SAN JUAN HILL ECLIPSED.
Hot Fight of Deputies and Gamblers
in Berrfen.

in Berrfen.
Triton, Ga. July 31..One night this
week Deputies Avera, NeSmith, Davis
and knight raided a gang of negro
gamblers in a shanty in Austin & Hes
ter's turpentine quarters. near Lenox.
The deputies quietly surrounded the
house, and Deputy Avera stepped in at
the door and ordered the gamblers,
eighteen in number, to throw up their
hands.
The negroes replied with a volley of
revolver shots, and for a few minutes
the battle of San Juan was "a mere
skirmish compared to it. 1t is esti-
mated that fully seventy-fve shots
were fired. One ball struck Deputy
NeSmith squarely in the forehead but
did not penetrate the skull, ranging
around and coming out on the side of
his head. Another ball struck his
pistol, then weapon doubtless saving
his life. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. NeSmith narrowly escaped with
his life from an encounter with a ne
gro desperate at Midtown two weeks
since.
The negroes did some of the record
breaking running of the year. A
driver for the deputies became fright
ened and left on foot, reaching Nash
vile, nine miles distant. thirty min
utes later than the officers in the
buggies.
None of the deputies except NeSmith
were hurt. 1t is not known how many
negroes were hit. but four were lying
on the floor of the shanty when the
officers left

South Georgia politicians have started

Der of attorneys and others in South
Georgia. 1t is said that the counties
wanted for the new circuit are Lown-
des, Clinch, Berrien, Echols, Coffee

ture-Other Matters.
Dublin, Ga, July S1-Hon. John r.
Baggett will make the race for the
legislature from Laurens county on the
Populist ticket.
Some time since a full ticket was
put out by the Populist party. Hon.
j. L. Keen and John c. Register were
the nominees for the legislature Mr..
Keen declined the nomination, and Mr..
Baggett has been nominated in his
stead.
Mr.. Beggett for two terms repre-
scented Laurens county in the legis-
lature. He is an honest, conscientious
Populist, and is a hard political fight
er. He considered for some time vot-
ing in the Democratic primary recent
ly held, but decided at the last mo-
ment not to do so. OF course he will
not be elected, but he will probably
poll more votes than almost any man
the Populist party could have nomi-
mated.
Tomorrow two new free rural de-
liveries will be put in operation in
Iaurens county. Laurens will then
have six free rural mail deliveries.
Five of these routes go out from Dub
lin and one from Dexter. Two pc
titions for routes are now on file with
the Postoifice Department and will
probably be inspected and passed in "A
short time. Laurens will then be prac-
tically covered by the rural deliveries.

POINT D'EsPRIT PARTY GOWNS.

No summer material responds more
gracefully to dextrous treatment than
does point d'esprit, and so cheap are
some of the cotton qualities of this
airy texture that such fairy gowns
are within the means of all.
The cheapest of these nets are per-
haps more effective in white than in
color, and other ornamentations fail
ing, a judicious tuckinE of the mate
rial will provide the most dashing
trimming.
a white point desprit gown is made
entirely in wide tucks, with spaces
of the same width between. A white
and black embroidery worked on the
point d'esprit supplies good decora-
ton; one wide band shaping the hip
yoke of the skirt, and another the
heading of the graduated fiounce.
The yoke of the tucked bodice, which
fastens at the back. is made of the
same, band of all-black lace being
inserted in the flounces of the sleeves
and edging the scarf knotted at the
left. Wide and narrow black velvet
ribbon provide the other furnishings,
tiny steel buckles glinting at points
of the stock, and slipping over loops
of the velvet bust knot.
AS to lining, such dresses require
silk, of course. The outer jupe falls
loosely over a drop skirt. which is
generally finished at the bottom with
a deep killed founce. There are no
sleeves to the bodice Innings, it being
the fashionable caper for the arm to
show through thin texture.
A parasol of black and white chiffon
and fiat shepherdess hat of crimped
white 2auze with trimmings of tiny
white roses are effective accessories
for this charming gown.

opposite the cash box. Only about $40

Shaw at Lenox, was burglarized, and
a gold watch, valued at SIS, and three
or four valuable rings taken. The

the same place was entered and the
safe blown open. Mr.. Matthews had
luckily taken his money home with
him, and nothing else was missed
Sometime during the same night,
the commissary of P. D. Phillips. at
Osgood, of which Mr. w. P. Gossett

provisions stolen. Nothing else was
missed.

CAKEWALKERS AT THE BALL.
Little People Enliyened the Dance
at the south End.


The double attraction of a children's
cakewaIk and the Thursday night ball
made the South End pavilion last even
ing a center of attraction to pleasure
loving townsfolk as well as to the cot
RACERS on the island. Quite early in
tie evening people began to gather,
eager for a sight of the little dancers,
and when the ball train arrived the
pavilion was. crowded.
Almost Immediately the children ap-
reared, and as they marched up the
steps. keeping time to the music, the
enthusiastic onlookers left their places
and moved towards the center of the
hall where they formed a large cir
Gle within which the young performers
did their clever parts. Quaint figures
they were, some with faces blackened
minstrel fashion, and others with their
own fair skins showing undisguised
and making the mimicry only more
amusing. They were lead by Master
Leonard Cleveland, who was a capital
beau, clad in long white trousers, a
crimson blouse adorned with a volumi-
nous white tie and most imposing
beaver.
His partner was Master Davenport
Bryan, disguised as a lovely dusky
maiden in a Powered petticoat and
scarlet waist and very fetching bon
net.
The other couples were: Miss Mary
Bohan and Master 10 Bohan; Miss Lo-
retta Bohan and Miss Emily Garrard;
Miss Cecilia Garrard and Master Eddy
Way; and two comical little darkies,
Master John Howkins and Master Will
liam Bohan.
As cakewalkers they were all so good
that each one was rewarded with a
box of candy, those for the girls being
in the shape of dolls face looking out
of flower.
After the cakewalk was over the
grown-up dancers took possession of
the pavilion for the rest of the even
ing.
Among the parties present was one
chaperoned by Mrs. j. 7. Shuptrine,
with whom were Miss jamie Shuptrine,
Miss Mamie Strobhar, Miss Henrietta
Turner and Mr.. Louis Sharp.
With Mrs. A. F. Marmelstein were
Miss Georgia Miller, Miss Jessie Mil
Ter, Miss Margery Van Diviere, Miss
