Sensational Array About woman's Good
 Name at Madison. Ga

MADISON, GA, August H.-Ihis evening fight occurred between V. Il. Stiles, bridge builder on the Coving- ton and Macon road, and E. M. Black burn, Assistant Postmaster of Aadl- son. Stiles made seafidaleus remark in the presence Of witnesses about lady. she Icing without protector, having no relatives in the city. Black burn having heard of the allegd slan- Ger, decided to protect her fair name. He drew up paper of retractien and called Stiles into the rear ot the Post Office, and asked him if he had made such remarks as were contained in the writing. Stiles replied that he might have made them or he might not have made them, refusing to say, and de- mandel by what right Blackburn asked. Blackburn said:
 "The remarks you have uttered are
 false. and say that the lady about whom they were made is a. pure as any upon whom tine sun ever shone, and for the time being you may con slider her my relative and l intend 10 protect her name. You have got this paper to sign.'
 "l not only repeat the words l have said about her. sad stiles. but Say further that have proof for what l say. and reiu 10 sign the paper. Upon tn $ Blackburn slapped Stiles in the face.
 Blackburn is a very small man and Stiles weighs POO pounds. As Black burn slapI him Stiles drew aek as if to strike him, but halted and said:
 You are mad and will take this. Blackburn sa d T consider the lady as pure as my wife, and south ern woman, which is as high an esti- mate as can D ace upon her character,
 an |, you internal liar, you will have to take t.
 Stiles replied that he did not consider | those ladies of whom Blackburn had such an exalted opinion (meaning Southern womenl as the purest in the
 world.
 Upon this Blackburn slapped him again. Stiles then caught Blackburn | by the throat and began choking him. | Blat kburn managed to get into the office from the rear, with Stiles still
 choking him. When inside, Blackburn | secured his own pistol and pointed II | at Stiles abdomen. Stiles knocked | the weapon down as it was discharged | The ba penetrated Stiles thigh, pass
 ing through the limb and lodging in | the Post Office wall. The ball also cut | through Blackburn's hand, making g slight wound.
 Immediately after the firing Stiles | released his grip upon Blackburn | throat, and cried out loudly, II ar shot" He was carried over to the
 Gleun House by parties who had inter | fered in time to heap Blackburn from shooting the second time. Stiles
 wound is only flesh wound, and he
 may be up in few days. Had no one | interfered he would have been deac
 man, as Blackburn fully intended kill | ing him.
 B a.kburn remained at the Post | Office all the afternoon, and his friend: offered him their congratulations bl
 the score, as they say he was defending
 a Southern lady from the assault of { | Northern stranger. Blackburn was fol | a long time editor of the Madisonian It IS feared that the angry citizen:
 will lynch Stiles before morning.
