POSTMASTER AND EDITOR.
A Lively Scrap Between Them in ■
Borne.
Rome, Ga., Nov- 20 —Editor W.
A. Knowles, of the Tribune, and
Postmaster M - M. Pepper had a
bloody fight this afternoon, but
neither was seriously injured. Af
ter several minutes’ hard fighting >
Knowles was pulled off of his op
ponent by Will Hiles, a brother
in-law of the editor. Previous to
this V. T. Sanford had prevented
anybody from interfering, saying
that the men ought to be abowod
to fight it out.
The fight grew out of the Know
les-Byrd squabble. It will be re
membered that Capt. Pepper car
ried Knowles a communication
from Underwood, and this fac* was
widely published. Knowles and
Pepper had been considered good
friends before that, and since that
time mutual friends have been try
ing to straighten the matter. Pep
per made a statement to
and the latter asked that a card
be furnished that it be prin
ted and the public understand the
matter and know that Pepper was
Knowles’ friend. Three mu ual
friends drew up a statement, but
Pepper did not sign it.
Today he furnished another
written statement, but it was not
satisfactory to Knowles. In a dis
pute over what Popper had said he
would do, the lie passed and
Knowles jumped on Pepper. The
scrap was lively and both spilled
blood. Knowles was on top when
pulled off.
The affair lias created quite a
sensation. Knowles and his friends
say Pepper had agreed to sign such
statement as the three mutual
friends drew up.
Pepper asserts that Sanford as
sisted Knowles in the light.
Howto Prevent Croup.
Some reading that will prove
interesting to young mothers. How
to guard against the disease.
Croup is a terror to young moth
ers and to post them concerning
the cause, first symptoms and
treatment is the object of this
item. The origin of croup is a
common cold. Children who are
subject to iu take cold very easily
and croup is almost sure to follow,
i’he first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cough, which is easily recog
nized ard will never be forgotten
by one who has heard it. The
time to act is when the child first
becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy is freely given all
tendency to croup will soon disap
pear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the
attack. There is no danger in giv
ing this remedy for it contains
nothing injurious. For sale by all
druggists.
A Boy’s Composition.
The following is given as a boy’s
composition on “Breath.” “Our
breath is made of air. If it were
not for our breath we would die.
The breath keeps going through
our liver, our lights and lungs.
Boys shut up in a room all day
should not breathe! They should
wait until they got out of doors.
Air in a room has carboncide in it,
and carboncide is poisoner than
mad dogs. Once some men were
shut up in a black h<~>le in India. I
A carboncide got into that there
hole, and afore morning nearly
every one of them was dead. Girls
wear corsets which squeeze their
diagrams too much. Girls cannot
run and holler like boys, ’cause j
their diagrams are squeezed. If I
was a girl I would run and holler,
so my diagram would grow. That’s
all on breath.”

ually going on in the human sys

The potato crop is a failure in
many parts of this country be
cause of its overwhelming ahun
-1 dance. The total crop is estimated
at 282,000,000 bushels, the world's
I crop being 3,478,000,000 bushels,
an unprecedented yield. The price
is in many places too low to make
it profitable to dig the potatoes,
and many acres are being left in

A BRUTAL HUSBAND
Killed Instantly by His Half-
Crazed Wife Near Gadsden,
Ala.
Gadsden, Ala., Nov. 21.—News
reached here this evening of a tra
gedy which occurred near Center,
a few miles above here, last night,
W. H. Walker being shot and in
stantly killed by his wife.
Walker had been in the habit (f
getting drunk and abusing his wife
and two children. When ho was
on these sprees he was very vio
lent, and often his wife had to ileo
from home to save her life. Yes
terday evening he went homo in a
drunken state and proceeded to
follow out his usual programme of
abuse and cruelty. He was unus
ually boisterous, and t fter cursing
his wife in a most terrible manner
told her he intended to kill her
and one of the children. She
pleaded with him to spare at least
the life of her child. Her prayer
only maddened him, and he made
such threatening demonstrations
that she left home and started for
the home of her sister a short dis
tance away. Walker feelingly fol
lowed, still cursing and threaten
ing to take his wife’s life.
When the woman left home she
went prepared for the worst, by
taking with her a pistol. As she
reached the door of her sister’s res
idence she turned and saw her
murderous husband enter the gate
with a look as if he intended to
carry out his threat. Worked into
a crazed condition by the man’s
brutality, and driven to the ex
treme by his present attitude, she
raised the pistol and fired. Wal
ker fell dead instantly at her feet.
No arrest has been made. They
were both about 50 years old, and
have three married children and
two unmarried.
A Household Treasure.
D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N
A’., says that ho always keeps Dr
King’s New Discovery in the house
and his family has always found
the very best results follow its
use; that he would not be without
it, if procurable. G. A. Dykeman,
Druggist, Catskill, N. Y., says that
Dr. King’s New Discovery is ilio
best Cough remedy ; that he has
used it in his family f«r eight
years, and it has never failed to
ao that is claimed for it. Why
not try a remedy so long tried and
tested. Trial bottles free at II

LaFayette, Ga., Nov. 20.
Quite a serious difficulty occurred
about five miles west of town this
afternoon between Poke Styles
and George Shaw. The trouble
arose over the survey of some land.
Judge Lumpkin had just comple
ted running the line and Styles
was not satisfied and refused to
pay his part for running it. He
and Shaw engaged in a quarrel.
Shaw struck Styles with a club,
crushing his cheek bone and part
of his temple. The blow may
prove fatal.
