Last Friday. late In the afternoon. three men
were seen walking along the public road lead
ing from Brideevils to tho quiet and ancient

rather pleasant looking. with sandy beard and
hair. pale face. haGgard expression. OF medium
height, slender build. and about 45 years old.
Ono Of the two that attracted special attention
wore heavy dark moustache. had dsrt hair.
was OF medium height. had . pair OF worry
sharp black eyes, and a face described a. any
thing but pleasant to look into. Tho man OF
the most marked appearance was negro OF
stout build about 8 feet and inches. With an
intelligent face. but with . pair OF wicked.
looking eyes.
These three men attracted the attention OF
men. women. and children as they travelled
along tho road from Duttsville to spot In
sight OF what is called the Beaver brook
schoolhouse. where the elder Of the three.
tho sandy-hairsd man. was shot and killed.
and whore his dead body was found In field
near tho ROAD on sunday morning.
A farmer went into the neid to catch his
horses. and there discovered the lifeees re-
mains OF the man. who was rpadily recognized

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Hon. Patrick
Walsh of Georgia. president OF the Augusta
exposition, has written a letter to President
Harrison in response to request for infor-
nation in regard to the Industrial progress
of the South. Mr. Walsh says: "The South
is developing rapidly and her manufactur-
ing possibilities cannot be exaggerated. The
South's cotton mills used last year over
600, 600 bales OF the 2.400, 600 consumed by
the United States.
IN 1850 tho South took only 1870, 900
bales. OF the 1900, 600 tons of iron pro-
duced last year the South contributed 2,
600, 600 tons, or more than the entire pro
duction Of the Union in 1860. England fell
behind our country last year 500, 900 tons.
1t is one of the most encouraging evidences
of the Souths industrial progress that she
produced last year nearly one-fourth the
amount of iron produced in Great Britain.
The South's future for the manufacture
of cotton is assured. That the pressure OF
cillcinI duties should deprive US of the pleas
ure Of welcoming you to Augusta and our
exposition, Is matter of disappoin tmcnt
and regret to our fellow citizens, as well as
to the directors and officers of the Augusta
Exposition company, who are under obliga
ton for the official sanction extended to cur
enterprise and for the personal and official
courtesy extended during their visit to
Washington"
