Simknis also interceded ane tried TO
get him to lay aside personal diffcr-
ences in his office.
Mr.. Tillman replied that this was
as good q place as any to settle this
matter, and that was no gentleman,
and had acted the d. scoundrel
throughout.
replied that any man who said
that 1 was nc SsS1atti!eman, and had act

tol. doing SO at tho Same time, he,
however, firing first, the ball entering
through the top of my hat.
My shot took effect in his chin.
He then retreated out of the Office into
the hall and my remaining shots were
fired at him outside of the office.
Only one Of the bullets hit me, and
that was the last he fired. This bull
let grazed my right arm and entered
the heshy part of my shoulder.
A." 1t seems that of my four shots one
of them hit him in the chin, one in his
right hand, another grazed the inside
There were only eight shots fired in
all. He fired four aud four.
"The report has been circulated
that my brother, Mr.. N. G.. Evans, was
In an adjoining room and came rush
ing out and fired two shots at Mr.. Till
man. This is without foundation, and
utterly untrue, as can be substantiated
by two reliable gentlemen with whom
he was in conversation on legal busi-
ness ut the time. He was not aware

that he. 1t is true that he, with
these gentlemen, came outof the Office

FARM NOTES.
Valuable Hints on a Variety of Inter
esting Topics.

cSttnS Topics.
The extremely low price Of cotton
does not keep cotton growers, who
raise their own meat and bread, from
still taking q somewhat hopeful look
OF future prospects.
In order to get ahead in farming,
one must have head. and u tolerably
long one ut that. IN fact the farmor
Of to-day must be u sort of hustling
subsoilcr in getting at the bottom facts
OF the business.
Wheat will henccforth be 81 rival OF
corn for hog feed, even when bctter
prices rule. Especially when ground
up with oats and corn is it unrivaled
for good meat and fattoning qualities.
1t should always be we'll soaked to be
we'll assimilatcd.
The farmers of Chatooga County
Ga, have a much larger acreage Of
wheat now growing than formerly.
Evidently, there is IL determination TO
grow all that is consumed. To follow
this course will lead to prosperity in a
very few years.
Norfolk, the leading seaport city Of
Virginia, has one OF the largest horse
mgkets in the South. The supply
cofues mainly from Kentucky and the
States in the Wost and Northwest.
Bryors come from the principal Att
lahtic coast line cities.
Whe eggs from hens will hatch bet
ter than those from pullets, and chicks
from hens will be stronger and more
vigorous. Old hens will also lay as
wel as pullets, If properly managed,
and they will usually begin to lay di-
rectly after moulting. Food and care
will show it's effect, no matter what
the breed may be.
Carroll County, Georgia, 10 reported
to have u larger number of hogs than
for many years. 1t is said that a
couple of well-grown March pigs will
bring more money in that locality than
bale of scent cotton. By raising
onoS supplies at home, and making
cottbn the surplus crop, prosperity
will be assured.
Bussia has produced this year, ac-
cCding to the estimate OF the minister
o1agriculture, 272,000,000 bushels of
wheat, as compared with 10000, 600
| l$tyear. Her rye crop is 792,000,000
ltlshels, as against T52,O00,000 year
}go. The barley yield is 176,00O,0 900,
And that OF oats 672,000,000. There is
mo famine In the czar's empire this
year.
Potata raisers of the East receive
cents per bushel at the farm. To equal

AS His mother Used to Do.

He criticised her puddhngs and he found
fault with her cake;
He wished she'd make such biscuit as his
mother used to make;
She didn't wash the dishes and she didn't
make n stew,
Nor even mend his stockings, as his
mother used to do.
His mother had six children, but by night
her work was. dome -
His wife seemed drudging always, yet she
only had the one.
His mother always was we'll dressed, his
wife would be SO, too,
III only she would manage as his mother
used to do.
All, well She was not perfect, though she
tried to do her best,
Until at length she thought her time had
come to have rest,
SO when one day he went the same old
rigmarole all through,
She turned and boxed his ears, just as his
mother used to do.

to tho work that has been done by

rock crusher and a steam engine and
to pay one hundred dollars. p

RHEUMATISM PREVALENT.
Caused by the Sudden Changes o.
Temperature.

Rheumatism Is more prevalent here than
ever before. When this disease fastens upon
an individual with its soreness and pain, swell
ing the joints, rendering him helpless In his
movements, he sindeed an object of pity. The
slight pain in the back, pain or stiffness of the
Joints or muscles, is a warning indication of an
impoverished condition of the blood, a low
state of health, and If not attended to at once,
means rheumatism. Rheumatism can now be
cured.
Since the introduction Of DR.. David Kenne-
dy's Favorite Remedy, there have been fewer
sufferers. Favorite Remedy drives out rheu
matte poison from the blood, restores the cir
culation, strengthens the nerve power. The
best proof of its value, Is the good 1t has done.
"I was afflicted with intlammatory rheuma-
tism for fifteen years." writes Mr.. E. p.
layer, of East Nassau, N. Y. 80 severe that
was supposed to be cripple for life. Under
physicianB treatment grew worse. Dr. Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy helped me from the
time first used 1t, and entirely cured me-"
The beautiful daughter of Mr.. James Nc
Farland, of DeMoines, Iowa, was helpless for
months with sciatic rheumatism. After few
doses of DIR. Kennedy's Remedy, she began to
grow better, appetite improved, slept well, and
continuing its use, was cured.
Mr. G.. Lansing, of Troy, N. ", had rheu-
matism so bad that he had to be turned over
in bed After using DIR. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy but short while was restored to
health. Why then suffer with rheumatism OF
neuralgia? This medicine will help you.

SOUNDLY THRASHED.
McRoberts Looks For Trouble and Sue
ceeds in Finding it.

William T. McRoberts, well known Can
ton man, celebrated New Years day by getting
intoxicated He was in prominent
bar room at o'clock last evening and so was
Mead johnson, the colored pugilist. Nc
Roberts and Johnson had quite discussion
which resulted in the former getting mad. He
wanted to fight johnson and took off his hat,
overcoat and coat for the purpose of doing it
properly. Friends of johnson told him he
should not pay any attention to McRoberts as
he was intoxicated and johnson, being colored,
would have to stand the bluntof public opinion
and would get into trouble. johnson
very sensibly refused to fight and even took
more from McRoberts than any white man
would have taken. When McRoberts found
that johnson would not accommodate him
with bout he wanted to lick anybody in the
house. The bartender then ordered him out
of the place, not desiring any trouble there.
He refused to go and it was necessary to
eject him by force, but he Immediately re-
turned to get even with the bartender.
Officers Brisbin and Reed were then called TO
arrest McRoberts, but before they arrived he
had succeeded in getting the bartenderto ac-
commodate him with a scrap. The bartender
threw glass at McRoberts. The glass missed
him and struck the wall. The bartender then
came around from behind the bar and when he
went back again McRoberts was soundly
thmshed and got what he was looking for, a
black eye and a peeled nose.
Dr. NJ. ID. Bush and some other friends of
McRoberts later succeeded in securing his re-
lease through an order from the mayor.

AGAIN ROASTS BURNS.
His Reply Provokes Coal OPP
orator Rend.
ISSUES A RED HOT STATEMENT.
The Chicago Man Tells why He EJvae
the First Attack on the English LaJos
Leader in Pittsburg-says He Deserved
All He Got.

CHICAGO, Dec. 8l.-W. p. Rend, tho
coal magnate, replying to structures upon
his criticisms of English Labor Delegate
John Burns, NJ. p, makes public the
following statement:
"When, at the late PittsbUrg conven.
zion of operators and miners, Mr.. Burns
presence became known to me by a mo-
lion of the chair that the Courtesies of
she meeting be extended to chat gentle
man. felt inpeled TO perform most
imperative duty.
"My language on the occasion may
seem severe, but it was mono too much
so. 1t was deserved. 1t prevented an
unfriendly stranger from using that oc-
casion to treat us with fresh insult and
further indignity. Mr.. Burns came to
this country in representative charac-
ter. He is noted labor leader and
prominent member of the British par
lament. On this account hewas treated,
on arrival in America, with courteous
consideration.
"Forgetful of every sense of propriety
and every obligation of decorum to q
stranger seeking hospitality he made
offensive criticism of our domestic af-
fairs. He attempts to justify imperti-
nence by telling US THAI he has said
nothing more than appears III our own
public papers. He should know that
! the right Of criticism of or own matters
belongs to our own people and to she
citizens of our own country.
"It does not belong to foreign inter-
lopers. They should not be permitted
to exercise it. There is q marked differ
ence between criticism intended for re-
form and criticism intended for the graf
ification, enmity and foreign abuse.
81 feel quite sure that the respectable
sentiment of the very country he came
from will condemn him fOr his impru-
prieties in this country.
"H an American congressman was to
go to England and so far forget the dig
nifty of his position as to behave as Burns
has behaved here he would be denounced
by the intelligent and decent opinion OF
America as an unworthy representative.
| OF course no American member OF con-
Rress would act in this way.
"If any prominent American was to
| deliver in London or any other English
city addresses Of malicious criticism OF
| evils found there he would be probably
mobbed by an infuriated populace.
Were the offense committed in France
| or Germany, or elsewhere in Europe, the
| guilty offender would be given his pass
| port and ordered. to leave the country.
In the past American indulgence has
| been too often outraged by foreign visi-
| tors and foreign frauds. -
