Bob Guest, a section boss on the Georgia
Midland and Gulf railway, had very serious
ARRAY with a negro laborer near Melon
ough last Monday. Mr.. Guest ordered the
man to leave the road for some beach of
discipline. The negro becoming obstinate
about leaving, Mr.. Guest struck him over
the head with pick handle The negro
went off some distance and knocked Che
handle out of his pick and returned to
where Mr.. Guest was and asked why he
had struck him. Guest ordered him to
leave, at the same time attempting to strike
him with a pick handle, but the negro
warded off the blow and in return struck
Mr.. Guest on the head, knocking him down.
He continued to strike him over the head
with the pick handle, decorating his head
in a trightful manner. He then choked Mr..
Guest and came near biting his thumb off.
The negro was arrested and tried before
Judge Turner for assault and battery. He
was found guilty and fined $50, including
cost, or a sentence to nine months in the
chain-gang.
Hannah Key is a negro woman about %
years old, who lives near Dixie, in Brooks
county. On Sunday night of last week she
took her Ii months old child into piece of
woods some distance from any dwelling,
stripped its clothing off and laid the help
less little creature between two pine trees
which stand about four feet apart. 1t is
not known whether she tried TO take its
Life by brute force, but as no marks of
violence were found on its body by the jury
of inquest, ii is believed that she simply
took off its clothing and left it to perish of
cold and hunger. Her people suspected that
something was wrong and questioned
her closely as to the whereabouts
of the child, but it was not until Wednes
day that they succeeded in inducing her to
divulge her terrible secret and show them
where she had put the infant. Wednesday
evening the coroner was notified and went
out and held an inquest. The verdict was
death from hunger, cold and abandonment.
Sheriff McRae arrested the woman and
lodged her in Jail Thursday night. 1t is
rumored that some colored man promised
to marry her If she would get rid of the
child, and she sought to give it away, but
her mother objected, when she took the ter
rible alternative set forth above.
Tennille Enterprise: One day last week,
while Engineer Carson E. Lanier was max
ing his down trip to Dublin on the freight
train OF the Wrightsville and Tennlle rail
road, and while going down grade, WITH a
heavy train, he saw a white woman stand
ing near the track in few feet OF the
trestle which spans the Ohoopie river. She
was waving a handkerchief and making
wild gestures to stop the train Suspecting
that there was a broken rail, or that part
of the trestle had washed away, or perhaps
that the embankment near the trestle was
giving way, the engineer, with great diff
Guilty, brought his train to q standstill. The
woman seemed to know him, and with
a pleading voice asked: "Mr. Linyear,
won't you please take me across the bridget
l tried TO walk over on the crossties jist
now, but every time | got half way my
head would begin 10 swim, and / would
have to turn round and go back" This was
too much for the gallant little engineer
and muttering something between his teeth
that had the suspicion of being a church
word, he pulled the throttle open and shot
across the trestle without answering the
heartrending entreaty. He says his respect
for her sex only prevented his making the
waters of the Ohoopie run red with blood
for the next month TO come.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: Twenty
thousand barrels of beer, 81 i gallons each,
is what we propose TO make when we COM
plcte the enlargement of our brewery, on
which you see we are now at work. said
Mr.. Willauer Of the Chattahoochee Brew
ing Company, to representative of the
Enquirer-.Sun yesterday. Twenty thou
sand barrelsl Six hundred and thirty thou
sand gallons!l Ten million and eighty
thousand glasses!l That is power o. beer,
and at a nickel glass is worth Just 1904
600. At the barrel price 10000 barrels Of
beer are worth probably $500, 900, and a
business of 100000 year is a
very big business-something for an enter
prising concern to look forward to.
The Chattahoochee Brewing Company
will soon take high rank among our big
institutions. The company bought twelve
acres more land Yesterday, making about
sixteen that it now owns, and a large force
of hands is employed enlarging the pre-
ent buildings and putting up others, pre-
paratory to greatly increasing the capacity
OF the plant. An extension 40 feet in
length is being built to the cold storage
warehouse, the walls of which are three
feet eleven inches in thickness; twenty
five ton refrigerating mach ne, to take the
place OF the smaller one now in use, has
been ordered; a two-story bottling depot is
to be built at once; large cooper shop, in
which the tanks, barrels and kegs needed
by the company will be made, is TO be
erected as soon as possible; machine re-
pair shop, blacksmith shop, ETC., will be
erected very soon; and sixty-horse power
tubular boiler will be put in, and the smaller
one now in use will be utilized in the bot
Ting department. Everything about the
place is hustle and rush, aud in a very short
time the roll of employees will be long one.
