The annual contest for the man who
will represent Emory at the next inter-
state oratorical contest was held here

FATAL DUEL AT QUITMAN.

Mashburn-SequeI to killing of
AIOnzO Bass by Taylor IL Few
Months since.
Quitman. Ga, May 26.-Carl Taylor
was killed here at u O'Clock by Depu-
ty Sheriff Mashburn near the new
home of Mr.. J. w Oglesby. Taylor
was the man who was tried at the
last term of Brooks Superior Court for
killing Alonzo Bass, and was found
guilty of voluntary manslaughter and
sentenced to two years in the peniten-
tiary. Mashbrun was a witness against
Taylor and il is said Taylor threatened
his life for testifying against him.
Taylor met Mashburn to-day and
after a few words between them the
shooting commenced. Taylor was hit
four or five times and died almost in
stantly. Mashburn was not wounded,
but escaped as by a miracle almost.
He states that Taylor cursed him and
drew his pistol whereupon he, Mash
burn, drew his pistol and emptied it.
Taylor fired four shots at Mashburn
and snapped the fifth cartridge. The
killing seems to have been justified and
much sympathy is expressed for Mash
burn in the necessity to kill Taylor.

a card attacking Mr.. Small for chang

challenging Mr.. Query to meet him in

Weaver incident:
1.-The reporter of the Constitution.
in his report from Thomson, of May
"a, has the Hon. ]. r. Hogan of Lin

] feel sure, unintentionally, as Mr..
Hogan, so differently from others who
are now attacking me. does not assert
as a fact the principal thing of which
/ complain, but simply quotes it as
having been published in the Macon
News of Sept. %. 1892.
1.-THE matter to which I refer is Mr.
Hogans reference to the occasion
when Gen. Weaver was egged or at
tempted to be egged in Macon while
speaking from the veranda of the La
nier House.

have said in the Macon News"

GUBERNAT0RIAL COMMENT.

Clarke County Courier: It is with a
great deal of pleasure that we an
nounce to the people of Clarke county
that Col John H. Estill will be in
Athens on next Wednesday day and
night and desires to shake hands with
all the people. AT the opera house
Wednesday night he will make+a short
address, after which there will be re-
ception The people from the country
are earnestly requested to be present
and shake hands with one private ex-
Confederate soldier who dares to seek
honor at the hands of our people.
Americas Herald: Politicians work
newspap ers when they want Office. but
when a newspaper man wants some
thing in that time they are against
him. Col. EstH helped Gambler when
he needed help in South Georgia. and
did a lot of work to put Turner in
Congress. Both are against him.
Miller County Liberal: For more
than thirty-fve years Col. ]. II. Estill
has been using his best efforts in aid
ing and helping to support the Dem
the men who compose this great party,
to nominate him for our Governor the
9Th of June?
Jackson Argus: From all over Geor-
gia the report comes that the sub
stantial and honest farmers are almost
solid for Private Estill for Governor.
Dahlonega Signal: Col Estill spoke
no an, "Wednesday II

Dawson county people, who will re-
member his solid platform and good
name at the ballot box.
Greensboro Herald-Journal: Like
Col. Estill himself, his supporters are
not making much fuss, but after all
it's the votes that count, and that's
just what Col. Estill is going to get
on the 5th of June.
Sylvania Telephone: The old vet
eran Col. j. H. Estill is gaining ground
with each passing day, and the indica-
lions are that his chances of winning
the race are the best of either of the
candidates. The towns make big fuss
for Terrell. but the country people
want the old war horse.
