pany will be sold at public sale on the grounds.

This is the sum and substance OF Judge

the last words were uttered
the doomed negro responded with
a deep sigh, and for the first time seemed to
realize the gravity Of the charge against
him. When he was carried back TO jail he
became frantic and tore off his clothing,
tore up the bedding and began eating the
straw. He paced about his cell like Gagged

expression of horror at his impending

A NEGRO SHOT.

The Entire Load of q Shotgun Fired
Into His stomach.
DAvIsBoRo, GA, July Reconsider able
excitement was occasioDed here late this
afternoon by the fatal shooting of Bob
Shivers by Ed Hunt. Both Shivers and
Hunt are negroes, the former being en-
ployed as a porter at the Inman house an d
the latter claiming employment by the rail-
road, 1t appears that the two men
had started out of town together,
Hunt carrying gun, with which
to shoot some ducks. They had not gone
far before they became involved in what
Shivers claims was a friendly tussle, and IN
the melee Hunt shot him, emptyIng the en-
tire load into his stomach, his entrails pro-
truding. Or. Evans was called, and
upon examination of the wound said
it would result fatally. Hunt was
arrested and will be given hearing to
morrow morning before Trial Justice Rog-
ers. Both men disclaim malice, and while
no cause for the rash act can be obtained
from the parties themselves, the most rea-
sonable deduction TO be drawn from the
circumstances is that gambling is the real
cause of the horrible tragedy.

Brunswick's Times to be Sold for the
Benefit OF It's Creditors.
BRUNSWICK, GA, July 25.-The times,
Brunswick's only morning paper, is now In
the hands of a receiver. The petition for
the appointment of receiver was made on
behalf of certain large creditors of the
Times Publishing Company by Messrs.
Crovatt & Whitfield, attorneys. The petit
ton was granted by Judge Atkinson. and
Nick. McCook, the managing editor,
was appointed receiver. IL is
thought the paper will bring
more at a sale which is now unavoidable,
by continuing its publication to that time.
1t is rumored that certain Brunswick par
ties will buy the paper, and offer Mr.. Nc
Cook the position of general manager and
editor In chief. The Zines has never been
a paying piece of property and has been
sustained by its owners, because it
was thought to be means
Of promoting the growth and development
of the city. The Brunswick company has
been one Of its largest owners, and that
company has recently determined to put up
no more money for it. The Indebtedness.
which had been accommodating for some
time, could be held off from settlement no
longer and hence the paper is now under
the control of the court

MIDVILLE'S BRIDGE.

An Z fort to Have II Maintained By
Burke and Emanuel Counties
MIpvILLE, GA, July % The cit zens
here and few citizens Of the adjoining
county, Emanuel, bought the toll bridge,
with bridge right, over the Ogeechee river
at this point. They then offered it to the
two counties, Burke and Emanuel, without
charge If they would keep 1t up and make it
q free bridge. On last Tuesday the com
missioners Of both counties met here
to decide the matter. Burke accepted
the bridge over the main stream
which lies on the Burke side Of the swamp,
leaving an embankment and six short
bridges on the Emanuel side altogether very
near half mile long. The .commissioa erS
of Emanuel we're divided on the subject.
What the result will be is yet to be decided.
Both embankment and bridges are 10 a bad
condition and will have to be almost en-
tirelV rebuilt.
