Killed by Prominent Farmer.

Reidsville, Ca, Jan. 1S.-Asa
Roundtree, a we'll known citizen, was
shot and instantly killed this morn
ing by George Andrews, one OF the
most prominent and wealthy planters
of Tattnall county. The men, 1t is
stated, engaged in a controversy over
an alleged account Andrews held
against Roundtree. Hot words led to
a personal encounter, following
which Roundtree procured a shotgun
and began firing at Andrews, who
barricaded himself behind a mule.
The first shot fired by Roundtree
struck the mule. Andrews drew his
pistol and shot Roundtree, killing
him instantly. Andrews owns val
liable farming lands west OF the
Ohoopee river, where he resides. The
attack made upon the planter was
unprovoked, it is stated.
Andrews at once surrendered to
the sheriff here.
The animal behind which Andrews
shielded himself was killed. 1t was
the property of Roundtree.

County Expenses.

Mr.. H. D. Free has made out an
estimate of county expenses for the
ensuing year for the guidance OF our
legislative delegation in fixing the
tax levy. The statement shows that
the total expenses of the county for
last year were little more than
$4,000, and the estimate tor ex-
penses this year is s19,035.OO, and
of this amount $10,S95.00 must be
raised by taxation.
The taxable property of the county
is S2,901,740, and three mills Will
raise $S,705.22. There was a sur
plus of over $4,000 on hand last
July when the anual settlement was
made, but this surplus grows less
each year.

May Buy Seaboard.

Washington, Jan. 18.-It is being
breathed about here to-day that the
trip of Mr.. E. H. Hartman, Amerl-
cas- Napoleon of transportation, to
the South at this time has to do WITH
his efforts to get possession OF the
Seaboard Air Line.
Mr.. Hartman was in Washington
yesterday, spending several minutes
to hours here, closeted in his room at
the hotel. Then as mysteriously he
departed and report comes from Au-
gusta this afternoon that he is ex'
pected there. Mr.. Hartman IS a
mysterious man at. times.
The last time he was in Washlng'
ton he told me he came to show his
1O-year-old boy, Roland, the city, and
that Roland was especially interest
ed in the animal heads on the walls
of the presidents private apartment
at the White House. That was just
prior to Roland's fathers dramatic
Initiation into the Ananias club, ano
this time Roland did not take look
at the fascinating animal heads. Mr
Hartman now owns in his own name
a little over $154,O00,000 worth o1
stock in the big railroads of this
country, nearly 10 times as much al
any other man and this does not IN
clude holdings in numerous subsid
iary railroads. He does not come t(
Washington for nothing, and he does
not 20 South for his health. He con
trolls the Illinois Central railroad II
the Middle West.
The Illinois Central's chief compel
itor is the Louisville & Nashville
which is managed by the same groul
as the Atlantic Coast Line. 1t woult
be an advantage for the Illinois Cen
tral to have in the Southeast the Sea
board Air Line. which is the chic
competitor of the Atlantic Coas
Line. The Seaboard is now in tn
hands of receivers. but the recen
statement of it's earnings give tn
impression that it is not in such poo
condition as has been reported. 1t
stock has recently had a slight rise II
consequence.

There seems to be something of an
epidemic of mad dogs in this COM
munity, and it would be we'll for city
council to require all dogs to be shut
up for a few weeks any way. Several
dogs supposed to be mad have been
killed in town during the past few
days.
We understood some time ago that
the citizens of Blackville township
were circulating a petition asking for
an election on the question Of voting
themselves into Bamberg county, but
we have heard nothing Of the matter
recently. We suppose the project has
died out.
Mr.. J. w. Stokes went TO Tennes-
see last week, where he bought a

Prohibition Addresses.

Rev. J. L. Harley, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League of South
Carolina, spent last Sunday in the
city. In the morning he made an
address in the Methodist church; in
the afternoon at the Baptist church;
and at night at the Methodist church,
the Baptist congregation holding no
service at night on account Of Mr..
Harley's address.
Mr.. Harley is a strong and con-
vincing speaker, and he has the facts
as to the liquor business In detail.
He made fine addresses at each ser
vice, and his argument for prohibl-
ton was about the best we have ever
heard. There is no doubt but that he
won many converts for prohibition.

Saturday night Mr.. Wilson had the
dog in his lap playing with it when
it bit him on the finger. 1t had been
acting strangely for several days,
having something like fits, but no at
tention was paid to it nor to the bite
until Sunday, when it died. Then
it's strange actions for the past lew
days were recalled, and Mr.. wilson
began to get uneasy because OF the
dog having bitten him. He left Tor

On Monday of this week we wrote Mr..

hawk calls. 1t reached us by last nights

the thing to call hawks into shotgun

have as good success with it as have
had with another like it. / got up to

in 1907 and thirty-eight last year.
hope to do as well this year. The best
time to get them is during the mating
and nesting season. If, as you say, every
bird hunter in the State had one of these
calls and did half as well as I have done
in three years, we could all have plenty
of quail to go around"
Mr.. Mercer has applied for patent or
his hawk call and expects to have an
unlimited number on sale at an early
date. He can supply limited number
now. See his ad. on our second page.

A Little Shop Talk.

The price of printing paper and every
thing else that goes into the making of
newspaper has been steadily going up
for some time past. Realizing this,
many newspaper publishers throughout
the entire Union have increased the
subscription price of their papers. Some
from ST to $3.50, and others from $t.5O
toS2.
We could have easily taken advantage
of this increase in newspaper commod-
tiles to raise our subscription price. But
we do not believe much in changes.
cold friends, old books, old chairs and
old shoes are the BEST" and also, the
old price suits us well enough. While
others have increased the price Of their
papers, we have gone quietly along ever
striving to give our subscribers better
paper at the old price. Our efforts have
met with some degree of success. We
believe this fact is well known and ap-
preciated.
When the new postal ruling that SO
greatly effected the subscription list of all
country publishers went into effect (now
over year ago. we found it necessary,
to comply with the law, to drop 127 OF
our subscribers. Nearly all of these
perhaps more than 50 per cent-have
since again had their names added to
our list and we are to-day printing as
many papers as ,pe tpere then. And our
subscribers are paying in advance right
along.
| For all of this we feel thankful. And
We are pleased to say to our readers and
friends that our list still has steady
growth and that the Banner is still
growing in influence as an advertising
medium. In our next issue we will give
you the proof of this, and if you viii
bear with US and read what we have tC
say We will give you more shop talk
from week to week.
