A Hotly Contested Case.
Jury Out All Night
Before Agreeing.
In Cobb Superior Court, last Thurs
day, the case of the State against 0. E.
Collum for shooting Dr. Terry, at Ac
worth, last April was tried. The bill
of indictment charged assault with in
tent to murder. Attorneys N. A. Mor
ris, John Awtrey, E. P. Green, of Mari
etta, and J. J. Northeutt, of Aeworth,
represented the defendant, and the
State was represented by Solicitor Gen
eral B. F. Simpson, Assistant John
Henley, J. Z. Foster and C. H. Griffin,
A large number of the citizens of Ac
worth were present, inany of them as
‘witnesses. The case was full of inter
est, owing to the prominence of .the
parties in the fight.
Collum and 'Terly had been partners,
and in closing out a debt due by the ‘
latter to the former was under discus
sion. Collum in the beat "of passion
gave Terry the lie, and the latter re
sented it by striking Collum in the face,
breaking his nose, blacking his eye and
otherwise injuring him. Collum said
Terry had a pair of metal knueks, but
Terry says he had an unopened knife in
his hand.
Threats were made by Collum and
Terry armed himself and the two men
met next day at {the postoffice, Collum
accosted Terry, both drew pistols;
Terry’s pistol although pointed first
failed to fire, Collum’s pistol fired, the
ball entering Terry’s hand, and he con
tinued to fire until he emptied his pis
tol. Terry ran and Collum pulled an
other pistol and fired one shot at his
fleeifig antagonist.
,The jury heard speeches from Judge
John Awtrey apd Hon. N. A. Morris
for the defendant, and Col. J. Z. Fos
ter, and Hon. John Henley for the pros
ecution, all able speeches and every
point closely presented.
Judge Gober finished his charge
about 8:30 and the jury returned.
They were out all night and returned a
verdict about 8:30 next morning find
ing the defendant guilty of assault with
intent to murder, and recommended
him to the merecy of the eourt. .
A fine of $4OO and cost was imposed
by Judge Gober; also $25 for carrying
concegaled pistol.
~ Dr. Terry was fined $lO for carrying
concealed pistol.
The fines were paid. .

AT CHURCHES,
i s
Able Sermons, Large At
tendance and Collec
tions for the Poor.
‘“The thing that hath been, it is that
which shall be; and that which is done
is that which shall be done: and there
is no new thing under the sun.”’—Eee.,
chll,v 9. This text was used by the
Rev. W. G. Woodbridge, of Atlanta, in
a sermon preached in the Presbyterian
church Thanksgiving day before the
united congregations of the Methodist,
‘Baptist and Presbyterian churches.
The minister showed that notwithstand
ing all the vast progress made in the
material world in the way of discover
ies and inventions, man himself as a
moral and intellectual ereature is in
herently the same as he was when Moses
led the children of Israel from the bond
age of Egypt, though his status, in
every respect, has been greatly raised
by improved econditions. He paid a
glowing tribute to Martin Luther, John
Calvin and John Wesley saying that
the good which they conferred upon
mankind by relieving it of the bondage
of superstition, ignorance and error, is
inestimable. At the conclusion of the
sermon a collection for the poor was
taken, and a good sum realized which
was divided equally among the three
churches. Rev. C.T. A. Pise conduct
ed the service at the Episcopal chureh,
preaching a fine sermon to a large con
gregation. A thanksgiving offering,
consisting of many gifts of a useful na
ture, was brought to the church by the
congregation for distribution among
the poor.
CAUSES RUNAWAY,
A Gentleman and Two
Ladies Thrown Out
and Slightly Hurt,
On Wednesday night of last week
Mr. Cleon Greer and Misses Bobbie Lou
and Farlie Bruce attended a social at
Mr. Shaw’s, in the country. On return
ing in a buggy, on Powder Springs road,
the front axle broke and dropped the
buggy to the ground. This pitched
Miss Farlie out on the horse and to the
ground. The horse ran and then Miss
Bobbie Lou and Mr. Greer were thrown
out. All three were bruised and slight
ly injured. The horse ecame on to town,
but the buggy was wrecked.
AND TO STAY,
Made Only One Crop in
Seven Years, Caused
by Drouths,
They go and they come. There got
off the train here last Saturday morn
ing, Mr John H Wilkie ard family from
Baxter county, Ark. They were en
route to their old home near Franklin
gold mines in Cherokee county, Ga,
Mr. Wilkie said he had lived in Baxter
county, Ark., for geven years and dur
ing that entire time he had made only
one good crop.g Drouth came and de
stroyed all his ?abor and he had come
back to Georgia where he could make a
crop every year. His wife’s health
there was miserable, and he has enough
of that country. He says people are
still going into that portion of the west
though by the wagon loads, all looking
for a better country, but he doubts if
they will find it, for if their experience
is such as his, a crop only in seven
years means destitution. Stay in good
old Georgia, where health is iu the air,
clear sparkling water flows from the
mountain sides, and cereals and fruits
grow to perfection, schools and church
es abound, and civilization has reached
a stage of industrial progress that is
beneficial to all.

Mrs. Perkinson left on the down vesti
bule for tLeir home at Woodstock.
Quite a number of visiting guests,

The bride is a strikingly beautiful
young lady, and her talents and lovely
character have won for her many
friends who regret to give herupasa
member of Gainesville society. She
graduated at Brenau College in 1898

all who know him.—Gainesviile Eagle.

day was a unique display of the pro

arranged in front of the pulpit by Rev.
Paris, the pastor. The products were
from the farm of the industrial school
being conducted by Rev. Paris in the

the truth that the industrious people in
Georgia have every reason to be thank
ful to the kind Providence which has,
this year, so bountifully rewarded their

doing a good work for his race and he
deserves every encouragement for his
