Made.

Further particulars just received in
Americas concerning the murder of
Mr.. J. W. Edmonson at Coney, small
station on the Seaboard just over the
Sumter and Dooly line, indicates that
it was a cold blooded assassination.
The Times-Recorder has already given
brief particulars of the tragedy, which
was an atrocious one.
One Of Mr.. Edmonson's farm hands
left him, owing small amount of
money, and it was while trying to see
about this debt that he was killed
Mr.. .Edmonson, accompanied by a
small negro boy, drove to the house
where the man wanted was stopping
Leaving the boy to hold the horse Mr.
Edmonson approached the cabin door,
evidently Snot expecting trouble.
But just as he reached the door par
ties inside began firing.
The young man was shot with shot
guns in the body, head and legs, dying
instantly. The murderers then took
his body and damned it back under
the seat of his buggy, where it was
found next day by friends who went in
search of him, The negro boy who
witnessed the shooting, fled the scene
and terror.
Six negroes have been arrested and
are held in Jail at Cordele.

Hilarious Visitor Does d Lively Stunt
Here.
A pilgrim, hailing either from Daw-
or Shellman, he had forgotten which,
snoozed peacefully in cell at the bar
racks yesterday after one of the most
hilarious nights he had enjoyed in
many moons.
And old corn liquor was probably the
cause of it all.
But the midnight ride over Amer1-
Gus and the fun he had in connection
all that was probably worth the price
he paid.
The man arrived here at 10 O'Clock
the night before and, taking a hack al
the depot ordered the driver to stop al
a place on Cotton Avenue whereat he
could be refreshed and drive dull care
away.
And it was probably the mixing of
vile dispensary compound with the
pure juicus cornus sold IN Americas
that inspired the visitor with wild
desire to ride over the city,
At all events, while the negro driver
was inside the place, probably pricing
horse feed, the traveller seized the
reins and drove away.
The black jehu was no sprinter com.
pared with the feet-winged Pegasus
pulling the rickety one horse shay,
and quickly the procession was lost to
view. Four hours afterwards the man
showed up in Isomville.
Tue police went out to this suburb
and foundi the visitor, hatless and
drenched with rain. He was sent in
and cooped, but nowhere could the lost
hack be found, and not until late yes.

ADAMS WILL NOT ADMIT CRIME
Still Denies That He Knows Who Fired
Store,

Still Denies That He Knows Who Fired
Store,
"a has been believed by many here
that, when he knew there was no
chance to dodge the gallows Mon
Adams would confess to the burning of
Hamil's store here many years ago, for
which crime he was tried, found guilty,
but afterwards sidestepped the peni-
Tertiary.
But if Adams applied the torch, or
knows who did it, he will carry the
secret to his grave.
The Prison Board having refused to
recommend Communication of the death
sentence in Adams case, he will be
hanged next Friday, and already has
been made aware of the fact.
He was closely questioned yesterday
in regard to the store burning episode,
but steadfastly declared that he did
not know who applied the torch. There
was overwhelming evidence pointing
to Adams as the incendiary, and he was
convicted of the crime and given a
| life term
But he escaped the penitentiary on
some technicalIty, though the public
here has always felt confident that
Adams did the deed.
Adams friends haye exhausted their
resources in an effort to save his neck,
but the Governor will not interfere,
and this red handed double murderer
will walk the gallows trap Friday.
There was no reason whatever shown
for clemency in his behalf.
And Friday morning Adams will go
to meet the wife and daughter whom
he brutally murdered.
