Hauling Gravel.

Work was commenced Wednesday
hauling gravel from pit of cement
gravel located ON the Interurban,
about six miles from town. The ma
terial is being put on the main ave-
nue. leading to the experimental sta
ton, and if successful so far as ex-
pense is concerned, the probability
10 that mud on main street will be a
thing of the past. At the present,
the farmers load and unload the
gravel, the Interurban hauls it, and
the city spreads 1t on the streets.

1t is reported that c. w. Cooper
is quietly laying his wires to receive
the nomination for Mayor of Cald-
we'll. There is no one who questions
the ability of c. w. Cooper to fill
the Office. He is a fluent speaker
and can knock on a dissertation on
the fifty cent dollar that would make
the eagle on the coin fairly scream.

An Aiken Snake Story.

Aiken, Aug. 29.-A few days ago a
snake of unusual proportions was
killed near the Levels church. The
reptile was of the species known as
the water rattler and was probably
the largest seen in this section. A
colored man discovered the snake and
prevented it from going into pond
while he called help and the snake
was shot. When measured, it was
found to be six feet long and weighed
40 pounds and was said to have been
nearly six inches in diameter. This
is a genuine, bonafide snake story
and is vouched for by number of
prominent gentlemen who saw the
reptile themselves

The couple quarreled in the hotel

Gazzatt pulled revolver and began
firing at his wife. She fell with a
bullet in her leg and the child rushed
between her parents to shield her
mother and was shot in the side.
When the child fell, Gazzatt fired two
other bullets into his wife's prostrate
form and then sent the remaining bull

NEGRO DEsPERADo
KILLS THREE MEN.

Discharged United States Soldier, Who
is Dead Shot, Leaves Trail of Blood
As He FIees to the Swamps. Pur.
sued Toward Florida Line by Angry
Posse.-Will be Lynched.
Thomasville, Ca, Aug. 29.-Leav-
ing behind him three dead officers,
whom he shot to escape being cap
tured, Charles Williams, negro out
law, is fleeing toward the Florida
swamps with posse pursuing. Those
who have fallen victims to the ne
gro's deadly aim are Sheriff D. w.
Tyler, of Grady county; Marshal Eu-
gene Cardel, of Cairo, and Deputy
Sheriff James Hunnicutt, of Thomas
county.
The negro began his career of muir
der in Grady county Monday night
while resisting arrest at the hands OF
Sheriff Tyler. He shot the officer
dead. A posse headed by Marshal
Cardell pursued Williams and Tues
day night surrounded him in cabin.
The negro who had barricaded him
self in the cabin was ordered to sur
render, being told if he did not do so,
he would be shot. The negro made
no response, but opened fire. The
posse prepared to close in on him,
headed by Marshall Cardell. Within
a few seconds second shot was fired
from the cabin window. This shot
ended the life of the marshal. When,
they saw their leader fall, the men,
bers of the posse ran to his assistance.
This gave Williams an opportunity
and, firing as he ran, he made his es-
cape. Another posse, headed by
Deputy Sheriff Hunnicutt, of Thomas,
took up the pursuit and came in sight
of Williams yesterday afternoon.
The negro Immediately opened fire
and killed Deputy Hunnicutt. This
demoralized the posse and the negro
again escaped. Sheriff Hight, of
Thomas, has organized another posse
and bloodhounds are again chasing
