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 the World’s Fair Store. Fit guar¬ 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.

He was really glad to get back to Georgia, to the luxury, of a first class article of “Adam’s Ale.” WOOL! WOOL! We pay the highest market price for wcol, and sell everything at rockbofctom figures.

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.
