Negro Shot in Attack on
White Man.
Jim Montgomery is Shot
By Charles Wilder on
a Farm Near City.
With his Jugular vein pierced by
38-calibre pistol bullet, Jim Montgom
ery, a negro farm hand, was rushed
to Americus Friday by Dr. D.
Mayes for surgical attention after
first aid had been rendered In Die
country, where the shooting oenurre
Montgomery was shot by Mr.
Charles Wilder, it is said, after the
latter had been struck down by ttu
negro, who continued his attack upon
him with a knife.
Young Wilder Bred only one shot
whllo thug held down, but it struck
a vital spot
Dr. Mayes, who came by in his car
about the time of the shooting, brought
the badly wounded negro to bis offlee
hero, where with other physicians, ail
needed attention was given him. The
negro was very weak, quite naturally,
as the wound bled profusely.
Several hoi s «’ ercafter he was car
ried home a wagon.
Statements made of the affair are
to the effect that young Wilder, who
resides on the farm of his fa '.o
Mr. J. A. J. Wilder, three or fit
miles west of Americus, met the ne
gro and r-urlmanded Mm for coming
so late to work every day this wee*.
Montgomery, it Is said, replied Inso
lently and cursed young Wilder, a fist
fight resulting.
Whllo the two struggled upon the
ground, it is said that Montgomery
drew his knife and slashed Mr. Wil .cr
on the hand, whereupon he pulled his
pistol and fired once, while still do
ing held down. Blood gushed from
the wound and the negro staggered
away.
Mr. Wilder came at once to the city
and reported to Sheriff Feagln, but
no arrest Is deemed necessary. He Is
about eighteen years of age. Mont
gomery Is much older anJ very pow
crful in strength.

Neat Pick-up By a Sumter
Farmer.

Into cold cash on ten minutes notice.
This particular farmer, remarkable as
it may appear, was not a believer in
good roads, and kicked strenuously
when asked to give a narrow strip
from tt«e outir edge of bis farm for
the new road, when It was built there.
And here Is the cream of the story.
Up to that good hour he had offer
ed his farm of three hundred acres
for 230 an acre, but did not find a
purchaser. Thirty days ago the road
—a good road—was built upon the
edge of his farm, and at not th<e cost
of a penny to him. A few days ago
he refused an offer of |40 per ac c
for the same farm which he could not
sell for 930 six months ago, an ad
vance of $10 per acre In value, or a
total gain of $3,000. Perhaps he
looks with greater favor upon goad
roade—or at least he should.
