And the Killing Still Goes On-Negro Shot
At Girard.
Zack Holmes was shot and died
almost instantly last Saturday at
Girard. It was night and he was
talking to a friend. Green Daniel,
in front of Mr. W. R. Buxton’s resi
dence about 7 o’clock. Who did the
shooting is only yet a suspicion, but
a close watch is being centered on
an enemy of Hoimes living in the
neighborhood. Under cover of
darkness the assassin crept up very
stealthily and discharged a load or
shot into Holmes’ left breat over
the heart and the victim sank down
in death. It is one of those foul
murders that come so regularly
nowadays in this county and else
where that there is hardly any use
in comment. It is negro against
negro nearly every time and so
much impunity follows each mur
der that nothing seems to suggest a
stopping place. The courts abso
lutely do nothing against these de
basing occurences.
The patience of the people will
not last too long before one crime
will correct another; of course
lynching will be the result.

Mrs. N. P. Thomas in the city yes
terday afternoon to commemorate
the sad death of Mrs. E. H. Calla
way who was the first president of
the Margaret Jones chapter of "the
Daughters of the Confederacy of
this place.
After the chapter had been called
to order the Lord’s Prayer was re
cited by all in chorus.
The president of the chanter, Mrs.
E. C. Blount, read the following pa
per which tells its own impressive
story in announcing officially thp
death of Mrs. Callaway.
Daughters of the Confederacy;—
It is my painful duty to announce
to you this afternoon the death of
one of the charter members,the first
president ot the Margarent Jones
Chapter, Mrs. Eugenia Callaway.
Dead! It Is hard to realize. To
look back it seems but yesterday
she was here with us. A gentle
loving leader, always considerate
of the feelings and wishes of others
she made an ideal president. From
the organization of the chapter to
her removal from the city she was
ever ready to lilt her hand for the
cause she represented. She was
faithful, loyal Daughter of the Con
federacy. A woman of reserve and
quiet mein, one had to come in
touch with her to know her and
then her noble characteristics, “like
lilies pure and white unfold”
brought to light.
Her death was indeed sad. There
was so much in life for her, bounded
as it were, with perfect happiness,
but—
••Then mightjthey say—these vanished ones—
and blessed is the thought!
So death is sweet to us beloved, though we
may tell you naught,
We may not tell It to j ou quick—this mystery
of death.
The child who enters life comes not with
knowledge or intent.
So those who e ter death, must go as little
children sent—
Nothing is known; but I believe, that God
Is over head.
And as life is to the living,so death Is lo the
dead.’’
Would that we could say some
little word of comfort to those who
are bereaved but how utterly with
out meaning are words at such a
moment as this. Time, God’s bless
ed healer, can alone soften the
blow. To God’s gracious care we
commend the loving husband, the
dear little children, the sorrowing
mother and the devoted brother,
assuring them of our deepest love
and sympathy.
This was fallowed by a feeling and
appropriate address of Rev. T. D.
Cartiedge of the Presbyterian
church. In the order of the program
Miss Hilton then most beautifully
sang that sad but lovely song, “One
Sweetly Solemn Thought.”
After this the service closed with
prayer by Rev. T. D. Cartiedge.
is Burke’s time to name the Sena
tor for the Seven'eeuth District and
desiring to maintain the standaid
of our representative:
We, the undersigned, earnestly
request that you allow the use of
your name for Senator, and we
hereby pledge you our support for
the place.

Death of Mrs. Callaway.
One of the saddest deaths that
has afflicted any: community ,vas
that of Ers. E. H. Callaway at Sum
merville, Richmond county, on
Tuesday evening last.
The home is blighted and deso*
iated by the blow which fell when
there was not a breath of warning.
Atound the fireside of this most
lovely home now there is nothing
but sorrow and bitter tears.
For years Mrs. Callaway l’ved
here and was one of the most ad
mired and beloved women of this
community, Her popularity and
the enduring admiration of her
friends followed her when she went
away to live in another community
A gentler bred and sweeter char-'
aeter never ripened into woman
hood.
In the very meridian of a flawless
life she was suddenly stricken and
a young matron honored, re
spected and loved by all passed into
the silent halls of the great Beyond,
leaving the purest memory for all
to cherish.
Th9 burial services were held at
Summerville iu Richmond county,
on Thursday morning last and a
large number of friends and ac-
quaintarces, manifesting their deep
sympathy for the family and admi
ration for the deceased, attended
the last sad rites, many of them
were from Waynesboro.
The Daughters of the Confedera
cy met yesterday and held a memo
rial service to her, their first presi
dent. The proceedings will appear
eisewhere in this issue.

A Big Hog.
And now comes Jim Ward, tax
collector, to run the hog over a lot
of fellews. And this is how he
does it.
When it turned cold last week he
killed a hog. Now this is a whop
per—we mean the hog of course.
It weighed 750 pounds, net. But
listen. Each bam weighed 75
pounds, which made 150 pounds of
‘jist bam so.”
Off the jowls he casually cut 15
pounds each of of sausage meat and
didn’t scraoe the jaw bone by four
inches. The hog was so large that
when it was knocked on the head it
was two hours and a half before the
ail found out it was dead. This of
course is a fact, as we get it from
his records.
He claims some figuring that
rather rattles us, however when the
bacon measured 1700 pounds, out of
750 pound hog. But then we
iearned long ago not to doubt a tax
collector’s word before our taxes
were paid.
A Card From Hon. E. B. Gresham
Mr.Editor:—Having learned since
1 arrived in Waynesboro to-day
that a petition is being circulated
asking Hon. W. H. Davis to make
tne race for the State Senate and
having been told that it i3 because
I am not in the race for the Senate
but will run for State School Com
missioner. I wish to inform my
friends that I will not run for State
School Commissioner, but wiir run
for the State Senate. If elected to
the Senate I will make the race for
president pro tem, and have been
assured by my friends in the House
of their support.
Very respectfully,
E. B. Gresham.

fine and is in the usual business of
smiling American Beauty roses on

a meek-eyed coon, to the Boniface
of the Hotel de Burke, who had
been “skused of harness” Jim is all
right in this metropolis, In fact it is
generally turned over to him when
he comes. The negro Ca3on will be
given a hearing by the city court

join his confederates on the gang
and help Supt. Palmer in building
good roads.

Agent,
Waynesboro, Ga.
Yes he was always a chip* of un
usual intelligence even as infant
he showed wonderful apiitnde he
knew each member of ibw *umily
before he was three months old
and could recognize each ooea voice.
He spoke distinctly the day he was
nine months old. His mmn«r was
certain that he did, though she
wasn’t sure whether he said “ noth-
er, Christmas gift” but any way he
said it plain. He wasn’t like other
babies any way. He had t. more in
telligent expression and skewed as
much common sense as an ordinary
ctliid five times his age.
Any one that had any sense at
all could see that be was to ordina
ry child. It was easy to sen that he
was prodislined to be a gr *»t man,
and would no doubt be president of
the U. S. notwithstanding the fact
ihere wnuid be several iuiL on chan
ces against him You were convinced
more and more every day that he
had a great future before nixo. So
there was no use of such a L“- learn
ing to do ordinary work, to learn
a trade would be a waste o f time
and manual labor was fat oeneath
him. So when he is cut of school
he is left to spend the time as he
likes, of course he will use spare
time in some way that will be of
use to him when he starts on his
great career. And thus being left
to work out his own grett;. plans it
becomes evident before he eigh
teen that he has not been idle. He
can smoke a half cigaretL- at one
pull, inhale the smoke, take a drink
of water and then blow the ^moke
out afterwards. He can drink a
pint of liquor and never feet it, do
more tricks with a deck of cards
than any boy in towD, his
luck when It comes to “crane,” well
versed in the latest detective sto
ries, and is already handling all
his father’s surplus cash, with a
growing demand that you are be
ginning to wonder how you will be
able to supply him. And yon some
times catch yourself wondering
who will take care of your poor,
well meaning but unfortunate boy
after you are dead, if he should hap
pen to miss the presidency
The Cash Concern is sorry f^r you
and will do all it can for yon. Be
low’ Is a few of the many ciose pri
ces it will make to you.
