s JURY FIXES CRIME ON
THREE NEGROES.
5 of the brutal murder of

julian Wilson at Cooper
,tofice last Friday night
dched here early Saturday
lorning, causing thrill of hor-
ror throughout the whole town.
Mr. Wilson was we'll known in
Kingstree and had many friends
to whom the details of the hor-
rible manner in which he came
to his death were narrowing IN
the extreme. Coroner Gamble
having been notified, that Of
fetal in company with DR. W V

of the deceased.

Wilson, who had been on deer
hunt, spent Friday night not far
from Cooper postoffice and as
<soon as they heard of the crime
fastened to the scene.
<What can be learned of the
Sgedy is as follows: Mr. Will
p as employed as manager
of the business of W P Cooper
& Co., consisting of a store,
grist mill and cotton ginnery,
and slept in a room in the rear
of the store building. On Sat
urday morning the back aoor of
the building was found broken
open and on investigation the
dead body of Mr. Wilson was
discovered lying behind and
partly under the counter in the
front part of the building. Three
! ghastly wounds were visible on
his head, one of which, inflicted
behind, crushed the bones OF the
skull. Outside the door in the
yard was found the instrument
of death-a piece of board used
for greasing wagons, on which
were to be seen splashes of blood
and hairs from the head of the
man. The dead man
was fully dressed and from the
fact that a bottle of medicine
had. been taken from the shelf

city-that of Peachtree creek, fought

July 22. and that of Ezra church, fought
July 2S. 1t is proposed not only TO
make parks out of the old fields, but
to build boulevards connecting all the
fields. The improvements on the bat

on the fields of Manassas. Shiloh. Get

Since the battles around Atlanta We're

would seem natural that these fields

near what is now East Atlanta, in De
Kalb county. With that battle the
campaign practically ended. The casu-
alties in the battle on both sides were
100000 men killed, captured and
wounded The battle determined the
faI of the city of Atlanta on Sept. =,
1864. which later enabled General Sher-
man and General Grant to unite their
forces after the fall of Fort Fisher.
These events led up 10 the surrender
of General Lee and settled the fate OF
the confederacy.
Military operations around Atlanta
make the fields worthy of being pre-
served as a matter of historic interest.
1t is the plan OF those behind the
movement to have the three fields con-
nected by great driveway. The
driveway will probably pass through
West End. Lakeview. Fort Mcpherson,
Grant park, East Atlanta, Inman park,
Ponce de Leon park, Piedmont park.
and thence 10 Peachtree park, finally
ending a Ezra church. The boulevard
would run along the lines Of military
operations without deviation. All along
the boulevard would be points OF mill
tary and historical interest.
Members OF the Grand Army of the
Republic in Georgia have lent their sup
port 10 the movement and are no less
enthusiastic about the proposed park
than the confederate veterans.
