Yesterday about noon Elizabeth Von
der Lieth, the teu year old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Von der Lieth, had n
narrow escape from death beueath the
wheels of a buggy on Lumpkin street.
The little girl was crossing Lumpkin
street near the store of Mr. Cobb Lamp
kin, and in looking in one direction did
not observe the approach of a buggy in
which a negro man and woman were
riding.
The negro was driving his mule at a
brisk trot and did not take the notice he
should have taken of the presence of the
child in the street la a moment the
hoofs of the mule struck the little girl
down aud the rear wheels of the buggy
passed over her body.
The negro turned around, saw the
child lying on the ground, and then
drove rapidly on as if nothing had hap
pened.
Mr. Martin, who passing by, picked
the little girl up aud saw at once that
she wa9 pretty badly hurt. Judge John

create a new judicial circuit in North

some opposition to the proposed bill.
Solicitor S. J. Tribble, of the city
court of Athens, was here today to see
several friends in the legislature and
protest against the catting off from the
Western circuit the counties of Banks
and Franklin, as the bill proposes.
Solicitor General Brand will arrive
tomorrow morning and it is understood
he will make a strong fight oj any in

Representative Shackelford is of the
opinion that the cutting off of Banks

would be a blow to Atheus and he will
also oppose the measure in its present
form.

The Atheus Wheat and Oat Fair will
beheld this year on Oct. 8, it being the
desire of the committee in charge to aid
the Northeast Georgia Fair as mnch as
possible by holding this fair at the same
time.
The time for the holding of the Wheat
and Oat Fair was Bet for August, but it
was deemed best to hold it during the
Northeast Georgia Fair, as that fair
will appeal most strongly t" the very
men who are contestants and interested
in the Wheat and Oat Fair.
The Wheat aud Oat Fair this year
will be ot surpassing iutere't as the
number of contestants has passed be
yond all former records and the inter
est in wheat and oat cn'ture has in
creased iu a remarkable degree iu this
section of the state.
There are fully one hundred aud fifty
contestants this year and it is said that
there have been raised some of the fioest
wheat crops ever seen in Georgia. Tbe
committee will arrange an interesting
program for the day aud all who attend

attacks upon Mr W. J. Russell, who
| lives near Princeton iu this county, and
as a result will have to answer to ths
charge of riot b fore the conrts of Clarke
and Oconee county.
Last Friday some of Mr. Russell’s cat
tle got into the field of Mr. Conoh at
Princeton, and Mr. Russell went there
aud got them onr as quickly as possible.
Mr. Couch cam up about that time and
demanded that he be paid for the dam
age done by the cattle, which Mr. Ru»-
sell agreed to do aud Mr. Couch then
left.
These two negroes followed Mr. Rus
sell after Mr. Couch had goue aud tried
to take the cattle away from him. Of
course Mr. Russell refused to let them
have the cattle and they then attempted
to attack him, one of them seizing hold
of him and the other haviug his knife In
his hand threatening to kill him. Mr.
Russell compelled them to leave him
before anything serious could occur.
Mr. Russell thought nothing more
bout tlie affair until Tuesday when he
was again attacked by Otho Hunter,
one of the two negroes who had at
tacked him la=t Friday. Mr. Russell
had gone over into Oconee county to

Over in Danielsville the people are
talking about the proposed electric road
from Athens to Carnesville, and it is
probable that an effort will be made to
have the line bnilt through that place.
The people of DaDielsville have been
trying for some time to get a railroad
and have already subscribed a good sum
of money to secure the extension of
Gol. James M. Smith's road from Col
bert to Danielsville.
If Col Smith should build that road
it might he that the people of Dauiels-
ville would not feel like subscribing for
another road, hut iu the event that he
does not bnild the road, they wonld in
all probability get into the movement for
the electric road with considerable ac
tivity.
At least they are talking the matter
over in an interested way and will prob
ably take active steps in one direction or
the other at an early dato.
