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. DEATH AT MOULTRIE :W*9!“*'4tormer Tifteilts—News Notts Prom Thriving Tilton.

Albany Boys Won Out by Superior Playing. 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. com* «o iHTorly I could only walk in the house by the aid of a chair, and I got so thin I had HA/o die, thinking that I could not be cured.
