DEATH OF HENRY WILKES JONES.
Burke Loses an Old and Respected Citi
zen in His Deaths
As death comes to all, the com-
uiou fate of man has overtaken this
citizen, esteemed and honored by
all. Rapidiy dealli is approaching
(he last of those time honored old
people, who have contributed so
much in the past to make the citi
zeuship of Burke county rank with
the very best in Georgia. Henry
W. Jones was perhaps more thor
oughly identified with the past of
Burke than any man living co-
temporaneously with him.
This county was originally a part
of the thirteen colonies that made
up the United States. All of Geor
gia was not. Burke was in tlie
small area of land granted to Ogle
thorpe and the settlers that came
along in his time, which area com
prise! the old King George Parish
lying between the Savannah and
Ogeeehee rivers. Henry P. Jones,
the father of Henry Wilkes Jones,
inherited lands, enjoying the dis
tinction of a graut from the king t<
his family. This was a very large
body ot land, comprising thousands
of acres in that part of the parish,
which was subsequently incorpora
ted into the county of Burke after
the Revolutionary war that separat
ed the colonies from the king’s do
monion. In a lordly manner the
original Jones established himself
m this great plantation which de
scended from the great-grandfathei
down to the present generation,
four generations in all with the
present one. In part around this
place haye raged two great wars
ihe Revolutionary war and the
great Confederate conflict, but for
more than a hundred and twenty-
five years it has remained the prop
erty of this family. Henry W.
Jones inherited his share of the
land which is a large body, and oc
this place lie has resided all his long
life. So we see at once how thor
>ugh!y he is identified with the cit
izenship of this great old county.
He has always resided here and
perhaps never lived a month con
secutively out of it, He was in
tensely patriotic towards this sec
tion, the South, and his patriotism
began at his own home and militia
district. His kind, genial and
most friendly nature made him
popular without seeking it and hi
was universally respected and be
loved. Very retiring aDd modest
in his life, he sought no honors of
any kind. His home was his belov
ed castle and there it was the de
light of liis life to meet his friend?
no matter when or how many came
and, in the bosom of his alike hos
pitable family, enjoy the delights of
companionship. It was ihe study
of his life to be friendly and neigh
boriy. He lived within his own
erritory and was a striking exam
pie of tiie farmer of Burke, wh'
could exist sumptuously at homt
from the products of the soil, with
little business contact with the out
side world. He was a skilled farm
er and though it was difficult to
change after the war which so com
pletely altered the conditions in tht
South as regards labor, yet hi
found the way to adapt himself t(
the new circumstances and live
prosperously at home.
As remarked he sought no honors
greater than that of a true, good
and upright citizen. Indeed he did
uot think there was any higher
place than that, and lived his lift-
out with this view constantly before
him. It is true that for years hi
held the honorable place of magis
trate of his district but it was more
out of kindness, and to oblige hi?
neighbors than for any honors that
attached to this primitive office.
He was a man of remarkable fim
physique, as were all the members
of this family of H. P. Jones, four
sons and one daughter, that surviv
ed that distinguished parent, Mrs.
John T, Shewmake alone survives
who was the only sister, Henry
W. Jones, our deceased friend and
beloved citizen, attained to the ad
vanced age of 76years and His deatli
causes most universal regret. He
will be missed sorely from those
places where he was best known
Nothing speaks higher for t he char
acter of one than to be best loved
where best known; and he, free
from the shafts of malice or slander,
goes honored and loved by all to a
peaceful rest in the family burying
grounds on the old homestead.

“I bad a severe attack of bilious
colic, got a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Reme
dy, took two doses and was entire
ly cured,” says Rev. A. A. Powers,
of Emporia, Kan. “My neighbor
across the street was sick for over a
week, had two or three bottles of
medicine from the doctor. He used
them for three or four days without
relief, then called in another doctor
who treated him for some days and
gave him no relief, so discharged
him. I went over to see - him next
morning. He said his bowels were
in a terrible fix, that they had been
running off so long that it was al
most bloody flux. I asked him if he
had tried Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy aDd be
said, ‘No.’ I went home and
brought him my bottle and gave
him one dose; told him to take an
other dose in fifteen or twenty inm-
utes if he did not find relief, but he
took no more and was entirely cur
ed ” For sale by H.B.MCMaster.

ALMOST A RACE WAR.
Two White Men Killed and Another neri-
ously Wounded bj Negroes at Mobley.
The white citizens of the vicinity
of Mobley have been terribly
wrought up for several days, over
ihe murder of Bailiff Mears and Mr.
Fillmore Herrington and almost fa
tally wouuding of Capt. Jesse Wade
all of Screven county, last Saturday
aigbt while endeavoring to serve
a peace warrant on a neg r o by the
name of Steve Andrews. The par
ticulars leading up to the terrible
tragedy are about as follows:
While Mesars. Filmore Herring
ton aDd George W. Daniels were
returning borne from Stoney Bluff,
on the Savannah river, they mei
the negre Andrews in a narrow
place in the road, and when askeo
to turn out so that they could pass
refused to do so, making insulting
remarks. Whereupon Mr. Herring
ton i truck him with his whip and
the negro drove off making threat?
of revenge at the cost of his life
Being of a bad set of negroes, Mr
Herrington consulted with Capt
Wade, and was advised to take out
a peace warrant for the negro.
The warrant was sworn out and
plated in the hands of Bailiff Mil
ton Mears to serve. Messrs. Her
rington and Geo. Daniel and Cap
tain Jesse Wade accompanied the
bailiff to serve the warrant. Ar
riving at the negro’s house, ad
mittance was refused by the ne
gro’s father, at the same time t
number of shots were fired by par
ties concealed, killing Bailiff Mears
outright and Mr. Herrmgton, who
died after going a short distance
towards his buegy. Capt. Wadi
was shot down, but was saved by
vtr. Daniel’s getting him in his bug
gy and carrying him to his home
He was afterwards taken to thi
city hospital at Augusta, in a very
critical condition and where hi
is at this writing.
The bodies of Mears and Herring
ton were found Sunday 7 morning at
the scene, of the shooting, but had
oeen robbed of both money am
jewelry. Capt, Wade’s condition is
more favorable at the latest advices
from Augusta, and hopes are enter
tained for his recovery. The Cap
tain thinks his escape was miracu
ious as about fifty shots were firec
at them from ambush.
We take the following from tht
Augusta Herald of the 16th inst:
•‘Capt. Jesse Wade is rapidly im
proving at the city hospital.
He is to-day in receipt of informa
tion about the shooting. Among
this information is the following
letter:
“Hillis, Ga., August 14th, 1900.

ing well. I have succeeded m get

Early this year our Mr. Cashin
went East to place orders for fall
goods. He found the market so
high that he concluded not to place
his orders, but ordered samples
made up with a view of making
purchases later. The wisdom of
this courbe has been fully demon
strated. Mr. Cashin went East in
July and found a decided reduction
in prices. He secured goods at such
figures that we confidently affirm
we can sell you goods at prices that
other jobbers have paid for them.
For a proof of this assertion we re
spectfully invite you to call and ex
amine our goods and prices. Our
shoes’are all solid leather.

' —While at his gin houses Thurs
day last Mr. Jesse Green was over
come by heat. He was brought to
his home in Waynesboro as quickly
as possible and given medical at
tention. We are pleased to report
him much improved.
“Through the months of June and
July our baby was teething and
tfiok a running off of Ihe bowels and
sickoess of the stomach,” says O. P.
Hoiiiday, of D?miDg, Ind. His
bowels would move from five to
eight times a day. I had a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera aDd
Diarrhoea Remedy in the house and
gave four drops in a teaspoonful of
water and he got better at once.”

A SHOOTING NEAR GIRARD.
A Mr. Moody Fired on Mr. Joe Mallard
With a Shot Odd.
Bad feeling it seems has existed
for some time between Mr. Joe
Mallard and Mr. Walter Moody
o f the 6Sth district I t cul
minated last Saturday evening
in a shooting affair. The fact?
as we hear them are, that Mallard
while returning home from Girard
was attacked by Moody, who had
his gun with him. Mallard had no
weapons, and drove off from Moody
who fired on him when about forty
yards distant, putting several shots
in the back of Mallard’s buggy, and
one shot in the left arm, which pen
etrated his clothing, but did not
enter the flesh. Moody was arrest

The day of prosperity is at
last breaking upon the hard
working people ot Burke coun
ty. A medium crop with a good
price is the prospects for the
fall of 1900. Remembering the
old saying “Economy is the road
to wealth.” now is the time to
make every edge cut and save
all we possibly can and at the
sametime have all things need
ful to our happiness and comfort
There is only way to do it and
that is to get the best value for
the money no matter where
found. One cannot afford to
have the friendship ot any more
man when that friendship costs
time and money.
When one has met alt his
debts in an honest way no fur
ther obligation should be ex
pected of one since the profits
and accrued interest paid is am
ple remuneration for kindness
shown in business tranactions.
There should be no friends in
business; every transaction
should be measured by dollars
and cents and when friendship
is concerned it should be con
sidered as a personal and indi
vidual matter solely. To credit
a man for goods—as it is term
ed to make tickets—loses one’p
friends and money too very often
but almost every time one’s
friends are lose. For many
reasons then THE CASH CON
CERN avoids the credit system
and the reasons are as follows :
1st. We can sell goods cheap
and at the SRITie price to all, no
matter the condition ot the per
sons.
2d. If times get hard, we
have the goods to pay eur in
debtedness.
3d- It times are good we get
the money to pay tor our goods.
4th- We sleep well and save
our triends and our money both
together.
5th. No man or “set of
men” can dictate to us where
we, must buy our goods or at
what price we must sell them.
6th. If a person does not
want our goods at our price we
do not beg them or persuade
them to trade with us tor other
people need the same goods at
the same price.
The Cash Concern is now 7 in
a position to place the greatest
bargains for the fall betore the
people of Burke county that
they have ever heard of. Come
to see us it you only want see it
