OVER A TIMBER DEAL
Contest at Law Is on at MOultrie.

Moultrie, Ca, Nov. S-An interesting
lawsuit developed here this week be-
tween Sumner & Pounds Lumber
Company and Mr.. John Morrison
growing out of a different interpreta-
ton of a contract involving several
thousand dollars worth of sawmill
timber.
Mr.. Morrison is the owner of about
5000 acres of exceptionally fine tim
Der. He entered into an agreement
with the Sumner & Pounds Lumber
Company whereby the timber was to
be cut and he was TO receive a certain
per cent. of the proceeds. The Sum-
ner & Pounds Lumber Company IN
derstood the agreement to cover the
whole of his timber while Mr. Morri-
son claims to have understood 1t was
optional with him as to how much
timber should go in at this rate. He
has recently sold some of the timber

the timber, while the new purchasers,

rested for criminal trespass, but they
gave bond and are proceeding with
the cutting of the timber.

BURGLARS AIM TRUE
FIRED UPON PURSUERS AND
WOUNDED JOHN BENNETT.
HAD BEEN CAUGHT IN ACT.
PULLED PISTOL FIRST WHEN HELD
BY WILLIAM FRAN.

| Was Caught in Mr.. Frain's Home
Mt No. 3OS Jones Street, East, and
During Scume He Drew His
Gun-Mr. Frain Released His Hold
and Negro Ran Into the Street.
Mr.. Bennett and Others Attracted
by Cries of Stop Thief Gave Chase,
but Negro Scattered Crowd When
lie Fired and Escaped.
On the point of being captured by
several young men, an unknown ne
gro burglar turned in his tracks near
Jones and Price streets shortly after
dark last night and fired a bullet that
struck John Bennett of No. SIS Jones
street, east, in the left hip, inflicting
a serious, although not dangerous
wound.
A minute before the same negro was
in a tussle with William Frain of, No.
30S Jones street, east, and was on the
verge of shooting him. AS he drew the
revolver, however, Mr.. Frain released
his hold, and the burglar decided that
it would be wiser to make his escape
without shooting. 1t was Mr.. Frain's
cries of stop thief that caused Mr..
Bennett and several other young men
TO pursue the negro.
Had the bullet gone straight the
young man would have been killed,
and his attending physicians stated to
the police that his escape from death
was little short of miraculous. The
ball struck the hip bone, tearing a
piece of it away, and was DETECTED.
1t ranged slightly downward and
lodged in a bone in the back. In its
present location the doctor says it can
do no damage.
The negro was about to rob the
home of Mr.. Frain. when he was dis
covered. He had reached the top OF
the steps leading to Mr.. Frain's apart
ments on the second floor of the Jones
street address when stopped. Mr..
Frain grappled with the burglar and
would have been able to handle him,
but for the fact that the negro was
armed. AS soon as the negro began
drawing his revolver. Mr.. Frain re-
leased his hold and the burglar lost
no time in getting out of the house
and into the street.
The burglar ran east on Jones, street
and had just passed the corner of
Habersham when the attention of Mr..
Bennett, and several others, was at
| tracted by the cries of stop thief and
the rapidly moving negro. Without
thought of danger the young men per-
sued the burglar. Almost in the mid
die of the block between Habersham
| and Price streets the negro turned
I and fired. Mr.. Bennett dropped and
! the chase was temporarily stopped.
The negro turned into Price street and
was lost in the lane.
l. The shooting was reported at police
headquarters and Patrolman Meldrim
was hurried to the scene. No trace
of the negro could be found, how
ever and no one knew who he was
Detective Murphy also made an inves-
| tigation and secured a description of
the burglar from Mr.. Frain. The po-
lice, however. have no hope of arrest
ing the fugitive.

qualities a bullet from the new Spring
field rifle will traverse the bodies of
fifty-tiVe men formed in a straight
column, the nearest man being fifty

twice that distance, would dispose of

20 Rounds in Is Seconds.
The new arm has a magazine hold
ing five cartridges, but this can be cut
off and the rifle used as a single load
er. With accuracy twenty rounds have
been fired by experts in 15% seconds,
fifteen of these rounds being fired sin
gly and five from the magazine but
the average soldier is not expected
to fire more than ten shots a minute,
Besides being lighter than the pres
ent rifle the new gun is also much
shorter. Because of this quality it is
the expectation of persons familiar
with such matters that the new weap-
on will be adopted not only by all
branches of the army, but by the navy
as well, a uniform weapon for all
branches of both these services being
d lulHS. OF SuCn manifest advantage

has long occupied the attention of the
government officials.
Has n Rod BayOnet.
In many respects the new arm will
differ from the one now in use. One
difference will be in the use of the bay-
onet. Instead of a regular bayonet
the cleaning rod of the new gun will
be formed into a rod bayonet. The
end of the rod will be formed into a
sort of spear point or pike, and when
pulled from its place to a distance of
ten inches beyond the muzzle of the
rifle will be caught and held in place
by spring. thus forming a weapon
quite as effective as the old bayonet
In the place where the bayonet is us

NEW SPRINGFIELD
BEST OF ARMY RIFLES
Is Lighter, Shorter and More Deadly Than the
krae-JorgenSen.

The new Springfield rife, which has
army is. in the opinion of Col. George
T. Cam, inspector general of rifle prac-
tice, Georgia State Troops, the best
arm of its kind that has ever been
used. 1t is the best balanced rifle
that he has ever examined, a quality
that materially improves aim, is light
er than the present arm, the Krag-Jor-
censor, and, because the barrel is COW
cred with wood wherever it is neces-
sary to put the hand on it in firing,
it has a decided ADVANTAGE over the
g-Jorgenson, which not being so
covered gets too hot to be handled COM
fortably after several shots have been
fired in rapid succession.
The army is to be supplied with the
new arm as fast as it can be manu-
featured. The making of the gun will
be begun next month in two factories,
the government arsenals at Spring
field. Mass, and Rock Island, i'll. Six
ty thousand rifles will be needed for
ganization has been supplied the state
troops will be armed with the same
weapon. Col. Cam thinks it will be
about two years before the first lot of
the new arm is issued to state troops.
A Range of Five Miles.
Something of the power of the new
rifle can be gathered when it is known
that it has a range of five miles. OF
course firing at that distance would
be of no value as the farthest dis
tance at which even the sharpest- eyed
marksman can see to aim at an enemy
with anything like accuracy is 1000
yards, still the immense range is of
value in that it gives flatter ira
jectory which not only makes it pos
sible TO take a surer aim but also
increases the danger space. or the

Until within few years the department
of voters was in keeping with the surround

smoked cigars while they marked their ball

But there has been a wholesome change.
In nearly every city the policemen on duty
at the polling place now requests voters NOT
to smoke in the booth, and the custom is
growing of removing the hat on entering
the place. @
A better public sentiment is coming into
