A Young Lady Accidentally Kills Her
Lover.

Fort VALLEY, GA, December IT,
Quite sad accident happened about two
miles from here Monday night. John
Bryant, young man about twenty years
Of age, was killed by his sweetheart, Miss
Belle James. It seems that the two
young people, with Miss James's sister,
Miss Lula, had been to candy pulling
at Mr.. Quick's home. near here.
On returning Bryant handed his pistol
to his sweetheart and asked her to shoot
it off. She snapped it several times and
Bryant took it and loaded it and after
cooking it told the girl to pull the trigger.
The pistol was pointed toward him and
the ball went just over his left eye into
bis brain, killing him instantly.
The girls did not know what to do.
Then other young people came along and
they told them what had happened.
The coroner impaneled jury to-day
and the verdict was that it was accidental
shooting that caused his death.
Bryant was the son of Mrs. l.. G. Bry-
ant, living near Fort Valley, and Miss
James is the daughter Of Mr. B. a..
James, who moved here several years
ago from Meriwether county.

Forty Killed.

RALEIGH, N. c., December 19.-There
was an explosion of gas In. the Cumnock
Dituminous coal minein Chatham county,
forty miles from here, this morning.
The regular day force Of sixty-six men

alive. The exact number of the dead is
not yet known, but from the best infor-
nation 1t is believed thirty-eight were
killed, although some say forty-one.
The explosion occurred at 8.45, its cause
not being known aud will not be until
after the removal Of Ghe dead. The fire
boss made the usual examination early
this morning and reported the atmos-
phere all right as late as 8 O'Clock. The
mine foreman made the same report.
The explosion took: away very little

chose who escaped nay the shock was
light. It Is thought many deaths resulted
from afterdamp.
There was quantity of dynamite in
the aine, and this exploded.
Seventeen of the dead men were piled
up at the shaft tonight None were
brought to the surface.
At o'clock to night, when twelve
men entared the mine to renew the
search, a hundred others stood around
and refused to enter the mine. Superin.
tendent Cant pleaded with them to assist
in the rescue, but only twelve would go
down. The heart stricken mothers,
wives and children have been crowding
around the shaft utterlng pi:irul cries for
their dead. !.
The searching party which entered the
mine tonight will bring up the dead
early tomorrow morning. The debris
killed many of those in cham ber No. l.
The bodies Of the seventeen 30 far receiv-

cases, having been almost entirely burn

They are: John Williams, face, hands
and arms burned {; William Smith, cuts
on head and face, burned; Dempsey Hal

Most Of the dead are natives Of North

Several weeks ago colored man
was thrown from the top OF dray load
of cotton in West Greenville, his head
was dashed against the wall of brick
warehouse and bale of cotton fell on hun.
His skull was crushed and split. A
quantity Of brain matter escaped from
his wounds and every body supposed his
death was only matter Of few hours.
Drs. Earle, Hewell and Pack attended
him. Now he has recovered completely
and is going around nearly as we'll as
usual, after one of the closest escapes
from death ever recorded. This case is
about Of the same kind as the recovery
of the Mckinney boy who had part of his
brains knocked out by a c., X. & W.

ture. The bill passed requiring the State
Treasurer to issue one hundred and
twenty dollars Of bonds In denominations
of ten dollars each, and to give each in
digent Confederate soldier six of the
bonds. The Atlanta Journal says: They
will pass as easily as ten dollar green
back, and will constitute part Of our
currency. They are to be received for all
debts due the State, and as received by
the Treasurer to be retired. They will
be paid out early next year. The widows
of Confederate soldiers were not forgotten.
Twenty thousand dollars was appropri-

- It appears from statistics compiled
from the provost marshals' reports during
the civil war that there were 278, ,644 deser-
tions from the union army. Ina large ma
jority of these cases, however, the ohense
was merely technical, and came properly
under the head of ''absence without
leaYe." The real deserters were not very
numerous, considering the number ol
enlistments, and it will be remembered
that the kindness of President Lincoln
saved many of them from punishment,
in spite Of the urgent appeals of military
commanders for the strict enforcement oi

Eloquently Painted.

The answer to Governor Evans, inquiry
as to the decrease or increase OF drunken
ness In Pickens since the dispensary was
established here was that there is fifty
per cent more Of drunkenness now than
before. This of course was the candid
opinion Of the officer who made the report
to his E1cellency.
"a petition was circulated and generally
signed last week, respectfully and earn
estly praying the Governor to close the
Dispensary. The argument Of those who
voted for the Dispensary and favored the
establishment Of it at Pickens was that
some people would have whiskey anyway.
and we had just as well to make it lawful
and catch some profit for the State. But
when one stands here In this little CROSS
roads town and views the original devil
ment and devastation that 1t works, It
would sound like the overwrought i'm
agination of q fanatic to state the cold un-
colored facts. We might as we'll SAP that
people will stab and kill anyhow, and let
us make it lawful for them to do 80, and
catch some profit for the State. How
much money In the Golfers Of this sover-
/ eign State is fair compensation for one
shoeless; hungry, cold and innocent
child? How much is fair compensa-
sation for bright CHEEKY hearth made

the ravsges Of legalized whiskey? How
broken, crushed and bleeding heart and
cowed spirit of one wife How much ia
fair compensation for the agony that
one mother endures in one dark and
lonely home where her pale quivering
lips scarce breathe the anxious thought
,"EYhere Is my boy to-night?" It is dark
and dreary and cold, and the mad winds
as they pour their vengeance on the atu-.
lpefied father in the gutter, mock the love
and the loneliness Of the child. the wife
and the mother. If 1t is in any mans
power to remove the curse and he does 1t
not he is partner in the crime of the
drunken father. Can any of us who
voted for it escape the woe denounced
against him who puts the bottle to his
neighbours lips ? The State could raise
more money and much less hell with
lottery. It is idle to say that people are
viii often die for lack Of it. More die
from the abuse of it than ever live from

Some friends of the dispensary said 1t
was q step towards prohibition. Ifit
was, it is high time we we're taking an
other step. Already We have stood too
long on one foot.
Ifa Dispensary can be run decently and
In order, the one at Pickens has been so
run. So far as we know there are no just
complaints. The dispenser can never
tell whether the sale goes to sick. sober
or drunk men. It is there to sell. He Ia
paid to sell, and if he did not. sell the
shop would shut up. But the habits,
customs and conditions of country
town are i'll suited to the business. II
the county can escape by putting up the
profits in cold cash, by all means let us
buy the boom.-Pickens Sentinel.
