The shooting occurred just as the

that the negro who is charged with
the shooting had had some words with
another negro, Jim Mathews, and it is
alleged that when the former left the
train he drew his pistol and fred three
times at the latter, who was standing
on the platform. Mathews, however.

who was near window, was hit twice,
both bullets taking effect in her face,
one just above and the other below the

COTTON HAS BEEN INJURED
Forms Beginning to Fall as Re-

The continued rain is damaging the
cotton in this section, and unless there
is u change in weather conditions the
results may be serious.
The stalks are turning to yellowish
color and the leaves are also losing
their appearance of greenness and
freshness. The worst result of the
continued rains, however, is the fall
