Cochran Lbr. Co. Man Killed at Cordele. Cordele, Ga. Sept. 5. —A deplor able tragedy occurred in Cordele Saturday night, and again our city was shocked with the news that an other man had been killed. About 7 o’clock Saturday night Will Parker, a horse trader, shot and instantly killed Grover Rowell, an employee at a saw mill about two and one-half miles from the city. The shooting occurred at the home of Parker in the eastern por tion of tlie city. Immediately fol lowing the shooting Parker surrend ered to city officers, Will Kendall and T. N. Turk and was incarcerat ed in the county jail. Coroner T. N. Turk secured a jury, composed of W. I). Gorman, C. O. Noble, P. C. Malone, J. B. Pate, J. IL Quattlebaum and E. P. James. Two witnesses were heard before coroner’s jury. Tlie first was Mrs. Bettie Parker, wife of the man who did the shooting. According to her statement Parker and Rowell had been friends for some years, but that Parker had refused to let Rowell come to his home while the latter was in a drunken condition, the reason being that Rowell used vulgarity and profanity while in toxicated. A short while previous to the shooting Mrs. Barker stilted that Rowell had come to the home under the influence of liquor and knocked on the door. in answer to the knock a young son of Barker opened tlie door, and seeing that it was Rowell seeking admission, he told him that he had A H H! || H jfQB B SI S jPg B B m Tkjj. ■ m jffl fin WS SB pSpjl Iff ifl k 3 | wS W( wflj> ii 111 i M —— AFTER THURSDAYSEPT 15TH1910 All Subscribers who are Over Twelve Months in Arrears will be Drop ped from our subscription list.

To this Rowell in a paroxysm of profane language made the threat that he had come to cut the elder Parker’s throat. The elder Barker then passed thru the front door, at which Rowell had attempted to enter, telling the latter to leave the home upon which Ro well made a futile attempt to cut him. Rushing down the steps, following several successive, but un successful, efforts on the part of Rowelltocut him, Parker was follow ed around the house by his assailant. Entering by the hack way, Barker secured a Springfield rifle, loadei?it by the light of a lamp and went out to meet his'adversary. Rowell again attempted tlie life of Barker, making several strokes at him, in in his last effort the knife striking the barrel of the gun held by his opponent. Barker then shot one time at close range, the ball strik ing Rowell’s right l and, penetrat ing the thick part of it, and enter the right breast. The hall made no exit from the mortally wounded man’s body, but lodged under the skin in his back. Susie Fullei, an old negro wo man, was then brought before the jury and testified, her statement corroborating in detail with that of Airs. Barker. After a lengthy consultation the the coroner’s jury returned a ver dict of justifiable homicide. The prisoner was released from jail a few minutes later. Bearing a warrant, charging Bar ker with murder, issued on an af fidavit of Carl Rowell, a brother of the dead man, Sheriff John H. Ward, re-arrested Barker early yes- NUMBEBI Pulashi Singing Convention. r l he Pulaski County Singing Con vention held its annual meeting last Saturday and Sunday at New Mid way.
