They buy everything for cash, and with

their own business, they think they can
under-sell any house in town. To the
public they submit their merchandise
for test: hoping for custom because Of
the bargains given.
In addition they haye a first-class

Catching Fish with Dynamite.
Atlanta Constitution.

Steve Williams, an ex-convict, and two
other darkies at Old Town, Jefferson
county. concluded they would try to
catch some fish. They had been fishing
in a certain hole, and having had good
luck they thought they would try new
cut on the fish with dynamite.
Steve took the dynamite in his hand
and commenced TO light fuse with a
match, but the wind blew out, as he
thought, the first match, and he tried
second match on it. The other two
drkies came to his assistance with their
hats to ward off the wind. But while
they were working with the second
match the first took effect, and the cart
ridge of of dynamite burst into thous-
and pieces. Steve's left hand, in which
he held the cartridge, was entirely torn
off, and his right hand was badly lacer-
ated. One of the other men received a
severe flesh wound in one arm. The third
man was hurt on one hand, the course of
the material passing just over the back
of his hand.
DIR. J. NJ. Kelly amputated the left arm
of Williams between the wrist and elbow,
and cut two fingers off the right hand.
The wounds of the other men were
dressed. The report of the explosion was
heard six or seven miles.
