I tion that expert cotton men right In
I Augusta consider the market nt bot
tom prices when the local mills buy
heavily. Middling today is quoted at
11 cents per pound, against 13 1-2
cents per pound a year ago.
Tho Augusta mills generally seleet
the highest grade cotton procurable
on the market and consequently they
are enabled to manufacture cloth of

living on Popes alley, was attacked
by two men near Uerekmans nursery
and forced to take a drink Against

teg whlHkey It proved to bo common
lye, or dissolved potash, according to
a statement from Dr F. H. Hay lea,
Interne at the city hospital
Aeording to the story told by Fitz
gerald, he had been off at work and
was on the way home when he waa
acosted by two heavy built men and
they asked him If he did not wlall a
drink. He Informed them he did not,
hilt they Insisted and grabbed him,
pouring the liquid Into his mouth by
force. They then threw him down
and left him by the roadside. Inline
dlately after drinking the dose he was
attacked by hemorrhage and this
probably saved his life.
As soon as lie was able he yelled
with all his might for help and suc
ceeded In attracting attention. Mr.
Uerekmans had a team hitched up
and sent the unfortunate man to the
city hospital, where ho Is being treat

he Is resting well today.
There Is no clue by which the mis

An authentic report stales that Hie
Hon. Thou. E. Watson will speak In
Augusta the first week In August,
making this one of the points of his
campaign In an effort to carry Georgia
in the contest lor Iho presidency of
the United States on the populist
ticket.
It Is understood that the McDuffie
statesman will also speak In Savan
nah, probably before lie doer In An
gusla, but It Is hardly presumed by
leading men who formerly supported
him here that he will be »h|c to ma
terially affect the democratic vote ol
the state at. largo, but will probably
prove a factor in canning a heavier
democratic vote by bringing out tnou
sands of voters who would not go to
the polls if the contest was warfed
only between the republican and deni
ocralic nominees for Die presidency.
So far as can be ascertained no
plans have yet been made for Mr.
Watson's speaking hero, but arrange
merits will probably he made soon if
It la definitely decided that the pop

them perhaps fatally.

PITCHED BATTLE

CEMETERY.
The night's developments In the
hunt for the bandits were by far the
most seiiHatlonul In the criminal an
mils of Boston. The pitched battle In
tin- conietcry as morning dawned was
like a battle of war limns, but the
odds were heavy on one side. That
wus on tin* side of tin- police, ft wns
a case of two men with two guns,
against 500 men With 000 guns, and a
dozen rounds of ammunition. The
desperadoes lost. One was killed.
The other may have been killed. The
police emerged with only a few
wounded,
Marching In soldier like fashion, af
ter an all night vigil In the lonely
hills, the police advanced upon the
fugitives a few minutes after 4
o’clock, and hunter) them to cover.
Then the shooting began.
The air was filled for fifteen min
utes witli pellets of lead.
Spectators saved themselves from
the shower of bullets by crouching
alongside of stone fences and behind
Ire* : and none was reported Injured.
T lie Hi-cue wns one of Indescribable
confusion. The desperadoes with
stood the fire as long as they couid,
returning It until their ammunition
gave out. Then they fell.
Tin- victim was carried off the field
In an automobile. As tip- smoke of
battle seemed to subside, a youth
whose Identity was later learned, was
seen running from the cemetery close
lo lie- edges. Again the signal to flro
; was given, and once more the show
lor of load whizzed through the air.
At tin- moment the youth was sus
