AN IMPORTANT MURDER CASE.
IL Has. Been Postponed Because of
Lack of Witnesses.


Lack of Witnesses.
Abbeville, Ga, Oct 5.-The case Of the
state VS.. DR.. w. J. Powell, charged with
the murder of s. j. Reid, at Rochelle, Ga,
in April, 1895, has been postponed to the
second Monday in November, on account
of the absence of important witnesses.
Great interest is felt in this case, in con-
sequence of the prominence Of the defend
ant, and the extensive circle of relatives
of deceased throughout the county.
Frank Williams, a negro, was convicted
yesterday of an assault with attempt to
murder. and sentenced to ten years in the
penitentiary
The Ocmulgee river is lower at this
point than for years. The river steamer
City of HawkinsVlle, is tied up at her
wharf unable to move till there is a rise
in the river. The low water is prejudicial,
also, to the timber and lumSer men here
who have large RATS in readiness 20 go

The shed of the saw mill of Smith &
Thomas, and quantity of lumber were
destroyed by fire near Seville this county,
at an early hour yesterday morning. The
mill was removed 10 Ocilla, Irwin county,
several months ago.
Mr.. Ed. Pollock, a young farmer living
near Abbeville, was stricken with Daraly-
sis last Friday, but is rapidly recovering.

BLALOCK Committee ECONOMY.
knock Dollars on the Pay of Court
StenOGrnphers.


StenOgraphers.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct Cit is understood
that the Blalock committee, in its forth
coming report to the House, will recon-
mend the reduction of the salaries of
stenographers of the supreme court.
There are six of these stenographers, one
for each justice, and the salary is $1,5OO
per annum. The rule of the court is to
appoint no one who has not been admit
ted TO the bar as the duties of the position
are largely those of a law or brief clerk.
When the bill was passed by the legis-
lature last fall providing for three addi-
tional stenographers the amount of sal
airy was objected 10 in the Senate. Sena-
tor Carter moved to make it $500. and
afterward changed the amount to $1,000
Senator Battle insisted that the duties of
the position We're much more than those
of a stenographer, and the court could not
get competent men for $l,C00. on that
statement the motion to reduce the sal
airy was lost In nosing about the Capi-
tol for points to economic on, the Blalock
committee gave some attention to the mat
ter and 10 is reported that they will rec
ommend a reduction of the amount from
$1,000 to $l,200, possibly to $1,000.
