Randolph Jackson Killed By Carl, Mills
On Ron. F. L. Brinson's Sapp Place on
Last Saturday Eveninff,
Again the Saturday killing of ne
gro by negro occurs with monoto
nous recurrence. This kind of hap-’
pening is so regular that we are nev
er surprised to have to record it in
the issue of our paper that follows.
This one does not differ from the
other as the facts come to us from
eye witnesses. It is for the usual
frivolous quarrel and may safely be
put down as a genuine case of mur
der for which the. county wiii be
taxed three hundred or more dollars
to try with no prospect of compen
sation in return.
The facts as we learn them are
these: One Carl Mills was out hunt
ing with a companion named Bob
Herrington and were in the public*
road leading through the place of
Hon. F. L. Brinson in the 631 dis
trict Saturday last. They met Ran
dolph Jackson returning home from
Perkins Junction in a two horse
wagon. As lie diove along meeting
them, Mills took the gun from the
other hunter and raised it, pointing
ir at Jackson as he satin the wagon
Jackson called ou'Mdon’t point that
gun at ms and Mr.Brinsou’s.raulea.”
He replied, “What in the
hel! you got to do with
Brinson’s mules? Damn you
I’ll shoot you ” Suiting the action
to tho words he shot and the load
entered Jackson’s back from which
iie died in a few minutes
Behind it ail there was a deeper
motive than the mere aggravation
from the frivolous quarrel, which
will be developed perhaps when he
is tried for the crime. Timing
themselves to meet Jackson on the
road where Mills shot him is a sus
picious circumstance. Shooting the
unarmed man for almost no provo
cation shows there must have been
a deeper motive of malice exisiing
for some previous quarrel or other
cause equally as frivolous.
The killer fled and up to this
time has not been brought to jail
He is a young buck who.will not go
very far and maybe will be captur
ed Our vigilant sheriff is very apt
to land him before the next court.

To Restore the Old Route.
Mr. Joe Mallard, of the 68th dis
trict, was in the city yesterday, and
informed us that a petition has been
circulated and very generally sign
ed asking the postoffice department
to re-establish the star route from
Waynesboro to Girard, Hillis arid
Mobley, which now goes via Hattie-
ville, S. C. The change to Hattio-
vilie causes great dissatisfaction o
the citizens in that vicinity and it
is earnestly hoped the department
will grant their request.

Peach Farm In Burke.
Wo learn from Hon. F.L. Brinson
that he intends to establish a peach
farm in Burke and will plant 10,000
trees on a farm he has recently pur
chased from Judge E. H. Callaway
near this place. This is certainly a
move in the right direction, nivert-
:ng crops from the everlasting, life
wearing cotton planting. Burke
county can raise peaches and other
fruits a9 well as any county in the
state, and peach culture is known
to be one of great profit and rev
enue. The poorest lands in the coun
ty can be utilised and improved by
fruit culture.
A Hustling Young Firm.
T. A. Clary & Co. is one of Way
nesboro’s youngest firms, but the
way they “hustle” for bargains for
tbeir customers would do credit to
much older firms. They are con
stantly on the look out for “trade
snaps,” and as soon as it is secured
it is placed on sale at their store at
bargain prices. Their adv. always
tells you when to call for them
This week thgy tell you of some re
cent arrivals that sell at 60 cents
on the dollar, and every article a
real bargain. This is mighty com
forting talk when cotton is going
flown. Keep an eye on their adv.

WAYNESBORO, GEORGIA,
} 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 ’un 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 one subject that he touch
ed, but he doesn’t care to,
and we were afraid to ask
him to, and that was about
“merchants skinning peo
ple.” He couldn’t stop it
though, for when a tellow
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.
