A MILL HAND SHOT
A Hostile Move Against the superin-
tendent May Cost Him His Life.

Macon Ca, Dec. 14-C. f. Davis, SUI
perintendent Of the Georgia mills and
elevator, tonight shot and, in all proba-
bility, mortally wounded Fillmore Good
wyn, who up to last Thursday was an en-
ploye of the mills. Davis is 26 years of
age and came from Charlotte. N. c. He
has been superintendent of the mills two
years. GOODWIN is about 80 years old
and has lived in Macon many years. Both
are unmarried.
The shooting occurred about o'clock
on Fifth street, near the Macon foundry
and machine works. Both men give very
near the same statement of the affair.
Davis left the mills and started home.
and overlook him at the place mentioned.
Davis stopped.
Goodwin stepped up and told him he
was going to get even with him, at the
same time making a movement as if to
pull off his coat. He seemed to change
his mind, however, and reached back to-
ward his hip pocket. Davis then fired,
first from his coat pocket and then draw
ing his pistol, fired again. Both shots
took effect, one In the abdomen and one
in the neck Goodwin was carried home
and is attended by DIR. Hope, who thinks
his chance to live slim, and that he will
probably be dead by morning. Davis hur-
ried from the place of the shooting to the
residence of r. H. Plant president of
the Georgia Mills and Elevator Company,
and reported what he had done. Mr..
Plant advised him to surrender to the
police and accompanied him to the sta
ton where he surrendered. He was per-
mltted to remain in the chiefs office
awaiting the result of Goodwyn'S wounds.

ABOUT CAPT. BOYCOTT.
A Man Whose Name Has Been IncOr-
pOrnted in the English Language.
From the New York Journal.

p0rnted In the English Language.
From the New York Journal.
He was grizzled, square set and a trife
understood. When the horse show opened
he was there. He was present when the
band played the final Home, Sweet
Home" He turned up yesterday at the
sale of horses, and he witnessed the work
OF the auctioneer. But nobody recognized
the man.
And yet his name is known wherever
the English language Is spoken. More
than that. 1t is a component part of our
speech. As noun or verb, it is equally
Virile and significant. IL is identified with
struggles that have before now shaken
the social structure TO its center. The
strong arm of the law has smitten ii.
1t has provoked the maledictOns of the
rich. The poor have appealed to it for
aid against their taskmasters.
Capt Boycott-for the man in question
was he and no other-was a middle-aged
man when he first filed the public eye
in 1880. But he is hale and wholesome
looking still. Whatever his faults, he
was not lacking in faithfulness to his
employer Lord Erne. And the men who
inaugurated the first boycott admitted
his bulldog pluck. That pluck failed not
during the trying times at Tough Mask,
when redcoats, peasantry, potheen, buck
shot and landlords were mingled in the
pleasing confusion peculiar to the popular
Irish drama.
The captain has not been to this coun-
try before since 1881. He is now visit
ing friends who are identified with horse
breeding interests up the state and in
Canada.
The square shoulders, the deeply set,
shrewd eyes and the long, thin lips are
the features of Boycotts physical make
up that impress themselves on an OBJ
server. His beard is short, closely woven
and a reddish-brown grizzle. Both IL and
the mustache grow sparsely around the
lips, so that the lines and contour of
the mouth are visible. Boycott has
knack of drawing in those lips of his
that makes him look the very incarnation
of will power His facial angle is good,
but his nose is blunt and coarse. The
head is small and straight from nape to
crown. 1t is the head OF a soldier. The
ears are fiat, large-lobed and hairy. The
jaw, curiously enough, is pointed and
retreating. A thin growth of crisp gray
ish hair covers the lower half of the skull.
Boycott talks but little Ask him a
question and he scans your face for a
moment before replying, as If seeking
hidden meaning to your query. Then
he shifts his shoulders, turns from you
trife and replies, his eyes fixed on some
distant object. He has low and indeed
pleasant voice. His accent is distinctly
English AS he speaks he keeps his left
hand hidden in his trousers pocket. The
thumb of his right hand is used to flick
away imaginary straw specks from his
vest and coat. This Ticking is manifest
ly the outcome OF nervousness.

New Orleans. La, Dec. 1.-THE trouble
between Maj. Hearsey and Congressman
Boatner grows out of the Foster cam
paisn. Col Boatner is at present bitterly
o1posed to the denomination of the COVER
nor. He had at first been extremely antag-
onistic to the governor, but subsequently
went to his side and thereafter changed
his views again. Mr.. Boatner is president

They were the basis of a challenge between

Editor Chevis of the Baton Rouge Advo-

fer. That affair was amicably settled.
The States. which is edited by Maj.
Hearsey was drawn into the fight in
Ouachita parish through the structures
upon Gov. Fosters administration, which
tie States is now supporting, though
strongly opposed to Gov. Foster four
years ago. The News charged that the
States was influenced in its support of
Gov. Foster by the fact that it had been
given the city printing contract and the
contract had been corruptly acquired.
Maj. Hearsey through the States de-
nOunced the News charges as a cowardly
lie Col. Boatner was in Washington
then. He came home and on Dec. 10 an
nounced that he was responsible as the
editor of the News. On the same day he
wrote a note to Maj. Hearsey saying he
would demand satisfaction for the at
lacks made upon the editor of the News
on the following day he printed a bitter
attack in the News on Maj. Hearsey, in
which he used the terms "strutting brag-
Hearsey, and reiterating the printing
contract charge. Maj. Hearsey consid-
cred that Col Boatner, under the code,
had no right to attack him, once having
sent a note promising a demand for sat

Thereupon the States printed yesterday
its scathing denunciation of Col. Boat

day with President McLain of one of the
Monroe banks. He also called in PreSi-
dent Crandell of the Southern Telephone

are reticent
Both men are widely known in the state
and their friends are naturally hopeful
that a hostile meeting will be averted.
The present condition of affairs gives
rise to the belief that there will be no
street encounter
An effort was made by an outsider to
have both gentlemen arrested, but Judge
Whitaker did not consider he ought to
entertain the affidavit at this time.
