HUNDRED DOLLARS WHICH VA
APPROPRIATED BY THIS CITY
is TO BE RETURNED BY THf
AUGUSTA COUNCIL.

The 800 which was donated to the
Augusta flood sufferers by the Bruins
wick city council, is to be returned.
The stricken city, after getting set
tied, found that it had about 81 500
more than was needed and conse-
quently it was decided to return some
of the money to those who had donat-
ed. AS it would have been impossi-
Bile to return any of the personal do
nations without returning all of them,
1t was deemed best by the Augusta
council at a meeting Tuesday night
to return the money donated by the
various city councils. amounting in all
to S2,02S.50 A list of those which had
forwarded money was included in a
resolution passed by the council and
Brunswick was among them, the
amount being $100
The resolution has not yet been
passed, but it is more than likely that
it will come up for action at the next
meeting Of the Augusta council and
brunswick will receive the 800 do
mated

Three Bullets Taking Effect.
Two Negro Suspects
Have Been Arrested.

A dastardly attempt was made to
take the life of A. H. O'Neal, agent
"t the Atlantic Coast LiEA At ,Na-
hunta, at an early hour yesterday
morning. While the agent was shot
and seriously injured. he has chance
to recover and is now being cared for
in the Coast Line hospital al Way
cross.
ONeal, who is well known in this
city, was seated at his desk in the
little railroad office at Nahunta about
3 O'Clock in the morning, having just
reported a train from Savannah. Sud
denly a. heard the report of a 80 cal
ibre Aol fired from the window di-
rectly A front Of him. He did not see
who fired the shots, as the first bull
let took eff ct and the agent fell to
the floor unconscious Three of the
bullets took effect. One went through
his chin. infic,ing cnly flesh wound,
another entered his head just about
the right eye which is the most ser
ious, while the third merely glazed
his right shoulder
The agent was discovered in an un-
conscious condition stretched on the
floor in a pool of blood. He was un-
conscious at the time and was later
carried to Waycross on the passenger
train leaving this city at $50 O'Clock

are guilty of the crime

Of the assassins. After shooting the
agent down they entered the office
and robbed the cash drawer, which
S~ntained only 50 cents. On Mr.. Neals s
person was a gold watch and several
dollars, but they did not rob him.
The people of Nahunta knew moth

morning
The agent regained consciousness at
Waycross yesterday afternoon and
talked Of the shooting. He stated that
he did not see the assassins before
they fired and had no idea whatsoever
as to who they We're.
The injuries are thought to be quite
serious, but the agent will, no doubt,
recover. News received from Way
