Centenary af Metho.il.m.
Thin is ihe centennial year of the entab-
linhiuent of the Methodist church in
America. end the churcn is celebrating it
in serious ways, one of I be festnres being
"Childn n’e Dty,” which • ecnrrcd last
Monday. In the erening the church was
tilled to overflowing with poople to listen
to Ihe excrolsee, whieli consisted of
recitations and singing by tho chil
dren, and was very pltosaut and
m.tructivo. The church sue d*eo-
rjled with flowers, and everything wore
a festal appearance, ns was fitting to tho
occasion. Prof. Orr read a brief p-l»r as

few days. Entering the enclosure, be
tonne! only tho workmen and City Clerk
Brinson, who was engaged in hunting
'.geological specimens from out of Ihe dirt
smptied from the well. In looking over
bis spi ciiarns wo saw that the drill was
engaged in going through s flinty rock,
filled with remains of shells. The well
was st (he time SS3 feet deep, with the
eiwingdown 210feet. The piogressmsde
through rock is slow, averaging shout
fire feet per day. Tuesday morning a
eein of water was struok which rose in
the piping about 150 feet. Tho foreman
in charge of the well has bi-u engaged
in borirg oil wells in Ibe North for twen
ty-four years, sud thoroughly under
stands ths business. The envog used in
this well is tbs largest used in Georgia,
being eight inches in diameter. A six-
inch cuing was used In the well at MQIen,
where a flow of 225 gnllnns per minute
was secured. The contractors expect to
secure for Amerioue the larges; flow of
water in Georgle, and by the way they
are going at it we think thoy will succeed.
As some of our readers may he Inter
ested in knowing tho manner of boring
these wells, we give the following de
scription : A largo iteel drill, having the
appearance of a child, is attached to
what is celled a "jar,” which ia simply
two large links working within each oth
er. The dri.l and jar weigh about 3,000
pound*. These arc attached to a "walk-
ing beam,” run by a powerful steam tn-
gine. The walking beam raises the rope
•bont three feet and then lets it drop the
seme distance, that giving an immense
foroc to the drill, as it descends end
strikes the earth or alone. When
sufficient quantity of earth or stone is
loosened by lbs drill, the drill is
withdrawn and a "sand pnmp" is let
down in the hole snd draws up the
loosened dirt or stone. The sand pnmp
is a long iron tube, conslructed some
what like the buckets used in the bored
wells in the country. The dirt is pre
vented from caving ia and small streams
of water cut off by means of iron casing.
The cuing used in Ibis well ia eight
inches in diameter snd comes in ten-foot
lengths. When one length is driven
down ia the hole made by the drill, an
other length is screwed on the one below
and thus all »r- driven down and con
nected, making a tolld iron tubing. The
suing is driven dawn by a heavy block
ot wood, whfeh is drawn np by the en-
Bine nmt twelve feet above the cuing
and then let drop upon it with grant
force, acting like nbogehammer or maul.
When going through rock the drill be
come* dulled and fans to be withdrawn
and sharpened, and for this purpose a
forge is kept by tka well, where it is best
ed, sharpened sad tempered. The work
is prosecuted day and night, and at tbs

From the Constitution wo gat the fol
lowing porticnlara of the trial of Willis
Hawkins in Anniston, Ala, last Wednes
day.
The preliminary trial of Willis A. Haw-
kina, Jr., for killing Western Hardy last
Friday, was concluded today before
Judge H. L. Jeffera. Several witnesses
were ezamined lor tho prosecution. The
defense only introduced one, but thoy
bad several in welting if they had been
necawary. Eloquent and ’ exhaustive
speeches were made by Messrs. Willot A
Feagin, counsel tor Hawkins, who u«od
went effort to conviooo tbe judgo that
the killing was justifiable, while Messrs.
Berney, Caldwell A Broyles for ike prose
cution left no alone unturned lo show
that the killing of Hardy uus murder,
pure and simple. Aftar adducing all tbe
testimnny, to* judge decided that, though
Hawkins killed Hardy, tbe testimony did
not nastain tba abarg* in the warrant,
which hod been for murder, though he
tbought it best to bind tba prisoner over
in Uia snot of one thousand dollars to ap
pear before tbe next term of Calkonn cir
cuit court.
Judge Hawkins, father of tbe prisoner,
immediately gave ths bund, ana ha and
his son left for home via Atlanta.

dseided upon. We have been before the
Central people and made onr little
specoliea, anil it remains to be seen what
will be done.”
T! o America* (lel-gdloo wo'o equally
ns reticent, noil tb« dinctor* of the Cen
tral who were vonnded by the reporter
were not disposed to give any information
ns lo tbe c. .ufen-tire of its results, or what
would probably be done.
In regard to the above, onr information
is that tbe Central directors said tint on
both roads proposed to lap the line ter
ritory, they could not agree to (quip but
one road, and tho mute of that road must
be deteimfned by the people of tbat sea
tion. Wo understand that a meeting of
the officers ot both roads will be bold at
an early day, and wc liavo no doubt that
an amicable arrangement will be made
to build tbe Americas, Preston and
Lumpkin rood. In the msantima tho
surveyors aro at w rk ontbe route
from Americns to Lumpkin, and will
complets the nurvey ill about ten days.
Some of onr people have an idea tbat
the contemplated railroad from Americns
lo Flint river will be of little or no bene
fit to Americns. Tho Montezuma people
do not scorn to slinru in this belief, and
seem to be .it tbe opinion that it will di
vert touch of tlie Dooly trade from Mon
ti zoom to Am. rlcus. They bare appoint
ed a committee tn confer with tbe Cen
tral authorities about tbe matter, and
talk of building u road from Montezuma
to Vienna, if tbiy can sceuro the aid of
tbe Centra].
The people of Hawkinsville are talking
a'mngly of building a railroad from that
place to l'erry, to connect with the Cen
tral. The distance is about twenty miles
and tbe coat aid ho nlionl $50,000. A
committed tins been in consultation with
President Itaoul, ami he hss agreed to
iron, equip and operate tbe road if tbe
people along tbe line will grade and cross,
tio it. This rosd would give Hawkins-
viltoa competing line to Macon and tbe
■raboard, and would be ai good an in
vestment as tbe people along that town

friends, and I replied yes. Ho then
asked me if he had not often called me a
lie, and I arid no, he had not; he said he
hod, end I then asked him if he meant to
call me a liar, and be said yea, that I was
a liar. I told him I would not take that,
Ho drew bin pistol, and I told him that

Cross-examined—I livo hern and run n

I did not hear him say thnt he had been
badly beaten ap and bad no friends in
Anniston. He was not cxeeeding seven
or eight feet from me at any time after ho

Hawkins I waa standing in tbe roslsu-
rant, and Hawkins wss coming up from
the direction of tho depot, and 1 first saw
him in front of my aaloon. In ihs fore
noon before Ihe killing, t saw Hawkins
in my pool room. Just is ho stepped
out of the door I hrard Hawkins say this
is not ihe lost of it He then went in
Ihe direction of bis room. Before leaving,
my brother came up and npologisod for
what had occurred in tbe billiard saloon
and Ila -'kins refused to accept it
Joseph E. Adderliold was sworn, snd
in substance said: I knew Western Har
dy. I wss aitting in front af my restaa-
rant and saw Hswkins below tbs billiard
saloon, and ths deceased standing in the
saloon door. Tbe deceased said be had
brazen a billiard caa orer Hawkins.
Awhile afterwards Hawkins returned to
my restaurant coming down the street
from the mill. Iiawkins was standing
In front of my restaurant telling Bush
and me and others about how ho had
been treated, when hit. Lon (A. C.) Har
dy came np and slapping his hands to-
ether, said, "Yes, and I would have
treated you the same way.” Hawkins |
then said, “Lon liavn't I called yon a lie
in fan?” when Hardy said no you barn t.
Hawkins said yes, I have, and Har.lv
said, do you mean lo dispute my word,
in i with that remark jerked ap a stool
aad endeavored to strike him with it, but
some one cangkt hold of it. The deccss.il
then ran np to Hawkins and struck him !
with his fist, staggering him back against i C ns.
the awning. Ah he recovered hiaisdf lie
fired at the deceased and I then caught
his pistol and told him not to shoot any
more. The deceased went in to my res
taurant, snd Hawkins went toward bix
room.
Cross examined—Mr. Hardy had the
chair drawn until Hawkins took down
hie pistol. When Hawkins earn* to the
restaurant he did not pens ths billiard
aaloon, but come in ths opposite direc
tion. Hswkins did nr-t draw his piste 1
until after the deceased had struck him,
end he drew It as be recovered from the
blow »nd immediately fired. Hawkins
did not s<y they nr* two —
and I am not afraid of both of them.
Hewkl-i did not call Lon Hardy * lie.
Mr. Darld Pitlard sworn, sod In sub-
stanro said: I was just inside Ihe billiard
saloon when the shooting took place,mar
tho door. I conlil not ecc any one except
those next to tbe outside of the pavement.
They wero Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Addor-
bold. Mr. Hawkins bad tbe pistol In bis
head and had fired, find Adderbold got
bold of the pistol and told him not to
fireagain. I wan not present st thedifl-
colly between tbe deceased end tbe pris
oner, and never beard the prisoner make
an; threats.
A. P. Bash sworn, and in substance
said: I was in tha restaurant and so was
Hawkins. He told me he bad been beet
ell up sod hod been badly treated in tbe
billiard saloon. About that time Lon
Hardy came np and (aid he woald hare
done the ssmo thing. Hawkins said Lon
I have called you a liar in lun, and so
have I called Bush • liar. Lon Hardy
said he hadn't, and asked if Hawkins
meant to dispate hi* word. Hawkins
said no, bat he had culled him a lie.
Hardy then tried to get np the stool, but
I tried to take it away from him. I than
hoard tbe pistol shut, but I did not seo
tbe deceesjd strike him, as my back was
to him. The 8iste closed..
The itefene* began by introducing Mr.
J. O. Marborer, who wee sworn, and in
sabstance said: 1 do not reside here, but
I was here lost Friday. I was In tbe
billiard room and heard Mr. IJawkine eall
the deceased a lie, when the deceased
said he would ant take that. Hawkins
said be only said it in fun, and the de
ceased still said he did not like to he eall-
ed a lie. Hawkins then said, well, yon
can take it as yon please, when tho de
ceased attack him twiee, breaking tbe
billiard one. In flftoan or twenty min
utes I saw Hawkins, Bush and Adderbold
talking in front of the restaurant. I
joined them and Hawkins was talking
sbont tha fight, when Lon Hardy stepped
up and said be would haro done the same
thing. [Mr. Marhover's testimony from
this on was about tbe same ns Mr. Adder-
hold's]
At the conclnsion of Mr. Marborer'*
testimo- y the defense closed and an
nounced that they did not uaro to in'ro-
duce any further testimony.
Arguments wero then made for tbo
State by Messrs. Berney and Caldwell,
and for the defense by Messrs. J. J. Wil-
lelsnd N. B. Fcsgan.
After Ih* argamsato bud been conclu
ded, Jndge Jeffera reviewed tbe testimo
ny and said the evidence would not
make out a coho of innrdor, nor did bo
think be ought to discharge him entirely
end therefore would admit him to ball
in tho Bum of one thousand dollars to
appear at tho An rust term of Calhoun
circuit court. Tbs bond was readily
given, and Uio prisoner dieehaiged. In
the nftoronon yonng Hawkins, accompa
nied by bia father, Colonel Willi* A.
Hawkin', took the Georgia I'aoifla train
for Atlanta.
It may not be amiss to asy that the
oommanity generally regret this occur
rence. They formed no conclusions un
til after tbe ovidence bed been beard;
among tbose who heard it we think a
majority thought the young men might
to have been discharged, while some
thought tho judge should bare done just
as be did.
