Blaine's Friend, and Hie Enemlee—Con- creeamaa McCreary civet Hie View* a* . to Campaign leant*-The Macon Can ■traction Company. Washington, June 3 —Secretary Blaine was In Boiton yesterday, and the telegraph reported that he enjoyed a drive, although be waa afterwards care fully guarded from callers. There are two partlee to the state of Blaine’s health, one maintaining that he will soon bo in possession of his usual mental and physical vigor, and another •opposed to be unfriendly to hie canill dacy, who declare thot be will never re turn here in an official capacity. There appears some ground for the lat ter view, for Harrison has taken on him self the management of foreign affair* with the assistance of Secretary Charlie Foster, who Is well up op reciprocity. E-t- Governor, now Congressman, Mc Creary is here. Ho says the next eon gress will pass a freo coinage bill, and the president will veto. It. Ihe house will then pass it over hts veto and the senate will be apt to smother it. This he believee will result In a compromise bill, and freo ooinage will not be a salient Issue in the next campaign. Tariff reform, he thinks, will be the party slogan in 1803. Ex-Senator Ingalls has accepted an In vitation extended by Bev. J. W. Heidt, manager of the Georgia Chautauqua, to deliver an address at Llthta Springe some time In Jnly. Mrs. Mary E Lease, of Kansas, the famous lady alliance lead er who contributed largely to defeat Ingalls and eleot Peffer, has also decided to visit the chautauqua and address the people. Efforts to secure Hon. William R. Morrison and Hon. Ben Butler Worth are now on foot. Col. Nat Harris, of Macon, passed through here last night on his way to Baltimore. He reports the offers of the Macon Construction company far from satisfactory and sees no hope at present of lifting that concern out of ihe hands of a receiver. A Distillery In Flame*. Chicago, June 3.—The Shufeldt dis tillery Is burning and will probably be entirely conenmed. It Is attributed to the whliky trust. It Is thought that the - flames In the Shufeldt distillery are under control. The lose will be <100,000. Overheated flues cause of fire. A dispatch says the whisky trust has bought Shufeldt and Culumct distillers, paying <1,000,000 for the Shufeldt and <300,000 for the Cnlumet W. □. Shufeldt dentes the report. He Dropped the Counters.

Verily, the Americas National Build ing and Loan Association seems planted on the solid rock of prosperity and that concern can now be numbered among the institutions of Amerlcus, with the accent on the the. No busier men can be found than those who havo its affairs in charge. Daring this week 380 shares of the stock have been taken, to say nothing of those taken which havo not yet been re turned by the company’s agenu, who are fast becoming scattered throughout the country. This la a wonderful showing, and it speaks volumes for the Amerlcus Build ing and Loan Association. A Pleasant Event. One of the most pleasant events ever known In Amerlcus was the entertain ment which Miss Leila Maxwell last night tendered to her friends at the res idence of her mother on Taylor street Nothing was left undone that could have added to the enjoyment of tho oc casion, for Mrs Maxwell and Miss Leila are well known as entertainers, and none have abetter reputation for enter taining than they.

Plains, Ga., June 3.—The weather is fair and open with us, and all kinds of farm work Is progressing well, the har vesting of small grains engaging the principal attention at present. Mrs. J. H. West, after several weeks' Illness, died May 20, and her remains were Interred at Macedonia cemetery. She was an amiable intelligent lady, a consecrated Christian and a fond wife and mother. We tender the bereaved family onr sympathy in their great affliction. Mr*. H. H. Black, Infant and nurse had a very narrow escape on Friday eve ning. Her horse became frightened and ran away, overturning the buggy and throwing them out. Their inju ries, however, were very slight. Vaj. J. H. Black, who hat beon sick for several days, Is able to be np again. Black's mill dam wss considerably broken on Monday. 'The loss It esti mated at <200, and It Is thought that fifteen days will be consumed In repair ing the damages. Fishermen In our community hare been reaping a rich harvest-as ono of the result* of the break. Mlseea Florence Jone* and Fleta Wise, who have been attending eobool, the former In Dawson and the latter In Lees- villa, S. C., have just returned home to ■pend their vacation. Miss Lena Ford, of Amerious, has been visiting here, the guest of Miss Willie Cato. Mr. Tyre Jennings, of Atlanta, la spending some time with Ills parents here. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wells, of Ameri ous, are in our village, stopping with Mrs. Timmerman. Sheriff L. B. Forrest spent Sunday in our community. Mr. Roe Edwards and Miss Jessie Jones went over Into Webster Sunday to see Miss Rena Wright. Mr. and Mrs. E. Timmerman, Dr. Wise, F. W. Griffin and U. J. Jennings went over to Amerlcus on Monday.

Drummers have boen quite numerous with us during the past week. Messrs. Block, Cain, Carter, Edwards, Evans, Jennings, Jossey, Mitchell and Moore have Been supplying our merchants with groceries and fabrics. Conostslons Wore Made. The special committee appointed by the rhilroad men in -conference in Mo- oon to regard to the lumber business made Its report which was adopted Tuesday afternoon, after wbloh the moetlng adjourned. The committee consisted of Superin tendent Dill, of the Central; Superin tendent Fleming, of the Savannah, Florida and Western; Superintendent Blanfleld, of tho East Tennessaee; Su perintendent ‘Hogo, of the Georgia Southern, and Superintendent Marshall, of the Savannah,, Americas, and Mont gomery, appointed to consider the mat ter and modifled the requirements at aeked.by the lumbermen, made their report to the afternoon meeting and It was considerably in favor of the lum bermen. The report will be printed and Issued to the djfferent railroad* concerned. It must first go before the railroad commis sion, which it will do this week. Tho report, It te understood, allows the use of smaller standards than those required by the former rales. The old rale required them to be 4x4 with six to A side. Under tne new rale three to a •Ide will only be required. Jt was this the lumbermen wanted, as heretofore they have been required to use, what they say, la an unnecessarily large amount of lumber In making fasten ings for the care. It I* certain that the modified rules will be very acceptable to the lumber dealers. Richt Ton Are Hon. C. L. Bartlett of Macon, one of Georgia's best posted men, rcoently spoko to a Constitution man a* follows In regard to the spoakershtp matters: ■I don't take much stock In this talk that Colonel Blount is against Judge Crisp for speaker.” “While I have not talked with Colonel Blonnt on the sub ject, I havo no donbt bat that ho will vote for J ndge Crisp. Of course, every body In Georgia wants to see Crisp elected.” Mr. Bartlett is generally accredited a* being In touch with Mr. Blount and ho probably speaks by tho card. At any rate ho is correct in saying that “evory- ' ' ' wants to ‘ see Ji ' ONE MAN SHOOTS ANOTHER OVER A GAME OF CARDS Both Claimed the Gome—They Disputed— Words Multiplied And Two Pistol Shots Ended the Trouble And a Lite-The Murderer Skipped Out. There was a killing In Montgomery county Tuesday night that Is terrible In Its details. From what oould be learned by a Timxb-Rkcobder reporter yesterday the affair was one that would nearer do cred it to a Bowery gambling den than to the ueually quiet county of Montgomery. It Is the same old etory of a game of cards, a dispute, the whole rounded np with a murder and two families made miserable. A .gentleman who was in the city yee terday gave the reporter the following Information In regard to the affair: Mr. Cbarlea Savtllo and Mr. R. P Preston, two white men, worked at the tame saw mill in Montgomery county. Their families live near eaeh other In the mill quarters, and ever since they have been thrown bo oloeely together they have been Intimate friends. Like most people who work about a saw mill they both liked a game of cards occa sionally, and it was more than onoe the ease that they played for a email amount of money, jnst to make it Interesting. ■ A few days ago Savllle’s family left home to vlelt relatives in a neighboring county. The occasion woe auspicious for the men to have a social game, so Tuesday Saville asked Preston to come over to his house that night to hare a little play. Preston accepted the Invitation. Little did ho know that it was an in vitation to his death. When night came he went to Sa vllle’s bouse. Among the other things that the host had provided for the occasion was a jug of whisky. They took a chanco at that and then set about playing eeven up for ten cents a game. Frequently they went to the jng containing the whisky and partook of its contents. Every thing went nioely for awhile and fifty cents would have balanced the losses of either party. Finally the liquor began to take effect, and the men became addled. They played a hand and Pros- ton claimed that it put him seven and that he had won. He reached for the money. Saville stopped him and told him that he had not made enough to pot him ont The dlepute waxed warm. Presently, when Preeton continued to olalm that he was ont, Saville eald: “You are *M—d lying ton of *—." Saville did not finish his words for Preston slapped him full In tho face, knocking him backwards. Then Pres ton started toward him. Just tbon Sa ville raised np, and leaning on one el bow, drew his pistol and fired at Pres ton. The boll struck jnst below the left nipple and grazed the heart. As the shot was fired Preston staitod to ran, when he was shot again, the ball entering the middle of bis book. The wounded man tottered and fell, erylDgont: “Goat God, be baa killed me! He killed mo for twenty cental” Saville lost no tlmo In tarrying to see tho effect of bis wounds, but hurried to escape at once, and before any one knew what bad been done he was safely away. The residents of the quarter beard the pistol shots and hastened to the- sccno, to find 11. P. Preston lying on the floor in a pool of hla own blood. It was nvl- dent to all who taw him that he was mortally wounded. To the first who arrivod be told the ■tory of the affair as It Is given above. That story be affirmed with his dying breath, for ho wua a dead man In twenty minute* after the fjrtt shot was fired. Hie death was remarkably easy under the circumstances and he seemed to ■uffer bnt little. Preston's wife and little girl were among the last to- arrive at the home. The scene when they entered was affeet- Ing Indeed. The woman threw herself across the body of hor husband and re futed tq move until she was forced away by the strong men who bore Preston's body to hit own home. The little 'girl, who is about 10 years old, cried all the time like her heart would qreak. . Preston loaves this wife and child. Saville has a wife and two young boys. It Is^bought that Saville wonld first make his way to where hi* family Is be fore going off, and a close watch it being kept for him. All claseee seem to be united in wanting him brought to justice.
