Mrs. T. J COBB KILLED THIS
AFTERNOON.
The home of Rev. T. J, Cobb
was made sad today by the hand
of God; by a bolt from heaven He
reached down and took the wife
and mother from the home.
At two o’clock this afternoon at
the beginning of a little thunder
storm which lasted only a few
minutes, lightning struck the
house, killing Mrs. Cobb, stunning
one of the liitle children and shat¬
tering the entire south end of the
house.
The family were all at home.
Mrs. Ccbb was in a front room as¬
sorting a lot of clothes which had
just been returned from the laun¬
dry ; Rev. Cobb was reading on
tho hack porch and the children
were playing about the house.
When Rev. Cobb heard the crash
in the front room, he rushed in to
find his wife already dead. The
little child was lying prostrate
upon the front porch, but soon re¬
vived.
RAILROAD MEETlNfl flONDAY.
The Statesboro & Register to be Given
a Forward Hovement.
The citizens of Statesboro, Reg¬
ister, Pulaski and Metter, aud all
others interested, ure requested to
attend the railroad meeting to be
held in the court houso Monday.
The business to be transacted is to
give a forward movement to the
building of the Statesboro & Reg¬
ister, the charter for which is now
being petitioned for.
Mr. F. T, Lockhart, the prime
mover in the new road, was in
Statesboro this week and to a
number of citizens who met him
in tho court nouse Tuesday morn¬
ing he stated that tho outlook for
the new road was very bright. He
said the right of way had been
secured to within a mile or two of
town, and that there would lie no
troutile about securing it for the
remaining distance He thinks
that the road would be a paying
investment from every standpoint
—that the stockholders would re¬
ceive good dividends on their
money and that property at States¬
boro and Register, as well as along
the route, would be greatly en¬
hanced in value by its operation.
As stated in a previous article,
the people living along the B, & P.
railroad above Register, have no
outlet to Savannah except up the
road to Stillmore or Bruton and
down again, which is a very cir
cuitious and at best inconvenient
route for passenger or frieght traf¬
fic. The proposed new road to
this place would be a great im¬
provement over this, as its con¬
nection at Statesboro with the
roads here would give almost di¬
rect connection to Savannah.
It is understood that one ob¬
jection urged against the new road
is that its building would shut off
the B. & P. from Statesboro should
those people ever decide to move
on from Register; but others con¬
tend that this move will spur the
B. & P. people to move at once,
and that they will make a deal
with the new road and come to
Statesboro themselves. All these
matters will be discussed at the
meeting Monday, and it is hoped
that everybody in the county who
is interested in the matter will
come to the meeting.

FOR DISTURBING A SCHOOL.
Mr. Elisha Bbwen Will Answer For
Such a Charge.
Mr. Elisha Bowen will be given
a preliminary trial at this place
next Thursday on a charge of
disturbing a public school. The
warrant was sworn out by Ned
Love (col.), and the school alleged
to have been disturbed was the
Love school (colored) near Enal.
The occasion was a school
“breaking up” there last Friday,
when the colored people were hav¬
ing a big day. It is said that Mr.
Bowen went there slightly under
the intluence of whiskey and by
his conduct proceeded to mar tho
pleasure of the day, ’on the
strength of which conduct a war¬
rant was sworn out for him and
he was arrested and gave bond for
his appearance to stand a prelimi¬
nary trial next week.
Some unknown writer has taken
it upon himself to write The Her¬
ald an account of (he affair, in
which he gives exciting details of
how Mr. Bowen went to Nod Love’s
house at nigirft... ...j. .j. ....l. 1 ’
Ned’s horse out of tho lot
put his horse in, and how the
of tho hause was so scared
she fled through the back
and closes with the state¬
that “a warut has l eon is¬
for Bowen and is surposo
lie will get the content ol the
law.” But such seems not to be
least the warrant
him only with disturbing
the school, as stated above.

vantage of Lanier’s closing-out
sale of a thousand pairs of shoes.
KILLED IN A COTTON GIN.
fir. M. V. Woodcock Sustained a
Fatal Accident.
Mr. M. V. Woodcock, of Fly,
one ol the best known citizens ol
tho county, was fatally injured in
his cotton gin about 8 o’clock last
Friday morning, from the effects
of which he died at ten o’clock
the same night.
Mr. Woodcock was not a regu¬
lar attendant at the gin, Imt in
passing he noticed that it was be¬
coming choked with the motes.
He reached his hand under tho
board to remove the obstacle, and
his shirt sleeve caught in the saw
and drew his hand and arm in to
the elbow before the machinery
cold be stopped. When his hand
was removed the bone and flesh
were found to be ground into
shreds to the elbow.
Drs. Samples & Rogers were
sent for, but when they arrived
the injured man was past hope,
haviug bled until his heart
almost ceased to beat. Restora¬
tives were applied and after sev¬
eral hours he was thought to be
sufficiently strong to undergo an
operation, when he was put to
sleep aud the arm removed near
tho shoulder; but so weak was he
from loss of blood and previous
slight sickness for a week that he
never regained consciousness, and
died at 10 o’clock at night.

TWO COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.
Toni Pressley and Jim Rowland to
Answer Charge of Murder.
Tom Pressley, Jiin Rowland and
Tom Bird were given a prelimi¬
nary trial before Judge Brannen
Wednesday charged with the mur¬
der of Will Boatright, at Regis¬
ter on the night of the 17th. The
first two were committed to jail to
await trial at October term of the
superior court, but Bird proved
an alibi and was released. He
was immediately arrested, how¬
ever, on a charge of petty lar¬
ceny (having stolen a coat from
Mr. J. F. Olliff at Excelsior on
the day . Boatright was killed),
plead guilty and was sentenced to
the chaingang for nine months
The evidence against Pressley
and Rowland is only circumstan¬
tial, but quite strong. They were
seen with tho deceased negro on
the night before he was killed, and
admit gambling with him near
where he was found dead until a
late hour at, night They say that
when they quit gambling they aR
♦J****'- started back to Register,
when they mot two men who wore
strangers to them but with whom
Boatright was acquainted; that
they walked on and left Boatright
talking with these two men, and
that was the last seen of him.
This was after midnight Friday
night.
Boatright was found about sun¬
down Saturday evening only a few
steps from the railroad in tho rear
of John A. Nevils’ field by a negro
named Williams. His skull was
crushed on one side with some
heavy instrument, besides a hole
through his head indicating that
he had been shot with a pistol.
The day the man was found dead
a car coupling pin was missed
from the station at Register, and
after a search a day or two later
it was found on the log by which
the dead negro was found. A close
inspection revelled one strand of
negro hair on the pin, which ap¬
parently makes it conclusive that
that was the weapon of death.

RESIDENCES FIRED BY LIGHTNING.
Two Struck Saturday Night And One
of Them Destroyed.
During the thunder storm about
half past ten o’clock Saturday
night two houses in Statesboro
were firod by lightning and one of
them entirely destroyed, being a
cottage on South Main street be¬
longing to Mrs. Moore, of Scar
boro, and occupied by Mr. W. J.
W.lson. Thero are two theories
as to this fire, one being that it
was started by rats and tho other
that a bolt of lightning did the
work.
The family were asleep at the
time the fire started, and wheu
they awoke the blaze had gone
through the ceiling and had reach¬
ed tho roof. It was seen that no
effort could save the house, so at¬
tention was turned to removing
tho furniture, all of which except
a couple of bed steads was saved.
The house was insured for $800.
The other fire, which started
about tho same time, was in a tene¬
ment house in East Statesboro be¬
