1ions of attempted legal robbery in
the annals of public thievery is the

is asking the courts to compel the
city to surrender to it the exclusive

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATIONS
NEGRO SHOOTS INTO THE BED.
ROOM OF SECTION MASTER,
And Later Sends a Load of Shot Into
Negro House. No One Was
Injured at Either Place.

Shortly after midnight on Tuesday
morning last WIN Walker, notorious
negro, made two attempts at assassina-
ton.
The first attempt was at the home of
Mr. John Mcleod, the section master of
the Central railroad, who lives about
three miles north of Dawson.
About o'clock in the morning a load
Of shot went crashing through a win
dow Of the bedroom occupied by Mr.,
Mcleod and his family. Fortunately,
the gun was aimed too high, and no
one was injured. Most of the load took
effect in tue top of the window, and
beyond SCATTERING the glass no damage
was done, The force of the shot WI S
almost spent when they hit the window,
and it is thought that the would-be
assassin was standing on the railroad
track aboat IS feet distant when he fired
the gun.
About half mule farther down the
road the front door of a house which
Walkers wife and another negro occu-
piedwas fired into. The occupants slipped
out the rear door and escaped unhurt.
There is little if any doubt that Walk
! er is the negro who made the two at
tempts at assassination. He vas for
merly railr ad hand under Mr.
Mcleod, and quit the job because of a
difficulty between them. Since then
Walker has been frequently heard to
threaten the life of the section master
His reason for wishing to kill his wife is
supposed to be that she had left him.
Walker is a negro of unsavory repu-
t2tion. He is under sentence to the
changing in Dougherty county, aud
made his escape a few days ago while
being transferred from jail to tie con

Bigger Food Crops and Less Guano and
Cotton Their Programme.
THE News has talked with a num-
Der of the farmers of the county. and
with few exceptions they say their cot
ton crop this year will be less in acre
age thar last year, and that their crops
OF oats, corn, wheat and other food and
forage crops have been correspondingly
increased.
But few have bought as much fer,ili-
zers as they used last year, few have
bought none, and practically all are
using more home made manure than
ever before.
Without any abatement of energy and
thoroughnesS in farm work, economy is
being intelligently practced at every
point. 1t is safe to ass sumo. therefore
that the Terrell farmers generally will
be in better financial condition next
rail- than at any previous time IN recent
years.
There will be an abundance of corn.
oats and other general food crops, and a
large increase in hay, peas, pork and
other necessary articles.
