THE USUAL SATURDAY NIGHT KILLING. : MarsliallJMajor Shot and Killed by Grant Godbee on Saturday Night Last in Way nesboro. The judge of ihe Superior court had adjourned the court only a few i hours, having finished up ihe trials of 12 murders and assaults with in tent to murder—ail negroes —when another occurs to blacken the re cords of Burke county at the naur- der-hatching negro “festibui,” Grant Godbee now rests behind the bars for the killing of Marshall Major at a negro frolic cut on Rail Road boulevard. So far as the tes timony goes It was deliberate mur der, a willful killing and premedi tated. The kiiler was drunk, went to the place of amusement with a a pistol, after having threatened to kill the man he shot, and did ail he went to do. This is what our inves tigation of the affair develops. However it is full six months that the wretched brutal creature wiil he in jail at the expense of the law- abiding, tax paying citizens of the county, ualyncbed for the sake of deceny, law and order,and when the lime to put him before the jury comes the dead victim wiii have beeu for gotten, worms will have eateu him and dust taken the place of flash. A maudlin sympathy wiii be hatched, witnesses taught by careful coach ing to lie and purjure themselves for the beastly murderer and when the jury retires to deliberate about the event they will make up a ver dict with as much of malice afore thought washed out as possible and will ‘ recommend mercy” that the murkydeyll never showed his victim in the slightest degree. !he dead had no time to make his peace with God and now according to creed, is a howling victim in a hell of un quenchable fire: so the unoffending man, pursuing his way in the peace of the state under the supposed pro tecting aegis of the law.gets iheworst of it all along the line and the com munity is outraged, defied and left helpless. And now don’t you see how 7 the man who sits in the White House at Washington City 7 , trying to elevate this dark factor on the edge of our civilization out of its sphere is hob nobbing with lynch and hell itself? There were seven witnesses for ihe state. As they began to tell the dark story the criminal is hush ed their mouths by waiving a preliminary 7 examination. This of ccutse commits him for the charge of murder. But enough was elim inated to show 7 that he lied when he says he reached behind the dead man in defending himself and shot him in the side. The surgeon who went to the victim shows that the wound was in front, the ball passed out behind,clothes w 7 as powder burn ed,and that without a word of warn ing the man was shot before he could raise his hand to knock ihe weapon away. Others say he told Major he would kill him if he found him with a certain woman. Godbee found him with her as he expect ed to do when he came into the room of the festal scene, r -nd had the pistol for that purpose. It is shown that he walked directly to Major and said, ‘T told you to let my wo man alone,” and shot. That tells the story in brief. We have tried to get the truth about it, and this can oniy be varied hereafter by wit nesses who have not been sworn. If it were possible the grand jury which was not discharged, ought to be called and swift justice meeted out so that the community could have some rsy of hope that the law still desigus to protect. But the court just now ha3 more business than it can attend to elsewhere of the same character. Another Killing: Reported. We have not been able to get at (he real facts in the case of the kill ing of Pink Sherod near the Jeffer son and Burke line, We find the following in the Augusta Chronicle ol 22d inst. from its Louisville cor- pondenf. “News ha9 reached here of a shooting affair which occurred just in the edge of Burke couuty yester day, in which Pink Sherod receiv ed wounds from which he died a few hours later. He, with several other negroes, were gambling and became engaged in a dispute over the money, when one drew a revol ver and opened fire, resulting as above, and made his escape. — I have several pair of pants on which a deposit has been made that I will sell at a close price to get rid of them.

Sam Jones Got here on schedule time and maybe he didn't raise a howl. Officers and rear seat members of the churches, bucks and buckesses, Demo crats Republicans, and Populists, “Sassiety," good- for-nothing husbands, Joe Terrell and> others caught the “dickens" there, and got a prophecy of warmer things he said suited us, and as he said it was the hit ion that would be howl ing after he left. We have no remards to make about what we didn't like. That gun, Sam,was shoot ing in the hole at 'em,which must have scattered power ful,for we understand there were lots of howling. We hoped he would enlarge up on on e subject that he touch- ed, but he doesn't care to, and we were afraid to ask him to, and tha t was about “merchants skinning peo ple." He couldn't stop it though, for when a fellow gets loaded up with bad credits he has got to “skin" people why pay to make up for those who don't. That's why THE CASH CON CERN don't have to “skin" anybody, because it believes “no man as good as gold" and keeps no books full of “Tickets." That's the reas on we can afford to sell goods away below par and still make a decent living. Here are some few quota tions, honest.
