GEORGIA GIRL USES A GUN
An Insolent Negro Is Taught a Good
Lesson.
Carrollton, Ga., May L—Miss Delia
Whitmore, a young lady well known
throughout this section of the county,
by her nerve and faith in rightdoing
has taught the negroes of Carroll coun
ty a good lesson, and a chart of that
lesson can bo traced by the bullet holes
the youug woman made in the head,
neck aud body of Horace Heflin, a uegro
youth, who has long borne the reputa
tion of being insolent and ugly.
Heflin had tramped through the flow
er gardens of Miss Whitmore aud bad
been ordered by her father to go around
and not tramp through again.
This morning the girl was alone, and
the negro approached the house, going
over the ground forbidden. Miss Whit
more ordered him away, reminding
him of her father’s orders. The negro
left, but soon returned, going over the
flower lawn—this time with a pistoL
The girl told him to leave. With an
oath and insults he defied.
Miss Whitmore rau back in the house,
secured a gun, and returning, with good
aim, shot him in the neck, head and
bodv. The negro was not killed, but
pretty badly marked np. Officers ar
rested Heflin, and he was given a pre-
liminarv hearing and ordered to jail in
default of a $200 bond.
Oil Mills lo the Rescue.
Jackson, Miss., May 1.—Farmers of
this section have just discovered that
their cottonseed planted prior to the
cold wave has not germinated and ap
parently cannot thrive. Because of high
prices paid by the oil mills last winter,
the farmers sold all they could spar-
from their seed piles, reserving only om
planting. Interior merchants are hold-

Western Kentucky Lunatic Asylum
Develops a Sensation.
Lexington, Ky., April 83.—On ac
count of a pretty woman there is a row
on at the western Kentucky luuatic
asylum at Hopkinsville, and as a result
Dr. E. B. McCormick has been asked
for his resignation by Governor Beck
ham, which he has met with a demand
for a full investigation. Dr. McCor
mick has the support of the board of
asylum commissioners, who have re
quested that Governor Beckham with
draw his demand for the resignation of
Dr. McCormick, at the same time de
claring a belief in his good moral char
acter.
Dr. McCormick, in a statement, de
clares that there is a Conspiracy against
him at the asylum, with a view of get
ting nim removed.
The woman in the case was Miss Han
nah York, now Mrs. C. D. Mason of
Clinton, Ind. Dr. McCormick explains
the fact that he was in the same room
with Miss York for a period of 40 min
utes strictly on official business, by
stating the meeting was made by re
quest of Miss York, who wished to re
main in charge of the same ward in
stead of taking charge of one of the cot
tages, a change which had been con
templated.
The question which is now foremost
is the probable action of the governor—
whether he will withdraw his request
for Dr. McCormick’s resignation or will
insist upon it.
THE COMMISSARY SCANDAL
Trial of an Army Officer Who Solicit
ed and Received Bribes—Some Inter
esting Developments — Natives De
feated In Fight.
Manila, April 30.—General Tinio,
the Filipino leader in Abra province,
has surrendered.
The report that General Alejandrino
has surrendered is confirmed. He was
looked upon as the possible successor of
Aguinaldo.
Padre Aglippay, the excommunicated
Filipino priest, who preached the doc
trine of a holy war against the United
States, has also surrendered.
The trial of Captain James C. Reed,
ex-president of the commissary at Ma- j
nila, charged with soliciting and receiv- !
ing bribes and with other official mis- !
conduct, which began yesterday, con- j
tinued today and was fiercely contested, j
Thomas EL Harries, a bookkeeper of j
the firm of Robinson & Macondry, tea- j
tilled that Mr. Robinson paid Captain
Reed $S81. The firm’s books contained
entries to that effect.
Fred Macondry testified that he ar
ranged to give Captain Reed 10 percent
on the sale of vegetables for the trans
ports.
Before testifying, Berry Baldwin,
formerly United States marshal for Cal
ifornia and now manager of the Macon
dry company, shipping merchants,
made a statement to the court. He said
that attempts had been made to intimi
date him, and he asked for the protec
tion of the court. He had an affidavit
prepared, which he offered to the court,
but the latter declined to receive it and
returned it to Mr. Baldwin unread.
Mr. Baldwin testified to having a
$200,000 beef contract. Captain Reed
came to the office and claimed there
were'slight shortages in the beef deliver
ies, on account of which Mr. Baldwin
gave Captain Reed $345.
Adjutant General Carlington testified
that Captain Reed said Major Davis was
short 14,500 pounds of beef. He ad
mitted receiving money from Mr. Bald
win, but said the sum he received would
be applied to the beef shortage.
Aguinaldo has been subpoenaed as a
witness for the defense in a murder
case pending in Tay Tay, province of
Morong.
Captain John B. McDonald, with 21
men of the Third cavalry, recently at
tacked 60 insurgent riflemen aud 40 bo-
lomen in the mountains of Abra prov
ince. The insurgents were defeated.
Captain McDonald was wounded in the
lungs and a private was killed,

HE SHOT A YOUNG WOMAN
Because She Refused to Go to Church
With Him.
Moeganton, N. C., May 1.—James
Cape, a young white man, shot a young
lady named Miss Martha Baker, at the
home of her father, Martin Baker, 2
miles east of Morganton, because she
would not let him accompany her to
church. The ball entered the cheek
near the month and ranged along the
jawbone to a point near the base of the
ear. The wound is painful but is not
considered dangerous.
Cape came here to work on the tene
ment houses of the new Alpine cotton
mill. He has borne a good reputation,
and has been sober and industrious.

trial at the superior court. He had been
attentive to Miss Baker, the sister of
his laudlady, aud became offended with
her, it seems, because she refused to ac
company him to church.
