Deadly Quarrel Over a Potato.

AUGUSTA, GA, Nov. 17.-Robert Cain,
alias Robert Toombs, was shot to death
at Mclean Station last afternoon. He
was so years of age. Yesterday morning,
30 the testimony before the coroner de-
clared, Cain entered Winters store at
Mclean and placed sweet potato on the
stove to bake. He then went out and
when he came back the potato was broken
in two. With an oath he demanded to
know who did it. Young Winter. 1S
years of age, acknowledged that he had
done 80, but said that it was mistake.
he was sorry and would give him another
potato. But this did not satisfy Cain,
who cursed great deal and was finally
ordered tu leave the store by Winter.
Before departing he told Winter next
time they met one or the other would
have to die. Later several negroes warn
ed young Winter to look out, that Cain
had sworn to kill him. In the afternoon
they met and Cain reopened the quarrel,
finally advancing on Winter with open
knife. He would not halt, though warn
ed to do 30, and Winter drew his pistol
and fired. Cain was shot through the
lung and died in ten minutes. The coro-
ners jury after hearing all the evidence
returned verdict that the killing was
done in self.defence and entirely justifia-
ble.-Spec eciaL to Sunday Ne,cs.

Knocks out B00kmakfng,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, November ia de-
cision has been rendered by an East st.
Louis justice of the peace, which, if sus-
tanned by the higher courts, will knock
out bookmaking and race tracks through
out the State of Illinois. and possibly in
many other States. The ruling was
made in q suit instituted in Justice James
A. Wyatt's court in East st. Louis by Il.
II. Barnes. Barnes claims to have lost
$1S4 at the East Side track during Octo-
Der, 1894. When The case was tried he
produced losing tickets representing the
amount he claimed to have lost and sue
ceeded in convincing the judge Of the
truth of his statement, whereupon de-
cision was rendered in his favor. The
defendants offered no witnesses TO dis
prove the truth OF his statement and aside
from contending that they had right
to keep money won from the public on
the ground that the public would keep
money won from them, they made no de-
fense whatever. Judge Wyatt said that
his decision in the case was strictly in
compliance with the State statute govern
ing such cases, which defines clearly that
a person, upon proving that be has lost
an amount equal to or more than $40
upon any gambling device whatever, can
obtain the full amount lost from the par
ties receiving the same, and If not from
them, from the lessees or owners of the
property upon which such games were
conducted. A similar case has been COM
promised by the track people, but this
will be carried up.

a deplorable accident on the trolley car

in the infiction of injuries sure to prove
fatal to Miss Dora McLain.
Miss McLain, an accomplished young

accident she was attempting to cross
parallel car lines. She waited until a

same moment car speeding from the
opposite direction struck her, hurled ber
forward on the track and passed over her
body.
Two ladies who were with her narrowly
escaped the same fate, the car scraping
their dresses.
Miss McLain was fearfully mangled
and bruised, both legs being broken.

ceived the best surgical attention but no
hopes of her surviving are INDUCED.

bore up splendidly for time after the
accident.
Motorman w. B. Moore was on the
car which caused the accident and after
| its occurrence deserted his car. An houl
later be was arrested in the southern par
of the city.
Opinions differ as to the motorman't
responsibility, some eye witnesses de-
claring that he was going at an inexcusa
bly, high rate of speed while others say
that it was in no degree his fault. Th'
greatest sympathy is expressed for tht
unfortunate young lady and news OF tn

The Cotton Growers,

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Nov. 1.-THE
cotton growers convention reassem bled
to-day and organized an association
national in it's scope for the better pro-
lection of planters interests.
The committee on statistics was in
structed to obtain and arrange for the use
of the convention official statistics OF cot
ton, the prices, etc., for the past ten years.
The president Of the convention, Com
missioner Lane, of Alabama, read state
ment showing by the census returns that
resolutions on the part of planters to
restrict acreage have been followed by
decreased output of cotton.
Resolutions of the committee and
special resolutions subsequently offered
and adopted by the convention, cover the
following subjects:
l. Reduction of cotton acreage and in
creased attention to production Of cereals.
Q. Greater attention to stock and cattle
raising.
8. Encouragement of manufacturing in
the South by exempting manufactures
from taxation for period of ten years.
4. Encouragemento of i'm migration, res
olutions advising that large plantations
be divided into small farms and the latter
be sold to bona fide home seekers.
5. Recommendation that cotton be
withheld for sale by farmers who are not
in debt to their factors, and that it be
held for a rise-"which may reasonably
be expected if the present heavy receipts
are appreciably reduced"
6. The organization of the Cotton Plant
ers' Association of the United States OF
., America to meet at least twice year and
to consist of four delegates from each
congressional district in the cotton grow
ing States and three delegates at large
from each State appointed by governors
OF such States, irrespective Of party pre-
ference. Said association is to hold its
first meeting in Jackson, Miss, the
second "Wednesday in January, 1885.
7. Cotton seed trusts condemned.
8. Congress petitioned to pass the anti
option bill.
9. Congress to be requested to refund
the cotton tax collected in 1SGl'-lS67.
The convention then organized the new
until the January meeting as follows
| Governor James Stone, of Mississippi,
president; Hon. J. o. Waddell, of Geor-
gia, and com mmissioner Of agriculture for
the cotton growing States, vice president
Robert E. Eckeberger, Of Alabama, sec.
retary, and Professor James Smith, o1
Georgia, treasurer.
The chairman of the convention was re-
quested to issue an address to all busl'
ness interests asking cooperation in OBJ
tanning the objects of the association.
The following resolution was adopted
"Resolved, That the honest conviction
of this convention as practical cotton
growers is that the estimates that are
being sent out by the cotton exchanges
in reference to the crop are excessive
and it is the belief of this convention
based upon practical observation anc
best statistical information. that The
present crop will not exceed $500, ,OOO."
The convention adjourned sine die.

Making Condensed MILK.

In 1888 Switzerland exported II, ,77O
tons Of condensed milk, a quantity
equal to $4,000 boxes, or just about
$4,000, 900 tins. The process Of con.
densed milk manufacture is exceed.
ingly simple. Almost every village
in the district tapped by one Of the
factories possesses milk-collecting
Office, to which the peasants bring the
milk fresh from the COW. These milk
Offices are owned by separate compan-
les, with whom the factories contract
for their supplies. At the collecting
Office the milk undergoes refrigera-
ting process. Upon its arrival at the
factory it is first warmed gently over
vapor bath, and then exposed to a
greater heat (not, however, exceeding
eighty degrees C.) in copper vessels.
The next manipulation consists in the
addition to the milk of thirteen pei
cent, by weight, Of the best refined
sugar. The mixture is then pumped
into vacuum pan for condensation.
There is nothing special about these
vacuum pans; they are of the kind
used at almost every manufacturing
chemists, in sugar factories, and in
many other works.
The pans have a false bottom and
are fitted with spiral hot water tubes.
The aqueous vapor given off by the
milk, which is kept boiling under low
pressure, is withdrawn through the
suction pump at the top Of the pan.
When sufficiently condensed, the milk
is withdrawn from the pans, cooled in
vessels placed in fresh running water,
packed in one pound tins, and hermet-
ricallv sealed,

HIghwsyman In Orangeburg.

ORANaEBURa, Nov. 10.-Since our
worthy county treasurer was assassinated
two attempts at night time have been
made to rob people on the way home: i.
Several days ago white man was held
up and shot at in Four Holes swamp,
and now comes the report that the
Messrs. Filder, two highly respected
young men, were forced In this same
swamp to give up all their money at the
point of two double barrelled shot guns,
pointed directly at their heads. AS a
matter of fact, they gave up everything
that they were in possession Of, which
was $50 in bills and currency. The young
men had pistols with them, but the sud-
den command from the thick swamp
came: "Halt, throw up your hands," AS
they peered forward two glittering guns
were pointed directly at them. They
threw up their hands, and the brutal,
cowardly assassins came forward mask.

Help Yourself.

Fight your own battles. Hoe your
own row. Ask no favors Of anyone,
and you'll succeed five thousand times
better than one who is always beseech-
ing some ones patronage. No one
will ever help you as you help your
self, because no one will be so heartily
interested in your affairs. The first
step will not be such long one per-
haps; but, carrying your own way up
the mountain, you make each one lead
to another, and stand firm in that
while you chop another out. Men
who have made fortunes are not those
who had $4,000 given them to start
with, but started fair with a we'll
earned dollar or two. Men who have
by their own exertions acquired fame
have not been thrust into popularity
by puffs begged or paid for, or given
on friendly spirit. They have out
stretched their hands and touched the
public heart. Men who win love to
do their own wooing, and | never
knew man to fail as signally as one
who had induced his affectionate
grandmamma to speak a good word for
him. Whether you work for fame,
for love, for money, or for anything
else, work with your hands, heart and
brain. Say, II will" and some day
you will conquer. Never let any man
have it to say, ''I have dragged you
up" Too many friends hurt man
more than none at all.-Grace Green

Died for Love.

ATHENS, GA, Nov. 13.-At the door of
the home of her whom he loved and yet
whom he could never win, lay the pros
trate and dying form of Mr.. William Nc
Kinnon last night.
The last time had he implored the
Young lady to give him her hand in mar
riage, and, failing, had swallowed the
deadly drug that sent his old soul into
eternity.
1t seems that MI. McKinnon, who was
about twenty-five years of age, falling in
love with Miss Hattie Sailors, pretty
young lady living in East Athens, but
she did not reciprocate his attentions,
alleging as her reason his dissipated
habits.
Time and again, it is said, he asked her
hand in marriage, and was as many times
refused.
Then he commenced brooding over his
troubles and last night drank nearly two
ounces of laudanum.
AS the drug was beginning to take
effect his mind involuntarily wandered
to the little cottage where lived the one
being around whom were centered all the
affections of his ardent and youthful ma
ture.
And his footsteps turned in that direc-
ton. AS he walked on the powerful
drug took deeper and deeper effect, and
as be entered the gateway through which
he had often bounded with swelling
heart and elastic step, he reeled and fell
heavily upon the doorsteps.
The noise brought the inmates of the
house to the door, and in few moments
they had sent word to some friends to
summon physician.
DR.. Quillian responded and worked
with the unfortunate young man for
several hours in vain attempt to coun-
teract the effects of the deadly drug.
Mr.. McKinnon breathed his last about
four hours after taking the laudanum.
The funeral will occur tomorrow morn
ing and the remains of the unfortunate
young man will be laid to rest in Oconee
cemetery.
MI. McKinncn was a hard-working
young mechanic, but dissipated.

A Remarkable ReVulsI0n.

On Tuesday, November 9Th, the Re-
publicans carried Hamilton County,
Ohio, by @, 900 majority.
They supposed naturally that they had
complete control there and would hold it
long time. Last Tuesday. just one
week after the congressional contest,
there was special election in Hamilton
county, and. behold the mighty Repub-
lican majority of seven days before van
ished and the Democrats carried the day
by $500, electing their candidate for
judge of the insolvency court.
This is one of the most remarkable
political revulsions that has ever occur
red in Ohio. Cincinnati frequently votes
for one party at one election and for the
other at the next trial. In that city, as
in the country at large, there is great
independent element. Neither the Re-
publicans nor the Democrats have abso-
lutte control there, and the same thing
may be said of the country.
The time has passed when it is only
necessary to appeal to voters to stand by
the 'good old Democratic party" or "the
grand old Republican party" There are
several million voters in the United
States who belong to no party, and they
hold the balance of power. They vote
for the party and the candidates in whom
they have most confidence. They are a
constant and healthy menace to all par
ties, conservative influence and re-
liable safeguard of our Institutions

The church at West Deer Isle,
Me-, started from hens egg. The
people had long felt the need of a
church edifcc, and finally meeting
of those interested was called to con-
slider the question Of ways and means.
One of the party-a lady-brought a
hens egg as contribution, that be-
ing the only donation in that gathering.
The gift was accepted, other donations
followed, and the church was built.

In Peru the cotton plant grows to be

After careful consideration Of the
question, the Emperor Of Germany and
the Berlin war Office have now decided
that artificial teeth are to be provided
free Of charge to the soldiers on the
ground that the troops are better able to
render good service with sound grinders
than with teeth which either ache or are
inadequate to the performance Of their
work Of justification.
In Chicago, the other day, Willie
Johnson, aged eleven, took all the mon
ey and Jewels he could find at home and
eloped with Maud Cooper, aged nine.
They went to minister and asked him
to perform the marriage ceremony. The
astonished preacher called policeman,
and Willie ran away. A few hours
later Willie returned to his home, very
crestfallen, with only IS cents in his pock-
ct.
There is 30 much wheat and the
price is so low in the Northwest this sea-
son that many farmers are leaving their
wheat standing. In Spokane County,
Oregon, there are number of fields OF
wheat, ranging between one and two
hundred acres each, and yielding eigh-
teen or twenty bushels to the acre,
which the owners will not cut, as the
returns would not cover the cost of har-
vesting.
The talk about "hard times," OF
which the country has recently heard 80
much, does not seem to have reached
the ears of the board of missions of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, which is
now in annual session in Brooklyn. 1t
is appropriating more that million dol
lars for carrying on its work in foreign
mission fields next year, and this great
sum is only one item in the long list
of the expenditures for which Ameri-
can Methodists provide from year to
year.
= Senator Sherman was interviewed in
Washington on Monday about the prob
able work of Congress and said: ut is
too early to say what the Republican
Congress may do. It is upward Of year
till the 54th Congress meets. In that
time conditions may change and
render present policies ine1pedient
and impracticable. There is small
likelihood of an extra session. A
Democratic President is not prone to call
together Republican Congress In ex-
traordinary session, except in case Of ex-
treme emergency. Whether The Repub-
licans will modify the present tariff laws
or pass new measure is matter of fu-
ture determination. No one one can
tell. know there is some talk Of se-
lecting Western man. but there is really
nothing to divide the West from the East
on that proposition. The silver question
may cut some figure, but it will probably
not decide the nomination Of the Presi-
dent"
