Waters & Griuer, at Har ville, who, it is understood, are constantly adding to their large stock of general merchandise. It is estimated that the cotton acreage planted in Bulloch this year is about 20 per cent greater than last year. The unfavorable seasons, lioYvever, haY-ecut it down until the crop will be very little, if any, larger than that of last year. This is the season of the year when spring chickens are out of reach of common mortals.

Simmons, who recent ly so{d 100 acres Q f his farm ad joining the toYvn to Messrs. J. N. Akins ard F. D. Olliff for $3,000, has about abandoned the idea of moving further from town, and may shortly build a nice neYV res idence ol. the road near Mr. D. C. Proctor’s. Statesboro and Bulloch county are becoming uoted for the great number of fine horses being sold here. Throughout the county there are numbers of fine horses ranging in value from $200 to $300 and Messrs. Smith & Olliff have recently brought iu one that they are holding at $800. Mrs. A. Moore is selling regular $1.60 ladies’ dress shoes at $1.10. Our Rufus correspondent reports that the Foy road is still heading this way, which confirms the belief of some that it wil 1 be the third railroad to reach Statesboro, and from here it will proceed to Reg¬ ister, forming the connecting link between the Bruton A’ Pineora and the Central to SaY’auuah. For the reason that the people are too busy at present to bother with politics, Judge Brannen has decided that it will be best not to call the democratic mass meeting, for the purpose of deciding on the best method of nominating candi¬ dates for county offices, earlier than the first Monday in July.

Those engaged in the business lay that there lias been from 20 to 25 per cent more guano sold in Bulloch county this year than last, though the fact that so much cot tou seed, which has heretofore been used as fertilizer, has been shipped away from the county, makes it probable that the total amount of fertilizer used is no greater than last year. For the last two weeks J have advertised my stock at “Cut Prices,” but from uoyv on I yy ill sell at Actual Cost, and some things under cost. Please note prices quoted in this paper. Mrs. A. Moore.

In the meeting it was unani¬ mously decided to alloYV the names of all white voters to remain on the registration lists, nucl in case of a doubt of any voter’s intention to support the democratic nomi¬ nees in the future, to require a pledge from him to do so. Lists were made out from the books and copies have been sent to the Y’arious districts for the guidance ance of the managers of the elec¬ tion. Leaving off the colored voters, there were 1,046 registered. The general opinion is that not more than seven hundred votes will be SCHOOL HOUSE BURNED. A Probable Enemy of the Teacher Abruptly Ends the School. Mr. W. T. Seibels, who is teach¬ ing about three miles from town, went to open school on last Mon¬ day morning he found the school house in ashes. The fire appears to have been started about mid¬ night Sunday night, and was first seen by Mrs. Isabel Mikell, Yvho lives nearest the building. She sounded the alarm but to no avail, as the building Yvas too far gone to be saved. The fire Yvas doubtless set by a midnight incendiary, as none had beeu in the house siuce Yvarin Yveather came. The building Yvas owned by Mr. Frank Manes, and was probably worth $150. It had been used ns a dwelling but Yvas not insured. Mr. Seibels lost books and other property to the amount of ten or fifteen dollars, He declines to say whom he suspects applied the torch. The school lucked a month and a half of being finished, and it is said that the teacher had en¬ joyed the warm support of the community since he opened the school. lioYvever, it is apparent that some person took it upon him self for some reason to thus bring the school to an abrupt euding. TRIED TO KILL HIS LADY. John Stewart Accidently (?) Shot Amelia Williams Twice. Amelia Williams was shot twice seriously wounded in the back shoulders by John Stewart Tuesday morning, ou the D. & S. railroad, between Clito and Dover, Both parties ace colored, John say’s that Amelia is his wife, and that lie has the marriage license at his home to prove that they were married in Tattnall county ten years ago, Amelia de¬ nies that she has ever married John, but admits that they have been living together for several years until lie quit her about a month ago. She says that she told him that if he did not come back to her she was going to mar¬ ry’ another man, and that upon his refusal to do so she proceeded to carry her threat into execution, To that end on Monday night she and a negro named Capers decided to “pull their freight,” and com¬ ing from Register to Statesboro they set out afoot for Screven county early Tuesday morning. Stewart got on trail of the pair, and, overtaking them beyond Clito, as stated, he began to call a halt. He claims that Capers fired the first shot with a pistol, and that he then shot at Capers with a shot gun. Amelia was standing near Capers, he says, and a couple of scattering shot h.t her in the face. The couple then turned to run and the woman slipped and tell, at which time Stewart fired another shot at Capers, which Amelia caught in the shoulders by rising to her feet as the shot was fired. From this statement, it will be observed that Stewart claim - to have hit the woman accidentally both times in an effort to defend himself from Capers’ pistol shots. However, Amelia contends that both loads were fired deliberately at her. After the shooting, Capers pro¬ ceeded on his journey alone at a rapid gait, but John and Amelia returned on the incoming train to Statesboro. John went in search of a physician to attend the wounded woman, and while lie was out in quest of one she sent for an officer and had him arrest¬ ed, He was given a preliminary trial before Judge Brannen, and in default of bond was sent to jail. Sotbern’a Recitation. Sir Edward Bussell knew K. A. Both era. the actor, Intimately aud In his book, “That Reminds Me,” tells many stories of him. He was ilininx at Portsmouth or somewhere at a regimental mess to which the officers liail asked him with every show of the highest admiration and with no appearance of social su¬ periority. After dinner, as the party sat at wine, one of the officers asked Sotlieru to give them a recitation. Now, Sotliern abominated that kind of thing. He wouldn’t tolerate beiug treated as an entertainer Yvhen he was by way of being treated ns a gentleman. He coldly declined. They pressed him. He hotly declined. Still they pressed him. lie expressed his feelings. Per¬ haps the officers were a little affected by wine. At all events they persist¬ ed. They would take no denial. At last he said in a manner which showed that he Yvas nettled, but yet yielding: "Well, if you won’t let me off I must. I’ll give you the dinner scene from 'David Garrick.’ ” He did. He bad never acted It bet¬ ter. They were delighted until, spring¬ ing to his feet, be made his wild, tipsy exit, just as he did on the stage, and dragged the cloth off the table and with it. all the regiment’s prized des¬ sert china and decanters and glasses, etc. Great was the smash. The actor did not wait to be applauded or to im¬ prove the occasion. The lesson was, in¬ deed, a rough one, and probnbly only a man with some roughness in his dar¬ ing humor would have given it, but It was quite deserved. in all contentions between wit and violence, prudence and rudeness, learn¬ ing and the sword, the strong hand took It first, and the strong head pos¬ sessed It last Excursion to Tybee.

Matters of Importance Now Being Discussed by That Body. The town council licit) the regu lur monthly meeting night, when the question dt rais¬ ing finances for a couple of very important m.t *rpri«es, tvns dis¬ cussed at lei gth. The town having voted almost unanimously in favor of $ 10,000 school purposes, the question of paying otf these Loads in install¬ ments is a serious one. For the next live years. $1,000 a year must be raised by taxation, and how to do it in a manner that will be most equitable is the problem that vexes. The members are now giv¬ ing their best efforts toward per¬ fecting a plan that will be just to all, and it will probably bo per¬ fected at the next meeting. A step that is most worthy of commendation, is that to improve the cemetery lot, which is badly in need of attention. An order has been given for eighteen hundred feet of very beautiful and durable cemetery fencing, which will be put around the lot at an early date. Among the other matters dis¬ cussed at Tuesday’ night’s meeting was tln> passage of an ordinance prohibiting children under the age of fifteen years from walking on the railroads unless sent o;i the business, or in company with some grown person. A committee was appointed to draft an ordinance embodying these provisions. The application of Mr. W. I). Davis fora franchise for a number of years for his water-works sys¬ tem, was denied. »)► f -t* BROUGHT BACK FROM FLORIDA. Sheriff Donaldson Went to Bartow for W. D. Cason, Wanted in Buiioch. Sheriff Donaldson returned last Sunday from a brief trip to Bar¬ tow, Fla., where he ivent after Walter D. Cason, the young man Yvlto assaulted a Mr. Barwick Yvith a pocket knife in this county about eighteen months ago. Cason hail been engaged the phosphate business for several months, until he was arrested there last week and held for the arrival of Sheriff Donaldson. He returned with the sheriff Yvitlumt objection* and was released Tuesday morning on bond arranged by his father, Yvho came down from Burke county the even¬ ing before. The particulars of t,he crime for which Cason was arrested may be fresh in the minds of many of our readers. If is family and Bar vick’s, it seems, were neighbors. Trouble arose between the old gentleman Bnnvick and Walter Cason, when the latter plunged his knife into the back of liur Yvick’s neck and cut around to bis throat, which wound only by a imracle failed to prove fatal.
