The Augusta Golf Club is a thing
of tn" past. owing partly to the fact
that a portion of the links have been
cut up into house lots and buildings
erected thereon, but a number of the
players still find an opportunity for
enjoyment of the sport by going to
Gardiner which a number Of them do
about every Saturday afternoon, and
meeting some of the players of that
city The links are located on the old
Gardiner and Richards estates In the
southern part of the city proper and
are said to be finely adapted to the
requirements of the game. The links
take in the pasture southwest of the
farm house at the Oaklands. the old
trotting park property and a part of
the Richards estate. and the course
followed by the players is about two
miles and over all kinds of land.
These links are said to be among the
best in kennebec county.

KILLED BY POLICEMAN.
John i. Werner Shot Three Times by
81 the Officer at Central.

Central, Nov. 30.--About o'clock
last night, John IT. Werner, son of
Engineer Werner, of the Southern
Railway, was shot and almost in
stantly killed by Chief of Police At
taway. Werner was shot three times
through his breast, and it is aclimed
that after he was shot Attaway hit
him over the head with the butt of
his pistol. The killing occurred in a
restaurant. Of the town, and created
considerable excitement.
Some time yesterday Werner was
arrested by Attaway on a trivial
charge. He was released, and later
in the day he met Attaway in a res
taurant,, A difficulty arose between
the two men, and it is claimed by
Werner's friends that he struck At
taway in defending himself, where
upon Attaway drew his pistol and
fired 1t three times, all three bullets
entering his chest.
Attaway later surrendered to She
riff Jennings, of Pickens, who came
to the scene upon being notified Of
the shooting. He Is now lodged in
the Pickens Jail. AT the coroners
inquest to-day the jury brought in a
verdict that the deceased came to his
death at the hands of POLICEMAN Alta
way.
j. J. McSwain, of the Greenville
bar, represented the State, he having
been retained by the Werners to aid
the Solicitor in the prosecution OF
the case.
The deceased was a young man,
being about 81 years of age. He was
married, but had no children. His
father Is well-known railroad man,
being one of the Oldest men in the
employ of the Southern. The killing
created great excitment here for the
time being, but things have quieted
down now ;.#I

GONE WITH COTTON CASH.
Reeves Advised Farmers to Hold
and Stored their Bales.

Griffin, Ca, Nov. 29.--J. E..
Reeves. head of chain OF supply
stores and cotton warehouses at Grif-
fin, Vaughn. Jackson, Glenyille and
Norcross. has disappeared, carrying
with him a sum of money supposed
to be over 100000. Most Of this
he procured by selling cotton stored
In HIS warehouses by farmers who
were holding 1t for fifteen cents.
For weeks Reeves has been urging
'armers to hold cotton, and his adj
vice was generally followed, so that
there are hundreds Of bales in his
warehouses. Reeves disappeared
four days ago, and his continued abb
sence caused investigation which re-
yealed that he had sold over I 900
bales of stored cotton.
In addition, he had collected thou
sands of dollars for fertilizers, which
he uever turned over to the fertilizer
companies. Sheriff Head, OF Griffin,
loses $4,000 by the fight of Reeves,
who is indebted to Atlanta banks and
firms for over $4,000. The heaviest
loss, however, falls on farmers. In
consequence, the holding" move
ment is not popular at present.
Reeves Is a young man and has
been regarded as great financier.
Receivers are in charge of his stores
and warehouses, but there is little
left. A reward has been offered for
his apprehension.

Beware Of Frequent Colds.

A succession of colds or a protract-
ed cold is almost certain to end in
chronic catarrh, from which few per-
sons ever wholly recover. Give eve
ry cold the attention 1t deserves and
you may avoid this disagreeable dis
ease. How can you cure a cold?
Why not try Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy? 1t is highly recommended.
Mrs. M. White, OF Butler, Tenn,
says. Several years ago was both
cred with my throat and lungs.
Some one told me of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I began using It
and 1t relieved me at once. Now my
throat and lungs are sound and
well. For sale by DR.. J., w. Bell,
