A DESPERATE FIGHT.
A NEGRO KILLED AND A POLICE.
MAN WOUNDED.
A l«m luanln Wind* Up With *
Bloody shooting Scrap# at
Brunswick.
Special by Mews Telegram Association.
Brunswick, G»., June 33.—A
bloody and exciting shooting affair
occurred here to-night, resulting
from the boisterous conduct of
drunken negroes.
Fourteen cars loaded with negro
excursionist* from Thomasville ar
rived here to-day. They spent the
afternoon roving over the city, the
majority of them drinking heavily.
When they gathered at the depotto
return home to-night, a row was
raised because the car doors were
not opened soon enough to suit
them. Policemen Bob Burney and
Tom Horton went aboard the cars
to arrest a drunken negro, one
Spencer Grant, who drew
32-callbre Smith and Wesson
pistol and fired at Horton. The
ball passed through Burney’s face
and struck a negro named Tom Ar
old on the foot. Policemen Lamb,
Baily and others here arrived, and
after a desperate fight succeeded in
getting the wild negro from the
train, and he is now in jail. The
wounded are in Burrie's drug store,
where physicians are attending to
their injuries.
Great excitement prevails, and If
the negroes attempt to take Grant
from jail, as is feared, another
bloody fight will result Every pre
caution is being used to prevent it,
but if the worst comes to the worst,
the policemen, with all possible as
sistance, will do their full duty.

ArM'-r.i, June 20.—TheTwlggs-
Watsou paper bullets war has
caused considerable excitement
here.
The Evening News to-day pub
lished the correspondence between
the two gentlemen in full, which
briefly is as follows :
Judge Twiggs, in a speech at
Waynesboro last week, madt allu
slons to that gentleman. H* wrote
a card In reply, which was publish
ed In yesterday’s Constitution.
Judge Twiggs wrote a note to Mr.
Watson, demanding a retraction.
Mr. Watson replied, saying that
when the Judge retraoted what he
said in his speech he would do the
same. This brought on more cor
respondence, during which Mr.
Wateon made It plain that he did
not believe in duelling. Whether
from fear or principle, he left Judge
Twiggs to infer.
Both parties refuse to retract or
apologize. The final note of Twiggs
dismisses Watson with contempt,
and assures him he will not make a
street fight of It.
Watson spoke in Jefferson county
to-day, and everybody now believes
the fight off.

whioh will be adopted by a confer

Washington, June 28.—Repre'
tentative Candler has returned
from his visit home, and give* some
interesting opinions upon the polltl
cal outlook in Georgia. He says
it appears that Northen la bound to
defeat Hardeman for Governor,
Barnes has a better chance for re-
nomination for Congress, since
his rival, Watson, refused to ac
eept the challenge from Judge
Twiggs. Livingston, the Alliance
candidate in the Atlanta district, is
giving Stewart a hard raoe,
and Grimes will walk away with
Harris in the Fourth. In his own
district it Is impossible to give
correct idea of the situation.
He thinks it ia safe to any that
Denning will get the Augusta post-
office, and that the papers will go
to the white house within the next
twenty-four hours. Boyce is com'
Ing to Washington, bnt he will find
that he is too late.
Buck has taken a hand in the
Thomasville poatofllce situation
but Smith will be retained. A pe
tition from one hundred citizens
says the service is the best they
have ever had. Buok has not yet
announced who he will recommend
for the Americus posfofiloe, but will
do so in a few days.
The House voted on the silver
bill at 8 o’clock this afternoon. It
was lost by a vote of 182 to 186. The
close majority resulted from the
Eastern Democrats voting with the
Republicans and the Western Re
publicans voting with the Demo
crats, but free coinage is effctually
killed.
The national election law bill was
taken up and a vote will be bad
next Wednesday at 2 o’clock.
Nothing has been heard of Julian
Harris, the son of Joel Chandler
Harris, who was expected here
Monday. His people are very un
easy and every possible effort Is be
lug made to find him.

tific Investigation of the “peach
yellows” and blight. His report is
expected to be of great benefit to
Both Better and Cheaper.
The Royal Baking Powder, as an actual fact, is the most
economical in use of any made, because of its greatly supe
rior, strength.
Both the United States and Canadian Governments in the
reports of their investigation of baking powders have pub
lished this fact officially.
The other baking powders known in this vicinity are shown
by chemical tests to contain from 20 to 80 per cent less
leavening-gas than the Royal. So the Royal, even should it
cost more than the others, would be much the cheaper.
In addition to this the superior flavor, sweetness, whole
someness and delicacy of the food raised by Royal Baking
Powder would make any difference in cost insignificant.
When the Royal makes finer and more wholesome food
at a less cost, which every housekeeper familiar with it will
affirm, why not discard altogether the old-fashioned methods
of soda and sour milk, or home-made mixture of cream of
tartar and soda, and use it exclusively ?
