THE AMER1CPS DAILY TIME8-RBC0RDER: EBIBAY,-OCTOBER 3ft, 1891, belligerent negroes , nd uloe in a difficulty on cot- TON AVENUE. JM Daniel* HIU Tom "Shorty" on tho Hrad With » Bock and Badly Disables [IIm -1‘urcly a Cue of Self Denfense on Daniel'* Pact Yesterday afternoon about 330 o’clock ,e Daniel* and Tom “Shorty,” two ne- jrr.ies, engaged in a difficulty, which ro- aulted rather aerloualy for the latter. It seems that Daniels was walking down Cotton avenue when “Shorty” fol lowed him with an open knife, threaten ing to kill him, at the same time inter larding his discourse with a flow of pro fanity. Daniels, seeing that “Shorty" was under the Influence ot liquor, endcav. ored to ovade any difficulty, but was fol lowed with a continuation of the abuse aDd threats Seeing that something de risive would have to be done, he picked up a broom a stand In front of one of the stores and bit “Shorty’* once or twice with it in effort to keep him off. Gut even this had no effect upon him, and he still evincod a determination to make mincemeat of Daniels. Daniels, recognizing the fact that his person was fn danger, stooped to the pavement and picking up a rock weigh ing about two pounds and throwing it at "Shorty” from a distance of about fif teen feet, hit him squarely upon the right side of the forehead. This proved an effectual ending to tbe difficulty, as “Shorty” dropped like a log, and lay to all appearances dead. The stricken man richly deserved bis punishment, as every bystander can tes tify. He had been repeatedly warned ky Daniels to desist from Ills persecu tion, and in the face of these reiterated warnings continued to threaten the life of the other, at the same time holding in his hand an open knife. It is to be hoped that Daniels will be allowed to go free, as his action was one of pure self-defense. BARGAINS IN FULL DKKSS SIIIRTS.

Thoiinton Wheatly. Avenue Theatre. Tiie Richards & Pringle's Georgia Minstrels, composed entirely of colored performers, opened a week’s engagement last night at the Avenue theatre. Before tiie performance opened every seat in the house was taken, and admission to the balcony had to be denied to a great many for want of standing room. Tiie large audience received with much laughter the fun making of tho min strels. The performance was funny and clean, tho music, both vocal and in strumental, being equal to that of tbo majority of minstrel companies. The usual first part was admirably ar ranged, and every number on the pro gramme waa honored with a recall. Hilly Kersands, as usual carried off the honors ol the ovening, and while he was on tho stago kept the audience in roars of laughter. Tom Brown gave a good imitation of a Chinaman, Irishman and a Hebrew, proving himself to be a drawing card Tho black Patti, “Gauze,” has a fair voice and very taking wardrobe. Ills impersonation of a female is as near per fect as could be wished. The minstrels will, no doubt, as in past years, do a largo business —New i irlcans Timos-Domocrat. Fin* Fish. Capt. E. Taylor yesterday brought to the city two fine specimens of German carp which ha caught in Klncbafoonco creek, just below Smithvllle. He pre sented the fish to Messrs. A. J. Buchan an and A. C. Bell, and they (the fish, not tho gentlemen,) weighed respectively 8 and 0 pounds. Several years ago ■ Capt. Taylor'B father-in-law stocked a pond with carp, and after having bred the fish to a state of perfection tho dam broke and they all escaped into the creek. Tho two that Capt, Taylor captured are evidently a part of the lot which were originally raised in tbe pond. Several have been caught from Kinch- afoonee weighing upwards of 20 pounds. For Bale.

TERRIBLE fatality. •Indc* Batts KIU*d by a Fall From Bis Bona. Judge Walker Batts of SmithviUe was killed Wednesday morning at bis borne a few miles from Smithvllle by a fall from a horse which he was riding. It seems that Judge Batts went on business to town early Wednesday morn ing, Intending to go from there into the country on business. His route led him by his own door, and just before reach- log home hit horse became frightened and threw him. He did not seem to be seriously Injured,and after being thrown, arose and walked home. His wife, knowing that he was to pass the house on bis way Into the country, was not alarmed when ho came in, and even when be told her that he bad sustained a fall from his horse, was not seriously uneasy. After washing from bis face the dirt with which It was covered from the fail, the judge told hia little children to hur ry off to sohool, that he was not hurt; but one hour afterwards he was dead He sustained from the shock severe internal injuries which his system was not able to withstand, and shortly tbero after bad ceased to breathe. In Judge Batts’ death tbe community In which be lived sustains an almost Ir reparable loss, as he was a man beloved by all and an upright and public-spirited citizen.

The first symptom ia hoarseness; then the child appears to have taken cold or a cold may have accompanied the hoarse ness from tbe start, After that a pecu liar rough cough is developed, which is followed by the croup. The time to act Is when tho child first becomes hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy will prevent the attack. Even after a rough cough has appeared, the disease maybe prevented by using this remedy as directed. For sale by W. C. Russell.
