MURDER IN WEBSTER.
Two Negroes End a Fisticuff
With Pistol Practice.

Sam Walker killed Sam Ager in the
Slaughter Creek district of Webster
county Sunday afternoon,
1t seems that the negroes were
going home from preaching and both
wanted to go with the same girl. This
caused a difficulty between them, in
which they irst fought without any
weapons.
George Slaughter took Sam Ager
down the road, about one hundred
yards; Sam Walker going down the
road and seeing the other negro drew
his pistol and asked if he intended to
shoot. Ager replied. that he ''would
shoot if he come on him." At this
Walker pulled his pistol and shot
Ager, one shot lodging in the heart,
another in his shoulder and still
another in the back. Ager ran about
forty yards, and fell dead.
Walker was shot in the mouth and
in the arm. He was taken to the
Preston Jail by Baillff Christian.

Get Children
Started Right

Measles, scarlet fever, mumps
and whooping cough are univer-
sally prevalent.
With all these, the disease itself
is often trivial, but the after effects
are very serious.
Close observers say that one
half the people suffer from eye
trouble (result of measles), or
bronchial, ear, or kidney trouble
(result of other diseases of child
hood).
Now a child in robust health
will throw off these diseases. A
weak ailing child will probably
suffer all its life.
We have just the medicine for
puny, ailing children. 1t is Vinol.
1t is pleasant to take, it is free
from dangerous drugs, it is nour-
ishing and gently tonic, it helps the
food to digest and gives strength.
1t has been used in this town
with great success when children
we're slow in getting over whoop-
ing cough and measles.
1t seems to give them a start,
and they become bright and
healthy. Used with Vinlax, the
bowel regulator, it is safe and sure,
both for ailing children and bur-
dened mothers. Take home a
bottle on our guarantee of money
back if it's not good. Don't let
your little ones remain weak and
ailing.

p.r Williams to remain unchallenged.
1naoe Barrow was quite moved, and
IA that rather than rest under the

impled by Mr.. Williams he would lay
down his life
when Judge Barrow read the report

friends. with whom he advised. This
rave it somewhat the aspect of an af-

,,o;dod that a letter should be written

Owens becoming personally its bear

In this letter, it is understood, he ex-
messed his unqualified disapproval of
the remarks made from the pulpit rel
alive TO the "mesmeric influence"
which it was asserted the gamblers
had over the court. While the text of
the letter was not made public, it is
understood that it was pointed and
tOrceful.
Judge Barrow wrote that he had
read the report and, assuming that it
was correct, sold that he would not
suppose that Mr.. Williams would him
self make statements which the judge
assured him were false aud unjust.
Judge Barrow firmly but courteOuslY
then asked Mr.. Williams to give the
name of the person who had Informed
him of the matters about which he had
preached
Mr. Williams replied through the
mail writing Judge Barrow that be
made no charge that the court had
been in completely with gamblers in
any way. He said that he had not UNI
dertaken to create this impression, but
had undertaken to criticise the system

The following is the statement in
the sermon to which Judge Barrow
took exception: after five years [
return to Savannah. Here find
gambling going on in all it's wOnted
power and unparalleled audacity. l
am constrained to paraphrase the
words of Tennyson in his illusions to
the little brook which went on and on
forever. Gambling has solemn mes
meric influence over the courts. The
courts seem to be infatuated with the
gamblers and the gamblers with the
courts. When the authorities go out
to make a raid there is an understand
ing The gamblers get their money
ready and when the authorities come
around they pay up. When they pay
$1,000 as fine they are being licensed
tocontinue their business. Then one
