Terrible sores would break out on

CORDELE. GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2U, 1899.
H. A. DUKES KILLED.
Night Watchman Wade Oochrai Shoot*
Foreman Dnkes, Killing Him
Instantly.
H. A. Dukes, foreman of the S. J.
Hill – Bro. planing mill of this place,
wont to the mill Wednesday morning
and began to repremand night watch
man Wade Cochran for non-perform
ance of duty, and using some severe
language. Cochran explained the
reason why the work was not done,
but this did not seem satisfactory to
Dukes, and, according to the state
ment of the only eye witness, jumped
on Cochran, jerking him to his knees
with open Knife drawn, wlieu Coch
ran shot at him four times, only
three of the balls taKing effect. The
witness states that he never Knew
the men to have any previous diffi
culty. The Killing occurred about
twenty minutes to six. The deceased
leaves a family of wife and two chil
dren.
Tliere was only one eye witness to
the killing. Mr. J. H. Welch was
present, seeing and hearing all that
was passed between the two men.
His statement is as follows:
“Mr. Dukes came to the mill last
night and found Cochran asleep.
Dukes abused Cochran for being
asleep on duty. This morning
(Wednesday) Dukes asked Cochran
why he hadn’t done some work here
in the mill. Cochran said he didn’t
have any light to see how to work
by, and Dukes told him he was a
G 1 - D---liar, that he was asleep
was the reason he didn’t, Dukes
kept approaching Cochran all this
time, and Cochran kept backing off,
and told Dukes not to curse him as
he was a white man the same as he
was. Dukes told Cochran that he
(Cochran) had not treated him like
a white man. Cochran told Dukas
that he had treated him ever since
he had been here as good as he could
treat a man. By this time Dukes
had his knife out, and Cochran said,
Mr. Dukes don’t you draw your
knife on me, and Dukes said, G—
D---you Iv’e not drawn it on you.
When Dukes opened the he
began to use it as though cleaning
his nails, and stood there about a
second, when he made a dash at
Cochran, grabbing him around the
neck, and jerked him on his his knees, right
and reached around with
hand to cut him, and by the time he
got his right hand around, Cochran
shot him. When he did, Cochran
got loose from him and stepped back
two or three steps and shot at Dukes
twice again. After these shots
Dukes kept on adyancing toward
Cochran, who kept backing off for
about twenty steps, when Cochran
shot Dukes again. After last shot,
Dukes turned and ran twenty or
twenty-five steps and fell. Dukes
did not shut up his knife until last
shot had been fired, and when he fell
the knife was in his hand.”
After the killing, Cochran imme
diately gave himself up to police au -
thorities. A warrant was sworn out
and Cochran was tried before Judges
Smith and Campbell, which resulted
in his acquittal.
Death of Mr. H. B. Whitsett.
Mr. Homer B. Whitsett died at
his home in Cordele last Saturday
morning at 9 o’clock, He had
been in ill health a year or two.
The funeral services were conduc
ted Sunday morning by Rev. Elam
Culpepper, pastor of the First
Baptist church of Cordele, and the
interment took place in the Whit
sett family burying ground. Mr.
Whitsett was twenty-seven years
of age, was raised near Cordele
and has lived in Cordele for several
years. He was attentive to busi
ness, often going where his phys
ical condition would have kept
most people at home: He ieaves
a wife and two children, a mother,
two sisters, two brothers and a
large number of relatives and
friends to mourn his death..
Macon has sent a committee to
Washington to confer with Admiral
Dewey and extend him an invitation
to visit that city. It is to be hoped
that he will accept, as a great many
of his admirers - through this
section will not be able to go to At
lanta, but can go to Macon.
Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. “ Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest tests,
but her vital organs were under
mined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed in
cessantly, and could not sleep. She
finally discovered a way to recovery,
by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr.
King’s and New Discovery much for Consump
tion, was so relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has
been absolutely cured. Her name is
Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W.
C. Hamnick – Co., of Shelby, N. C.

This will be the means of bringing
many strangers within our gates,
thereby giving to our city an ad

Eight-cent cotton would be a pres k

of cotton, go back into the low

Consumption
is robbed of its terrors by
the fact that the best med
ical authorities state that it
is a curable disease; and
one of the happy things
about it is, that its victims
rarely ever lose hope.
You Know there are all sort* of
secret nostrums advertised to cure
consumption. Some make absurd
claims. We only say that if taken
in time and the laws of health are
properly observed,
