FOUGHT TO THE DEATH.
One Man Killed and One MOrtaI1y
Wounded Mt FoIkston.


Folkston Ca, Oct. 19.-The opening of
court in Charlton county to-day at Trad
ers Hill was marked by a most serious
and fatal shooting and cutting ARRAY, as
a result of which Fred Robinson lies dead
and Benjamin Williams is so seriously in
jured that he may not recover.
1t appears that bad blood had existed
between the men for some time. and was
renewed by a fight between one of Rob-
inson's boys and some one else, In which
Williams interferred, and Robinson's boy
got whipped.
Both men met at the court house at
Traders Hill this morning and Robinson
went at Williams, evidently with inten-
ton of whipping him. Williams backed
off and Robinson still approached. VIII
liams drew a revolver and fired twice over
Roblnsons head trying to scare him. Rob-
inson then drew knife and caught hold
of Williams coat. Williams then shot him
once just below the heart from the effects
of which he died a couple of hours later.
not, however, before he had cut Williams
half a dozen times in the chest and abdo-
men, making wounds which WILL in all
probabilities, prove fatal.
Robinson was a large and heavy built
man, about 40 years old. Williams Is a
man of medium size, about 80 years old.
Both men have families, Williams was
evidently looking for trouble as he sup
piled himself with fresh cartridges this
morning and, it is said, was heard to re-
mark that he expected to get into a
fight to-day at Traders Hill.
Both men had the reputation of being
bad men, and this affair is said to be
the eliminating of fued of long standing.

Macon News: North Macon will be an
nexed to the city OF Macon. a bill is now
being prepared and will be presented at
the coming session of the legislature pro-
viding for this annexation. The territory
to be annexed amounts TO about 275 600
acres, making territory about one-quar-
ter the size Of the present municipal lin
its Of Macon. The new addition TO Macon
win come I'm without asking any conces-
sions from the city. Under the charter
any territory annexed may ask that all
the money collected in taxes be spent
upon the Improvement Of the territory
annexed but this will not be asked by
the addition Of North Macon. In this way
an immense tax paying stretch Of land will
be added to Macon without any demand
being made upon the city. Not only this,
but the newly Incorporated suburb will
nave gas and water and electric lights. A
considerable stretch of sidewalks have
been laid down and the improvements are
rapidly going forward. The Macon and
Indian Spring street car line Will run over
The new bridge and win make a belt COW
erng the suburb for the convenience Of
the residents. The new suburb is within
a few minutes walk of the court house
and is perfect location for suburban res
licences. Melrose Heights, that part of 1t
lying above the boulevard, is a beautifully
wooded slope overlooking Macon and the
river which appears al its best advantage
as ii winds at the foot of the beautiful
stretch Of meadow land between the
Nights and the river. The addition of
North Macon Melrose Heights to Macon
viii be a good thing for the city, and the
fact that it Is incorporated as a part of
the city will naturally lead to a large in
Yestment in the residence lots.

Court Decides In Favor of Charles A.
Phillips.

The decision of the Appellate Court in
the case Of Charles A. Phillips against
Sarah j. Browne ct al, was handed down
yesterday afternoon and it is to the effect
that Mr.. Phillips is entitled TO lien on
certain lands transferred 10 Mrs. Browne
by the late Henry pitman. The court
says that all parties had confidence in Mr..
pitman's ability To pay for the houses
that he bad contracted with MIR. Phillips
10 build and that IL seems almost certain
that this confidence would have been
justified but for his untimely death.
Even though the court holds that there
is no evidence of fraud it also holds as
Mr.. Phillips did not know of the trans
fer To Mrs. Browne and went ahead and
finished his work on the houses he was
building for Mr.. Pitman he is entitled to
equitable relief
Tho phcnix Savings Bank is named as
joint defendant with Mrs. Browne is de-
Clared To be in no way responsible To the
plaintiff and TO be entitled to Judgment
for costs. The amount due Mr.. Phillips is
$500.

awkward five minutes he was at last en-
