At Caleb, Rockbridge district, George Echols (col.) met his death Sunday evening at the hands of Benjamin Day, a con stable of Rockdale county, while resisting arrest. Day had come over into Gwin nett to arrest Echols, who was charged with a misdemeanor in Rockdale county, and was under taking to make the arrest when Echols resisted. Echols was drink ing, and when the officer told him to consider himself under arrest, the negro became insolent and said, (so witnesses to the affair state) that “No G—d — white man should arrest him.” R.X. C. Weaver and D. P. Moore had been summoned by the con stable to assist him in making the arrest, and were present when the killing occurred. Their testimony before the cor oner seems to justify the officer in the killing, for they both swore that Echols resisted arrest and picked up a rock to throw at Day, saying that he would not be ar rested, and that Day would either kill him or he would kill Day if he attempted to take him iu cus tody. He asked Day to show his warrant, which tiie officer refused to do. The officer pulled his pistol and fired the fatal shot, just as Echols picked up a rock and threw at him, according to the testimony of Moore and Weaver. The ball entered the left breast, and is supposed to have penetra ted the heart, as Echols never spoke after being shot. The shoot ing occurred in the public road in front of R. C. C. Weaver’s house, at Caleb postoffice. Coroner Wilson was notified of the killing, and ou Monday went down to the scene to hold an in quest over the dead body. The following jury was empaneled and sworn: W. F. Brady, foreman; C. G. Hannah, J. M. Guess, C. H. Livesay, J. T. Campbell. R. P. Ferguson, D. W. Clower, A. D. Freeman, A. V. Kenuett, G. Ma son, D. R. McDaniel and Benj. Davis. After hearing the evidence the jury returned a verdict that Echols met his death from a pistol shot, fired by the hand of Benjamin Day. The v* rdict neither justified nor condemned the killiing. It simply stated the cause of death, and at whose hands. Opinion is divided as to whether Day was justified in the killing. Echols was a hard working, in dustrious negro, with a family, and owned a farm near Centrevillo, where he has lived for several years. He had the respect of his white neighbors, but at times got drunk when he became overbear ing and insolent. Day is a blacksmith and former ly lived at Ceutreville. Last year he moved to Rockdals county, just across the Gwinnett line, and at the recent election was chosen one of the constables of his district. Day has been arrested, but has not been brought into Lawreuce ville. It is supposed that he has either been released on bond by the magistrate, or discharged. Echols was charged with insult ing a lady in Rockdale county, and it was for this offense that Day was attempting to arrest him when he was killed. OASTORIA.

SNELLVILLt Special to THE NEWS. Th* following loiter wam intended for Uat week, but arrived too Ute for publication. Uncle Ellsbury Rutledge is ly ing at the point of death at this writing with LaGrippe. Mrs, J. W. Brownlee and Biddy Cofer are not any better. Uncle Wash Brownlee is very feeble. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have re turned to Mrs. Snell’s. W. C. Cofer and wife paid rela tives a visit last Sunday at our towu. The literary school is averaging about 36 pupils in attendance. E. C.

A number of our people are hauling potatoes to the Atlanta market Pigs are in great demand 1n onr neighborhood; any section that is over supplied can find ready sales here. • Girls are rather scarce, on ac count of the many marriages this wintor; a few visiting girls might make it very pleasant to the old bachelors. A handsome set of mustache has suddenly departed from off Chas. Rawlins’ face. A liberal reward for their arrest or detention. We recently received a question as to whether those old bachelors w»re good conditioned or not. We suppose they want to know wheth er they are fat or lean. They are fair to middling. There was a quilting, birthday dinner and party at George Con ner’s recently, that ought to have appeared hi last week’s dots, but as we did not get any ot the tur key we failed to hear of it in time. Excuse me, please. The election passed off very quietly. There were three candi dates for J P., to-wit: J. M. Williams, J. H. Britt and A. A. Cole. The vote, as furnished us by one of the candidates, was as follows: J. H. Britt, 72; J. M Williams, 46; A. A. Cole, 10. There was also an election to see who should run before the grand jury for Notary Public. G. W Pharr and F. M. Henderson were candidates. Mr. Pharr received 92 votes, and Mr. Henderson 38. The crowd was certainly sour, for it took 25 pounds of candy to sweeten them up after the elec tion, and its said that G.P. John son filled his pockets and Uncle Dave Rawlins filled his boot leg in the time of it. One of the de feated candidates was around be fore the election, not particularly electioneering but the people the next J. I’. Don’t feel that way now, do you Mack ?

Prof. Whitworth reports about 40 pupils in attendance this week. Rev. S. H. Braswell filled his regular appointments Saturday and Sunday at the M. E. church. It seems from what we can gath er that there is likely to be trouble at our ville next Saturday, the cause being a misunderstanding be tween the road commissioners,and between the road commissioners and the county commissioners,and between the road commissioners and overseers, and between over seers and hauds. In fact, a gener al misunderstanding about cutting out a road from T. A. Pate’s to the late residence of Calaway Ford. Ahout forty hands have received notice to appear tefore road com missioners’ court. Some think T. A. Pate to blame, others think the county commissioners to b ame. The road was cut, so why not drop the whole matter ? Men may have violated the road laws, but what will it benefit any one to be ar raigned before the court and prob ably cost something to gratify the wrath of one party, when, if sifted to the bottom, all parties are to blame. Drop the matter. OABTORIA. Burt th. /I b>« Kind You Hare Always BougM Macon county gave a majority of 350 for anti-prohibition. Don’t wreck a Life!

I then started through the country, walking to Judson, a distance of forty miles. The country is thinly settled, and I became very lonesome, but final ly a gentleman drove up and in vited me to ride with him, which I gladly done. We rode to his home, a distance of 15 miles, where 1 spent the night. My next stop was at Judson, where I met two of my, old Gwinnett friends, Luther Yanby and Dan George, and it is needless to say I was overjoyed at seeing them. 1 spent the week hunting and fishing, but I didn’t see Grover. I left for Tampa, a distance of two hundred miles, in a rickety wagon, driving a shabby horse, and accompanied by a hard-shell preacher, who was also a doctor. At night we camped out, but as I had heard a great deal of bears and panthers, I did not sleep much. However, as the doctor was well supplied with his favorite prescription, moonshine, we got along fairly well. Deer, turkeys and small game are plen tiful, and I anticipate a nice time. Joe Ethkidoe.
