The negro was not hit, hut I'nder the skillful and intelligent ho was seared very thoroughly. Mr. Stephens fired the shots, I understand, in return for a curse which the negro had just bestowed him. Mr. J. S. Pate, the popular vice-presi dent of the First National Bank, has re ceived the plans for his new residence. It is to be one of the handsomest resi dences in South Georgia, and decidedly the prettiest and most convenient in Cordele. He will begin work on it iin mediately. Protracted services have been held at the Methodist church this week. The pastor, Itev. Orson Branch, is assisted in the meeting by his father, Uev. James O. Branch, D. I)., the presiding elder of this district. Considerable interest is manifested in the meeting. Local taleut presented the “Exposure of the Ancient Order of Hercules’’ at the opera house Wednesday night, un der the auspices of the Knights of Pyth ias. There was a very fair attendance, and the play was well produced. It was a ludicrous farce throughout, and the audience was frequently convulsed with laughter. The First National Bank received its authority, by telegraph, from the comp troller of the currency to begin business yesterday afternoon, and its doors were immediately thrown open. Cashier Joseph E. Bivins looks serenely happy as I10 handles the cash in the new bank and smiles across the counter at his friends. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE.

Kor the past two weeks Cordelcans lur e been kept cool with ice manufact ured bv the Cordele Ice Works, which are turning out about ten tons daily. Past experiences of towns without ice work- have demonstrated the fact that when other towns are depended upon to supply ice they usually get left occa sionally. We are informed that Mr. George A. Karl of Americus, has been awarded the contract for putting sewers in this city. Mr. Crotts of Montgomery, assisted him in making surveys and maps which were completed last week. The water mains are being extended also. Few larger planes can boast of better water works or a greater supply of good spring water than Cordele.

The perpetrator of this crime is yet unknown, but sus picion strongly points towards Bill j Smith, another negro, who it is rumored | threatened Saffold’s life on account of a j And AN ORGANIZED STEAL. A petition is being industriously cir culated by the anti-prohibitionists to get the Ordinary of this county, where lo cal option exists, to order an election on the prohibition question. The advo cates of whisky are displaying a good deal of enthusiasm in their undertaking. In arguing their claims they say that as much or more liquor is being drunk now than if it were sold here, and that the town ought to reap the benefit of a tax on it. Some go so far as to say the town cannot exist without it. On the other hand, the prohibitionists deny these statements, and remind them of the fact that no town in Georgia where liquor was sold has ever grown ami prospered as Cordelo has without it, Atlanta, April 20.—[Special.]—Tom Delks is being held by the police, ac cused of stealing and selling a church organ. The instrument was missed from the Rockwell Hoad church, near here, two months ago, and was recovered from a church at Duluth where it had been sold for thirty dollars. Delks has long been in hiding in the suburbs, dressed in women’s clothes. Last evening the oflicers located him, and dragged him out from under a bed, where, after stripping off the borrowed apparol, he had taken refuge. Home, April 10.—In the chamber of deputies to-day, the Marquis Di Kudini, the Italian premier and minister for for eign affairs, replied to the question as to what action that government would take in view of the note of the American sec retary of state, Mr. Blaine, addressed to Marquis Impelialli. Marquis I)i Kudini said that the Ital ian government would decline to admit the irresponsibility of the United States toward single states composing the Amciican Union. “The question at issuo in the present controversy was one which interested every civilized government in the world as well as it does that of Italy ’’ Contimiing, the premier said that the Italian government had no fear of polit ical difficulties, but it was filled with re gret that so highly a civilized country as the United States should fail in ful fillment of its duties to the cause of jus tice and morality. Cheers greeted the conclusion of the premier’s explanation. The Baltimore NunKmlorite* Blaine’* Let ter. Washington, April 10.—The Balti more Sun’s Washington correspondence this morning says of yesterday’s contri bution by Secretary Blaine to the litera ture on the subject of the Italian inci dent: The last note of Mr. Blaine in the Italian matter cannot give much satis faction to Marquis Kudini, but it never theless is based on impregnable ground, and no amount of pouting or fretting can alter the circumstances of the case nor the obligations of this government. “This note 0/ Mr. Blaine's repeats in principle and precedent what has been foreshadowed in the Sun from the very first of the affair. There could bo no other position for this government to take. “The Italian government must wait for the due process of the law, and as Mr. Blaine quite clearly intimates, the law will scarcely bring any redress. Mr. Blaine gave this last note earlier than he had anticipated, for he had wished to in clude many other points. “If the Italian government is not con tent to take a rest, he has plenty more material to fire at It.” Something of Importance for Any of that Name.

He reports the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery as having done a fine busi ness during the winter, and although the dull season is about to begin, he does not think the road’s tiaflio will be much decreaseJ, as it passes through a fine farming section, and will do a big traffic in truck during the summer. The recent freeze, Mr. Goodman said, had no appreciable effect on tlio crops, and everything along the line is in excellent condition, particularly potatoes. The melon crop, ho thinks, will be unusually large this season, and the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery will handle a big portion of it. When asked as to the possibility of his road being built Into Savannah, Mr. Goodman could give no positive information, altliDugh he said he thought it would bo done some time, and lie hoped soon, as it would be a great advantage.” SCALDED TO DEATH A Ter Iblo Wreck on the Alabama Great Southern.
