HazIehurst Items Of Intergsl.


Hazlehurst, July 23 News Of d
bloody tragedy that was enacted yes
terday near Bowerton, acountry VII
lage eighteen miles west Of here,
reached here late last night It is
stated that Richard Woodland, Il
young negro, and his wife were found
on the roadside with their threats cut
and laying dead in pool Of blood
side BY side. It developed later that
Woodland had quarrel with his wife
and the latter left her home, ac-
companied by another negress, for the
purpose of reporting Woodland TO
the neighbouring justice Of the peace
for assaulting her. The women had
gone only short distance when they
were fired upon By Woodland, whose
first shot from bis rifle killed his wife.
He also shot and wounded her com
panion, Jane Green, who ran TO near
BY cabin for protection, pursued by
the desperate negro After Woodland
failed to get a second shot at the Wom-
an he returned to the spot where his
wife was shot aud with a diabolical
frenzy slashed the dead woman s
throat with razor and then turned
the weapon upon himself, cutting his
throat from ear to ear.

project to build a large lake here this
winter. The committee have placed
S. 900 of the stock, but they propose
to increase the amount SO as to build
! q driveway along the lake shore, make
a natural park and other improve
ments which will give this city an ideal
summer resort.
The freight receipts at this point for
| the past four months show an increase
of 135 per cent over the four cerre-
spending months in 1904, while the
passenger receipts have shown an in
crease, Notwithstanding that last
year was the Worlds Fair year. These
items go to show that Hazlehurst is
growing rapidly. Every enterprise Of
any consequence has been improved
banks have increased their capital
from 80 to 65 percent, cotton receipts
during the past year are by 1900 bales
greater than any previous year, munic-
ipal improvements are being pushed,
buildings are under construction in
every part of the city, and the spirit
of.enterprise and push upon the part
of the business men is shown on every
hand.
Rain is falling here daily and far
mers are complaining of too much
moisture for the growing crops. Up
land cotton is very fine, but on the
lowlands grass and weeds have grown
SO rapidly that good portion Of cot
ton acreage has never,been worked out
and some fields will have to be aban
doned. Late corn is very fine, while
iIthe melon crop is the finest in several
years.

TO be civilized and Christianized
where the carrying concealed of
this agency Of the devil and Of
death is regarded as decent and
respectable. In this day of Bibles,

a blot on our civilization that a
man who will go around armed
with a pistol should be regarded
as anything else than a savage and
an outlaw. II every gallon Of
blind tiger whisky were poured
out and every pistol broken to
pieces in the Tenth District, the
number Of homicides would be le-
duced to the minimum. 1t is the
settled and determined policy Of
this court to destroy these agen-
cies of the devil, and if.the grand
jury will indict them and the petit
juries will pass them up to NE,
there will be one less blind tiger
and one less pistol carrier for ev-

against vagrancy was enacted it

THINGS YOU HAVE SEEN.

Ever see a lot of men who had 1t in for a fellow and didn't know whyI Ever hear fellows curse and berate some man who had made a success of what he undertook while they were tinkering at the same job they monkeyed with fifteen years ago! Ever see some men who gloried in another's success and sacrificed, if needs be, some personal ambition to gratify a friend s aspirationSl Ever see some big hearted man take strug- gler by the hand and say, "I am glad to see you succeed /" Ever see any of those thingsl Of course you have. You see them every day. There are dozens of people who will greet you wiih a smile and stab you in the back because you attend to your own business and succeed. Whether they can do well or not there are always plenty of them whose jealous spir- it makes 1t hard for them to see another win. They fight you for no other reason than to tear you down. If you have a reputation that is gilt edged they will support a self confessed scoundrel and dead beat rather than recognize your commendable qualities. In short, no one has hit the mark any closer than Shakespeare when he said: You have enemies who know not why they are, but like the village cur, bark because their fellows do. "-EX.

The last time he got it four years ago he sent 1t to a mail order house. He has not seen the dollar since and never will.
