The School noose at laabella which waa Being VToed thru Court Boom Burned Down. A night or two before the Superior Court of Worth county waa to aseenble. in October, 1878. the torch of tome nnknown incendiary was applied to the Courthouse at Isabella, and the bidd ing, together with all its content* was laid in ashes. The county authaities then fitted up an old school hose near by, which has been used for couz pur- ever since, until Sunday night, when it, too, was visited by he in cendiary and redoced to ashes. Monday morning was the hoe for the regular fall session of Wortl Supe rior Court to convene, and variola are the opinions as to whst miglt have been the motives of the inemdisry or ineendiaries who applied tie torch. Some think that the fiendish work was done by criminals who denred to pre vent the convening of Court, and thus The railroads running in'o Albany are just now in the midst of their busy season. The amounts of freights, out going and incoming, {are simply enor mous. All tho rolling stock on all tlireo roads are running every day, and the men are kept on the nn almost con tinually. The consequonccjis that tho ailroads arc making money; freights are delayed by the rush, and the mer chants are cussing about it Well, if thcro’isn t money in rail roading South, in winter, it never can be made. TUB MATTER OF FREIGHTS. Important ItleetlUK Called. We are requested to ctll a meeting of the merchants, planters and business men generally, of Douglierty and sur rounding counties, to assemble at tho Courthouse in this city on 'Tuesday nest, November 2nd, for tho purpose of taking into consideration tho matter of freights. It ia piopoacd to purchase a steamer to ply between Brunswick and Charleston, S. C., for the purpose of carrying and bringing freight for this section. Our people have determined not to ■ulunit to the unjust and oppressive tariffs which have been imposed upon them, and therefore propose to tnko tho matter in their otvn hands. The lab? increase of freight rates on cotton to Savannah fiom forty-two to sixty cents per hundred takes from tho planters of this psrticulsr section about $30,- 000 per annum in cotton alone, which rightfully and justly belongs to them, while on incoming freights there is an increase on Albany's burden of from $50,000 to $00,000, all of which comes directly out of the pockets of our own people. The estimated cost of the proposed steamer is only about $20,000, and tho leading spirits in this movement have been promised liberal subscriptions from other cities interested, nnd wo doubt not (be requisite sum will be .raised at once. The people of Albany and South west Georgia can hope for no relief from the oppression of monopolies or the on 'orcement of State laws, but now resort to their own independent, indi vidual efforts, which have never yet failed in the transaction of good work. Let the meeting be largely attended, and let there bo prompt and positive The Southwestern Railroad Compiny run out Sunday afternoon the first drily train on the Arlington Extension. This affords increased facilities to our friends on that line for transacting the growing business of their section. The daily’ schedule was established by the liberal and enterprising company, at the re quest of the merchants along the route, and will, we doubt not, prove mutually successful. We congratulate our little neighboring towns. Arlington now enjoys a telegraph line and a daily train.

The Chattanooga Times thus speaks of them : Last night a very large crowd assem bled at Sames’ Hall to witness the first appearaifce fn this city of Cooper & Stewart’s Minstrels. The crowd evi dently was delighted witli the perform ance, judging from the vociferous ap plause frequently evoked ; several of the performers were encored.

After learning all the details Hint were to lie had from witnesses and citi zens familiar tvilli the characters of the two men and tho circumstances con nected with this unfortunate affair, it is really painful lo us lo have to give a fair ami candid statement of the facts to the public. Messrs. Tison and Callaway were both merchants of Leesburg, tho former be ing interested in two or perhaps three stores in the place. It seems that Mr. Tison was greatly under the influence of liquor on Wednesday night, anil nt to tlie store of Mr. Callaway and raised a disturbance, shooting off Ills pistol in the house, and making him self disagreeable generally. Mr. Cal laway was not in the store at the time, hut was attending a political mcctingnt the Courthouse. Being minlile to quiet Mr. Tison, ami fearing trouble, Mr. T. J. Mason, the clerk ill the store, for Mr. Callaway, Who soon arrived. When lie reached ids store, however, Mr. Tison had left, having gone or his sou’s store on the opimsito side of tlie street and railroad. Upon learn ing what had transpired during Ids ab sence, Mr. Valla way went over to here M r. Tison was, ami asked the latter what he meant, by shooting off his pistol and raising such a disturb ance in his store. Mr. Tison made no apology or satisfactory explanation of his conduct, but asked Mr. Callaway what lie proposed to do about it. As to what follon ed right here there is a conflict ill tile statements that are made. It is said by one of tlie witnesses that Mr. Callaway started to draw liis pis tol, when Mr. Tison, with more dexter ity, drew his pistol anil got “the drop’ on Callaway, when tlie latter retreated Another statement is that Callaway hail no pistol, or that lie ilid not draw it All agree, however, tiiat Callaway re [ to ashes by incendiaries.

U uppcivrs that when CedUwuy re* turned to Ids store lie entered and lock ed the door, his clerk, Mason, and an other man, Jno. A. Webb, being in the house with him. Tison, following Cal laway, soon knocked at the door. Find ing it locked, lie commenced try in; enter by violence. Failing to* break the door down, he opened lire on it with hi* pistol. Not being satisfied with this, lie either went or sent to his son’s store and got a Henry rifle, and with this tired one or two balls' through the door. Then; are also mark* on the floor which show that the mn/./.lc of the gun must have been thrust against it with great force. Mr. Janie* Salter, an intimate friend of Mr. Tisou’s, and the Sheriff of the county, was sent for, and when he ar rived at the place found Mr. Tison pounding on the door. Mr. Salter at once took hold of him and tried to lend him away, hut what followed shows that he dhl not succeed. Just here wc are met by conflicting statements again. Mr. Salter, assisted by some one else, it seems, got Mr. Tison away from the frontdoor. The frontdoor of the store opens on the street on the west side of the railroad, and the back door opens into a cotton patch which surrounds the rear. The next that we hear of M r. Tison after he was led away from the front door, he is pushing rails off the fence and making hi* way to the rear door, lie evidently thought that Cal laway was still in the store, as did also Mr. Salter and the other friends who with him, but it seetns that Cal laway had passed out through the back door, and was either in the fence cor ner about ten or fifteen yard* from tbe rear of the house, or just over the fence in his yard. In approaching the rear door from the point where he crossed the fence, Tison was also advancing towards where Callaway, or whoever fired the fatal shot, was evidently standing, as is shown by the range of the shot through the top* of the cotton stalks. It appears that Mr. Salter and anoth er mail had hold of Mr. Tison when he was shot, and that one or two others were near by, Mr. Ed. Floyd, one of Mr. Tison’s clerks, being near enough to receive u shot in hi* hat. One re port say* that it was .Mr. John Haines one of .Mr. Tison’s clerks, who had hold of him with .Mr. Salter, and another says that it was Mr. Tison’s st this as it may, Mr. Tison had approach ed within a few feet of the hack door, when a gun fired from the position al ready pointed out. Mr. Tison #t:i, ed hack and sahl, “Boys, he lias killed me.” These were hi* last words. Those who hud hold of him eased him to tlie ground, and he was u dead man in a few minutes. The nature and locality of the fatal charge is fully described in the tes timony of witnesses printed below. I will also be seen that it is in evldeue that Mr. J. I*. Callaway fired the fatal shot. Mr. Salter says that after Callawsi shot Tison lie snapped tlie other ban* of his gun at him. It is also said that young Tison, or some one else, fired at Callaway. This is contradicted by others, however, and we give it, not as n fnrt, blit as ono of the unity conflict ing rumors that we heard. It seems that no effort, was mad* arrest Callaway, and lie remained at home mitil yesterday morning afte breakfast, when lie quietly rode ;nvay Later in the day, hi* clerk, Mr. Mason was placed under arrest, charged with Isdiigaccessory to the murder. It is thought* by Mr. Callaway friend* that lie left home more touvn the excitement and embarrassment the circumstances under which he would Is; fiu tvoiduhly.placed, than to cHeape any process of law, and that, he will not remain out of the way very long, lie is a young man without family. His father and family reside In Macon, but usually spend the win ters at Leesburg with this son. We have endeavored to give the read ers of the News and Advertiser a fair statement of all the principal or most important circumstances- connected with this unfortunate tragedy. If we have done Injustice to either side, or if wc have misstated any fact bearing upon the case, our columns are open to the friends of either party for such cor rections as they desire to make. It Is impossible to write up an affair of tills kind to the entire satisfaction of all in terested, even when facts ure stated correctly. We publish below the testimony taken at the coroner’s inquest held yes terday. In giving It to the public we deem It just that we should say, how ever, that all the witnesses sworn are supposed to be the friends of the de ceased, the main object of the Inquest being to fix the crime upon Mr. Calla way, as there seemed at first to be some doubt as to who fired the fatal shot. Our reporter had to return to the city by the 3 I*. M. train, and the Inquest had not adjourned when he left. The messenger who brought us tlie testimony through the country left Leesburg about 5 F. M., and no verdict had been rendered by the jury up to that hour. No man in Lee county had more friends or wielded greater in fluence In thff politics of the county than Mr. Tison, and it is safe to say that his untimely death will be avenged to the fullest extent of the law, it the circumstances under which his life was taken do not prove to 1m; justifiable. Tison leaves a wife and a family of children to mourn his sad death. Ills re mains lay in state at ids residence in Leesburg until half past three o’eloek Thursday afternoon, when they were folio well by a large procession to the family burying ground at Starkville for interment. Following Is the testimony of Ahe witnesses sworn at the coroners in quest : Jamk* Salter,sworn, says: Witness knows the deceased. Saw him right behind Mr. Callaway’s store last night, 27th of October. Saw him right there when he waa shot and had him by the arm. Witness, and deceas ed, John Hagen, Sam ’Tison, Ed. Floyd were present, and we were going around to the store. Witness had de ceased by the arm, and we were talking John Callaway said, “God damn you, I’ll kill you,” and slut him. Deceased lived five or six minutes after he was shot. Mr. CallawJy was standing along by the side of the corn room, close to the fence, in jam of fence and store. Witness and deceased were not over fifteen steps or yards from John Callaway when he fired the shot. It was behind Mr. Callaway’s store in Lee county. Witness was not looking for any attack from that quarter. Everything seemed to be quiet at that time.* The body of deceased is up at Tison’s house. That was not the place of killing. Deceased was moved from the plains of killing to tlie brick store by witness, and his wife had him removed hence. The place that his wife had him moved to is the place where the jury viewed the body. Witness got on tlie sqM>t about twenty minutes before deceased was killed. * He was told that there was a fuss; that Tison was in his brick store drunk, and Callaway was ■ifter him, is the reason lie went down there. Witness is Sheriff of the coun ty. Witness went down there to stop it. and bring Mr. Tison away. Deceas ed was at Callaway’s front door and was knocking at the iloor with a pistol or gun. He does not know which. They went around tlie store and got behind the chimney and stopped and started to turn back, when deceased waa shot. Deceased made no other demonstration while witness was there, but knocking on the door. It was the store-house that deceased was drinking at. Mr. Callaway was not in that or any house when he fired. Witness was going to bring deceased home when he was shot, and started to do so. Deceased was drunk and didn’t know where he was going to, when wit ness discovered he was so drunk lie jumped over the fence after him to bring him away. John Callaway was also present at the killing. There might have been other persons present, hut witness didn’t see them. Mr. Tison fell right at the back of the store chimney, four or five yards from it. Witness saw Mr. Callaway just as the gun was fired and just after he ran to wards them between the two stores. Witness does not know where Calla way is; he understands he has left the place. A .warrant has been placed in witness’ hands for his arrest, apd the reason he Is not arrested is because he can’t find him. Witness recognized Mr. Callaway distinctly,uml is certain it was him. Witness is certain that Callaway was in the field and ran Ik;- tween the two stores. Witness pulled deceased from the front door, and de ceased said he would kill witness, wit ness replied that he had nothing to kill with. Deceased then said that he wanted to see John Callaway. De ceased had a Henry rifle in his left hand when he was shot; it wasn’t loaded, for witness snapped it several times after wards. Deceased said Callaway had come and attacked him to his, deceased’s store, ami he wanted to settle it. This conversation occurred al>out twenty minutes before he was shot at the front iloor of Mr. Callaway’s store. There were no threats made*while they were back of store. Witness told deceased to come go home with him, he said he would do it and started to turn when lie was shot. When Mr. Tison told wit ness he would go with hitn it was in a loud enough tone to be heard from where the gun was fired. Witness knows of no shooting previous to the shooting by Mr. Callaway. Witness doesn’t think he heard tiring before that. Witness says lie doesn’t think the feeling existing between Callaway ami deceased was good for two or three years past. Witness didn’t see Mr. Mason at all, but he saw the door open as Callaway went in after the firing, and the lights were dim. Wit ness bad no conversation with Calaway at all. The conversation between wit ness and deceased could perhaps have been heard by a person in the store or by a person standing where the shot was fired. Deceased had his rifle in his hand at tlie front door and would have taken it from him. John Haynes tokl Witness it was loaded, hut that Deceas ed got it out of liis,; Haynes’ store. Deceased said, “boys he has’kilied me,” after In; was shot. Deceased had noth ing hut the gun at the time he was shot, John Haynes took pistol from him at front door of store. Witness was not expecting an attack from any quarter; in- didn’t think auhody was about, but lie thought Mr. Mason was in store. Calaway came pretty close to Witness as in; ran between the two houses, not over ten or twelve feet, and lie could easily recognize him, then, if not be fore,* he recognized hi* voice first, mid when he came nearer he also recogniz ed him. Du. Coi.kman sworn, says: Witness saw the person of Deceased exposed after death. There were some wounds on him; Witness don’t know many nor what. The wounds appeared to lie shot wounds. Some shot ap|M>ar- ed small and some large. Witness couldn't fell how far flic gun was tired from Deceased from distribution of shot in wounds. The thick part of the wound was below flic stirmonor breast lame. Couldn’t tell how many shot there were, but he appeared to lie full of wounds they were so thick. Du. Love, sworn says: . Witness i* a physie'iau. Witness ex amined the ImhIv'of deceased, he was called to him ana ho wafc dead when ho got there. There were _ wounds ou his body; it was a „ wound and appeared to be done with » double-barreled gun for a great many small shot wore sticking in Ids clothes. There were three wounds near together and appeared to be done with buck-shot, or something of that kind. The wounds covered the whole bowels and appeared to be done with bird shot and buck shot put on top .of them, from the shot being so much scattered and spent, shine of them sticking in the clothes. The person who fired the gun must have been some little distance from de ceased. Witness couldn’t guess within a few yards. The average distance of the wounds where tlie shot struck the skin must have been 3 or 4 to the square inch. From nppearanoe of deceased witness does think he had lost a great deal of blood externally. Witness thinks that deceased died from a shock of nervous system, occasioned by the wounds on tlie body. Deceased was just in tlie edge of cotton patch, behind the chimney, five, six or eight feet from it; he wag lying upon his back with head pointing in a Northeast direction. Deceased was dead when witness reach ed him; he was lying in an enclosed place and had not been moved. Wit ness is satisfied that wounds produced his death. But a few of the small shot penetrated far into the body. It must have been the three buck shot wounds that were most fatal. John Haynes sworn, says: When the fuss la;gan Mr. Tison was in Mr. Callaway’s store and fooling with a negro and fired off a pistol. I beanl it when it fired and closed tlie door and went over and got him and brought hitn to the brick store, and Mr. Callaway came over and told him he wanted to sec him a minute, and Mr. Callaway and deceased walked about four or five steps from me, wit ness, and Mr. Callaway told him he didn’t like the way he had been treated, and deceased asked him what he was ; going to do about it, and then Mr. Cal laway stepped hack anil tried to draw his pistol and got it about half out, and Mr. Tison drew his first and Mr. Callaway run. Tison got his out by beiu £ quicker Gjan Callaway, aud then Mr. Tison went on over to -Mr. Calla way’s store and told him to come out and settle it; to give him a showing. Witness tried to get Mr. Tison off and couldn't do it, aud he come back to get Mr. Salter and Floyd to help him, and they come down and begged him to go back and he wouldu’t do it, and De ceased went around the corner of store aiul went over the fence, and we all followed him over there, we walked about ten or twelve feet from tlie fence, and John Callaway was sitting in the corner of fence, between the house and fence, and fired and shot Mr. Tison, jumped over the fence and run, and another mail, who appeared to be Mr. Ware, run in the house from the corner of store and slammed the door. In the meantime a negro named Green Wat- kin told Witness in front of store that he had better take Mr. Tison away from there; that they had fixed a plan to kill him, and Deceased said, “God damn, let them kill.” This was before Witness came after Mr. Salter and Floyd. At the dine Deceased was shot he was niakiug no effort to hurt any body. They were not expecting an at tack from anybody, from tlie fact-that Mr. Salter and Floyd were holding him, and they were as good men as De ceased. Witness was standing dose enough for two buck shot to hit him, one went through vest and the other through shirt-sleeve and shot a cedar pencil in two that was in vest pocket.
