WHEATLEY In last Friday’s Issue of The Times- Recobder mention was made of the shooting scrape indulged in near Mr. Nell Raj’s plantation at Stewart’s Cross ing by negroes, resulting in the wound ing of one of the participants. The wounded man died Wednesday morning. From all that can be learned it seems that John Fulton and Freeman Partee, while playing cards last Thursday, be came involved in a difficulty, which was soon settled amicably, and they separa ted with apparent good-will towards each other. Rut a woman, who has con trol over Partee, and who probably had some private spite against Fulton, per suaded the former that he had not been treated fairly and that should take revenge. Partee foolishly allowing himself to he influenced by the designing woman, went to Fulton’s house about 8 o'clock in the evening, and calling him to his door, shot him. The pistol used was a 38-calibre and in dicted a a terrible wound. Fulton lin gered until yesterday morning and thon died from the effects of his hurt. Partee was arrested immediately after the shooting and lodged in jail in this city, where he now awaits the action of the grand jury in his case. The coroner’s jury, after an inquest held over the body yesterday afternoon, returned a verdict of “willful murder. Mrs. M. T.

Only six miles more of track to be laid and the Savannah, Americus Montgomery road will be complete.

Capt. Hardaway, the contractor, has two crews of hands and keeps his pile drivers going night and day, and with ordinary good luck hopes to drive the last spike in jthirty days.

Death of Mr. •!. T. Person*. Last Tuesday morning at 2 o’clock, at Drancvillc, death relieved the sulferings of Mr. J. T. Persons, who has for the last three months endured the most ex cruciating agonies from scrofula and paralysis, being paralyzed from bis hips down. All medical aid was of no avail. Mr. Persons leaves a devoted wife and soven children to mourn tbeir loss. The great Dr. Boerbaave left tbree directions tor preserving the health—keep the feet warm, the head cool, and the bowels open. Had he practiced in our day he might have added: and purify the blood with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, for he certainly would con sider It the best. The well that is being bored at Wheel ing, W.

Have you humors causing blotches? Does your blood run thick and sluggish? Are you drowsy, dull and languid? Is u hnu litste In your mouth, aud Is your tongue nil furred and coated? Is your sleep with bail dreams broken? I)o you feel downhearted, dismal. Dreading something, what, you know not Then be ,ery sure you’re bilious— That you have a torpid ilvor. and what you need is something to rouse It and make it active enough to throw off the impurities that clog it; something to invigorate the debilitated system, and help all tlie organs to perform the duties expected of thorn, promptly and energet ically. That “somotliing” is Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, the great Blood Purifier, which its proprietors have such faitli in that they guarantee it to euro. If it docs not, your money will bo refunded. But it will. Buy it, try it, and bo convinced of its wonderful power. If the proof of tho pudding is in tlie eating, the proof of tills remedy is in the taking. If every man would try to reform him self less effort would be required in re forming others. Ayer’s Pills, beiug convenient, effica cious, and safe, are tlio host cathartic, whether on land or sea, in city or coun try. For constipation, sick headache, Indigestion and torpid liver they never fail. Try a box of them. Capt. T. D. Johnson.

After taking three bottlos in accordance witii directions I am now entirely cured. J. D. Johnston, Of tlio liim of Johnson & Douglass, oct.20,d2t,w2t Savannah, Ga, Ati.anta, October 21 —The governor has decided tlie fate of tlie school bill. lie vetoed it this morning, and the veto sets out his reasons, they being that tlie law would cripplo tlie public schools in its present shape. This leaves the present public school law in force. Tho Whitfield Insurance bill is a law, made so to-day by the governor putting Ids name to it. This disposes of tlie two matters which have been hanging tire for some time. Tlie bill to put tlie express and tele graph companies under tlie railroad com mission is still under advisement. At torney-General Little lias the bill and will this afternoon give the governor an opinion as to its constitutionality. An order was passed closing tlio exec utive and other state departments dur ing the unveiling of the Grady monu ment. This being tiie last day for the gov ernor to sign hills, ho will be engaged until midnight in the task of examining them. Those bills not signed by midnight will be vetoed by operation of law, the live days allowed tlie governor to sign bills having expired. Interesting Relics. Mr. J. J. Brown of Schley county has in his possession a coin interesting to antiquarians by reason of its great age. It is a Spanisli dollar and bears upon its face tho date 1773, and the bust of Charles III. Tlie piece of monoy was coined about the period of Spain’s com mencement of decline from her high and powerful position among tlie nations of the world, and even then, while not in the zenith of her strength, as in the days of Columbus and Hernando Cortez, she wielded a vast iniluence throughout civilization and governed an immense territory. Slow and gradual, but none the less sure, has been the decline of the once proud and arrogant Castilian kingdom, until to-day, through internal strife and a series of bad monarclis, it has fallen to an insignitiesnt place among tho world’s great nations. Mr. Brown has also another relic of oven more absorbing interest to the American patriot, an old riHe that was carried by ids grandfather, Mr. Thos. Parker, during tne war of 1812, and used by him at the celebrated battle of Now Orleans in January, 1815. A person wounded must die within a year and a day to make the person in dicting tlie wound guilty of murder. P. P. P. Saves Life. SAYS WILL LIVE FOREVER. A prominent Savannahiar, formerly superintendent of a railroad says: “I was crippled in my foot anJ arms so that I could not walk without crutches, nor eat without having a servant to feed me. I tried physicians everywhere, but to no purpose, and Anally wont to New York, where my doctors, nt ono time, decided to amputate my arm, but found that course impracticable on account of a wound I had received during the war. I returned to Savannah a complete wreck, and my case seemingly liopoiess. As a forlorn hope I began to take P. P. P., and am rejoiced to say that after using three bottles my limbs began to straighten out, my appetite aod health soon returned, and I now feel like a new man; really, as if I had been made over again, and as if I could live forevor—so long as i can got I’.
