Tuesday’s Cordele Daily News': On last Saturday morning about 6 o’clock, John Carr,' a negro crop per on the farm oi Mr. George A. Brown, u highly respected farmer living near Raines, in this county, went to the home of Mr. Brown and requested Mr. Brown to ad' vance him some money. Mr. Brown told the negro that it had only been a few days since he had let him, (the negro) have a sufficient supply to run on for quite awhile and that he could not afford to let him have money when his account was already more than his crop would make. Mr, Brown also called Can’s attention to the fact that he, (the negro) had forged an increase in the amount of tie order he had given, and refused to let him have any further advancements in the way of cash. At this the negro became very much enraged, and owing to the delicate condition of Mr. Brown’s wife’s health, he was told to get out of the yard; where upon his manner of speech became quite profane and abusive, and said that he would get out when he d—d pleased, and further, if Mr. Brown came out of the house and put his foot on the ground that he would fix lijm. Mr. Brown got his gun and told 'he negro that he must get out^of his yard. In an instance the negro seized a pitchfork and made at Mr, Brown. Mr.Brown fired on him at close range, killing him instan.ly. Coroner GrrUiam whs sent for, 'and ufter empaneling a jury the investigations brought out the. foregoing particulars. Their ver dict was: *'We the jury chosen and sworn to investigate the killing of John Carr, whose body lies before us, find that deceased came to bis death from the effects of a gun shot wound in the hands of G. A. Brown, and that 6aid killing was justifiable.” (Signed) H. M. Bass. Foreman. CITY COURT.

We give this explanation in justice to all con cerned. THE ROCK HILL SCHOOL CLOSING A Delightful Concert Was Rendered at Night and Enjoyed by Large Crowd. An occaston that was more higti-s ly enjoyed than any of the seasq/i was the picnic and concert given at this place on Friday last by A£iss Gillie Wrye, our efficient* teacher. Her efforts were indeed crowned with success as all the patrons were highly pleased with the advance ment of the pupils and have called her back for another term. She was very ably assisted in her con cert by Miss Mamie Sheppard, of Vienna. The children were well trained and each acted well their parts and kept the audience well entertained until a late hour. Miss Pilkinton won the prise for general deportment. * * In Memorianv Christ said, '-It I be lifted up. I will draw all men unto me.” In the lives of our associates we often hnd this express ion verified. Most especially was this true in the life of ‘ our young friend Marvin Auston Yawn, who finished his work here and entered into rest with the savior April aand, 1903. He was born Aug. 30th, it(8r, and was twenty years, eight months and ten days old. Just entering young manhood he was studiously preparing himself for a ir oat useful life. Day after day he walked by bis fathers aide, helping, comforting, strengthening Mm. Evening after even ing he entered his home, the joy. light and life of hit mother. To his brother and alster he was a loving companion, a wise counsellor, a devoted brother. All leisure hours were filled with preparations for Mercer University which he hoped to enter and fit himself for greater service to his family and fellow man, but he lias been called to the Uni versity of God where he has enicred the higher life, growing into the magnificence he could not attain here. He loved Jesui and so often expressed implicit faith and trust in Him during Ms severe lllne-.i, hence, we do not grieve as those without hope, for we are sure he is at rest. 'Tis very difficult to pay tribute to this worthy young friend, whom to know was to admire, whose beautiful trait* of character were an attraction to ail. His Father knew hi* worth, hence, He called him home. The dear parent* have a jewel there more costly than earthly gems, which will constantly attract and keep them near the Master. The gentle nursing, the kindly minis trations of bis family, hi* physician and' his friends could not restore him. Do not grieve for the re-setting of the jewel, but rather rejoice, knowing that the “Father doethall things well.” Your treasure is in Heaven, your hearts will be there alto; then, , Weep not that hi* tolls are over, Weep not that his race is run, God grant we may rest as calmly, When our work, like his, is done. Heaven retaineth now our treasure, Earth the lonely casket keeps, And the sunbeams love to linger Where our sainted iriend doth sleep. —L. M. We call special attention to our new line of POCKET CUTLERY Ra zors, scisors, shears, the prettiest line you ever looked at. J. P. HEARD & SONS.
