ATLANrA,s MYSTERIOUS KILLING.

Walter E. Brooks. an ex-polceman,
was mysteriously killed in Atlanta
Thursday night at the corner of Ma
rietta street and Ponder's avenue.
Whether he shot himself accidentally,
committed suicide or was murdered the
police have been unable to decide. Thad
B. Grossly, who is held pending an in
vestigation, was the only witness.
Crosby tells pretty straight story in
which he says, that he and Brooks were
drinking Brooks was playing a great
deal with his pistol, swapping it and
telling Crosby to snap at him. Brooks
then snapped at Grossly. The letter
begged him not to do this, but Brooks
snapped again. AS he did so Crosby
said he threw up his hand to ward off
the pistol, knocking the pistol up. The
weapon was discharged, the bullet en-
tering Brooks temple and going
through the head. Crosby remained
on the scene and got a physician for
the wounded man, who died in about
thirty minutes.

Mr.. Bowdre arrived in the city and

November the thermometer registered
26 degrees below zero, and yet winter
was behind time. He says that snow

LEFT HORSE TO sTARvE.

An Augusta dispatch says: A party
of young men from Aiken, out on a
hunting trip. made somewhat start
ling discovery. In thick and unfre-
quented piece of wood between Angus
ia and Aiken they came across a
buggy, with a dead horse between the
shafts. The buggy and harness were
good, and the horse was hitched with
a stout rein to tree. He had evil
IDENTIFY been dead some time. No one
in that section had lost a horse and
buggy, and it was not known who was
the owner until the news reached Au-
gusta. About month ago, a stranger
applied to the livery stable of Mr..
Stallings and hired a horse and buggy.
He never returned it and Mr.. Stallings
advertised the same as stolen, but
heard nothing of either until the find
was made by the hunters Why the
stranger should have abandoned the
horse, or why drive him to such a
lonely place and there hitch him to die
OF hunger, are questions which no one
can answer.

The Ninth FreSlet.

The Appomattox came out of its
banks Wednesday morning fas sur
prise. The rain which had Fallen here
was entirely insufficient TO cause
freshet, and hence the surprise. But
the heavy down pourwas II the up
per part Of the county, and soon after
wards Buffalo river apd other creeks
were impossible.
This freshet was tue ninth one during
the present year and the fifth for the
month of August. However, from
what Mr.. w. II. Richardson says, this
is not unprecedented. He remembers
that in August of 1862, there were five
freshets from the Appomattox and a
corresponding number from all adj
iacent creeks.
The season has about arrived when
harm from overflows can amount TO
not much more than delaying cutting
and housing tobacco, and this reminds
us to repeat that the tobacco crop
throughout this section is upon the
whole very good. 1t will cut at least
25 per cent more than was marketed
last year.

FarmNiIle Primary.

The Farmvile Magisterial District
Democrats will meet in the Courthouse
next Tuesday night at s O'Clock, tc
elect delegates to the County Conven-
ton, which is to be held on the 18th OF
September. The delegates are four in
number from this precinct, and will
undoubtedly go to the County Conven-
ton with instructions, both as to choice
of legislative nominees aud the County
Craftsmanship.
There are two candidates for legisla.
tive honOrs. Hon John J. Owen is
seeking his denomination, while Mr.
John r. Morton is aspiring with en-
ergy and zeal to the position. Both of
these gentlemen are residents OF the
same district, farmers by profession,
worthy Of the honors and will have
staunch friends and supporters in the
Convention on September 18th.
One Of the most important features
Of the Convention will be the election
Of County Chairman, and this proba-
bly, will be productive Of more interest
among the assembled delegates than
the nomination of House of Delegates
candidate. For this important position
there are no candidates, but we have
heard mentioned among Others the fol-
lowing names : DR.. Morton Holiday,
DR.. w. +. Anderson, Mr.. +. II. Bruce,
Mayor w. T. Blanton and Capt r. NJ.
Burton. 1t is most likely that one Of
these gentlemen will receive the nom
nation.
Every Democrat in this district
should attend the meeting next Tues
day night.

Editor Heraid:-In your issue Of
2Srd inst, as well as the preceding is
sue, find strong call for reorganiza-
ton Of the Democratic party Of this
county, and for the election Of coun-
~ chairman.
In both instances there is a deep felt
need. The old veterans have done well
their part, but with the new conditions
and grave ISSUES that are now being
thrust upon the people of this section,
with the ever watchful yet silent eye
Of the Republican party, observing
with the closest scrutiny our every act,
/ deem it best to place the Democratic
harness upon one Of her younger and
most faithful sOns-one who has never
swerved an inch from duty's path, and
has ever been ready to respond heartily
to her every call, and whose record l.
known and read Of all true Democrats
in the county. We find in DR.. Morton
Holiday, Of Hampden-Sidney, an
"all round mann-one who, if elected
as county chairman, would give more
strength and impetus to the party, !
believe, than any other man in the
county.
/ feel assured that in bringing for
ward the name Of DR.. Holiday for
county chairman, voice the senti-
ment Of a large majority Of our bts'
citizen and voters. A READER.
