4 Heavy Rain.

After about ten days OF fair wealth
er. this section was visited by a se-
we're rain storm Tuesday morning.
An unusually hard rain began TO fall
shortly after daybreak, and continued
almost increasingly for several hours.
The week which ended last Saturday
was bright with sunshine, and prob
ably never before in the history Of
the county was there as much work
accomplished in six days as the farm
ers got through with last week. The
prospects up to a few days ago SEEM
ed very poor, but the work of last
week helped the crops along wonder
fully, and If the farmers can only Sc
cure enough sunshine they mall pull
through all right.
The unreasonable weather has nat
urally caused a big advance in the
price of cotton, and from present in
dications the staple will be bringing
between twelve and thirteen cents in
November and December, when the
crop which is now being made will
be ready for market SO, even though
the yield may be small, the farmers
will doubtless receive a sufficient sum
for what cotton they raise to at least
make both ends meet.

NEGRO FARM HAND
MYSTERIOUSLY SHOT
GURLIE TAYLOR. A NEGRO LIV-
ING NEAR COLUMBUS, WAS
MYSTERIOCSLY SHOT
LAST SATURDAY.
Mary White Was With Taylor at the
Time, But Claims Not to Have
Seen the Man Who Fired
Shot that Killed Him.

tGurlie" Taylor, negro man llv-
ing in the Dab Acker neighborhood,
about six miles southeast of Colum-
bus, was mysteriously murdered on
Saturday afternoon last. At the time
of the shooting Taylor, in company
with a negress named Mary White,
was in the woods cutting kindling,
and according to the story told by
this woman Taylor was shot from
am mbush by some unknown party. Al
though standing within ten feet of
the negro at the time he was shot,
that she knows nothing whatever be-
yond the bare fact that she heard
shot and saw the negro fall.
An air of mystery seems to sur
round the whole affair. Mary White
was engaged to the dead man, and
the two we're TO have been married
at an early date. The first theory
evolved was that Taylor had been
shot by one Of the woman's cast-off
suitors, but pursuing this line of rea-

own pistol was discharged. Taylor
had a revolver in his pocket when he
went TO the woods, and after he was
dead the weapon was found lying by
his side with one chamber exploded.
The woman stated to a Dispatch re-
porter that she knew Taylor had a
revolver, but did not know that he
had q with him when he went to the
woods. She said, as stated above,
that she was within ten feet Of him
when he was killed, but declared I'm
q most positive manner that she saw
no one and heard only one shot. She
declares that she and her lover had
had no quarrel, and there seems 10
be no reason why she should have
wanted 10 take the negro's life.
Mary White will have a prelimi-
nary trial before Justice Of the Peace
j. j. Ellis IN the Third district next
Friday, and II is likely that testimony
10 be introduced at this hearing Will
10 some extent clear up the mystery
which now surrounds the tragedy.

Supreme Court Decisions.

Three cases which went up from
Lowndes county were decided by the
supreme court last Monday. In the
case OF Leech vs. Hirshman the de-
cision of the lower court, which was
in favor of Mr.. Hirshman, was re-
versed. Steven Leech, a negro, had
given Mr.. Hirshman a mortgage on
farm which he owned, and after the
mortgage had been foreclosed the
taxes on the place. The supreme
court declares that Mr.. Hirshman
must be treated as a mortgage and
an account taken of the Indebtedness
due him by Leech. Upon payment of
this Indebtedness the ownership of
the property will revert to the negro.
Another very similar case which
was taken up from this county, and
which was reversed and remanded,
was that of T. S. Oliver VS.. H. c.
cover house and lot on South Third
street which had been sold under an
attachment, and the court held the
attachment under which the property
was sold to be void, becuse there was
no proof of publication before the
chancellor when the decree was en-
tered The same attorneys figured in
both of these cases-Col. VIM. Bald
win having appeared for Mr.. Hirsh-
man and Mr.. Baird and Col. T. J.
O'Neill having represented Mr.. Oil
yer and the Leech negro. Colonel
O'Neill won both cases, and naturally
feels much elated at the victory
In the case of Edward Skipweth
vs. the Gulf Compress Company, the
verdict Of the lower court, which
awarded the plaintiff damages in the
sum Of $500 on account of personal
injuries was affirmed. Skipwith was
represented by Gen. T.. r. Skies, while
Messrs. Orr and Harris appeared for
the Gulf Compress Company.

Ing been conducted by the pastor,
Rev. j. j. Hill, who was assisted by
Rev. w. z. Dakn, rector of st. Paul's

memory. The floral offerings were
both numerous and beautiful, the
casket having been literally covered
with flowers, while the altar was
banked with wreaths and other mag
nihcent designs.
The interment was at Friendship
cemetery, and seven Of Mr.. Albrights
boyhood friends-Messrs. r. II. Ma
hon, r. Il. Mahon, w. l.. Gardner, j.
$. Roberts, r. T.. Craddock, w. w.
Richards and ID. ID. Richards-of
ciated as pail bearers.
At the cemetery Judge j. A.. Orr
delivered a brief address in which
he eloquently extoled the numerous
virtues of the deceased, paying glow
ing tribute 10 the many noble quail
tiles which he possessed. Judge Orr
and Mr.. ]. l.. S. Albright, the father
of the young man who met such
sad fate, have been friends for many
years, having been closely associated
together as officers of the First Pres
byterian church. Judge Orr had
known the deceased from boyhood,
and realized that he possessed all the
qualities which go to make up the
ideal American citizen. He was chiv
alrous, brave and true, a devoted son
and brother, a loving husband and
father, and man ever loyal both to
his friends and to the call OF duty.
The members of Mr.. Albright's fam
lily are sorely grief-stricken as a re-
suit of his sudden and untimely
death, and the sympathy of countless
friends go to them in their sad afflic-
ton.

Geo. Sherman Snake-Bitten.

While playing in the grove sur
rounding the suburban home of his
parents last Monday, Master George
Sherman, the bright little son of Mr..
and Mrs. G. w. Sherman, had the
misfortune to be bitten by a snake.
He was in the act of climbing a tree
when the reptile bit one of his toes,
and his playmates had the presence
of mind to bind a handkerchief
around his ankle, so the poison could
not penetrate his body. DR.. McKin-
ley was summoned to dress the
wound, and while the little fellow
suffered intensely for several hours,
he soon grew better and is now con-
sidered entirely out of danger.

MEREDITH MAKES
COLUMBIANS MERRY
By EXCELLENT WORK BOTH IN
THE BOX AND WITH THE
STICK HE ENABLED
LOCALS TO WIN.
The Whole Team Played Good Ball,
McDivitt Having Made Two
Phenomenal Catches--Mo-
bile's Last To-Day.

The Colum bians, after a week on
the road, returned to the city Sunday
and opened a three days siege with
Mobile on the Lake Park diamond on
Monday afternoon. If one can Judge
by their playing, the boys were GER
tainly not feeling we'll, for the con-
test, SO far as the Columbians were
concerned, was ragged and listless.
Not a single time during the progress
of the game was the score close
enough to awaken the faintest sem
blance of interest. Mobile commenc-
ed her run getting in the first inning,
when one score was made, and the
visitors continued to cross the plate
at sporadic intervals until five scores
had been made. The one lone run
the eighth by Meredith, who hit for
three bags and scored on Manush s
single
Casey, who started in to do the
twirling for the locals, was not in
good form, and was taken out in the
sixth, giving place to Wheeler, who
finished out the game. Wheeler, TAX
ing everything into consideration, did
exceedingly well. He went in with
the bases full and none down, and
retired the side with only one run.
There are generally reasons for
everything, though 1t Is said with
some degree of truth that matters in
baseball and theatricals sometimes
shape themselves without rhyme or
reason, and there was ample cause
for the ragged playing Of the Colum-
bians Monday afternoon. The abb
sence of Huber and Collins has neces-
STATED several changes In the lineup,
and Jones, who was signed TO play
second base, has been playing short
stop, Andrews, the right fielder and
exchange catcher, having replaced
Jones at second, while Meredith, Of
the pitching staff, has been playing
right field. All these men ala the
best they could. but II is hard for a
man to accomplish good work any
where except In his regular position,
and readjustment OF the lineup Will
probably be necessary before salts
factory results can be obtained
The Columbians batted Molly free
ly but the hits counted for naught.
No matter I'm what direction a ball
sailed, IL seemed that there was an
Oysterman waiting in exactly the
right spot to grab il, and several long
drives that looked like safeties were
greedily gobbled up by the men in
the outer garden.
