—Walton News,
Owing to the bountiful rain that
has fallen in this immediate vi
cinity, and the scarcity of it in
other parts of the county, the
opinion prevails that Lawrence
ville people “pay the preacher.”
We certainly have been blessed
with good seasons, be the cause
what it may, while other sections
are burning up for the want of
rain.

With respects, I am, your friend,

The Sunday school celebration
as the camp ground Saturday was
attended by a representative gath
ering of the schools who partici
pated. The address wus delivered
by Prof. W. H. Maxwell, who ac
quitted himself in fine style. His
speech was replete with sound
reasoning and was well received
by his hearers. All the schools
participating rendered their parts
excellently, and the day was most
pleasantly spent by all present.
An immense water tank with
100,000 gallons capacity is being
erected at the Seaboard depot.
It will be the biggest tank on the
Seaboard system, and is to be
equipped with a standpipe and the
latest modern improvements, en
abling trains to take water going
and coming. All trains will step
here for refreshments, as the water
supply will be inexhaustible. The
water is to be pumped from Col.
Pe6ple’s pasture, near by.
We see by the Macon papers
that Col. John R. Cooper, who is
well known here as a Gwinnett
boy, is still forging to the front as
a criminal lawyer. One of his
latest exploits is the procurement
of a new trial for a negro who had
been convicted of murder and was
already in the peuiteutiary serving
out a life sentence. It is predict
ed that at the next trial Col. Coop
er will get his client out scot free,
or with a light sentence at most.
He is as tenacious as the prover
bial turtle, and when he once gets
interested in a case never lets go
till the sun sets.
James T. Swords, Lester Wat
kins and Henry Davis, of this
place, left Sunday night for At
lanta where they went to enlist in
the army for the Philippine Is
lands. As they have not returned
the supposition is “they are off.”
Bud Daniel, Baugh Daniel and
Jack Davis also went down for the
purpose of enlisting, but like Job’s
war-horse, they “sniffed the battle
from afar” and wisely concluded
to try old Lawrenceville a little
while longer.— Later, All the “sol
diers” have returned to the pa
rental roof except Watkins, and he
is expected soon.
Messrs. McKelvey have received
from the Southern shops the nar
row guage engine, which has been
thoroughly repaired, repainted
and made good as new. It is now
a “daisy" and in thorough order
for the fall campaign of business.
The trestles along the road have
been strengthened, and new rails
are being placed at several points.
Messrs. McKelvey are doing a
great deal of improvements on the
road, and our business men should
further encourage them with a
liberal patronage. On the life of
this little road depends a great
deal fcr Lawrenceville, and our
business men cannot afford to see
it go down.
A party of young people, con
sisting of Misses Mary Hutch

the camp ground Tuesday evening
picnicing. The young ladies had
prepared an elegant spread, which
was made way with just in time to
keep it from suffering a dreuching
rain. While the trip returning
was not so dusty as could have
been, yet every one seemed to have
enjoyed a very pleasant time.
A “hayseed” from Hall county
was in town last Friday. He was
of an inquisitive turn of mind
aud when he visited the Seaboard
depot plied the workmen digging
the foundation of the big stand
pipe with many questions, as to
what they were doing. Henry
McDaniel, who happened to be
present, told him they were dig
ging Mr. St. John’s grave, that he
had died suddenly and was to be
buried there the following day,and
that President McKinley was to
attend the funeral. The Hall
county man took all this in dead
earnest and when he left town
told the story to all whom he met
as he wended his way homeward.
The next day several parties from
Hog Mountain came down to at
tend the funeral, aud were some
what disappointed when they were
told that it was all a joke.

'SERIOUS SHOOTING SCRAPE.
Harbins District the Scene of a Bloody
Riot.
Thursday of last week a bloody
row occurred near Tribble’s mill,
in Harbins district of this county,
as the result of which Tom Toler,
a young white mau, is seriously
wounded, and Walter Whisenaut
is cut nigh unto death.
The particulars as we gather
them are about as follows:
The two above named parties
were with a fishing party who
were at McGuire’s mill fishing, all
somewhat under the influence of
liquor.
When the fish were being pre
pared for dinner, a quarrel arose
between Whisenaut and Toler and
some hot words were passed,
Whisenant using some pretty
rough language. However, by
standers interfered and the angry
men were kept apart. After the
dinner had been served and the
party had started on their way
back to Harbins district, the two
men came together again near
Tribble’s mill and the quarrel was
renewed with increased vigor.
Toler used his knife and cut
Whisenant 27 times, inflicting
severe wounds on various parts of
his body. Bystanders called upon
Whisenant to defend himself with
his pistol, and after he was cut
almost to death he pulled his pis
tol from his hip pocket and open
ed fire on his antagonist with
deadly aim. The ball pierced his
body just above the bowels, going
through and coming out at the
back.
It was reported here Tuesday
that Toler was dead, but this
proved to be a mistake. At last
accounts both he and Whisenant
were improving, and both are on
the road to recovery.
A young man named Wages,
the sou of John M. Wages, a
brother-in-law to Toler, is also
implicated in the affair. He was
arrested and placed under bond
for the part he took in the row.
It is said there has been ill-feel
ing between Toler and Whisenant
for some time on account of dif
ferences growing out of a mule
trade.
The whole affair will undergo
an investigation by the next grand
jurv.
Mr. Witham in New York.
Mr. W. S. Witham, president of
the Bank of Lawrenceville, scored
quite a hit at the recent meeting
of the New York State Bankers’
Association. After the delivery
of his speech he was accorded an
ovation, and the leading metro
politan journals of the state pub
lished his speech in full, with flat
tering comments.
Mr. Witham is a graceful speak
er and delivers his words in such
a pleasant way as to win the at
tention of his auditors from the
very start.
His speech has directed wide
spread attention to his chain of
Georgia banks, and no doubt will
lead to the spread of his method
of banking into other states. But
as there is only one Witham in
all the United States it is doubt
ful": if the imitations can prove
so successful as the genuine article.
At the conclusion of their ses
sion, the New York bankers, to
attest their high appreciation of
Mr. Witham’s speech, presented
him with a check for S2OO. With
am is not only a fine business
man, and a brainy banker, but an
extremely “lucky dog,” to use the
popular phrase. His trip to New
York gave him SIO,OOO worth of
free advertising and a check for
S2OO for pin money.
There is only one Witham in
all this broad land. “Ain’t it the
truth I”

JOHN R. COOPER'S VICTORY.
1
He Scores a Remarkable Triumph in a
Macon Court.
Col. John R. Cooper’s Gwinnett
county friends will read with much
interest the story of a remarkable
victory ho has just achieved in
Bibb Superior court. The follow
ing is the story as telegraphed
from Macon and published in the
Atlanta daily Constitution of
Wednesday:
The morning session of Bibb su
perior court was consumed today
in the trial of the negro John Ste
vens. who killed Mr. James Ker
shaw. This was the defendant’s
third trial, having twice before
been found guilty, reccommonded
to mercy and sentenced to ths
penitentiary for life, and two new
trials granted by the supreme
couit. The defense offered no
testimony at today’s trial. The
state submitted only three witness
es, so the evidence was quickly in.
The evidence was about the same
as at the two former trials. So
licitor General Hodges and Mr.
Walter Grace spoke for the state.
Mr. John R. Cooper spoke for the
defendant. Judge Felton charged
the jury on the line of manslaugh
ter. He did not charge on mur
der. The jury retired on the case
at 2 o’clock this afternoon.
After being out less thau three
hours the jury brought in a verdict
of not guilty. Thd large audience
in the courtroom, of whom many
were negroes, was greatly surprised
at the verdict, as the general im
pression was that Stevens would
be found guilty of voluntary man
slaughter, as he had at tl e two
previous trials been found guilty
of murder.
The negroes in the courtroom
gave every manifestation of great
joy. The mother of Stevens was
present, and she uttered a loud cry
of delight. The officers of the
court had to suppress the demon
stration.
Attorney Cooper could not con
ceal his pleasure at Mb remarkable
victory, for remarkable it was.
He cleared a negro against whom
there was almost universal preju
dice, and who had killed one of
Macon’s best-known young men,
and who had a narrow escape from
lynching on the night of the hom
icide, so great and intense was the
indignation of the people over the
killing. Stevens was carried back
to jail to await trial on the charge
of assault with intent to murder
Mr. James Carr, the present offi
cial stenographer of the westorn
superior court circuit by appoint
ment of Judge Russell.
Mr. Carr was living in Macon at
the time Mr. Kershaw was killed.
He was in Randall’s store with
Kershaw, and as soon as Stevens
shot down Kershaw he fired the
other barrel of the shotgun at Carr,
the load taking effect in the left
side of the neck. Carr was laid
up in the hospital some time. Mr.
Cooper will also represent Stevens
in the trial of this case.
