MAY LYNCH A WOMAN.
Negress Who Caused a Terrible
Shooting Is Caught.
Oliver, Ga.. May 21—It now
develops that the tragedy which
resulted in the killing >f Frank
I
Evans and the wounding of J. B.
Proctor, who is not expected to
live, by Samuel Perry, a notorious
negro, last night near Cameron,
was the result of the impudence
of Perry’s wife, who was vilely
abusing Mrs. Proctor’s children,
and cursing “white folks” in gen
eral. Frank Evans, who heard the
woman, stepped up and offered re
sentment. As he did so Perry, the
woman’s husband, rushed out of
the house with a drawn revolver
and began shooting at Evans.
Evans fell at the first shot and
died without a groan. At this
juncture Mr. Proctor appeared on
the scene and was brought down
in his tracks, two shots entering
his body. Mr. Proctor’s son was
also shot at but not hit. Thomas
Lee, another prominent citizen,
rushed towards the negro, and was
shot, but not seriously. Perry be
gan to reload his pistol, but before
he cculd do so Brown Evans, a
brother of the murdered man, ap
peared and yelled at the top of his
voice:
“He has killed my only brother,
and I will kill him if it takes me
a lifetime.”
The negro ran and though shot
at by the posse which had gather
ed, escaped to the woods. The ne
gro woman had already escaped
during the excitement. The wo
man was captured this morning
near Halcyiondale, and it is not
improbable that she will be lynch
ed. She was trying to join her
husband when captured. Perry is
still at large, but is being closely
pursued by a large posse, and if
captured will be lynched and prob
ably burned.
Qaaint Sayings.
It is interesting and instructive
to read bright arid well constructed
advertisements. Messrs. C. I. Hood
& Co., of Sarsaparilla fame, must
have been at a great feast and
taken everything home with them.
They are using a bright selection
of quaint old sayings and proverbs
as the starters in a series of clever
advertisments. wherein the pro
verbs are neatly turned and para
graphed to fit the subject matter.
The public like this breezy adver
tising, as it reminds of other pro
verbs and opens up discussion.
Lightning Kills a Woman.
Americus, Ga., May 24. —Mrs.
Charles Putnam was instantly
killed by lightning at 7 o’clock last
night while viewing.tbe’storm from
the door of her residence on Jeff
erson street. She was standing
with her three.children and broth
er-in-law, and they were all knock
ed senseless by the stroke. Mrs.
Putnam’s neck was broken and
she died almost instantly. The
others will rehdV ir.
Mr. Putnatil was ill and lying on
a bed in a room”close by. The
house caught -fire, but was soon ex
tinguished by thfr'fire department.

RINGGOLD CUT OFF.
Probable Shortening of Western
and Atlantic Line.
President Thomas, of the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St Louis
railway, is considering a proposi
tion to shorten the line of the
Western and Atlantic railway from
this city to Atlanta as has already
been mentioned in the Times. The
Nashville road now controls the
Western and Atlantic under a
ninety-nine-year lease.
At present the Western and At
lantic has a line from this city to
Ringgold, Ga. It is proposed to
build a cut-off to lead from Cra
ven’s station to Ringgold. It will
be remembered that Craven’s sta
tion is just at the foot of Lookout
mountain and would cut the mile
age to quite an extent. At pres
ent the Western and Atlantic rail
way has a pass around to the right
to reach the gap in Missionary
ridge. In the contemplated line
from Craven’s direct to Ringgold
this run would be cut, while on
the other hand it would give the
road a line to the Chickamauga
Park. In event of the change the
line from this city to Ringgold, as
now operated, would be abandon
ed.
The Federal government re
quested the Western and Atlantic
people to build a spur across, from
Craven’s station to Chickamauga
last summer. A survey was made
when President Thomas learned
that this would cost in the neigh
borhood of SIOO,OOO. He did not
approve of the idea of spending
the amount at that time for the
accomodation of troops but since
that date has learned of the short
er mileage and it is now very Drub
able that the line will be put
through, as it offers so many ad
vantages.
In event that this new lino is
put through all, or the majority
of the through freight from Nash
ville to Atlanta will be sent thro’
Graven’s station and not this city.
This will result in the Nashville
and Chattanooga switch yards be
ing removed, perhaps, to the vi
cinity of Craven’s station. In
this event the Market street cross
ing will be cut down to only a fe>v
tracks.
President Thomas favors the
proposition and expects to con
struct the line, but just how soon
is not known. It is learned how
ever, that the work will not com
mence immediately.—Chattanooga
| Times.

One of the most important i
questions now presenting itself to;
the cotton planters and ginners is j
that of adopting uniform size and
weight of the cotton bale. To
bring about this change many of '
the ginners will have to change
their baling press boxes to the
standard size 24 by 54 inches and
the standard weight is from 450
to 550 pounds to the bale. This
change will doubtless soon have
to be made as a reduction in the
price of the odd size bales is likely •
to go into effect any time. The
standard size bale is of a great ;
advantage tothe shipper.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.
O. B . Stevens, commissioner of
agriculture of Georgia, is working
out a plan for the interest of the
cotton planters and the legislature
of his state which meets in Octo
ber will probaly be asked to take
up the plan for cosideration. The
idea on which he is at present
working holds out, it is believed,
a possibility of increased prices
for the main staple of the south
and tho lifting of a burden from
the shoulders of tho state. The
plan is a broad and comprehensive
one and contemplates a thorough
and uniform classification of cot- )
ton by sworn inspectors all over
tho state at the points from which
it is shipped. It is tho opinion
of a great many farmers of the
state, factors and commission men,
who have spoken on tho subject,
that the general depression of low
prices cf cttton are not entirely
due, as commonly remarked, to
over production, but to a lack of
competition largely in the pur
chase of the staple.
