A NEGRO shot and And Thrown from an Excursion Train. An Augusta killled , ... , . negro was in a " . Saturday , night, . . mystenous manner or. more properly speaking, Sunday morn i!l g West Camphor, this voting fellow, was well known throughout Augusta. , , lie rT was employed at the theatre as a “flyman” and had a good reputation. r lie drew his money and left on the excursion at midnight for Atlanta on Saturday*. West was drinking and was intoxica¬ ted before the train had gone far. Just beyond Union Point, near the seveuty rive mile post, some one shot the negro through the head and threw him from the train. Had the bullet wound not been fatal the fall from the flying train would probably have killed him. The coroner’s jury convened on the ease Monday and found that “Cam¬ phor had died from tiie effects of a gunshot wound inflicted by parties unknown.” Supreme Court Decision. The following decision was rendered by the Supreme Court of Georgia on Monday, April 27 1896: Swain vs. Stewart. Before Judge Reese. Taliaferro Superior Court. Simmons, C. J.—1. The marriage of a widow after the death of her hus¬ band does not deprive her of ihe right to a year’s support out of his estate, nor prevent her making an application for a year’s support for the benelit of herself and a minor child of the de¬ ceased. 2. Where a year’s support consisting in part of land was set apart for the benefit of a mother and her minor child, it was, according to the doctrine laid down by this court in previous de¬ cisions, the right of the mother to sell aud convey such land in fee simple for the purpose of deriving from the pro¬ ceeds a support for herself and the child; aud this right was not affected by the fact that the mother had mar¬ ried again. 3. Where in such case the mother was colined in jail under a sentence for a misdemeanor, and sold the land embraced in the year’s support partly to raise money to pay a Hue so as to obtain her discharge from custody and partly in consideration of supplies fur¬ nished for herself and the child, the sale was lawful and passed a good title to the purchaser. 4. The court erred in rejecting evi¬ dence lending to show that the sale was made under the circumstances and for the purposes above recited. Judg¬ ment reversed. J. F. Reed and Samuel IL Sibley, for plaintiff in error; H. M. Iloldeu, contra. * Walton’s A negro man on Mr. L. J. place in Morgan county, this state, was HUed by lightning on Thursday of last week.

It is a double call', which . has . bceu mounted , , by . Mr. ,, \\ the lrz, taxidermist. It was born in Columbia county and was purchased by Mr. W. 1. Wilson. It has two heads, two tails, two spines, two hearts, two pairs of lungs, two stomachs—in fact, it is double in every way except the body and legs. Ii is a curiosity well worth seeing. On its back, over the shoulders, is a bony bump, bill just what nature intended this for is not known. A Model 1*1 at form. Editor Craig, of the Gainesville Eagle formulates the following model platform, which no doubt eveiy can¬ didate in Georgia can stand on: Whereas the toiling masses and sev¬ eral others are actually suffering lot want of something to stand on and Whereas it is a good thing for a man to have something to stand on when he is suffering; and Whereas when a man comes to he hung he realizes this fact very pain¬ fully; and Whereas it is the duty ol every man to alleviate suffering, especially when suffering is caused by the absence of something to stand on; therefore Be it resolved, That we make a plat¬ form, and those who wish to stand on it can get on, and those who don’t can stand on their heads: Plank the oneth. That every man shall do as he pleases; provided, how¬ ever he pleases to do as other folks Waul «.>(• Jn. ’ ’• Plank the tooth. That every man shall vote as often as he pleases: pro¬ vided, however, he keeps within the law. Plank the tlireoth. That every one shall have all the money he wants; provided, however, lie gives fair value in exchange. Plank the fourth. That every man shall have the right to larrup his own jackass and keep a dog. Plank the fiveth. That living on burnt wood and branch water shall not disqualify a man for matrimony. Plank the sixth. That a hit dog may holler all he wants to; provided, how¬ ever, he is holler on the inside. Plank the seventh. That the women j shall not wear balloon sleeves until j they put weights in their pockets to keep them from joining the angelsjand those who have no weights can wait till they get some. Plank the eighth. That we are all right on the silver question; provided, however, that riot more than one con¬ struction may be put on this plank. Plank the ninth. That we are on the tariff, Ditto is a good thing to be. Blank the tenth. That old maids shall be allowed to wear orange blos¬ soms on all occasions when it is fash¬ ionable to do so. ♦ ♦- -•—--- A petrified baby has been found in the Ocmulgee river, near Macon. Two negro hoys were drowned in Augusta on Tuesday of this week, one in the river and the other in the canal. Here is what the Meldrim Guidon, a Democratic paper published in this State, has to say in regard to the situa¬ tion : No man has yet been found hold enough to say that the Populists have lost any oi their strength. They may not have gained, but they have not lost. It is boldly charged that they will fuse wiih the republicans, as was done with such marked success in North Carolina. Do not be deceived. Suppose tiiis fusion takes place. A large amount of money has already bcc-n spent in this State, by the maria gers of Morton, McKinley,and possibly of other republican candidates. lo disintegrate the democratic strength in Georgia would be the best, of politics, It can be done with tact and money, if the two wings of the party do not unite.
