LIBERTY, BUT FAILED.

Frightened Away, Pursued and Caught.
Broke Awav From Captors and Was
Promptly Shot Down.
Ashburn, Ga., August 14.—(Special.)
—Mr. Dave Oravey, who lives about live
miles from this place, - shot and al
most instantly killed a negro by the
name of ITenry Green last night about
dark.
It seems that the negro, in oompany
with nnothor negro by the name of Ben
Hill, went to the residence of Mr. Ben
Oravey yesterday about noon and asked
for some tobacco. Mrs. Oravey and her
daughter being alone at the time, she
refused to give them the tobacco, and
- they, to all appearanoes, left. But some
time in the afternoon Mrs. Oravey dis
oovered one of them creeping towards
the house. Her sorenms and her
mother's were heard by Mr. Oravey,
who was at work close by. Before ho
could get to the house the negroes ran
off. After getting his brother Dave to
acoompany him, he gave chase and cap
tured both of them. After tying then-
he left them in charge of Dave while lie
went home to change his clothes. In
the meantime, Dave had started with
them to this place and was walking be
hind them, when, without warning, the
negro, Green, suddenly wheeled and
began shooting at him with a pistol he
had ounningly ooneealed in his clothes.
Mr. Oravey returned the fire with a
Winchester, shooting Green through tho
backasherau around a stump and in-
flioting a wound from which he died in
about thirty minutes.
Mr. Oravey’e clothes were pierced
w,lth three bullets, but luololy he es
caped Injury in the exoitement. The
other negro esoaped, but a posse is in
pursuit of him. An inquest was held
this morning and the jury completely
exonerated Mr. Oravey.
The negro killed was undoubtedly a
bad negro, as the pistol he used in shoot
ing at Mr. Oravey was stolen from an
other negro at this plaoe Monday night.
He told Mr. Oravey before he died that
he was wanted for other orimes, but
would die before telling what they
were.

A WORD FROM DEAL JACKSON.
The Well Known Colored Farmer Snys Some
thing About That First Bale.
Tlie IIi-Hal.D has rooeived from Deal
L, Jackson, the well known colored far
mer of West Dougherty, tho followiug
communication:
Mu Eiutor: Please allow me apaoe
in your oolamns. I don’t propose to
make a fight over tho first hale ques
tion. “By their works shalt thou know
them.” One hand is now pioking in
my field from 100 to 150 pounds of cot
ton per dny, and I expect to have in Al
bany twenty or twenty-five bales by the
first of September. I do not look for
justice from everybody.
D. L. Jackson.
West Dougherty, Aug. 18, 11)01.
It is remembered that Deal Jaokson
brought to Albany about two weeks ago
what purportedjto be a bale of the new
crop cotton. It was Bold to the Georgia
Cotton Oo. and shipped to Savannah,
where the committee on classification in
the ootton exchange tnrned it down as
not genuine, claiming that the samples
showed a mixture of old and new oot
ton.
This deolsion of the exchange commit
tee has not been acquiesced in by a
nnmber of prominent ootton men in
this olty and in Savannah, and Deal
Jaokson himself declares that the first
bale was genuine. The card published
above is oertainly a very sensible one.
Jaokson Bent to Albany yesterday
another bale of his new orop. This, too,
was sold on A. W. Muse & Go’s, tables
to the Georgia Ootton Oo. and shipped
to Savannah, where it Bhonld have ar-'
rived today.
NO DOUBT ABOUT THIS BALE.
Deal Jackson Marketed the Pint Bale of New
Crop Cotton] After AH.
From Wednesday’s Daily Herald.
The following telegram wan rooeived
this morning by tho Georgia Ootton
Oo.:
Savannah, Ga., Aug. 14.
Georgia Ootton Oo., Albany.
Deal Jaokson’s second bale pro-
nonnoed first Georgia bale new orop.
Class, fall style tally middling. Sold at
anotion before ootton exohange at ten
cents. E. A. Outts.
Thus it is seen that Dougherty oounty
gets Georgia's first bale of new orop
ootton, in spite of the fact that the bale
she pat forward with that claim some
two weeks ago was tnrned down in Sa
vannah as a fake. Both these “first
bales” were marketed by Deal Jackson
the well known colored farmer of this
oounty. The second one was shipped to
Savannah on Monday, and seems to
have reaohed there in time to Oaptnre
the blue ribbon for the season of 1901-2,
It may here be added that the people of
this oity and section who know Deal
Jaokson do not believe that the bale he
brought/ to market two weeks ago, and
whloh was. subsequently turned down
by the Savannah Ootton Exchange, was
anything other than what he represent
ed it to be.
AMERICAN FAMILY MOBBED
la Amsterdam, Because the Crowd Mistook
Them lor English People.
Amsterdam, .Holland, Ang. 14.—An
Amerioan family named Patterson was
mistaken for English people and mobbed
at Leendwarden today. They escaped
by assuring the orowd that they were
of the United Btates. Americans in
Holland are having to wear Amerioan
medallons for protection.
From Thursday's Daily Hkhalo.
Oordele's aggregation of ball players
went down to defeat yesterday after
noon in the prosenoe of a large orowd of
enthusiastlo and thoroughly water-
soaked spectators. The defeat wan ad
ministered by the Albany team just
after the hard shower, and at a time
when the Albany rooters had about
arrived at the conclusion that Oordele
was going to lmvo things all her way.
This only sorved to moke the defeat
more bitter, however, and at the con-
olusion of tho first halt of the fifth
inning, when Albany swnng her third
man oaross tho home bag, it was avideut
that the locals had the visitors in a
groggy and thoroughly demoralized
condition.
Albany oarno to the bat first, and
while every man np hit the ball, no
runs wern made. In her half of the
first, Oordele Buoooeded in sending a
man across the home plate, and the
yells of the Oordele rooters oonld bo
heard for blooks. Albany again failed
to Boore in her part of the second inning,
while the visitors, by timely batting and
good base running, added another run
to their credit. The third inning was
interrupted by a terrific downpour of
rain, bnt not before Albany had a man-
on third base with no outs. After
the rain olouds had passed over, and
with the grounds thoroughly soaked,
the question of oontinulng the game
nnder the unfavorable conditions was
disonssed until the patience of the
drenched spectators was worn to a
frazzle.
It was finally decided, how
ever, to continue the game, and the Al
bany boys resumed the positions vaoatod
when the rain oame np. Albany soorod
two rnzis in her part of the interrnpted
inning, tying the aoore, and materially
dampening the enthusiasm of the Oor
dele rooters. Oordele failed to make*
run in her part of the third, and no
runs were made by either team in the
fourth. When Albany went to the bet
for her part of the fifth, they went after
Oordele's pitoher in a manner that was
distressingly painful to the visitors, bnt
by olever field work, the Oordeleans al
lowed only one run oredlted to the home
team. '
Thin ran gave Albany the lead,
and Oordele felling to make e ran in
her part of the fifth, the yelling lnoldent
to the game was done entirely by Al
bany rooters. The enoonragement
given the home men at this stage of the
game seemed to infnse new life Into them
while It appeared to have a demoraliz
ing effeot on the visitors, for when Al
bany started off the sixth Inning, she
virtually batted Oordele's pitoher ont of
the box. Every nun up hit the ball,
and the errors of the visitors and the
good base running of the looals netted
five runs for Albany. It was thought
when the sixth Inning was commenced
that it oonld be played ont before dark
ness, bnt the game was oalled by Um
pire Hall, with the oonsent of Cor-
deleans, on aooonnt of darkness, and
while Albany won the game by a score
of three to two, It is almost certain that
the soore would have been more unfa
vorable to the visitors had they been
able to play their part of the sixth.
Wheeler pitched a good, steady game
of ball for Albany, and was ably sup
ported by Groover, of Thomaaville, be
hind the bat.
The only feature of the gamo deserv
ing of mention was the eatoh of a high
foul fly by Groover in the fifth inning.
He had to run through a crowd to oatch
this ball, and the play was loudly
cheered by the spectators.
Mr. Harry Hall umpired the game,
and Ills deoisions gave satisfaction not
only to tho home team bnt to the visit
ors.
The Oordele baseball team and the
crowd of “rooters” returned home last
night on the speolal train over the
Albany Sc Northern Railway, whloh
brought them over yesterday.
