PITCHED BATTLE E Sumter County Negroes in a Fight Over Land Line Fence—Disputants Met at the Line With Shot Guns. Special to The Herald. Atlanta. Ga., March 29.—Fifty thou sand dollars Is the donation made by 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 ent and the first Sunday school picnic. 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. T- Mr. Mike Cohen left Albany this morning tor Coffee Springs, Ala., on a business trip. 1 ALL WHO SKATE WILL AID WIDOW.

ALBANY'S MATCHLESS , ARTESIAN WATER Beats All the Mountain Spring Water, Says a Traveling Man. “I'go up to North Georgia, to those mountains there," said a traveling man yesterday, "and those people there are Always talking of their water —the great freestone water. They thlnk.lt is the best tasting and most healthful 7 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 drawing card Albany has.
