A Duel at Pine Bloom.

JIM SPENCE KILLED AND HIS ANTAG.
ONIST SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
A .shooting affray occurred at Plue
BloomWedneaday In which Jim Spence
wac killed alaioet instantly, and hi.
antagonist, a man by ths oume of
Smith, eeriooely. If not fatally wound
ed. Spence was shot In ths neck, and
Smith struck in the stomach several
times
It seems that tbev were talking
about a previous difficulty, and not
being able to come to terms, renewed
it and began firing at each other.
8pence was known In Waycross, har
ing resided here some years agd. He
was a cousin of Dr. J. M. Spence, the
candidate for represeotstire. Smith
wae employed by the Grey Lamber
Company at Pina Bloom.
Bel Smith Bqesell’t Career.
SoL Smith Bussell, the actor, who re
cently died, was born at Brunswick,
Md., June IS, 1848. He began hit
theatrical career by organising minstrel
companies among hie echocl-fellowa. In
the civil war, he was a drummer In the
Federal army. His first appearance on
the etage was si a negro girl In the
“Hidden Hand” at the Defiance theatre,
Cciro, III. For 86 per creek, be acted,
sang between sell and played the drum
in the orchestra. He wae offered 88 per
week by another manager, if be would
add elsck-wire walking to his accom
plishments. He tried, end came near
killing himself by a fall. He “went on
the road” by himself, his first perfor
mance netting 65 cent,. From 1874, bis
talents sa a comedian were recognised.
He played in one piece, “Edgewood
Folks” for five consecutive years, over
1,500 times, and sang seven songs and
made ten changes at each performance.
His laet part wae “Bob Acres” in “The
Hivals.” An ardent booklover, he leaves
a library of 6,000 valuable volumes.

the well-known etory writer.
Preeldent Contemplates a Trip Nentk.
- It la the understanding that Presi
dent Roosevelt contemplates making
an extended tour of tha south during
the autumn wowtbs, going probably as
far south aa New Orleans It is to be
hoped that the errsngementa will be
perfeet and that nothing will operate
to make him change hie mind. He
would be met with a generous and sin
cere welcome. After his visit to Char
leston he said he returned home "a
better American than erer before.” A
tour of thl south would still further
strengthen hie Americanism, since the
south today la the moot Ameriean sec
tion of tha country. The more the pres-
ident koowe of the south the better he
will llko It and tha country at large. ,

GEORGE F. GILBERT NOW ON TRIAL
ON THE CHARGE OF FELONY.
Thursday’s daily
A verdict of “Not Guilty" waa re
turned In the case of the State vs. W.
A. alias Doc. Howell, charged with
felony in the robbery of M. A O.
freight car No. 5613 in December last.
The jury were out on this eerie from
1:30 yesterday afternoon until a late
hour last night
The verdict as brought in was oot
unexpected, et it wae generally be
lieved yesterday that an acquittal
verdict would be returned.
There are still three Indictments
against Howell—two charging him
with felony, and tbe other with eeeeult
with intent to murder. Nelther^of
these cases will be tried at the present
term of court, but will be continued
until the next term. IP Is very prob
able that a reasonable bond will be
set against Howall, and he will be
able to secure bondsmen.
«e against G. F. Gilbert, who
is also charged with felony In the rob
bery of C. of Us. freight car No. 2017,
on February 17th last, was called at
8:30 o’olock this morning.
There was greater difficulty in se
curing competent jurors in this case
than was in the Howell case Tuesday.
Forty-eight jurors were examined be
fore twelve competent ones were
secured. The state has twelye or
fifteen witnesses to be examined In this
case, and the defense probably has
veveraL The state wlU endeavor to
prove In this case that Gilbert eatere J
C. of Ga. freight No. 2017 on the night
of February 1.7th and stole therefrom
certain overalls and “jumpers" which
were consigned to a Jacksonville firm.
The seals were not broken on this car
when it arrived and left Waycross, byt
the state will attempt to, proye that
the cars can be entered by en ex
perienced man, with tools,-without
breaking the seals. The overallj^and
“jumper*," which were*in Gilbert’s
possession the night he wae arrested,
are in evidence in the court'room.
The same counsel for both sides that
were on tbe Howell case, are retained
on the Gilbert case— Meeere. Toomer A
Reynolds abd L. A. Wilson for the
defense, and Solicitor John W.
Bennett, W > E. Kay, John C, McDonald
and & W. Hitch for the state,
It is expected that moat of tomorrow
will be consumed ip disposing of the
arched bovver of vines and while rose»,
white fur .*ugs covere1 the lloor.
Promptly ut the appointed time, u peal
of music announced the arrival of the
bridal nartv. The bridesmaids, six
number, entered from a door near the
pulpit and walked to meet tbe bride at
the opposite entrance. There they
were joined by the groomsmen and
preceded by the ushers, returned in
couples down the two sisley. and pass

rying the ring on a tiny eilver tray.
The bride came with her father and
was met under the arch by the groom,
who entered from a aide door with bis
