WALKER SHOT ROYALS.
Trouble over Hogs Between Worth
County Farmers.

Triton. Ga. Aug. 27.-Mr. Wilson
Royals, young farmer of Worth coun-
ty, was shot by Mr.. John Walker, a
neighbor, yesterday afternoon.
Walker had been feeding his hogs
near Royals fence, and Royals sent him
word not to do so any more. as the
hogs were breaking into his corn. This
Walker evidently did not like, and next
day when he went to feed his hogs he
carried along his shotgun, setting it
behind a tree.
Royals was pulling fodder in the field,
and when he saw Walker went towards
him, telling him not to feed hSN hogs
there. Walker replied that his brother
George told him to shoot Royals if he
bothered him; picked up his gun, and
after warning Royals not to advance
further fired. The gun was loaded
with No. shot, and the distance, over
thirty yards, was so great that the shot
did not take effect, although several
struck him. Royals turned to go 10
the house to get his gun, when Walker
ran up behind him and shot him in the
pack, the entire load taking effect.
Mr.. Royals was severely, but not
dangerously, hurt, and after securing
medical attention swore out warrants
for Walker. with his brother as Access
sorry.

BIG DAMAGE SUITS
FILED IN VALD0STA.
COIOred Cooks Services Rewarded

COIOred Cooks Services Rewarded
with Gift of a House.
Valdosta, Ca. Aug. 27.-Two large
suits were filed in the City Court yes
terday evening involving the ownership
of lands in Clinch county. The suits
are brought against J. A. Dasher &
Co., prominent lumber men of Thelma,
and they charge willful trespass. The
suits amount to about $2S 900, and are
brought by the South Georgia Cattle
Company, for the use of H. T. Chan
dler, w. c. Dodson and Charles ].
Haden. This suit is for $25.OSS. The
other suit is brought by H. T. Chan
dler, w. c. Dodson and Charles j.
Haden, and amounts to $500.
The plaintiffs allege that Dasher &
Co. have trespassed upon their lands,
cutting all of the timber off Of seven
lots of land. 1t is not known yet what
answer the defendants will make, but II
is understood that they claim to have
bought the land. and that it is their
property. 1t seems to be a case in
which two different parties have titles
TO lands, Many suits of this kind have
been brought in Echols and Clinch
counties.
A little incident occurred here this
week that is of unusual interest. Judge
w. H. Griffin, Of the City Court, has a
cook named Emma Golden. who has
been cooking for him for ten years.
She has been a very good servant. her
chief value being that she was not a
gutter"
After she had been with Judge Grif-
fms family for four or five years he
told her one day that If she would stay
with him ten years he would give her
house and lot. besides pay her good
wages. Her ten years were out few
days ago, and Judge Griffin made her
deed to cozy little cottage, near his
home, on Troupe street. He has en-
ployed carpenters to add a couple of
rooms to 1t, making 1t a much better
home than he promised the woman.
Judge Griffin said this morning: Il
gave her the home because her con-
stancy has saved me it's worth in try
ing to find another cook, and l thought
1t might be some encouragement to
other cooks and servants generally, to
try and make themselves worthy Of
such consideration from those who en-
ploy them"

RULERS AND THEIR TITLES.
European Monarchs Have Different Ways
of Signing Documents


Although the late queen of the British
empire was accustomed to use her i'm
perial title in signing public documents
Victoria, r. 1."-her son and successor
prefers the more simple Edward R. This
preference was especially noticeable in
his coronation messages to his subjects
last year. To the people Of the United
Kingdom he signed himself Edward r ;;
but it was Edward r. IT, to the peoDie
of India and the colonies. Constitution
ally this was strictly correct, for the titles
act of 1876 stipulates that the imperial
dignity shall not be used in Britain hut
only In India. 1t is notable and charac-
teristic that the German emperor. who
is emperor only by reason Of his position
as king Of Prussia put his imperial rank
first and signs William L r. Sovereiene
always sign at the top of the paper, hence
the phrase, "Given under our hand and
Seal"
The reason is that no name may appear
ABOVE the royal one. When Louis Philippe
visited Queen Victoria at Windsor thew
went over Elton. Before leaving their sig-
natures in the visitors book were request
ed. The bourgeoise king wrote his name
first. Etiquette forbade her majesty to
sign her name below his and with the
readiest tact she turned over leaf to
write Victoria r. at the top of the ma
per- But the haughtiest signature is that
of the king of Spain. who disdains names
and signs himself "Yo ell Rey'' OF. the
klng.) The pope unlike other TEMPORAL
rulers, always adds his distinguishing
numeral, Leo XIII
