particulars of the Murder of ~. II.
Goodwin by Eddie smith.
Valdosta, Ga, Aug. 23.-saturday was a
bloody day In Lowndes county. The trag-
edy at Hahlra in which d. b. Goodwin
lost his life at the hands of Eddie Smith
was one of the most atrocious in the his
tory of the county If reports are true.
Godwins wife and child were sick when
the row between the men started and his
child was laying a corpse when the kill
ing occurred. Goodwin was on his way to
get neighbor to go after a coffin in
which to bury the little one when Smith
met him and the tragedy was enacted.
According to reports, The row between
the men occurred about some hogs. Cod
win lives in a house belonging to Mr.. j.
r. MCNEIL and situated In a field. In
chasing his hogs with dogs Smith ran
them under Godwln's house. The dogs
were barking and making a great noise
and Goodwin went out and asked Smith to
call them off, stating that his wife and
child were both i'll and the noise was Wor-
rying them. Smith refused 10 call the
dogs away and Goodwin tod him that no
gentleman would act in such a manner.
There the matter dropped. That was on
Friday. That night GodwIns child died
and early the next morning he started
to a neighbours house 70 get some one
10 go after a coffin for him. As he left
his place ne met Smith, who demanded
of him a retraction of what he said the
day before Goodwin refused to retract
anything he had said and asked Smith
not to bother him in his grief Smith
jerked out his pistol and began firing,
killing Goodwin almost instantly. The
murderer left Immediately and Is said 10
have gone toward Brooks county The
sheriff went up from here, but saw moth
ing of him search was made in
Brooks, but no trace was gotten
of him. It is said that Smith was
helped to make his escape by parties in
the neighborhood. The search for him
will be continued. The community is
thoroughly indignant over the crime and
every effort will be made to bring the
murderer 20 Justice
On the same day Mr.. John Rollins hap
pened to a very serious accident west of
where the killing occurred. He was rid
ing a horse carrying a loaded gun with
him. His horse SHE'D at something and
Rollins fell Off. The gun was discharged
as 1t struck the ground, most Of the load
entering Rollins face. His injuries,
though very severe, were not regarded as
dangerous.
on the same day there was a fusllade
between desperate negroes and one of the
most prominent citizens Of the southern
part OF the county. The citizen, Mr.. NJ.
NJ Smith. was sitting on his porch with
his family when a crowd Of negroes came
by. one Of the negroes was using all
SORTS 'of profanity, and was 30 boisterOus
that Mr. Smith demonstrated with him
calling his attention 10 the fact that ladies
were on the porch. The negro became very
violent ar this, ana began 10 heap all
manner Of curses upon the white people.
Then, pulling his pistol, he began 20 fire

LIQUOR QUESTION IN HALL.
Not Clear That q Dispensary Elec-
ton Can BE Held.

Gainesville, Ga, Aug. @.-There has
been deal OF talk about a dispensary
for Gainesville here Of late. The promi-
nent business men OF the county are in
favor OF such a measure. But II now seems
that dispensary cannot be legally estab-
llshed in Hall county. On December 90,
1895, an election was held In this
county TO decide the favor Of
the voters as 20 prohibition. 1t went dry
by large majority. Under the local op-
ton law another election cannot be held
in four years And when The four years
shall have ended the question arises
whether or not there is any law allowing
an election TO be held for a dispensary,
The county wants dispemnry but does
not want barroOms. And the question VIII
probably be hard 20 solve.
Camp meetings are in order ana great
crowds are attending them.

the commission houses for outside account,

piOye.

Nj. George L. Davis. who is employed at
the navy yard and lives in Benning, was
attacked On the PenpsylNania avenue
bridge about $50 O'Clock last night by two
men, but fortunately escaped injury or loss.
Mr.. Davis stated today that ne left home
about o'clock and drove to the city proper
to attend n lodge meeting. He reached the
bridge about 9:3O O clock on his return, ana
was driving slowly across the structure,
when he was suddenly stopped by two
well-dressed men, one of whom seized the
horse by the Bride while the other ap-
preached the side of the carriage, and
spoke 10 Mr.. Davis in a gruf voice The
latter demanded to be allowed 10 proceed
on his way, when one sof the men answer
ed that they We're not yet done with him,
and made Il move us though to attack him.
The only means of defense possessed by
Mr. Davis at the time was a rawhlde whip,
and with this he rained 81 number of severe
blows upon the face and head OF ms aSSali-
ant. The latter drew {, knife and made
slash at Mr.. Davis. but fortunately only
succeeded in cutting a cash IN his coat
Mr. Davis managed To urge his horse for
ward, and the miscreanta' fed.
MIR. Davis said it " as his belief that those
