Dublin,. Ga,, Oct. 4.—It. C.
Little, a cotton buyer, committed
suicide some time yesterday by
shooting himself through the head.
He was found in his bed yesterday
with a pistol in his hand. He had
been dead some time when found,
as no one had seen him since Sun¬
day evening. He was about 48
years old and was a Virginian, He
came to Dublin about one year ago
from Marietta. 'His wife lives in
Marrietta, and she has been tele¬
graphed for. Financial despondency
is ascribed by his friends as the
cause of his act,
Thomasville, Ga., Oct. 3.—Col.
A. L. Hawes, a leading lawyer and
politician of Bainbridge, was sliol
here today by W. II. Hammond,
another lawyer. The difficulty
grew out of the argument of a case
in chambers before Judge Ilan,sell
of the superior court by Gol.
Ilawes and Capt. William Ilam-
mon, father of the young man who
did the shooting. During the
course of the argument Col. Hawes
characterized as untrue a statement
made by Capt. Hammond. They
had some words and blows with
walking.canes outside of the court
room, but were separated by police¬
men. Later AY. II. Hammond, son
of Capt, Hammond, met Col. Hawes,
taxed him with insulting his father,
and shot him, though the wound is
pot serious, Both Capt. Ham¬
mond and Gol. Ilawes are promi-
rient. Each has often held public
office.

Better Times in Georgia.
The advance in cotton is a source
of great comfort to the people of
Georgia. Not that it will bring
riches where poverty has been the
rule for years, but it will ease up
matters and give new hop# and life
and zest to things.
It will buy a new bonnet for
Betsy and a gown for the baby.
It will tide over the mortgage and
buy seed wheat for the fall sowing.
’The skies will he bluer and the
golden rod will put on a brighter
tint.
The birds will sing more sweetly
and the filly in the pasture will leap
and kick and whinny with newer
life.
At least, su it will seem to tbe
farmer.
But let no man be misled by it.
Cotton is going up because tbe
buyers concluded the crop is short.
A full crop next year will settle the
crop down again to four cents a
pound. This is ‘ a stern fact tli. t
must be kept in mind. Plant who:
and oats and corn, and raise stock.
Make the crop of cotton short again
| by planting a short crop. Thereby
hangs tho success of the southern
farmer. Make no more cotton than
the world will need at good prices.
j There are millions in it if the plan
i s worked on this schedule,
Tho first step, therefore iD the
direction of good prices for cotton
next year is to plant a good crop of
wheat this year,—-Macon Telt-
graph.
