NEVER has there been such a general
increase in the wages of workers as has
been announced from every section of
the country during the past two or three
weeks, covering almost every known in
dustry, aud in number probably more
than 300, 900 hands. tbe average advance
being over 10 per cent. This involves a
large increase in purchasing power ofthe
people, withlgreatest encouragement for
all branches of business. How much
pleasanter are these sort of announce
lnents than those we heard three and
four years ago, when the tendency was
downward, and enforced idleness for the
wage eaaner was the almost universal
rule. Will the average voter note the
difference?

The Georgia Senate
Kills Prohibition.
HOUSE BILL DEFEATED BY ALMOST
TWO TO ONEV VOTE
End OF Ficrccly Waged FiGht--Fnir Field
for Test Of Strength Of the Opposing Ele-
ments-Irovisions OF the Willinghnm

Atlanta, Ga, Doc. 8.-By a vote of
rs to II tho Willingham bill was
killed in the senate today and State
prohibition defeated. The various
roll calls consumed an hour, Il great
many senators rising to explain thoir
votes.
The dobate in the senate COM
menced two days ago and was car
rjed on with great vigor Every
interest in the State influenced by the
whiskey traffic fought the passage of
the bill and all moral agencies were
: used in its favor. Had the measure
passed the senate it would have been
80 amended I'D to kill its puapose.
The entire fight has been one of
the fiercest tho State has over known
along this line but it is now beloved
the question is effectually settled for
some time.
The Willingham bill provided for
the closing of all saloons, the abolish
ing of all breweres and distilleries
and made it statutory crime for any
one to give drink of Intoxicating
liquor to another except rs a medi-
cine prescribed by physician.
The bill further provided that no
club or hotel should have liquors in
it's dining rooms or cafe, but this did
not apply to private entertainments
or banquets.

DESPERATE FIGHT BETWEEN CON

we'll and Howard Shoot ut Close Range
and Both VIII Die-A Stranger, who
Had Several Kegs OF Liquor that
Were Seized, Made his Escape.
Howard Objected to Ec-
Ing Handled.
Especial to The Stato.)

Greonville, December 5.-This
afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock a
desperate fight took place at the
bridge over tho Southern railway on
the road to Paris mountain, two miles
from the heart of the city, between
Constables Cornwell and Cooley Of
the State constabulary, and George
Howard, whose homo is just outside
the city limits, on the Buncombe
road near the Sampson and Poe cot
ton mill. 1t seems that Cornwell
and Cooley were on the scent Of
whiskey wagons and met George
Howard and another man coming
from towards the mountains, but
there is no accurate information as to
what took place except that shooting
began without any unnecessary de-
lay, resulting in George Howard re-
ceived q mortal wound, Cornwell be-
ing severely, if not fatally, wounded,
and Cooley receiving shot through
the thigh. Cornwell was brought to
the Windsor hotel, where physicians
were called Immediately and he was
put under the influence of chlorotorm.
Ho was suffering so much that he
could not give any account of the
trouble, but said he felt certain that
shot from his pistol killed Howard.
This is said to be a mistake, how
ever, and that Howard is still alive,
though there is no hope for his re-
covery. Cooley's wound ID not con-
sidered dangerous and he will prob,
ably survive the combat.
The man who was with Howard Is
unknown as yet, and 1t is said that
he made a quick escape.
Howard formerly lived in the Dark
Corner, but recently has made his
home near town. He is cripple,
about 45 years old and has family,
Later.-The shooting affray this
afternoon took place in piece Of
woods near the Paris mountain road

railway. George Howard was there

woods this morning. The constables
were out on raid, and circled around
the wagon. One of them discovered
liquor kegs and notified the other.
Cooley took charge of tho liquor and
carried it to his buggy, while Corn
well approached the men, who were
sitting Oh tho ground before a tiro
near the wagon. The men surren-
dered without resistance and How
ard says that Cornwell took hold of
him, at which he demonstrated, tell
ing him toat the liquor belonged to
the other man, but that Cornwell
again seized him. After saying this
much he declined to talk any moro.
Cornwell has said that Howard in
formed him that he was not armed,
but that Howard opened fire on him,
which he returned at close range,
inflicting five wounds, and when
Howard was found on the roadside
by his nephew his overcoat was afre
from the powder Of Cornwell's pistol.
Cooley was putting a leg in the
buggy on the opposite side from
whore the others were standing, and
says he was fired upon when his back
was towards them. He thinks it was
the man who ran away that shot him,
and says the fire wss repeated almost
instantly. He raised up and fired a
rifle at Howard and then emptled his
revolver at him.
Howard was wounded five times,
the most serious of which is in the
left breast, just below the nipple, the
bullet going in straight, and the
doctors are afraid to probe for it.
He was tsken to his home on the
Poe hill, and the physicians injected
nitro -glycerine to keep his heart 60
ing and prevent collapse, while
they were examining his wounds. It
is thought he cannot 1.-Two through
the night.
CornwelPs wounds are also con-
sidered fatal, the ball passing through
his intestines and the physicians do
not express any hope of his recovery.
He was married about two months
ago in Chester County and his wife
is seriously i'll at their home, which
caused him to be taken to the hotel.
Cornwell walked about so yards on
tho road to town before he fell, and
when Cooley found him on the side
of the road he was too weak to get
into the buggy. Cooley then has.
tened to town for assistance, which
was speedily given.
Howard walked 100 yards before
