The turpentine works of Messrs. G. D.
baldwin Co, about five miles from
Eastman, was the scene of a lively shoot
ing scrape Saturday. Two negroes, VIM.
sewage and VIM. Sanders, had quarreled
ABOUT pocket knife, and by mutual con-
sent had agreed to settle the matter
under the rules of the code. Double
Darreled guns were procured, and
each fortified himself behind pine
tree. 1t seems that Sanders was very
much in earnest, and in his anxiety
TO get the first shot p0ked his head out
from behind his fertilization a little too
Tar. Sewage was ready for HIM, and in
an instant turned loose his old fusee. The
load Of shot tore the bark from the side OF
the tree, and several of them buried them
selves in the neck and face of the anxious
duelist. Blinded with pain and rage, San
ders fired at his antagonist, but failed to
hit him. Peace makers then interposed.
