Athens Banner. Dawson Patman, col
ored, died Thursday at his home on Prince
avenue at the age Of IS years. His death
brings up the story of his dealings with
the Athens Park and Improvement Com
pany when that company desired TO pur-
chase his home. Everybody whoever
went out Prince avenue knows the little
celapldated shanty standing just at the
entrance to the park. Well, along with IL
goes an acre lot which runs back a CON
siderable length. This lot the park and inn
provenent company wished 70 purchase
and all kinds of overtures were made
TO the old negro, but Of no avail He was
offered fabulous prices for the little old
hilly lot. but he couldn't be moved. 1t
was his and he would't sell Il to anybody
for anything. He wanted to live and die
there. So his wish was granted He
OlQI sell It. ne uFeQ there, and NeSler-
day he died there. Hanging over this place
Is an old Indian tradition of interest,
which is recalled by the death of the old
negro. Fully a century ago, according to
this tradition. an old Indian squaw took
up her abode in this lonely place, where
the civilization of the white man had
not yet appeared. She brought with her a
little bright eyed girl who bore the fea-
lures of the Anglo-SaXon, and whom she
had stolen from wealthy parents IN Vir-
ginia. She was very devoted to the child,
and watched over her with great care.
She seemed to be afraid that some one
would come and take her away one
night, in the midst of a raging tempest,
the girl disappeared. The old Indian
was very much attached TO her. for she
had grown to young wcmanhood. She
hunted everywhere for he T, until worn
out and exhausted, she returned to her
wigwam almost crazed. The loss of the
girl drove the old Indian to desperation
and then to suicide. Before killing her
self she pronounced the ground upon
which she lived as sacred, and forbade
its sale to anyone under penalty of ter
rible curse Detailing the person who
should sell it. Traditions sometimes have
curious effects, but those who knew old
Dawson Patman say that he never paid
any attention to this story, but simply
wanted to own his old home as long as
he lived.

ported TO Sheriff Ballard, who arrested
Rice at once and confined him in the Jail
to await the action of the grand jury,
which was then in session. The grand
. jury very promptly indicted him, and on
Friday after considerable effort. a jury
was impanneiled and the trial begun,
which lasted until Monday night, when
the speeches were concluded and the case
was given 10 the jury, who were out un-
I'll Tuesday afternoon, when they re-
turned a verdict as above. The sem
tence will be life Imprisonment in the pen
itentiary.
Noah Mccoy who was the victim OF
one of the most daring crimes ever com
mItted in this county on the night Of
Sept. %. and who lay for some time lin
gering between life and death, died re-
Gently at what is known as the Tiger
in the northwestern portion OF Alachua
county. Sherih Hillary was summoned
to the scene Immediately after the crime,
and at once commenced Investigations.
He found Mccoy lying almost at the
point Of death from the wounds he had
received. He was able however to tell the
story of the crime which is in substance
as follows While out walking one night
in the vicinity of the Tiger" he was ac-
COsted by Tom Eams, who called him OF
short distance from the door of the
Tiger" He said he had considerable
wen, he did not apprehend any trouble.
When they had proceeded a few steps
some one jumped from behind a tree and
knocked him down with a club, and Earns
struck him another blow as he was fall
ing. After he was down and almost un-
conscious, some one cut him in the neck
with a knife, inhicting an ugly cash.
Then some one got astride of his body and
went through his pockets. They left him,
believing him dead, as he learned from
their conversation while they were rihing
his pockets. He lost consciousness COM
pletely shortly afterwards, and did not
recover until he had been found and was
being cared for He had S147 in green
backs and about 50 in silver, all Of which
was taken from his pockets. Sheriff Hill
larry had no trouble in arresting Tom
Fans, white, and Ed Thomas, colored.
whom Mccoy had implicated, they having
made no effort to escape, believing their
victim dead. They were taken before
Justice Il. T. Smallwood and given a pre-
liminary examination. Eams confessed
his guilt, while Thomas stubbornly denied
any connection with the affair. Both Of
them failed to give the bond required
and were brought to this city, where they
are now in Jail, and will have to answer
to the charge of murder Mccoy, the
murdered man, was a respectable white
man, and had been foreman of one of the
phosphate mines in that vicinity for some
time. Tom Fans, the other white man
in the case, is about 25 years old, and is a
bad-looking character, and it is said that
he is wanted in Georgia, whence, by his
own statement, he ran away after killing
man. He is from Cedartown, Ga.

A Il
erpool, said to be due to the imminenCe Of
the Cars death, caused a further decline
here and the whole list closes at the
lowest prices on record, every month sell
ing well below cents. The fluctuations,
however, were within narrow limits
January opened at points lower at Sol
declined to 5.59c. rallied to the opening
price and again weakened, closing at 5.59c
bid, with the tone steady. The expectation
of very heavy receipts for the coming
week, the fine picking weather at the
south, and the virtual expiration of the
time within which frost would be likely
TO cause serious curtail to the crop, render
the outlook for higher prices at the mo-
ment very dtscouraging. Capital would
undoubtedly be tempted to take hold OF
cotton at present prices as an investment
were il not for the ga agerness shown by
southern holders to turn the staple into
money at whatever sacrifice. This creates
apprehension that the crop may be nearer
100000 bales than 9000,uoO and investors
prefer to hold off and await developments
Bulls and bears alike are to-day asking:
Where and when will the decline stop.
One of the Oldest and shrewdest mem
bers OF the exchange said to-day: AL
though prices may go considerably lower,
this is time to buy and not sell cotton
but the times are so extraordinary with
all commodities selling about half their
former value that, while l advise my
friends to buy, I urge them not to buy
more than one-tenth of what they feel
able to protect This is a fair sample of
the cautious kind Of bullish sentiment
that has survived the big decline.'

A Philadelphian came to this city re-
Gently to visit friend who lived In an up
town fathouse, says the New York Irl-
bune. He pressed the button of the cleo
trio door-bell and the door quickly sprung
ajar. Promptly closing the door he waited
few moments and again pressed the but
ton. Again the door sprung open, ana
again he carefully closed It. After this
operation had been several times repeated
his friend, much annoyed by the persls-
tent ringing of the bell, hastily ran down
stairs to learn the cause OF his annoyance
Meeting his visitor in the vestibule he
asked why he had not entered. The vlsl-
tor replied that he had been waiting Tor
some one 10 come and let him in.

Then he explained how, from his cosey
