Quite a little cutting affray oc¬ curred in the second district of Pike, between here and Zebulon, on Thurs¬ day morning, between Sanford Mc¬ Cord and Ed. Nichols. The two are neighbors, and the water from a portion of McCord’s land runs Nichols’place, making a bad gully. Nichols had cut a ditch around to obviate this, and McCord had it up with trash. On Thursday morning Nichols was clearing out the ditch when McCord appeared and made friendly overtures, then out warning knoeked Nichols with a stone on the head, after he jumped upon him and cut him times with a knife—twice in the head, twice in the breast and once in back. None of the wounds thought deep enough to be ous, unless blood poisoning occur. Jim Ferrall, an employe McCord, was present and is said have assisted him. It is stated both are of bad character in neigborhood. Mr. Nichols is a er of J. P. Nichols, of this city, has the sympathy of all his bors in the matter. Dudley Gees Scott Free.

Try Ti - n NEW BANK! _____ GREATEST RECENT ™ ENTERPRISE. —Good Vault, **e#t 8oB» nod Handsome Office, It Start* Off With Good Boaineaa and Flattering Auaplce*. • 'it ■ ■ Th* beat enterprise that has been inaugurated la Griffin for many yean, and one that will do most for the pros¬ perity of the town, has been quietly pushed through and is now in success¬ ful operation without any premature booming or blowing of trumpets. We refer to the Merchants and Planters Bank, which has nearly doubled the banking capital and fa¬ cilities of the place, and, organised loing a good business. A visit to their office in the Agri¬ cultural Building will show one of the most completely equipped and handsomest banking establishments in the State, while at the same time no ihoney has been expended in use¬ less and ostentatious display—the money being in the vaults and the subscribed capital, and at the com¬ mand of all who canfurnish the prop¬ er security. The new gilded railing arrived and waa put in position yes¬ terday on the top ol the handsome counter of solid Georgia pine, and the grating put on the front window, finishing the appearance of a room complete in all its appurtenances. The vault is a fine one, with solid walls and well bolted, well fitted up with shelves and pigeon holes. Inside is probably the finest and most mod¬ ern safe in the State, with combina¬ tion and time lock, heavy walls and doors, and t wo strong compartments for cash and valuables. The bank proposes shortly; to add con¬ veniences for a safety deposit compa¬ ny, to be run in connection with the bank and for the benefit of its pat¬ ron# who may have valuables to store in a safe place; a feature en¬ tirely new to this section. Bat after all it is not handsome apartments, strong safes nor fire¬ proof vaults that make a bank; it is the men who officer itand who stand back of it as a guarantee to its pat¬ rons. In this respect the Merchants and Planters Bank of Griffin is most fortuuate and can compare favora¬ bly with any similar institution any¬ where. With an authorized of f200,000 and a subscribed of 9100 , 000 , it inspires even confidence and respect by officered by such men as Hon. J. Boyd, President; Hon. Vice President; Capt. D. D. Peden Cashier; and County Treasurer J.C Brooks, Assistant Cashier; and having such a Board of Directors Messrs. J. D. Boyd, W. J. Kincaid, Grantland, D. H. Peden, N. B. ry. H. H. Baas and R. F. —every one of whom is known to an honorable, safe, conservative successful business man. While servative, they are progressive liberal, and the people of this may be assured that the addition this part of their resources and of the many other stockholders be used for the upbuilding and perity of the comm unity and the efit of their patrons. President J. D. Boyd, who early the year took hold of the project carried it to such successful tion that before the time for tion he was overwhelmed with for more stock than he had to of, is well known far and wide this part of Georgia, of which he is native, as a safe and successful ness man, as well as a gentleman the strictest probity and honor. was his safe and conservative duct of his own business, by through his own exertions, while comparatively a young man, he accumulated a handsome that made the project a success soon as he took hold of it. He have had any amount of capital that he might have but preferred to have the fortune# his own people identified with bank, and hence nearly every of the capital is home money. Vice President S. Grantland is gentleman whose fortune and prise have added greatly to the perity of Griffin and are with every recent improvement. repeated electioto as Mayor of city, the last time without , tion, which position he held just vious to the present shows the respect and esteem is felt toward him by all classes. Cashier D. D. Peden is the most perienced gentleman for the that could have been selected, been for many years cashier of Griffin Banking Company lately the high salaried of W. C. Lyons large He is probably the most expert countant and financier in this tion of the State, while his character, aa well as that of his ly, are well known. Assistant Cashier J. C. needs no more introduction to readers than doy of the preceding gentlemen, being, though a young man, In his second term as County Treasurer, to whteh position he was elected both times practically with¬ out opposition and will in ailprobabil ity continue in theoffieefor so me time to come, having given the greatest satisfaction to all parties. For sev¬ eral years past he has been the effi¬ cient book-keeper of Bass Brothers large store. Of the directors and the manage- raens it is nst necessary to aay fur¬ ther. Suffice it to say that with such a personnel the Merchants and Planters Bank is destined inevita¬ bly to step at once to the front of such institutions and command an instant snccess, in wbieh it has the very best wishes of the News as® Sun, which is always glad to accord a hearty and fitting welcome to such great and beneficial institu¬ tions.

Hanged Private- lyon Oetober nth. The superior court room was crowded with whites and blacks yes¬ terday afternoon to hear sentence passed P"””™ upon -------- the criminals convicted the past week, all of whom were col- ored. The sentences were «« lows: Jerry Humphrey, simple lareeny; eight months or $55. v Charlie Wilson, assault with intent to murder; six years in the peniten¬ tiary. penitentiary Josie Plummer, arson; for life. A motion for a new trial will be made. Charlie Thomas, murder; to be privately hanged on the 11th day of October, between the hours of 12 and 2, within a mile of the court house. Only relatives, friends, a clergyman, a doctor and sufficient guards to be admitted, the whole number present not to exceed thirty. The particulars of th# crimes have already been fully printed in the News and Sun. In delivering the sentences Boynton was very impressive and made several striking observations. In the case of Jerry Humphrey, whose counsel had pleaded for because he was a poor man, Judge observed that-that was all more reason why he should lie est; that a poor man’s and character was his whole ty upon which he could draw for livelihood and pleasure, while a man might buy pleasures and fluence. In the same case the coun sel had insinuated that the ant was convicted because he Was negro, but Judge Boynton took cassion to deliver a deserved to such remarks. He said that some cases a jury might well be plexed by the counterbalancing timony offered, and the only wonder was that in all the years of his experience he had seen so few rect verdicts rendered by men so tle used to weighing the laws of dence; and that the only when he had occasion to rebuke jury for a verdict in a criminal was in the flagrant acquittal of colored man. The colored may be at some disadvantage in court, but it is because of his ance of law and testimony and becauee of any prejudice on the of the jury. In the Thomas case, the Judge ed attention to the fact that the demned man had previously been excellent character, and that crime which he waa to expiate his life would never have been mitted but for the mischievous of carrying a pistol, witti which he slain a personal friend. 1 The sermons preached from bench yesterday were more sive than many that will be from pulpits today, carrying aa did such object lessons with them. -a A Great!
