GEORGIA WOMAN KILLS NEGRO,
Shot Him With a Rife While Irving To-
Enter Her Room,

Snot HIM With Rife While Trying To-
Enter Her Room.
Rockmart, Ga, May 21.-A bullet
from a rifle in the hands of a cool
and determined woman has sounded
the first note in what probably will
be the method adopted by the
women of the South fer their protec-
ton hereafter, and which has been
indorsed by some of the leading men
of the South. Ex Governor Northen
of Georgia, in published statement
on April 21 last, advised it.
The woman is Mrs. James Wood,
the wife of a well-to do planter in
the Esom's Hill district.
Night before last her husband was
called away from home on business.
He had previously bought for his
wife's use a light Winchester rifle
and revolver, and instructed her in
their use.
After her husbands departure
Mrs. Wood locked all the doors and
windows and went to her bed cham
ber on the second floor. She had
been asleep short time when some
slight noise aroused her. Her first
glance was at window and dimly
outlined in the uncertain light she
saw the stalwart shoulders OF q
negro.
Mrs, Wood quickly reached for
her rifle, which she keeps always at
the head of her bed, and took aim at
the man. The negro, after pausing
to convince himself that his intended
victim was alone and asleep, endeav-
ored to raise the window sash. Then
Mrs. Wood aimed and pulled the
trigger. She aroused the help on
the place. The body of the black
wretch was found dead beneath the
window.
Mrs Wood collapsed, woman
fashion, at once. Her condition is
considered serious, and she may die
| from the shock
Hundreds of persons viewed the
body, but no one has identified it..
He is not known here.

A Dingley Bill Failure.

Attention is called to the fact by
the Philadelphia Record that a wool
firm in that city has during the past
week sold about 100000 pounds of
territory wool for export.
In spite of the tariff the price of
American fine wool is so low that it
can be transported abroad to free
trade markets and profitably manu-
featured
This presents the anomaly exist
ing in the United States of protected
wool which has to be sent into free
trade markets for profitable sale.
Should the surplus of unconsumsd
wool continue to be sent out of The
country, the American consumer viii
in the long run be compelled TO buy
back at higher prices its equivalent
in the shape of raw material.
The wool tariff has not pronoted
the sheep-raising business and the
wooden tariff has not extended the
manufacturing business. And the
consumer has paid big saxesson both
imported and homemade goods.
The wool and WOODEN duties are
marvels of craftsmanship. Republic.

THE PARIS MAY BE SAVED.
No Waves Yet 10 Pound the Liner TO Pieces
on the Rocks.


on the Rocks.
Ccverack, Cornwall, Nav E2-
The American liner Paris is aground.
as reported yesterday, on the rocks
off Lowland's point, two miles east
of here. She struck at l o'clock
yestef day morning in a fog, while
on her way from Sou hampton tc
New York by way of Chez b urg,
France.
The weather is foe and clear, the
sea smooth, aud light eft shore
breeze is blowing. Her cargo is
being rapidly discharged from the
two forward matches. It is believed
there is large rent in the bottom Of
the forward part of the ship. There
is about sixteen feet of water in the
hold.
The point where the Paris struck
is on outlying ridge of the Manacle
rocks, twenty FIVE miles east from
Lands End, the southwest point of
Great Britain. A mile from the
steamer are the masts of the wreck
ed Mohegan, which was lost last
October with great loss of life.
The Paris called at Cher bourg
Saturday afternoon and picked up
fifty passengers She left CherbourR
at clock Saturday afternoon.
Soon after l o'clock yesterday morn
ing, at high tide, she ran ashore.
From the first there was no danger.
Lifeboats and tugs were soon swarm.
ing around the vessel to render
assistance. A majority OF the $50
passengers we're brought to Fal-
mouth, where they obtained lodg-
ings for the night.
The first intimation of the vessels
striking the rocks was slight graf
ing sound which was followed by a
second and more pronounced shock.
The lookout shouted that there was
something looming ahead, but be-
fore there was time to reverse the
engines, the ship had gone on the
rocks, 200 yards from the shore.
Assistance was summoned by rockets
and the coast guards telephoned to
the life saving station for boats.
The Paris, the Yale of the war,
was the second of the Inman com
pany's modern liners. She was built
ten years ago in Glasgow and held
the record from New York to
Queenstown in 1889 and 1892. Her
best time was five davs, fourteen
hours and twenty-four minutes,
which meant q speed of nearly Il
knots for the entire distance She
was $50 feet long, sixty three broad,
of 1O,499 tons displacement

Remarkable Freak of Nature.

Sedalia, Mo, May 81 The Sc

Harmon gave foal to twin colts, one
of which is a we'll developed and per-
feet mule, while the ether, horse
colt, is the perfect counterpart OF his

ance. The mule baby is 3 feet high
and the horse colt 3 inches taller,
