FRIEND KILLS FRIEND.
Walter Bailey Kills J. W. Wil
son Out in Colorado.
After a friendship beginning al
most at the cradle and lasting fox
thirty years, J. W. Wilson lies in
his grave and Walter H. Bailey
is under arrest, charged with be
ing his murderer.
The two men were raised in this
county, near Culloden, and sever
al years ago went out to Colorado
to secure employment in the mines.
In Georgia they were the best of
friends. In the fur western state
where they had gone to work their
friendship continued unbroken
almost up to the duy of the deadly
duel between them.
Few sadder stories have ever
been told than the ending of a
life-time friendship at the grave
of one of the friends.
In some way that perhaps will
j never be known, a misunderstand
ing arose between the two men.
Bailey was a foreman in theMin
| equa, Colorado, steel plant. He
had been with this company for
three and a half years, and was
very popular with them and was
well spoken of by all who knew
him. In his home was a devoted
wife and a little girl of six years.
Wilson was several years young
er than Bailey, and unmarried.
He was a watchman in the works,
very popular with his associates
and trusted by his employers.
The misunderstanding arose
over the report that Wilson had
told one Persons, a friend of Bai
ley, that Bailey had made some
remarks very detrimental to the
character of Persons.
When asked about this, Bailey
denied the story. Wilson stuck
to his statement. The two men,
Bailey and Wilon are said to have
made threats against each other.
Bailey sent word to Wilson that
if the latter would meet him at
the stand pipe after supper they
would then and there settle their
j difficulty. Wilson agreed. Each
man carried along several of his
! friends to see fair play. Not one
of these friends, not Bailev him
j self, he says, expected anything
i more than a fistic encounter to
I settle the matter.
But anger overleaped the bounds
of reason. Each man had come
prepared for the worst if the
worst should c o m e.
The men saw each other, hotly de
nounced each other, drew their
pistols simultaneously. Bailey
was the quicker, and shot Wilson.
The latter ran about one hundred
yards and fell dead.
And now one friend sleeps in
his grave while the friend who
took his life mourns in agony and
would gladly give his all if by so
doing he could call the dead back
to life.
The dead man was a sou of Mr.
Peter Wilson, of Russellville.
I . .
Mr. Wilson was in Forsyth Mon
day, and he and his wife are great
] ly affected by the sad tragedy.
Mr. Wi’son has. a letter from
the sheriff of Pueblo, Colorado,
in which the sheriff expresses his
belief that the killing of Wilson
was a cold-blooded murder, and
asks the elder Wilson to employ
council to assist the prosecuting
; attorney in pushing the case
against Bailey.—Monroe Adver
tiser.

Bacon—Did you ever see one of

Church —I see anthracite parties

“No,” answered the householder.

“No, I don’t intend to wait that

at the present rate, my furniture
will command fabulous prices as

COST OF OCEAN SPEEDING.
Much has been said of late re*
garding the speed of the German
Atlantic greyhounds. Not enough,
perhaps, has been said regarding the
cost of this speed. The latest crea
tion of the North German Lloyd,
Kaiser Wilhelm 11., is designed to
do twenty-four knots an hour at an
expenditure of 40,000 indicated
horsepower. Our White Star liner
Cedric, the largest ship in the world,
will go seventeen knots with 14,000
horsepower. But, says the Shipping
World, the Kaiser Wilhelm will
burn 750 tons of coal per day, which
is 190 per cent more than the Ce
dric, and she will need 250 more
hands to work her. Curiously
enough, of her crew of GOO only for
ty-five will be ordinary sailors, the
remainder being mechanics of vari
ous orders. —London Telegraph.
Carnegie’s London Palace.
Andrew Carnegie is to become
one of the nabobs of Park lane, the
most fashionable and high priced
street in London. He has purchased
from the young Duke of Westmin-
I ster a plot of ground in South
; street, leading into Park lane, just
beyond the handsome house of <7. P.
Morgan, Jr. Jt is said the house
will be as much like Mr. Carnegie’s
great mansion in Fifth avenue, in
New York, as it is possible for a
London house to he and that the
cost will be something like $5,000,-
000. Mr. Carnegie will have for his
immediate neighbors Lord Brassey,
the dowager Countess of Bosslyn,
j Lady Henry Somerset, Alfred Beit,
I the richest man in England, and Mr.
Eckstein and J. B. Robinson, two
other South African millionaires.
Utilizing a Turtle.
Tradition says that the queen of
Sheba asked Solomon to thread an
intricately pierced stone and that he
did so by means of a hair tied to a
living worm. A long sewer in an
Ohio factory recently became clog
ged, and a son of Solomon came to
the rescue. Tying a long ball of
twine to the shell of a mud turtle,
he put the animal into the entrance
of the sewer and turned on a stream
of water. The turtle burrowed his
way through the refuse, was “wa
tered on” at each manhole and
emerged victorious at the outlet. A
rope attached to the twine, a swab
and strong arms accomplished the
rest swiftly and economically.
Ballooning For Consumption.
Ballooning is now receiving at
tention as a possible remedy for pul
monary affections. The conditions
are not the same as those of moun
taineering, the change of altitude
being more rapid and muscular fa
tigue being absent.. In the trips of
the French Society of Physiology
Dr. Henocque proposes to regard
the atmosphere as divided into three
zones. Up to about three
surrounding air supplies all the oxy
gen needed, but ascents beyond five
miles are held to require a closed
ear, as was first suggested in 1871,
or an aerial diving suit.

How to Get Into Touch With Nature.
M. Maeterlinck has discovered
that the only way to get into touch
with nature is to travel at full speed
in a motor car, for by this means
only do you get into “intimate rela
tions with rivers, fields and trees.”
One can imagine M. Maeterlinck as
the contact with the tree trunk or
brook became imminent repeating
the old exclamation of the falling
steeplejack. Only M. Maeterlinck
would say, “Now for the intimate
relation.” It is a prettier phrase
than “the blooming bump.”—Lon
don Globe.
