mile trip in an "E-M-F" to get the dope
on the wreck.
Jim Milligan was conductor of No.

carr had charge of the supply train.

A NEGRO WOUNDS
PATROlMAN SLACK.
The Biaclss wounds Proved FstsI, Dy-
Ind at the Jail 1t u O'Clock.

Parson Wallace, negro preacher,
who shot aud wounded Patrolman
Slack Tuesday evening at nine o'clock,
died at the county Jail that night at
eleven o'clock.
Patrolman Slack had gone to the Par
sons house on Henry street to see him
about an account he had for collection.
When he spoke to the negro, Wallace
caught him, and in the scuffle that en-
sued took the officers pistol from him
and grabbed his stick. They tussled
for some minutes for the possession of
the weapons, but finally Slack regained
his revolver. The negro fell back and
drew his own revolver, it is reported,
shooting with almost the same motion.
The ball went through the officers left
wrist, paralyzing his arm. He began
to shoot lmmediately, and shot the ne
gro three or four times, once through
the eye and twice through the body.
In flash the negro sprang on the
officer and began choking him. He is
giant, six feet three inches tall and
weighing about 200 pounds. His clutch
was about to kill the officer when
charley coleman, one Of our well-thought
OF negro citizens, came to Mr.. Slack's
assistance and choked Wallace OF
from him. Slack was taken to Quinn's
drug store where he tainted from the
loss of bloed. The negro staggered
back onto his porch, where he fell from
his wounds.
The news spread rapidly and soon
the crowd began to gather. Several
hundred people gathered, discussed the
situation, and Deputy Sheriff Champ
Taylor carried the negro to the Jail
where he died at eleven o'clock from
his wounds, Drs. Barrier, Mathews and
Trotter attending his wounds. Thus
the Avenger got Wallace before mid
night.
Mr.. Slack's career as an officer has
been an excellent one, and his many
friends regret his misfortune, but
highly commend his bravery.

OUR PIANO PRIZE
NOW ON DISPLAY.
Visit Greenwood Furniture Co. and See
This Beautiful Plano.

The elegant Banner Piano that Tho
Commonwealth will give away in their
contest that will be started after Eas-
ter has been received, and is now on
display at the Greenwood Furniture
Company, on the corner of Howard and
Washington streets.
This is an elegant standard piano
that costs $35O.O0 and is worth every
cent of it. This comes to us direct
from the factory and no commissions
were paid on sale, which was a close
one in order to get this cut price.
A Commonwealth reporter had Mr..
VIM. Keisker, prominent piano man
who happened to be in Greenwood last
week, go in and test this piano, and he
told US that it was an excellent piano,
and was far above the average piano
in general use, and would be hand
some prize for the one receiving the
largest number of votes in the contest.
Mr.. Keisker does not sell this line Of
pianos and only tested same for us as
personal favor. He reports the tone
as being extra good, and the construc-
tion the very best and most durable.
We are anxious to have you drop
around at the Greenwood Furniture
Co. and take look at this piano. Our
contest will not start until after the
appearance of our Easter Edition, but
between now and then you can take a
peep at this beauty and whet up your
desire to own it free of cost. Our con-
test will be run upon such easy plans
that it will be interesting and will give
you plenty of time within which to
work. The contest will last four
months and there will be opportun-
tiles at every corner for you to get
votes and chances at this piano.
Coupon votes will be obtainable at
the leading business houses in the city,
who will issue same on every cash pur-
chase made at their store. In this way
you can not only get votes by sub
scribing for The Commonwealth, send
ing your advertising and job printing
to US. but you can secure votes on cash
purchases made at the various stores
where these votes are obtainable. From
now on hints in these columns and 9TH
ers will appear that will show you how
to amass great numbers of votes all the
time, and place good cinch on the
lead in this contest.
By all means take look at the piano
and when the contest opens try and
get the lead.

WILL PUBLISH A
CITY DIRECTORY.
Greenwood Directory Company Col
lcctln9 Data and Advertising.

Greenwood for some time has sorely
il with pleasure that we learn that a
real, live city directory will be pub
lished so soon as the data for same can
be collected.
The Greenwood Directory Company
has begun work in earnest upon their
directory, and during the next two
weeks will visit every business house
and residence in the city, seeking data.
We aro informed that this directory
will contain the name of every individ-
ual, white and black, receiving mail in
Greenwood, with their oocup alton,
street number and phone. Along with
these names, will be a publication of
state, county and city officials, church
directories, train schedules, lists of
manufactures and other industries, and
all dope needed in such publication.
The agents of the Greenwood Direc-
tory Co. will canvass the whole city for
advertisements in order to make the
directory pay for itself, and a cheap
rate for advertisements will be made,
and it is hoped that every business
house in the city will place some kind
of IN advertisement in the directory so
~ to make it one of which we all will
be proud.
Tho latter part of the directory will
be given to Itta Bena, and all data OF
the same nature will be gathered in
that city. This will make the direc-
tories cheaper and advertising rates
cheaper as they will require only one
publication. These two together will
also answer many inquiries and needs
Do your best for the directory and
push good thing along.

RAYNER TO
INSURGENTS

Washington. April 27.-"Are the in
surgents in earnest or have they just
been flirting and conquetting with
u.s."
Senator Rayner of Maryland, in
rock seriousness. asked this question
and others even more pointed in a
speech delivered in the senate today
on the railroad bill He said that
the Democrats wanted no more COM
binations with the Insurgents or pre-
liminary skirsnishes, but that the re-
calcitraI,t Republicans would he wei
coined into Democratic ranks if they
only would enlist and take their feel
ings with them.
Pointing out that ON almost all pre-
liminary moves on various measures
before the present congress, the In
surgents and Democrats have stood
together. Mr.. Rayner said that when
the final vote is taken upon the bill,
they seem leisurely TO stray away
from US"
Now" he said, the question is.
what do your friends mean? Are tney
in earnest or are they simply flirting
