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.

Have the cook dis charged from a cannon.”—Newark News. Waiting For a Market. “So you won’t sell that furni ture ?” 6aid the dealer. “No,” answered the householder. “I suppose you are going to hold it in the hope that it will command a fabulous value among antiquari ans.” “No, I don’t intend to wait that long. If the price of coal goes up at the present rate, my furniture will command fabulous prices as fuel.” He Won. Cholly (proudly)—By Jove, I’m quite a professor of swimming, don’t you know.

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.
