SHOOTING IN EMAUEL.
R. W. beloaeh Charged With Using
A Winchester On Finer.
Just across the border line di¬
viding Bulloch and Em tunic 1 coun¬
ties, a man by the name of Finer
was shot last Friday. News of the
affair was brought to town, and
retailed quite freely on the streets
here, connecting ex-represen 1 ative
R. W. Deloach witli tk% shooting.
The-story was quite sensational in
its features, a woman being in the
case, and ran about as follows:
Finer, who has been a tenant
upon the farm of Mr. Deloach,
charged the latter with undue in¬
timacy with his wife, and threat¬
ened Deloach’s life. Deloach sent
a friend to Piner and enticed him
away from home, secreted himself
by the roadside, and 'then, while
Piner was walking along home,
alone, after having parted with this
accomplice of Deloaeh, the latter
named gentleman raised up from
the bushes and sent six Winches¬
ter balls through the body of Pin¬
er, while the latter begged for his
life. It was also reported that
warrants had been sworn out for
Deloach and his accomplice, Al¬
gerine Williams, and that the two
accused were dodging the officers
of the law, while Finer was hang¬
ing between life and death.
Mr. Deloach was in town Tues¬
day of this week, and called at the
TimII? office for the purpose of
making life statement in regard to
the matter. He,says 'made that Piner is
a bad mao, and some ugly
and unfounded accusations against
his t?bnsel)f wife and Deloach, such and conduct¬
ed in a way generally
that he. had to put Finer off his
place and secure another tenant to
carry on the farm work under¬
taken by Piner, He afterwards
was told that Piner had threaten¬
ed his life, and has been endeavor¬
ing to keep out of the latter’s wav,
and went before an officer and
swore out a warrant for Piner.
Williams and Piner were riding
together a few days ago, and just
after they separated, Piner leaving
Williams’s buggy and setting out
home on foot, some one shot Piner
from ambush, inflicting a slight
flesh wound in the shoulder. The
wounded man charges Deloach
with the shooting, and has taken
out warrants for both Deloach and
Williams, charging that the latter
abetted in the affair by taking him
to the location where he knew De¬
loach was concealed. From some
reasofi the officer had not been in
hurry about serving the papers
in his hands; but the ac¬
had not been in hiding, and
ready to appear for a hearing
wanted.
The finest line of Clothing
seen in Statesboro, to be found

anteed and quality unsurpassed.
The editor-in-chief returned
from his excursion with the Geor¬
gia editors last Monday, and re¬
ports a most enjoyable trip. The
only thing that tended to mar the
pleasure of the occasion was the
tact that his appetite was slightl>
“offish,” and positively refused to
relish the water which Texas peo¬
ple persist in supplying to* their
guests. He was really glad to get
back to Georgia, to the luxury, of
a first class article of “Adam’s Ale.”

ANOTHER COLD SPAT.
The cold wave which pass j d over
this section last Saturday and Sun¬
day, was line greatest surprise the
weather bureau' has .sent this way
in some years—right on the eve of
summer the mercury dropping to
near 40 °, with light frosts Sunday
and Monday mornings.
A cool drizzling rain Saturday
was followed by a regular Match
wind, which continued to blow
until near midnight, when it calm¬
ed sufficient for the dew to fall
which made the fro9t. This wind
did greater damage to the growing
cotton and corn than did the frosts,
twisting and bending the stalks
considerably. While these crops
were really hurt, the damage will
amount to nothing more than a
set back of two or three weeks. ,
The “oldest inhabitant” says
that so remarkable a cold spell
this late in the spring, is without
parallel since some time in the
’30’s, when about this time of the
year king cotton and every other
growing crop was cleaned out.

I hereby call a mass meeting of
