Sequel To Tatnall Tragedy.
Eugene Edwards Avenges The
Murders Of His Brothers.

Macon, Ga, November 90
Additional reports of the tragedy
in Tatnall County, Georgia Sat,
urday, in which A. j. Edwards
was killed and Coy Edwards bea-
ten by the negro Davis, say that
the wife and mother of the two
men notified Eugene Edwards of
the occurrence when he returned
from hunting trip.
He started in pursuit of the
negro, catching him just ~ the
negro got even with man nam
ed Wray who was driving a wag
on. Edwards fred, the load
striking the negro, who returned
the fire. The negro lodged be-
hind the horses head andEdwards
behind the tail of the wagon.
With Wray ducking between
them, they fired as they caught
sight of each other. Edwards
was wounded in the face by q
splinter Knocked from the wagon
body by one of OsvIs's bullets,
but the boy kept firing and re-
loading, using bird shot. Not
until the third load struck the
negro did he reel and stagger to
the roadside, uhereupon the boy
ran to him and emptisd both bar
rels of his gun into his body.
Then he jumped upon the ne
groes body and stamped out any
life that remained.
A great crowd gathered and
wanted to burn the body of the
negro and lynch his family. A
counsel # cousins of the Edwards
family prevented this however
though the crowd was particular
ly incense d, because it was said
that Davis was from Bullock
County, where he had belonged
to an allegel "Before Day Club"
that was said to have brought
about the murder of the Hodges
family and the burning of their
home.

1t is added that the "gather;ng
season has been exceptionally fine
in all sections and the crop thus
far has been secured in good con-
dition and marketed rapidly, on
account of urgent demands from
spinners, who carried over very
small stocks into the new cotton
year."
In connection with this estimate
of the New York firm of IL, 800,
600, it Is interesting to note that
A. j. Wick of the firm of Hayward
Vick & Co., leading cotton deal
ers of New Orleans, while in the
city yesterday stated that he did
not believe the cropl would be
over IL, ,25O,Ooo bales, and that
in view of this indication the price
should not be less than 10 cents.
A special telegraphic canvass
made by The Journal of Com.
merce, of New York indicates a
crop of II, ,275, 900 bales. These
three estimates seem to be un-
usually close together. Charlotte

A registration officer is appointed

a poll list Of legal voters.
