IN OLD FAMILY FEDD.
t Started Two Years Ago Between the
Townsend and Fulgham Families^
It Broke Out An«w In a Fight
on Last Friday Evenings
Ncwbern, Tenn., April 30.—Shortly be
fore 1 dark thi* evening the sound of a
fusllade of pistol shots was heard on the
main street of this town and within ten
g tv owls of the first shot the four partici
pants lay dead in the street. These four
are R. W. Townsend and his son Beaure
gard, and A. B. and John Fulgham.
The quadruplo tragedy was the out
come of a feud that started two years
ago and grew out of a trivial dispute
between the Townsend and Fulgham
families. The troubles smouldered a
Jong while without breaking out in open
violence until last Friday evening, when
Murray Fulgham, meeting young Avery
Townsend, began to abuse him. He fin
ished by administering a beating to the
young man with an ax handle. Young
Townsend swort out a warrant charg
ing Fulgham with assault and battery
with Intent to kill. Fulgham at once left
tfie town to avoid arrest and went up in
Madison county, but his father sent for
him and brought him back. People in
the neighborhood aware of the facts and
knowing the natures of the two families
exi»ected that there would be serious trou
ble, but did not expect the tragedy of
- 6Vcr «_ y$i%nm Vnisrhnm was ar
rested upon his return homo and gave
bond. This evening he was taken before
a magistrate ior a hearing and ns *v s
evidence showed the assault to have been
unprovoked a fine of 150, with costs at
tached, was inflicted. There was a large
party In the magistrate's office and no
serious words passed between the oppos
ing parties during the progress of the
trial. At the conclusion of the court bus-
jieds the crowd moved out, and near the
door the Town&c-nd and Fulgham parties
came together. There were a few words
then weapons were drawn and the shoot
ing began. In almost an instant the
wholesale killing was done and the four
men lay stretched out on the pavement.

Between the hours of 1 and 2 yesterday
the engine of the Columbus train was
drilling cars in the Central yard* here.
A small boy opened a switch directly in
front of it. The engineer was uncon
scious of the fact and being unable to
stpp his train, the engine, tender and
front wheel* of one car left the tr-ick
nnd ran on the tics for some distance.
Fortunately the speed was low and the
damage was very slight «w*J soon re
paired. The youth who was the .’ause
of the accident was locked In a box cor
for a while, but released and cautionod
never to appear In the yards again. No

People are becoming Interested in fruit

K. nivensfA. K. fichumpert, H. J. Free
man, J. L. Adderton, ami others have
the matter under advisement and will
soon effect organization upon a business
basis. Tt 1* proposed to secure the co
operation of evi-Ty fruit grower in Sum
ter c«ms>ty and the organization wfll bo
In position to greatly promote this most
Important industry here. It means much
for Americas nnd Sumter county, and as
the movement hi* been started It will ho
pushed to a successful erd. The pro-
mote«*s propose to organize and aot»id?t
the society upon the same plan as adopted
bv the Fulton Oo>unty Horticultural Club
with marked success. Everything con
ducive to the Interests of horticulture will
receive the careful consideration of the
local club. Freight rates to all import
ant points West and North wfll be se
cured and the advantages of this section
for fruit growing widely advertised. Sev
eral fruit exhibit* annually will also be
arranged, which feature In Itself will be
of no little interest and benefit. It seems
to them that Aroorleus and surrounding
country should be the principal fruit mar
ket of Georgia, situated as It Is In the
finest fruit growing section of the state,
and the organization of just such a so
ciety as Is about to bo formed will do
much toward stiractfev attention this
way, and in the end make beautiful with
orchards and vineyards the barren hill
sides and waste fields of Sumter. Fruit
growing has already received a big Im
petus here of late and many large peach
orchards, one of 400 acres, will be planted
this fall. The people are gratified at this
evidence of thrift and progress and pre
dict succors for all who engage therein
where care and judgment are exercised.
It has been urged that the fruit growers
of Sumter county effect an organization
to the «*tid that their interests might be
the better protected and tho valuable
crop turned Into cash Instead of being
allowed to waste and decay in tne or
chard*.
