Last night in the late hours, al
though It was only a quarter of an
hour while it lasted, MlUy Foster and
Cora Wood, two colored damsels who
live, and move, and have their being
on State street, settled a little diffi
culty, not by telephone, telegraph or
letter, but personally:
The trouble began In this wise:
One of Cora's gentleman callers,
Frank Nelson, had reflected on Wily's
veracity—not once, nor twice, but
many times. Now Cora encouraged
him In it, and aided him. too. News of
the reflections finally reached MUly’s
ears, and with sorrow In her heart
and a knife In her hand, she hot
footed It to her friend’s house. She
knocked at the door.
"Who Ib that?” from Cora.
“It’s me, Milly Foster. I wants to
borrow a cup of sugar" (It would
seem that Nelson was right about her
truth-telling qualities.)
The ruse to get In was too thin to
succeed, and Nolson, who was In the
room, remembering the dread past,
suddenly took a liking for the floor—
that portion of It under the bed. Milly
came on In and rushed up to embrace
her friend. But Cora had grabbed a
frying pan, and proceeded to gently
tup her opponent on the head. The
knife was slashing, all right, and'
screams and yells awoke the solitude
of the night. At last MlUy dropped
her knife, ami her future looked dark
Indeed, for Cora certainly hndn't
dropped her frying pun. But Milly
was resourceful. It nothing else, and a
hatpin was brought into requisition.
At this Interesting stage of the pro
ceedings Nelson reached out an arm
from his place of concealment and
caught Mllly's ankle. A sudden jerk
and the couple struck the floor, still
mauling and hat-pinning. Just where
It might have ended can’t be said,
neighbors whose peaceful slumbers
had been disturbed, now coming In
and taking charge of affairs. Milly.
In a very lachrymose and swell
headed condition, was escorted home
and locked in for the rest of the night
by her zealous friends. Cora. In a
state that can be only diagnosed as
profanttls, and minus a few clothes, a
trifling circumstance due to Mllly’s
knife play, explained the affair to her
visitors and bade them depart, still
clutching the pan handle. And depart
they did, Including Nelson, who now
believes that he ought to take an opt!
tnlstlc view of anyone’s veracity.
Yesterday’s congresslpnal primary
wns a very quiet affair In Dougherty
county, as It must have been through
out- the district, except perhaps, In
some of the counties where there were
contests.for local offices.
In Dougherty there was no contest,
although a candidate for the legisla
ture was nominated. Mr. Sam H. Tift
was the only announced candidate for
the legislature and he went in with
out opposition.
Only three names appeared on the
ticket in this county yesterday—J. M.
Griggs, for congress; S. H. Tift, for
the legislature, and H. M. McIntosh
for member of the Dlstrlbt Executive
Committee, and each received the full
number of votes cast, 202.

the courthouse and the result declared
at noon today.
