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.

This morning a horse attached to the milk wagon cf Mr. Mosc Oliver took fright and started off at a lively gait, rimnimr wweml blocks before hanging the wagon on a fence *< the comer of Jackson and Church streets, spilling mlik the eretired istanoe. The wagon was badly damaged and the wheels practically ruined. At the Baptist Sunday school Sunday It was determined to have a picnic In a few weeks. The following committee ■was to make all arrangements and to determine a time and place. The com mittee will hold an Important meeting this afternoon In which to make things known. The committee consists of Mesdames S. C. Cooper, J. C. McKen zie D. M. Stewart, W- B. Worthy, Em mett Murray, John R. Shfuw, .T. I. Dor- by. W. F. Clark, John Windsor, A. C. Bell, J. W. Harris. K T.

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 caee will be made ngain^t h'.m. People are becoming Interested in fruit growing. A-jnong some that favorM the move yesterday rire Messrs. H. R. John son. A. W. 8mlth. J. W. Wheatley, J. 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*.
