Mr. Maurice Tin ley, a quiet and

67th district of this county, had an
Altercation with a negro man by
tbe name of Tony Garvin, alia?
Hall, Monday last and was forceo
to shoot him. from the effects of
which ha died Tuesday evening.
The negro is an ex-convict, and is
said to have been a desperate ano
’urbulent character, and constables
were endeavoring to arrest him on
barge of assault will intent to
murder his wife and another worn-
in.
Coroner Wetherhahn was sum
oaoned and held an inquest over thi
negro’s remains Tuesday night.
Following is the ev'dence brought
iut at the coroner’s investigation :
Tinlej’s Statement.
- “Myself and this negro disagreed
tbout his duty in feeding my stock
He promised to come on Sunda\
tnd hitch up my hors*-s and atteno
o my stock all day. Sunday morn
mg I was up early, but Toney dio
mt show up. I then called John
Gibson to feed and attend to mj
hock until I came back. I pain
lim twenty cents, a3 is my rule,
vlonday morning I ashed aftei
Tonej, and John replied he did noi
tee him all yesterday, and Tonej
vas still absent. I rang my hell,
md Toney came in about twentj
ninutes afterwards. He appearer
-rery mad from some cause. I tolo
Hm to take the mules and haul
tome straw. I then went to break
ast. When I came out again Tonej
isked: ‘Captain, are you goinp
o charge me for not coming to feeo
Yesterday ?’ I said yes. I pair;
John twenty cents just now, and
You will have it to pay. He said, ‘J
will be if I will do it.’ I thei
laid if you stay here you have got
t to pay. He said, l I would like t<
-enow how in — you are going t<
get it ?’ I said as I owe you a doi
ar I will get it that way. He thei
<aid, ‘That is the way you — —
white men do a poor negro. Hold
>ack money and cheat him out o :
t. I will be if I will stand h
iny longer.’ I went to ihe well
md he followed. I then said.
Toney, you must distinctly under
hand this is my yard, and you mus 1
eave the place at once. He repliec
hat he had a tongue to talk, and
would say what he — pleased. ]
iaid, I will see if I can’t make you
£0, and 1 picked up a slick and
•tarted towards him. He walked t<
he corner of the lot fence, where u
.die of standards lay, and as I ad
/anced he said. ‘5iou , if you
•ome to me I will kill you,’ and pick
id up a hickory pole in a threaten
ng manner, and I shot him. 1 shot
hrough fear he would kill me.’”
Other Testimony.
Capt. T. B. Cox,sworn, said: “The
lead man was a desperado, ano
eally violent. He has been in sev
iral rows. The constable was here
or him yesterday with a warrant
or trying to murder his wife ano
Adaline Gib3on. I ran him off mj
place Friday for being such an ob
jectionable fellow. I didn’t wan;
lim on the place.”
Other testimony was heard, all
mstaining the foregoing facts, ano
he jury gave the following verdict:
The Verdict.
‘We, the jury, being duly sworn
hold an inquest over tht
oody of Toney Garvin, who now lies
lead before us, find that lie came tt
his death by a pistol wouud shot by
vlaurice Tinley, and the said kill
ng was done in self defense. So say
we all.

A Business Proposition.
Does it not appear to our mer
chants and other business men in
Waynesboro that since the opening
and operation of the ferry on the
Savannah river from uear Girard to
Hattieville, 8. C, which has rail
road connections with Augusta and
other commercial points, that much
of the trade that came to Waynes
boro trom this section is going else
where unless we make an effort to
get it back. We would make tbe
suggestion as a good move in this
direction that the public roads from
Waynesboro leading to points in
the 68th district could be straight-
enediin several places, and thus
shorten the distance several miles
It is worth your attention, business
men of Waynesboro, we teel fully
convinced.

An Appeal.
Mr. Editor: Last cotton season
nearly all the cotton w’as carried
from the cotton yards down Peace
street to the depot. This gave the
residents on Peace street all the
dust and noise of the draymen,
which at times w'-'re almost intoler
able.
Now as the cotton yards are be
ing moved up opposite other streets,
we believe our merchants and cot
ton buyers will be kind enough to
let a portion of the cotton at least
go to the depot on the other paral
lel streets.
Willing always to endure our
share of the natural discomforts, we
speak in advance of the generosity
•f our neighbors in saying they are
more than willing to share their
part of the noise and dust that ema
nate from the rapid transit of our
draymen in moving the cotton to
ihe depot.

From start to fin-
13 ish, Life is the -real
- genuine article of
j blue personification
and yet there are
days iu the exis
tence ot man that
life has its joys and
happiness, when the
horizon of human
thought is unclouded and the
sunshine of content beams lov
ingly upon the heart of fallen
man. All human believe their
lot to be hardest, and no doubt
burdens are laid upon Adam’s
race to keep them trom wishing
to be a permanent fixture iu this
rough and “rocky” world ot
ours. It seems that the supreme
effort of man is to gain happi
ness, but that effort is directed
along selfish lines while the ex-
perience ot ages prove that to
attain happiness one must truly
be unselfish. What a task! One
might as well attempt to drain
the ocean, as it were, ^is to try
to be totally unselfish. This un
selfishness seems then to be an
acquired characteristic gathered
trom many fields of battle fought
by tlesh and spirit. Unselfish
ness should be taught one trom
tbe “cradle to the grave” and
then perfection is not reached.
Instead one receives intuitively
the taint ot selfishness trom the
time the mind begins to be
five in an infant and it is
larged and increased until
infant develops in man as
see him of to-day.
The Cash Concern does not
set itself up as an Apostle ot
Unselfishness, neither does it
claim to be absolutely spotless
in regard to selfishness ; yet it
does claim that in placing profits
on its merchandise it is more
than willing to share any profit
that may occur in the purchase
of goods out ot regular line of
trade with those, who wish ,to
ave a dime or so in the purchase
ot necessary articles.
We have a lot of shoes that
we will tell you more about
later.
