Baying Cotton
Mr. Morris Mayer gives notice in

A Pleasant Time
A pleasant dance was given at the
Bogen House on Monday evening in
honor of Miss Mary Cohen, of Pater

linsky, of our citY*. Modena’s hand
discoursed sweet music, and flying

September Slit. Site was eighty-four
years of age; and in February last
she, Yvith her aged husband, celobrat

and his bereavement is surely a sad
one.

.»f Messrs. Jas. A. and A. P. Greer, of
this city, died at tho residence of her
on on Friday evening last at
o’clock, aged 71 years. Mrs. Greer
had been a sufferer for a long time,
and expressed a Christian willingness
to die. She was a pious member of
tho M. E. church, where the funeral
services were held on Sunday morn
ing.
Low Rate of City Tax,
The Albany City Council this year
have levied a tax of only 4-10 of oue
per cent, or |4 on the $1,000. In 1877
the rate was 8-10, just doubio this
amount; in 1878 it was 5-10, and this
year it is reduced to 4-10. This is a
good showing for the present Coun
cil, when we take into consideration
the cost of the terra cotta permanent
improvements, Yvhicli we consider the
most valuable investment ever made
by tlie city.
The Savannah Centennial--Court, ete.
Next week the Savannah Centen
nial comes off, and many of our peo
ple expect to attend. Next wock, too,
is the regular timo appointed for
holding Dougherty Superior Court.
The hoys can’t serve on tho jury and
go to tlie Centennial, too; so a peti
tion is being signed by tlie lawyers
ard grand jurors, usking Judge
VV right to adjourn for a week, which
ho will probably do. We have no
authority for saying that lie will do
so, however, nnd jurors and others
concerned had best come to tlie Court
house next Mondnv.
TIIK HOMICIDE LAST SAT*
I'KBAV !
KILLING UK MIL S. D. WILSON HY MIL
LEWIS BARKER.
A IIES1-KKATK KIUHT.
On Snliii-dny Inst at noon an alter
cation occurred between Mr. S. D.
Wilson ami Mr. Lewis Barber. Iyvo
well known planters of this country,
in Yvlileli Mr. Wilson was fatally shot
by Mr. Ixivis Burlier. The trouble
occurred just eight miles licloYV Al
bany, on tlie “Orr Plane," owned by
Mr. S. lb Wils.m, brother of deceas
ed.
Shortly after the killing occurred
a messenger came into town and call
ed a physician. The IJoroner Yvns
notified, nnd immediately ordered
tlie Sheriff to siiiniuoii a jury for in
inquest, which was held at 8 o’clock
p. m. From all tlie evidence intro
duced, the particulars of tlie killing
seem to lie about as follows:
Some time last spring Mr. Lewis
Barber bought a certain amount of
corn from Mr. Wilson, and gavo his
mile for payment, with tho rent note
of one of tlie colored tenants on his
place as security. On tho morning
of the killing Mr. Barber packed a
hale of cotton belonging tn his moth
er, nnd had it ready for market. Mr
Wilson sent a negro man to Mr. B.,
and told him that lie must ’have that
bale of cotton in payment of the note.
Burlier refused, saying that lie would
pay with another bale which would
soon be ready. Wilson sent again
for it, and Barber sent Yvord to him
that lie must send tho nolo before he
could get the cotton. Wilson then
got on his horse and ordered liis
wagoner to go immediately and load
the cotton. Wilson followed the
wagoner and had (lie cotton put on
and hauled to his own gin-house.
Barber YvctiloY-erand said to Wilson :
“I suppose Y'ou are going to take my
cotton, anyway ?” Wilson said “Yes,’’
atid Barber then said to him : “If you
attempt to carry it to toYrn, I will
kill you or von will kill me one.”—
Wilson then took up a heavy stick
and started towards Barlier. Barber
then asked: “Is that your game?”
Wilson then put down liis stick, Yvent
in his house and got his pistol, came
hack and a loud quarrel ensued.
Wilson then niOY-ed to the inside of
liis gate. Barber, still on horseback,
ritnrtcd to l-ide oil', After Wilson
closed tlie gale, ho remarked: “You
tried once to steal from old Prince,
you G d d u rascal.” Barber
then turned liis horse hark and said:
“If you say that, Wilson, yon are a
d n liar.” Wilson repeated it.—
Barber tlicn told him if lie would
come oil'liis own premises lie would
whip him. Wilson then drew Ids
pistol and fired on Barber—first shot
missed him, second shot hall struck
Barber in the arm, third shot struck
him in tlie right hip. Barber then
tired at 'Wilson four limes, tlie fourth
shot striking him through Hie heart.
After i-eceiY-ing this fatal ball, Wilson
rushed up to Barlier, Yvho still sat
upon Ids horse, and placing tlie muz
zle of ids weapon to Barber’s head,
pulled trigger, lint the cylinder had
been emptied. Barber then placed
liis pistol to Wilson's head anil fired
his final shot.
The rencontre was desperate, and
the coolness and bravery displayed
on both sides Yvas certainly Yvonder-
ful. Mr. Barber received two vory
painful wounds, but he is not con
sidered in danger. Mr. Wilson’s re
mains were buried in the Albany
cemetery on Sunday afternoon. He
leaves a wife and three young chil
dren to mourn his sudden death.
The coroner’s jury returned a Y-er-
dict of “justifiable homicide.’’

Albany is steadily tramping up tlie

Isrnelitish gentlemen for tiic practice
of gymnastic sports nnd exercises.—
The matter lias been talked of and
debated for several years, lint no defi
nite action was taken upon it until
September first. About that time a
meeting was held, and twenty-seven
in all, marched into tlie ureua and
said they were prepared to commence
the work of making athletes of tliem-
solves. Another meeting was held a
foiv days ago for the purpose of elect
ing officers for the ensuing six
months. Tlie folloYving is the result:

A master of exorcises xvill be elect

that more attention should be paid

posed of the best talent in Savannah,
and their performance of Pinafore
last spring was highly successful. In
our opinion these performances Yvill
be Hie most attractive features of the
Centennial, and no one who goes to
Savannah should fail to attend at

ting scats during the great rush of

Why is it that a portion of our
“cotton crop” which, by every right
of commerce, belongs in totum lo Al
bany, should lie carried to Ilawkins-
villc? There is certainly something
wrung, nnd it behooves you to call
tlie attention of your business men to
tlie fact. On Tuesday Inst some forty
bales of tlie fleecy staple left this
place for liaivkiusvillc, a market
more linn double the distance to Al
bany. On Wednesday it was sold in
liawkilisvillo at 9 5-16@9*^. Some
thing over one half a cent ubove the
top of the Albany inarkeL and no
commissions or storage deducted.—
Nor was there any bridge toll to pay.
t his within itself was a considerable
item, tint, when we add that parties
bought smoked bacon at 6}£ cents,
finest flour at $6 60 per barrel, best
bagging at 9 70, and arrow ties at
$2 60 per bunch, it speaks volumes
for ilawkinsviilc.
ISiii loess men of Albany, to yo.i
with confidence Yve appeal. Let uot
your legitimate trade thus slip from
you. Another train of wugoiis is
preparing for your rival market.—
stop it; turn the tide once more in
your favor. You have every facility
for so doing, and in you tlie fault
will lie if you pcrmi< auother bale to
slip through your lingers. O. J.
Our correspondent evidently means
only to speak for the good of Albany.
But, lie should recollect that some
times commercial men throw out
small “baits” in order to catch nnd
hold new game. Tiic communication
below, Yvliilo not written in answer
to “O. J.” doos throw some light up
on the subject, and without further
comment on our part, we submit the
article to tlie consideration of our
Warwick friends:
Albany, Ga., October 1, 1879.
Editor* Albang yews :
I have just been informed by sev
eral of my Worth county friends, ol
some wonderful transactions betwecu
themselves and tbe IlnYvkinsville mer
chants. This Ilawkinsviilc fever lias
suddenly assumed the shape of a con
tagion, and caused quite a number to
believe that they cuu obtain better
prices for their cotton in that distant
market tliau in Albany. The propo
sition is absurd when rightly consid
ered. Here we liavo a full corps of
buyers, directly connected not only
with leading linns of the trade, but
with the spinners, and the competi
tion is heavy. On tlie very day our
IViemls sold their cotton in Hawkiiis-
ville at 9 5-16 for tlie best quality, we.
puiil to their next door neighbors at
u basis of middling, for quite a
number of bales. It is not made
compulsory here for planters to sell
through commission merchants. It
is only a matter of choice with them
as to whether they do so or not.—
Some prefer paying this commission
to handling themselY'es. Others sell
direct. Albany is doing all she can
to make tlie Flint river bridge free,
aud thus save toll to her patrons.—
She sells goods cheaper on average
than any other market in Southwest
Georgia. Her merchants do not de
ceive planters by selling meat at one
cent per pound less than it costs in
Louisville in million pound quanti
ties. Such articles are called “lead
ers,” and when handled on the H&yv-
kinsville iilan might very appropri
ately he styled “leaders for mer
chants" anil “inisloaders for the peo
ple." It is not economy to bim at
such thill baits. I shall say more of
this matter in future.

rare degroo tho virtue of dramatic
equilibrium and this makes tiic pieces
Hioy present puss off smoothly aud
satisfactorily. Tho vocal ability of
the artists yvIio have solo parts is far
abovo tho nverngo and it must lie
confessed Hint tho organization is
most decidedly, as a whole, superior
to all its predecessors nnd this fullv
nc-eoiuits for tho splendid audiences.”
