It is a matter of general com¬
ment that thero are too many
negro quarters in this town, and
that they continue to spring up.
There are now not less than ten,

own real estate for sale or rent are
not only encumbering that prop¬
erty, but are depreciating from
the value of that adjoining, by
thus scattering these cheap houses
all over the town. lt’ time to look
into this.

That Peixouing Affair.
In the coroner’s investigation
of the poisoning of the negro Mor¬
gan Wilson in the Finch neighbor
hood ten da vs ago, suspicion point
d to u ..,, Elllit Par .
rieli (a son of old “Dick Sifter”),
and they were both arn Ted later
and lodged in jail. It has not
been ascertained exactly wliat the
trouble was between the darkies,
but it appears that there was some
rivalry between Wilson and Bivens
over the hand of a dusky damsel.
It is told that Bivens “fixed” a
drink of whiskey and told Parrish
to give it to Wilson, who drank it
and died a few hours afterwards,
A post mortem examination show
cd strychnine in the dead man's
stomach. Parrish says he knew
of nothing wrong with the whiskey
when he gave it to Wilson.

While in Swainsboro last week
we heard a little railroad talk
which, whether true or not, is
interesting to State.Boro, it was
to the effect that since the build¬
ing of the Brow ten & Pineora had
been stopped by injunction, the
plan is to build the road on to
this -place and have a consolida
lion with tho Savannan & State.<
boro, the Central to own the whole
thing. It is said that a two-mile
spur is now being built across the
river at Meld'dm, connecting with
the Central and making the S. &
S. entirely independent of the
G. & A. This information was
given to us second-handed from
one of the attaches of the road.
It is to lie hoped that this much
of it is true—that the B. & P. is
to coma on to Statesboro and con¬
nect with the S. & S.

JTrs. Skinsacr Dead.
Mrs. Elizabeth Skinner died at
her home in the southern part of
town last Thursday afternoon,
after only about a week’s indispo
sition. The interment at the town
cemetery the next afternoon was
attended by one of the largest
hat ever attended a
burial there, showing the high
esteem in which the deceased was
held by tho citizens of the town,
Mrs. Skinner was one of the
oldest citizens of the town, being
between sixty and seventy years
of age. Her death was not pro
ceeded by any serious illness, but
seemed to- ho due to old age, her
only complaint during hor con
finemont to her bed being that she
felt fatigued.
Em years Mrs. Skinner has
made herself handy about the sick¬
bed of her neigbors, and they
loved her dearly. Every few
weeks they'remembered her with
baskets of provisions and. delica¬
cies, to which the whole neighbor
hood cheerfully contributed.
She is at rest.

but as there was no wan ant for

willing to tho arrangement and
he was not taken. Oil this occa

By the time the sheriff got
around the mule, Bivens had

escape,
Now, Bivens reckoned that the
sheriff had enough of him, and
that he would never be bothered
again after the experience of that
day; but ho reckoned amiss—
Donaldson was more determined
than ever to take him, and lie
went back early Monday morning
to } ut his plan into execution,
Ho found his man again at the
plow, and he sneaked up on hun
while he plowed, When t lie
negro’s hack was lamed, Jonn
did his sneaking; and when he
faced about at the end of the
row, John laid down. Finally,
just as the sheriff had decided to
order Bivens to holdup his hands
when be should approach hipi
again, the negro stopped at the
further end of the row, unhitched
his mule from the plow and rode
off to tho house; but when he
got lucre, the sheriff was there
also, having run across the field
and headed him off; and as Bivens
came out of the lot from putting
up his mule, he confronted the
sheriff’s Winchester and readily
responded to the order to hold up
hi:; hands.
Bivens is regarded as a dan¬
gerous negro, and it is said that
after he evaded the sheriff on
Thursday he made an effort to
borrow a Winchester, declaring
that ho was going to defend him¬
self against arrest.
While the sheriff was lying in
ambush Monday morning waiting
for a chance to take Bivens, the
other negro implicated in the
poisonir g, Emit Parrish, and for
whom lie also had awirrant, came
strolling leisurely along the road
a few yards away, and he readily
held his hands over his head wh en
ordered to do so. lie was chained
to waited Hie buggy near by, where he
pat ientlv for a few minutes,
when lie was joined by his pal and
the sheriff. Both negroes are now
in jail at this place.
