Eatonton, Ga., Nov. 2.—Wiley F. | Wilcoxon, a farmer living 7 miles west i of.town, shot C. G. Flowers, his son-in- j law, killing him instantly. Wilcoxon j i:.-cd a shotgun, tiring both loads, but miy one took effect, in the iafS side of j Flowers. I The killing is the result of a mistm-; d.-rstatuiing the two men had, a year or ! more ago, which at the time, so Wil- coxoii says, necessitated his giving up las imme and family and seeking peace ; elsewhere. After being absent some • time lie returned several mouths ago. j It seems that Wilcoxon borrowed j Flowers' gun to go hunting. After, qr.-sriuning particularly as to the ma-j mw'laiiou of the gun, it being a breech- . loaier, and about the character of the! cartridges with which it was loaded, he j tune-1 and walked away, ostensibly to ; go hunting. When 25 or 30 feet dis tant, lie suddenly, and without provoca tion. turned and emptied the gun’s con tents into the side of Flowers, who was still standing in the kitchen door. SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY Man Fight Negro Porter and a Whit, on a Train. Vi.st Point, Nov. 5.—A serious cut ting affray occurred on the 10 o’clock ttam of the Chattahoochee Valley rail- read. Lou Hawkins, an employe of the V, •>- Point Manufacturing company (Langdale), was cut across the breast and sustained severe injuries from a fall, while John Lumpkin, the negro porter on tho train, had a long gash ex- ’■ tiding from his left temple to the righ. side of his neck. The trouble arose when several men dad a ii-ero picking a banjo in the car. Lumpkin was ordered to stop the fus nr put the men off. Words passed be- tween Hawkins and Lumpkin. Both drew knives and began cutting and then t- 'sed iu on each other. By some means Hawsins stumbled and fell backward nut of the baggagecar door, thereby sus-' !mumg serious injuries. havo neno, Anti-Ilian tin You more than $100 if you *100- Dr K.

Savannah, Nov. 3.—The value of Savannah’s exports for the month of October was the greatest iu the history of the port, the tfotal being §.9,431,816. The nearest previous record was that of November, 1891, when the total value of the exports from Savannah reached $7,- 253.087. The increase of more than 82,000,000 is due to the large number of both steam and sailing vessels which arrived and loaded during October with cotton, phosphate rock, naval stores and other heavy products handled through Savannah. For the first two months of the cotton season Savannah received 413,112 bales, and shipped 31S.425, the hulk os- it go ing to English and continental ports. LYNCHING WAS PREVENTED Governor Candler Orders Troops to Protect the Prisoner. Atlanta, Nov. 3.—Governor Candler, who, late last night, ordered a company of miiitia from Atlanta to Jefferson to prevent mob violence to a negro pris oner there, said this morning that he had received no report from the officer in charge. He assumed, therefore, that the trouble had been averted. Citizens of Jefferson and Harmony Grove threatened to lynch Gus Fellows, a negro now on trial at Jefferson for as saulting Miss Dolly Flood, near Har mony Grove, and Governor Candler, who was spending the day at Columbus, ordered troops to the scene. The militia will pronably remain at Jefferson until the trial is concluded. HAMMOND KILLS TOM WALL. Former Shoots His Brother-In-Law In Self Defense. Elberton, Ga., Nov. 2.—Jim Ham mond shot and killed Thomas J. Wall a ' few miles below Elberton. It seems that Wall was beating a negro tenant. Mrs. Wall, his wife, tried to stop him, and failed. She sent for her brother, Jim Hammond, who came and remon strated with Wall. This seems to have angered Wall, and he made £ him. Hammond ran and was part of the way by Wall. Hammond went to a neighbor s, where he secured a shotgun. He then returned and met Wall, who shot at him, but missed. Hammond then shot Wall, the entire load entering the left eye, killing him instantly. Story of a Slave To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery.

Copyright, 1900, by Charles A. Gray. V PRESIDENT M’KXXLET. Kinley. The Republicans place his plu rality at from 28,000 to 32,000. Both sides are claiming Nebaska, hut it is generally conceded to Bryan by a greatly reduced plurality. The electoral vote as made up at Re publican headquarters shows that Mc Kinley has a total of 284 while Bryan is given only 163, including Kentucky and Nebraska. This is an indication that Kentucky is lost to McKinley, although the Republicans claim it for McKinley by 5,000. The control of the house goes with the presidency. The roster of new mem bers of the lower branch of congress shows that the Republicans were more successful than their highest estimates. While the returns are not complete in all the districts, the indications are that the Republicans will have 202 members, while their opponents will have but 155. The official vote may make a difference in a few of the close districts, but it now looks as if Speaker Henderson will have a working majority of 47—cer tainly not much less Send us the news of your section. Republicans Claim 80,000 In Ohio. Columbus, O., Not. 7.—Election re turns are still incomplete, but the Demo crats concede about 30,000 and the Re publicans claim about 80,000 for their national and state ticket, as compared with 51,000 for McKinley in 1396. The only dispute is over the Third, Twelfth and Twentieth congressional districts, and the Republicans claim the election ©l Ndvm in the Third and of Tompkins in the Twelfth, which will make 17 Re publican and three Democratic congress men and one doubtful. The Ohio dele gation iu the last congress stood 16 Re publicans to five Democrats. Rich Gold Discovery. High Point, N. O., Nov. 5.—Parties from Candor, in Montgomery county, tell of a rich gold mine discovered near that place. Experts and miners who have been there pronounce it the richest find in the state in many years. Will Winter at Aiken. Aiken, S. C., Nov. 6.—Colonel John Jacob Astor of New York has leased a cottage here and will spend the coming winter in Aiken. Prevented a Tragedy. Timely information given Mrs, Geo. Lone, of New Straitsville.Ohio prevented a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives. A frightful cough had long kept her awake every meht. She had tried many reme dies and doctors but steadily grew worse until urged to try Dr. King’s New Discovery. One bottle wholly cured her, and she writes this mar velous medicine also cured Mr. Long of a severe attack of pneumo nia. Such cures are positive proof of the matchless merit of this grand remedy for curing all throat, chest and lung troubles. Only 50c and $1. Eyery bottle guaranteed. Trial bottles free at H. B. McMaster. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. 90,009 and the Republicans general!^ have been willing to concede that Bn n would carry Greater New York b; at least 50,000. Tho Democrats claim that Bryan would carry New York by some 80,000 to 90,000. Richard Croker sent Bryan a telegram informing him that though the state had gone heavily Republican New York county, which in 1896 gave McKinley 28.000 plurality had been carried by the Democratic electors by 33,000, a gain of 56.000 Mr. Croker was also quoted as saying: ■ power oil earth—nothing but his death—can prevent Mr. Bryan from re maining the natural leader of the peo ple.” Fusioiiists Make a Clean Sweep. Denver, Nor. 7.—The fusion of Fcm- ocrats, Silver Republicans and Populists made a clean sweep iu Colorado. Bry an’s majority, according to returns re ceived up to 7:30 o’clock this morning, which are far from complete, will be 35.000 or more. The entire fusion state ticket, headed by John B. Orman for governor, is elected by smaller majori ties than that of Bryan. The fusiouists probably will have a large majority in the legislature, but it is impossible as yet to give any figures ou the result. Later Returns From Louisiana. New Orleans, Nov. 7.—More com plete returns of the election confirm the reports of last night. Twenty-two thou sand five hundred votes were cast in New Orleans out of a registration of 41,403 Bryan’s majority is 13,400. The entire six congressional districts in Louisiana are strongly Democratic. Bryan’s majority iu the state, based on scattering returns from the conutrv and LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS What the Georgia Lawmakers Are Doing—New' Bills Introduced. DULL DAY IN LEGISLATURE. House and Senate Transact Some Un- j important Bussiness and Adjourn. Atlanta, Nov. 2.—The house almost failed to be able to do business at all to day. There were only 91 members pres ent. Four less, and there would have been no quorum. And there came very near being four less—that identical number arriving barely iu time to be recorded, which saving act was not of parmount importance, as things fell out. A few unimportant bills were intro duced, a couple of invitations, one to a barbecue and one to the oratorical con test, accepted, the committee on rules announced, Valdosta thanked for its hospitality, and badges for the Colum bus trip distributed. The most striking feature of the ses sion was one that did not transpire— Senator Bacon did not address the gen eral assembly as the general assembly intended him to do. It adjourned be fore the senator could reach the city. The senate’s record was equal to that of the house. The senate accepted a barbecue invitation, received a bill pro viding for a change in the charter of the city of Macon, , , - . , .,, , . badges from the secretary and ad- the result in the city, will be m excess j ourue( j ;ot their Columbus ' the foliowing resolution to the clerk’s desk: of 39,000.

Republicans claim the legislature by a safe majority, insuring the election of a United States senator. Result In Tennessee. Nashville, Nov. 7. — The plurality for Bryan in Tennessee is estimated at 30,000; and it is claimed that the ma jority for McMillan, Democrat, over McCall, Republican, for governor is about the same. The Democrats have elected eight and the Republicans two congressmen. The legislature will be largely Democratic. Both Sides Claim Kentucky. Louisville, Nov. 7.—At 0 o’clock this morning The Courier-Journal claims the state for Bryan by 13,091 and for Beck ham for governor by 5,000. Republi cans, however, claim the state for Mc Kinley and Yerkes for governor by nearly 8,000. Over 200 precincts are still to be heard from. Bryan’s Plurality Iu Virginia. Richmond, Nov. 7.—A recapitulation shows a Democratic plurality of 30,000 for president and the election of the Democratic candidates in every congres sional district. Iu nearly all cities and towns and many of the counties, Eryan ran behind the congressional ticket. WRIGHT’S DISPENSARY BILL. Measure Introduced Regarding Liquor Traffic—Proposed New Pension Law. Atlanta, Nov. 5.—The house and senate met this morning—and adjourned. Which piece of business the senate transacted in 30 minutes, and the house in 90. The upper house beat the lower, lie cause the lower got into a wrangle as to when it should meet again. There was barely a quorum present in either body. u :au Speaker Little called the house to order the roilcall showed 91 present— three more than a bare quorum. A resolution was adopted that no more leaves be granted tomorrow, except for Providential causes. Mr. Franklin of Washington followed with a resolution suspending the rules of the house, so that bills could be put upon their second reading, and that formality gone through with, pending the announcement of the committees, which was lost. A motion was then made to adjourn. This was immediately amended by an other motion, that the house stand od- “ Whereas. The members of this body will not be able to go home and vote for the Hon. William Jennings Bryan, Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States, on accouut of the necessity for electing a United States senator, be it “Resolved, That tho clerk of the house be authorized to call the roll so that each member may go on record as being desirous of voting for the Democratic nominee.” When the applause, which met the resolution, subsided, and its adoption was taken with a shout, the clerk began calling the roll. The vote was 101 to 2 and Speaker Little declared Bryan elected. Bmmirk’s Iron Nerve. Was the result of his splendid health.

Its purpose was to al low as many members as could do so to go home tomorrow and vote and return to the city in the afternoon. And the same fear that not enough would return in time to elect a senator, as called for by law, caused the amendment’s de feat.
