HOMICIDE IN PRIVATEER.
alr. ". L. osteen Kills Dave Gamble,
Negro Farm aaii.

q Negro tttEiH I1eeiiI.
Dave Gar.5lc was shot and killed
by Mr.. W. L. Osteen at o'clock
Thursday night on the latter's farm
in the southeastern portion Of Pri-
vateer township, II miles south of
here.
The difficulty between Mr.. Osteen
and the negro arose out Of misun-
derstanding Of lien papers that were
being drawn at the time. 1t ap-
pears that when the negro Gamble
expressed his dissatisfaction Mr..
Osteen said to him that the, matter
could be settled and that he was at
liberty to work for whom he desired
if he would reimburse him to the
amount already advanced. With
this the negro grew more belligerent
and began to curse Mr.. Osteen. Upon
being requested to leave the premises
a second time by Mr.. Osteen, who
told him he wanted no more trouble
with him, Gamble advanced toward
Mr.. Osteen, putting his right hand
into his pants pocket and made an
effort to catch hold of Mr.. Osteen
with his left, when Mr.. Osteen fired
1J,4 4f, of tn h.J11n or fo1y
ing effect, only one of them, however,
was fatal, it penetrating the neck,
severing the jugular vein, from which
Gamble soon expired.
Mr.. Osteen came to the city t-lat
night and surrendered himself to
Sheriff Epperson this morning. Cor
oner Flowers was also notified of the
homicide this morning and together
with DR.. II. A. Mood went to the
scene of the killing, and held an in
quest. The principal witness before
the coroner's jury was Mr.. I. T. Da-
Wis, who with a negro named Peter
James were the only eye-witnesses.
he was present from the beginning of
the difficulty between Mr.. Osteen and
Gamble, which arose out Of the sign
ing of a lien paper, that Mr.. Osteen
requested the negro Gamble to leave
his. premises, stating that he did not
want to have any trouble with him.
The negro refused to leave the house.
saying that he would have satisfac-
ton before he left. Gamble began
cursing when Mr.. Osteen replied that
he thought he could make him leave.
4 ten advised him to go home, and
Gamble replied to me: "I be damned
if I do; you have nothing to do with
it," and stepped upon the steps of
the porch with an oath, said lie would
settle the matter with Mr.. Osteen
himself. He then put his hand in
his right pants pocket and caught at
Mr.. Osteen. Then heard several
pistol shots, fired by Mr.. Osteen.
Gamble turned and walked away to
where he had left his bicycle leaning
against a small house, rolling it few
feet farther, fell and never spoke
again.
Peter James practically substan-
tiated Mr. Davis testimony and the
verdict Of the coroner's jury was that
Dave Gamble came to his death
from pistol shot wounds in the neck
fired by W. L. Osteen.
Commitment papers were issued
and Mr.. Osteen was left in the Gus
tody of the sheriff.
Messrs. Lee & Noise have been re-
tained. by Mr. Osteen, who will i'm
mediately institute proceedings look
ing to the defendants release upon
bond.

Cotton Mills Favor the Plan.

Mill men tell me-and have no
right to doubt their word-that they
wou,d welcome such plan as the
above. Instead Of having to go to
brokers' and spectators and place
their orders. as they do now, and be
dependent upon the rise and fall Of
the market, as controlled by these
Spectators, for their cotton, they
would rather come and buy their cot
ton direct from the man who owns it
and let our organization store it and
insure it and charge interest on it,
but have fixed carrying charge for
each month. They would not then
be at the mercy of the present system.
under which they never know one
day what their next days purchase is
going to cost them. I have been as
sured--and have no reason to doubt
it-that mills making certain quail
itv of goods today could pay much
higher prices than they are now pay
ing and also make money. But in
view Of the fact that they have no
guarantee what cotton will do from
day to day, in order to meet the con-
tingency of the market, they are fore
ed to buy their cotton as cheaply as
possible in order to have as large
margin as possible to meet the violent
fluctuations of the trade This plan
will enable the poor man to get the
same rate Of interest as the well-to-
