HAT SHAPES IN VOGUE.

Among the many hat shapes in vogue,
says the Millinery Trade Review, none
have the brim turned up at the back.
If the brim is wide behind, it is turned
down over the nape of the neck, but
maryland perhaps the majority-are
cut off very short at the back, where
they will often be trimmed with a fall
of lace, a pendant feather or dropping
sprays of flowers. 1t is generally con-
sidered that a more youthful appear
ance is attained when such additions
are omitted-a large knot of hair fill
ing in the vacant space perfectly. How
ever. this is merely a matter of per-
sonal appreciation; milliners are rather
prone to favor hats trimmed at the
back-perhaps because they show off
better in the hand. Hats turned UP at
the side frequently have this portion
of the brim wider; others that Jut for
ward or that turn down or up over the
brow have the brim much wider in
front.

FOUGHT OVER A GIRL.
After killing RigdOn, Lewis Sat Up
with the Corpse.

With the Corpse.
Valdosta, Ca, May 15.-Parties who
came up from Echols county to-day re-
port several sensations there, the first
of which was a homicide at the resi-
dence of Riley Johns, citizen of the
southern part of that county. The
killing was done by Will Lewis,
young white man, and the murdered
man was ]. Rigdon.
1t seems that both of the men were
suitors for the hand of Miss Rosa
Johns. Rigdon had received her con-
sent, but not her fathers. Lewis had
received the fathers, but not the
daughters. The two young men met
at the Johns residence, and Riley Johns
asked Lewis to help him break up the
match between Rigdon and Miss Rosa
Johns. They had a quarrel in the
forenoon and later in the day they
fought. During the row Lewis pulled
his pistol and shot Rigdon three times,
killing him instantly.
1t is said that Lewis sat up that
night with the corpse of the dead man
and demanded a commitment trial of
the justice of the peace the next morn
ing. The trial was held and he was
eXonerated.
County Solicitor Wilcon of Echols
was arrested yesterday on a warrant
sworn out by an old negro. man, charg-
ing him with malicious mischief. 1t
seems that the young solicitor of the
county court was riding through the
country and saw a lot of goats in a
woods. He pointed his pistol at a big
billy" which was standing on a
stump some distance away, and fired.
He probably had no idea of killing
the goat, but he did it just the same.
The negro man who owned the goats
swore out a warrant against him and
the solicitor was placed under bond
until the next term of the county court.

Baseball.
Statesboro, Ga, May 15.-Rev. Mr..
Sheldon of Chester. S. c., is here con-
Quoting a protracted meeting for Rev.
]. S. McLemore of the Baptist Church,
and is having abundant success. By
his eloquence, earnestness and spirit
uality he is captivating the people of
Statesboro, and notwithstanding the
continuous rainy yeather, large con-
gregations are going out to hear him
and great good is being done.
The Cotton Seed Oil Mill Company
has secured charter and purchased
a valuable lot for erecting the plant.
This is located between the Savannah
and Statesboro, and the Central of
Georgia railways, just below their
crossing in the lower part of town. The
company is capitalized at 100000. The
mill will be built and equipped at
once, and made ready for the fall sup
ply of seed.
The Statesboro Ice Factory, partly
owned by Mr.. Morgan of Lindsay &
Morgan of Savannah, turned out its
first supply of ice Tuesday. Though
the weatehr has been cool a good bust
ness has been done this week. The
people are giving 1t all possible en-
couragement.
A petition is being circulated asking
the Mayor and Council to pass an ordi-
nance prohibiting the sale and delivery
of Use here on the Sabbath day. The
ice men have all signed it and from the
readiness with which nearly every one
else is attaching his name there is
hardly any doubt but that it will be-
come a law. Another petition, which
appears to be meeting with equally as
favorable sentiment is one requiring
all the drug stores to not sell cigars,
tobacco and cold drinks on Sunday.
Other merchants who deal in the same
things say that it is a great injustice
to them to allow the druggists to sell
these things on Sunday
Mr.. Gupton of Rocky Ford has
moved his buggy mandatory to
Statesboro.
The Dublin baseball team came down
yesterday morning to play game with
the Statesboro team. The game was
set for 4 o'clock, but the weather was
so threatening it was called at 1:30.
Only two innings were played when the
rain stopped the game with 8 to 0 in
favor of Statesboro. The boys were so
keen for q fair test of skill until they
remained over to-day The game was
called promptly at 13O, again with a
large crowd in attendance. A stiff game
was played until the fifth inning.
Statesboro slowly, but steadily, fought
in the lead and when the game closed
the score stood. Statesboro, 10; Dub
lin. 4. The people were highly pleased
with the game.

ACROSS THE PACIFIC FOR So.

Associated Press. Morning Service,
SAN FRANCISCO, December 3.-As
a result of the freight rate war be-
tween trans-Pacifc ports the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company today Of
fered to take Chinese passengers to the
Orient from San Francisco at rate of
two dollars per head. This rate was
made in opposition to a rate of fifteen
dollars made by the China Commercial
Steamship Company.
Ever since the China Commercial
Company entered the trade the Pacific
Mail and allied steamship lines have
tried to force it cut of business. They
succeeded in getting Mexico to put an
embargo on the Chinese that the COM
pany were landing at Mexican ports
and reduced the rate for carrying flour
from San Francisco to the Orient to
one dollar per ton. Recently the China
Commercial made a new arrangement
with Mexico, and its steamers are
again allowed to land Chinese coolies
there. The rate established by the Pa
cifc Mail is the lowest ever offered by
any steamship company for passenger
traffic The steamer "ClaVering, -
which was ashore on the Honolulu reef
Is one of the steamers of the China
Company.
