fRAZIER GIVES HIMSELF UP savannah and Montgomery.
slayer OF CHARLES FULLER IS
RELEASED
from Custody as No Warrant Was
Issued For His Detention.-Said
That Shooting of Fuller Was
in Self Defense-
I >ink Frazier, who shot and instant
ly killed Charles Fuller, a colored farm
Land, at his home near Friendship on
Wednesday night Inst, came to Ameri
cas Monday morning and surrender-
el himself to Sheriff McArthur.
However, Mr. Frazier was not want
ed, and his arrest wbb formal only.
Sheriff McArthur took charge of his
prisoner before C a. m., but for some
cause no one appeared as prosecutor
nud no warrant for Frazier's arrest had
ever been issued. Solicitor-General
Hooper is at Dooly court and none of
the relatives of the dead negro seemed
disposed to appear in the role of prose
cutor. Sheriff McArthur held Mr.
Frazier until 1:30 p. m. and then re
leased him.
He had held the man a prisoner for n
reasonable length of time, and
prosecutor appearing the sheriff had no
alternative.
Mr. Frazier at once started to the
Central depot to take the train for
Dothan, Ala., where his wife is stop
ping with relatives. After Frazier had
beeu gone some time the mother of
Charles Fuller, the negro killed, again
hunted up Suer iff McArthur and told
him she had "changed her mind,” and
would prosecute Frazier. At this
Sheriff McArthur went to the Central
depot in a dead run and found Frazier
about to board the train for Dothan.
Cpon being toid what the Fuller wo
man wanted Mr. Frazier again sub
mitted to arrest and readily accompa
nied the sheriff back to town. But in
the meantime the prosecutor had again
"changed her mind" and positively re
fused to swear out a warrant for he
son’s slayer.
The prisoner was released a second
time and again wont his way. He told
Sheriff' McArthur, however, that he
could be found at work on his farm
whenever wanted, if wanted at all, and
would willingly come in if any investi
gation of the killing was ordered. It
is understood that Mr. Frazier claims
that he shot Fuller in self-defense.

COTTON PICKERS IN DEMAND.
Farmers Will Rush Work if Weather

will be picked out this week if the
weather remains good. Scores of
country wagons came in early yester
day morning, aud tho festive town
darkies were hauled out by the hun
dred to pick cotton ou the plantations.
As a rule, farmers are discouraged at
the outlook, as tho continued rainy
spell caused a large amouut of cotton
to rot in the Held while that brought
in soils for a price that scarcely covers
the cost of production. The crop in
this section will be very much smaller
thau was expected even a month ago.
