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, J, S. GONE CAMP U. C.

They turned out in large numbers and a camp of about a hundred members was established, The meeting was held in the court room at 2 o’clock in tha afteiv noon. Capt. S. H. Kennedy was called to the chair and Capt. W. N.

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.
