KILLING IN CUTHBERT.
Fatal Bullet Fired by VV. E. Bates, Acting in
Self- Defense.
Outhbert, Nov. 16.—Mr. W. E.
Bates, who runs the barbershop
under the Hotel Randolph, shot
Tom Baldwin, a negro barber who
worked in his shop, yesterday af¬
ternoon. From the effects of one
shot Baldwin died last nigh,, at 9
o’clock.
The circumstances connected
with the killing, as related, are
about as follows: Baldwin came
into the shop in a drunken condi¬
tion to go po work. Mr. Bates or¬
dered him out. Thomas refused
to go. Bates then proposed to
cake a poker to him if he did not
get out. Baldwin still refused to
go, and instead proceeded toward
Mr. Bates with an open razor,
whereupon Bates shot him one
time. Baldwin fell and was after¬
ward removed from the shop, dy¬
ing about 9 o’clock. The killing
on the part of Bates is regarded
as perfectly justifiable.

BATTLE WITH RATTLERS.
Charles Barlow, of Miller County, Kills 116
Pounds of Snakes.
Charlie Barlow went out with
his dog and gun a few days ago to
get some squirrels in a hammock
along the banks of Dry Creek in
Miller county. Soon he heard his
dog barking and thought he had
treed a squirrel. He hurried to
the place, but just before reaching
the dog discovered that he had
bayed something on the ground.
To his horror he saw that it was a
big rattlesnake, The dog is so
trained that when his master walks
up he rushes in. He then discov-
ered that there were two rattle-
srmkes in coil, ready to bite, and
if he could get them in line he
would shoot them both at once,
but try as he would a tree would
be in his way, so he cut down a
small white oaksappling about 12
feet long, trimmed it up, called
his dog and took a small limb that
he had cut from the sappling and
whipped the dog so as to make
him stay away from the snake
killing. He went in and soon had
both the monsters killed. He
stretched them out and with a
small stick scpiatted down to count
the rattles. He heard another
snake rattling, which gave him a
great fright. His nerves being
acute from the recent battle, he
thought this new enemy was right
near him, but looking carefully
he saw the snake’s head under the
shell of a hollow log in ten feet of
him. He tried to get .a shot at
it, but the angle was wrong, and
he went several feet on the oppo¬
site of the log and taking hold of
a limb of it gave a pull and turn¬
ed it over and opened up a den of
rattlers—a squirming mass of six
immense fellows. He sailed in
with his white oak pole and kill¬
ed the whole bunch. They were
from four to ten feet Jong and had
from six to twelve rattles each.
In all there were sixty-four feet
of rattlesnakes by measurement
and fifty-eight rattles by actual
count. The total weight was 115
pounds. This is a true snake sto-

Astounding Discovery.
From Coopersville, Mich., comes
word of a wonderful discovery of a
pleasant tasting liquid that when
used before retirirg by any one
troubled with a bad cough always
ensures a good night’s rest. “It will
soon cure the cough too,” writes
Mrs a S. Himelburger, “for three
generations of our family have used
Dr. King’s New Discovery for con
sumption and never found its equal
for coughs and colds.” It's an
rivaled life-saver when used for
desperate lung diseases.

BIG FIRE IN ALBANY '
A. W. MUSE & CO. LOSE 2,500
BALES OF COTTON.
Water Supply of the City Completely Ex¬
hausted. Damage to Property Was
$115,000, With Insurance
of $66,000.
Albany, Ga., Nov. 16.-A. W .
-
Muse tv Co s. cotton warehouse
about ^2,500 l>ales ot cotton,
was destroyed by fire last night.
The building and cotton, ex-
cept one or two lots of cotton be-
longing to individuals, were pret-
ty well covered by insurance,
The fire was discovered shortly
after 11 o’clock last night, but
had gained much headway before
that time. The fire originated in
that part of the warehouse where
the cotton was stored, there being
about 2,500 bales in the ware-
house. All of this cotton was
badly damaged and most of it
burned to ashes. In addition to
the cotton there was stored 111 the
warehouse some $25,000 worth of
bagging and grain, which was al¬
so badly damaged.
The warehouse was a modern
brick building valued at $10,000,
and is practically a complete loss.
A dozen firemen and many vol¬
unteers worked heroically all
night and this morning playing
water from seven lines of hose in¬
to the burning cotton.
At 5:80 o’clock this morning
over 650,000 gallons of water had
been poured into the building,
and the city’s water supply was
completely exhausted. The re¬
serve fire engine was brought out,
and since then has been playing
on the ruins, drawing water from
the river, only a short distance
away.
A large force of laborers are at
work this morning getting the
burning cotton out of the ruins
and hauling it to river, where it
is being submerged. The salvage
will amount to several thousand
dollars.
Two firemen were injured by
falling cotton, but the.ir injuries
are not regarded as serious.
The total valuation of property
damaged or destroyed by the fire
is about $115,000. And it is esti¬
mated that the loss will be from
90 to 95 per cent.
The total amount of insurance
is $65,400.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY PENNILESS
Savings of Forty-Five Vears Spent in De¬
fending His Honor.
New Orleans, Nov. 17.—A Wash¬
ington special to the Picayune
says:
The savings of forty-five years
of active service in the United
States navy have been taken up
by the expenses of the inquiry by
which Admiral W. S. Schley hopes
to clear his record as a naval ofii-
cer. Since the final adjournment
of the public sessions of the court
the admiral has been staying at
the Arlington hotel attempting to
extricate himself from the fitian-
cial tangle caused by the inquiry.
He has ended with his accounts
and finds every cent of the $20,000
which he had expected to leave to
his family, in addition to the
prize money which he will get for
his part in the Spanish-American
war, has been spent on the inqui-
ry- Financially, he is worse off
than he was almost half a century
ago when he entered the Naval
Academy as a cadet.
Warrants at the treasury de¬
partment show that' Admiral
Sampson has drawn $82,000 prize
money. The larger part of this
sum came as the spoils of the bat¬
tle of Santiago.
Mrs. Schley insists that her
husband’s money has been all
spent. Her children agree with
her.
“I cannot say I wish I had it
back,” said Admiral Schley today,
“but J do wish I had the assur¬
ance now that I had a year ago
that my wife would never come to
want.”
Admiral Schley’s mail is tre¬
mendous. It became heavy as
soon as he made the request for
the inquiry, and there is no sign
of a decrease in it, although the
hearings have been discontinued
Among the letters received by-
the admiral during the last vyeek
have been 112 offers from, mana¬
gers of lecture lyceums to, handle
him during a lecture tour. The.
publishers of a large, number of
magazines are among his corres-
pendents. They are ail trying to
force the seafighter into journal¬
ism, but Admiral Schley said that
he did not believe the writing of
magazine articles is strictly in ac¬
cord with the spirit of his profee-
sion.
(( Battles fought on paper, arid
that is what the magazines
seem to want,” he said, “have
never, to my knowledge, drivei
enemy from a hostile coun-
