DISAGREEMENT Over the School. Camp
Meeting News Items and Personals.
SAssER, GA, July live had a very
enthusiastic school meeting here on
Saturday afternoon. There is nothing
like advancing the educational inter-
ests of a community, and to nave
| school meeting is the way to 90 it.
Get some of the trustees and patrons
together and let them squabble over ev-
erything needed and not agree on any,
thing and we are sure to have a g00d
school. The above is about what We
did Saturday evening. We are afraid
we will have to spend some Of our cash,
and we don't want 90 do that. We are
also afraid we will help to educate
somebody else's child; in fact, we are
afraid we will do a little more than we
ought, If we can use the old house and
hire a cheap teacher and get my
teacher we will be satisfied. The
'Sifter" would like to say to the pa
irons and trustees that cotton and corn
NAV decline in value out brain Will al
ways, in any line, cost something.
Now, let's have no more meetings like
the previous ones. We want to get TO-
gether and agree, go down IN our
pockets and put up our part IN cash
noW-or when we sell our hrst pale OF
cotton-depOsit it in bank, hlre

ty of the patrons or trustees, pay him
at the end of every month and help
him to have a good school. Our
souabbing does not hurt anyone but
our children directly, but it hurts
every interest in the community lndl-
rectly.
Camp meeting begun at Chicksaw-
hatchee Friday night and has been
largely attended. Several families are
tenting and a number of able minis
ters are in attendance. The crowd

A good rain would be acceptable

Were the Men Who Robbed Represent.
alive Singletary's Store in Schley
County and Then Shot Him.
Parties WHO came to Dawson early
Friday morning reported that while re-
sisting arrest by Sheriff E. B. Martin of
Lee county the two men who robbed the
store of Representative Singletary at La
Crosse, in Schley county, and shot him
nearly to death on last Tuesday night,
ware shot down in the edge of Leesburg
about 5 O'Clock Thursday afternoon.
The men were surrounded in swamp
bv Sheriff Martin, Deputy Sheriff Powell
and Mr.. w. E. Smith, and we're reclin-
ing on the ground when approached.
Mr.. Smith was ia front, and he called
out Hands up!" as soon as he saw the
strangers. The demand was promptly
complied with, but each of the fugitlves
held heavy revolver in his right hand
as he rose from the ground.
One of them fired at Mr.. Smith, but
the shot failed to take effect. Before he
could fire second time Sheriff Martin
shot him dead in his tracks, number OF
buck shot taking effect IN his head. His
companion then turned to flee, but was
shot down by the sheriff before he could
get out of range.
Both of the men were heavily armed,
and they swore they would never sur
render alive.
THE ROBBERS LOCATED.
About noon Thursday the two men
were seen at the turpentine still of Bar
oh Hun
Leesburg. Williams suspected the men,
titled Sheriff Martin. The latter organ
lied posse and went in search OF the
men, finding them in hiding near town.
The wounded man admitted that they
were the men who robbed the Singletary
store and who fought desperate duel
with the proprietor and shot him three
times. Thirty-seven dollars in small
change was found OF the men.
TALKS FREELY.
The wounded man says that his name
is Charles Bird that he was originally
from Houston, Tex, but is recently from
Macon, where he met the dead man,
whose name is Skinner, and who has an
aunt living in Macon. On the handle of
the dead mans pistol are the initials sc.
B. A.' he weighed 40 pounds and had
dark hair aud eyes.
The two men we're desperate charac>
tiers, and were always ready to shoot
down anybody who got in their way.
They had given great deal of trouble
and caused much uneasiness around La
Cross and o her towns in that section.
Despite the fact that Bird received five
buckshot wounds he will recover. and will
be moved to the Schley county Jail as
soon as soon he is able to stand the trip.
His companion was buried at Leesburg
Friday.
Mr. Singletary, the man the men shot
after robbing his store,is not dangerously
wounded and will recover.
