Special to The Herald.
Atlanta. Ga., March 29.—Fifty thou

the Georgia Railway and Electric Co.
find the Atlanta Gas Light Co. to.the
Southern Industrial Exposition, which
Is to he held In Atlanta in 1910. No-
Uee of this fact was given the exposi
tion committee yesterday by Preston
S. Arkwright, of the Georgia Railway
and Electric Co. There are no strings
attached to the gift. The directors of
the street chr company know that the
exposition will be located near some
of the company's lines, so there Is
nothing to fear that the street railway
concern will not get some return from
the exposition.
The little folks are counting the
days that Intervene between the pres

From the Amotions Tlmes-Recorder, y
A wholesale shooting affray oc
curred yesterday morning four miles
north of Amerlcus between the hosts
of Williams and Coleman, two pros
perous negro farmers, In which a vol
ley of shots were tired aad three mem.
hers of the opposing factions' shot
down.
The fight was over a land line, the
usual casus t)elli, and was a royal
scrap while It lasted.
, Joe Williams and his wife were bad
ly peppered by the guns of the oppos
ing faction, while a third negro got
one or two leaden charges as well.
None of the wounds were serious, and
all of the participants came to town
later, to swear out warrants.
Great excitement naturally resulted
over the shootfest, and the neighbor
hood was in a ferment all day, with
farm- work wholly forgotten.
A dozen warrants were taken out by
the several scrappers.
It Is said that 'Joe Williams was
told that Mose Coleman was coming
to the Held yesterday prepared to as
sert his claims to the land vi et
armis. Williams accordingly carried
his single-barrel howitzer, and was ac
companied by his better half.,
Soon the Coleman cohorts showed
up, riding in a wagon and carrying
light artillery. Their forces were very
quickly deployed and without further
preliminaries the sanguainary fight
opened.
,The Colemans were better heeled,
and the shots sent from their ranks
raked the entire frontal line of the
enemy. Williams fired 1 only one shot
■from his old single-barrel gun and then
turned to run, the Colemans raking
his line aft as they fled.
One slug or bullet caught Williams
In the back, making a bad wound.
With the retreat of the Williams
family the battle ended—for the time
—and the fight was then transferred
to the court house. Each side swore
out warrants for the others, and all
thus accused of the Shooting were re
quired to give bond, until the case.Is
'called.
Judge Crisp will referee the fight
on Saturday, April 7th, and In the
meantime the doctors are mining lead
in paying quantities among the veter
ans of the sanguinary battle.

Night Will Be Given Destitute and
Deserving Widow.
For the benefit of a widow, who re
cently lost everything she had hy fire,
the local skating, rink- will be given

Miss Lula Hilsman has the arrange

rink for the benefit. An admltance
fee of 10 cents will be charged all
who come in, and the regular price for
skating will be enforced. The rink

There are no people more charitable
than Albanians, and It is safe to pre
dict that the rink will he well filled

water in the world. Down here In
Albany you have artesian water which
is as far ahead of the North Georgia
Water as anything could be, and
little is said about it. I consider this
abundance of artesian water |he best

believe if it were bottled and sold like

profit in the artesian water business.”
