His Prisoner T is liu
Hilt Wa
Constable John Ellis, of the
,
Club-House district, brought a
negro man Hosie Watkins, to jail
here last Thursday, charged with
“shooting at another not in his
♦own defense.” He had had a row
with a colored brother, and, in a
fit of passion, put a pistol ball
into his thigh us lie ran off. But
that is of no unusual occurrence,
and is not the story which interests
the public.
The more important feature of
Hosiers conduct is that he resisted
the officer who went to arrest him,
«nd came near shooting him with
’his own gun. Mr, John Ellis is
the constable for 45th district,
and he had an exciting experience
in making the arrest, Watkins
had a small pistol on his person
'Which he readily surrendered when
Ellis brought his breech-loader to
bear. Things wont smoothly for
some time, and the oflmer and
prisoner were walking along peace
ably together when the negro sud¬
.
denly grabbed hold of the gun
(Carried by the constable and a
fight for its possession ensued.
The two men had it rough-and
tumble for some minutes, It was
a desperatejstruggle in which one
man was fighting for bis life and
1 for his liberty; but the
the other
white man held his grip on the
shooting iron with one hand and
pounded the negro in the face
with the other, until they both
lost their hold on the gun and it
was dropped to the ground, Still
they'continued to scuffle until Mr.
Ellis remembered the negro’s pis¬
tol which-he had in his pocket,
and,-drawing it, the negro surren
derod. ,
Mr. Ellis’ friends congratulate
him on his victory, for if the
negro had seciired control of the
shotgun he would certainly ha\c
used it on the officer.
THE CHECK WAS CASHED.
Given to Williams to Mail and Was
e Cashed When Heard From.
Two weeks ago G, W. M. Wil
liams, jr., was over from Bam
berg, S. C., making arrangements
to raise the $150-fine imposed upon
Ins father in Screven county for
cheating and swindling. The
' senior Williams had appealed the
case and had given bond. The
' bond had been forfeited and his
bondsman had gone to Bamberg
to bring him back to Screven.
Failure of the officer to bring Wil¬
liams has already been mentioned
in these columns.
As. stated, however, G. W. M.
Williams, jr., followedthe.officurs
over here and spent nearly a week
i. m an effort to raise the money to
pay his father’s fine. On the
morning of h’s departure Rev.
D. F. Riley was sending a check
to his wife, who is iu Atlanta.
His son, who reached the post
office after the north-bound mail
had closed, met Williams at the
depot and asked him to mail the
letter at Dover, explaining that it
contained money of which his
mother was in need, Williams
kindly agreed to mail the letter.
After a few days Rev. Riley re¬
ceived a letter from his wife in¬
quiring why he had not sent her
money. He wrote her that he
had mailed her a check on a cer¬
tain date. Again she wrote him
that it had never been received.
Then he suspected something was
wrong and he telegraphed his
commission house in Oincinnati,
from whom he had received the
check, asking that they stop the
payment of the check until he
could investigate. Two days later
which was last Sunday, he receiv
letter from them to the effect
1 i kS h rs *>fi
It u\
berg, S. C., and apparently bore
the endorement of “Mrs. J). F.
Rilev,” followed by that of “G. W.
Williams.”
The check was for $44.50, which
will be refunded by the Bamberg
bank upon evidence that Mrs,
Riley’s signature was forged,

After the completion of the list
of members an election of officers
was held,which resulted as follows:
Captain—Sol Akins.
Lieutenants—J. S. Ilagins, Hi¬
ram Franklin, J. F. Rawls, E. W.
Hodges. Adjutant—A, W. Stewart.
Quartermaster—D. C. Proctor.
J. A. Nevils.
V3
\ > If
Sgt.-Major—J. C. Crumley.
Officer of the day—J. S Cone.
Color Sargeant—J. R. Hall.
Vidette-;- G. R. Beasley.
Color Guards—Jas. Bland and
M. J. Green.
The selection of a name for
camp was next in order, and it
was decided to cull it “The .T. S.
Cone Cauip,” in honor of
Cone* who is now ranking
of the Confederate Army in
loch county, holding a commis¬
sion as Lieutenant-Colonel, Major
Cone is still an unreconstructed
“Reb,” and is proud of the name;
and the honor sought to be con¬
ferred in naming the camp for
him is worthily bestowed.
The purpose of the organization
is to got in shape to attend the
reunion to be held in Savannah
next November, and the camp
will be continued after, holding
meetings at least once a year.
Only ten cents per annum is
charged as a membership fee,
which funds will go to defay the
expenses attendant upon the re¬
union.
Power was conferred upon Capt.
Akins for arranging the details of
the trip to Savannah this fall,
and to call a meeting of the camp
at this place about two weeks be¬
fore that time in order that those
who propose to attend will under¬
stand the program.
Among those whose names ap
pear in the above roll of member¬
ship, it is interesting to note that
seventeen are from Co. E. ath Ga.
Cav.—more than from anv other
company. These are: R. W. and
Z. T. DeLoach, W. J. and M. B.
Wilson, W. A. and E. W. Hodges,
W. N. and and J. R. Hall, Ansel
Alderman, A. W. Stewart, J. D.
Ford, C. Gay, G. R. Beasley, M.
Miller, J. Zetterower, Eli Kenne¬
dy and D. J. Brinson.
Capt. Sol. Akins’ old company
—Co. I, 9th Ga. Infantry-—is rep¬
resented by himself, C. S. Martin,
Ira Dickerson, Isaiah Parrish
John Bowen, D. C. Proctor and
E, S. Thompson—seven.
The Veterans and their friends
return thanks to Eld. Stubbs and
others who so thoughtfully pre
pared a couple of barrels of ice
cold lemonade which was lavishly
dispensed to them by the clever
Charlie Cumming after the ai
journment of the meeting.
JEROME JOTTINGS.
The present outlook
that the cotton crop will soon
harvested.
The picnic season is nearly past
and we regret to know that
will be no fish fries until
season.
Mr. J. W. Graham informs us
as a matter of news that he killed
a black snake near his blacksmith
shop recently.
The Foy railroad is being built
from Egypt in this direction.
Quite a trestle it is that spands
Ogeechee and extends through the
swamp on the Bulloch side, Mr.
Foy is not sparing any effort in
pushing the road, and hopes to be
able to haul timber over it by the
first of November.
A series of tent meetings are
being held at New Hope church
under the .auspices of Revs. Phil¬
lips and Thomas,
News is scarce at present, which
fact we regret very much. No
lynching to report this time, no
scandals afloat now, no falling out
among neighbors, no mobbing of
a school teacher; no deaths, no
fights, no runaways—in short,
nothing. We would suggest to
our conservative, law-abiding citi¬
zens to take on some life and be
recognized by the world as “up to
snuff.” Little Boots.
