ORDERED TRAIN TO STOP.
Passenger and Conductor Shoot Each
other on Georgia Railroad.

Augusta, Ca, May 21.-Capt. c..
D. Bailey, conductor on passenger
No. p of the Georgia Railroad. which
leaves Augusta at 800, Eastern
time, running between Augusta and
Atlanta, was shot yesterday on his
train about half mile this side OF
Mesina and, in turn. shot his assail-
ant, \. J. Thompson, a well-known
white farmer of Warren county.
Capt. Bailey was painfully, though
not seriously, wounded, the bullet
entering his leg between his hip and
knee, and it is believed that A. j..
Thompson, his assailant, was fatally
wounded.
The shooting arose over the re-
fusal Of Capt. Bailey to stop the train
at Mesina, flag station four miles
this side of Camack, and an argu-
ment resulted. When asked to stop,
Capt. Bailey stated he could not
make a stop without orders and
Thompson drew a revolver, saying.
You will stop this train at the muz-
zle of my revolver
Capt. Bailey knocked Thompson's s
hand down, throwing the muZzle of
the gun from his breast as Thomp-
son fired, the bullet entering Capt.
Bailey's leg between his hip and
knee. Thompson then turned to run
and Capt. Bailey, who had drawn
his pistol in the scufie, fired and shot
Thompson between his shoulders,
the bullet penetrating his right lung.
Thompson was turned over to the
county authorities at Camack and
Capt. Bailey was taken to the hotel.

=, A Knife in His Skull.

With a knife imbedded an inch
and a half in his head, its point an
infinitesimal fraction of an lncn
from his brain, August Hamilton, a
negro lad about Is years of age, was
carried laughing and chatting to the
CITY hospital, where the united efforts
of two doctors and an improvised le-
yer were necessary to extract it. The
boy is now resting easily at the pub
lie ward at the hospital and unless
an internal hemorrlage was formed
by the knife-thrust, he will be all
right in a day or so.
According to the boys statement
he was attacked at about $3.50
O'Clock last night on the corner or
King and Wentworth streets by an
other negro boy named John Gary.
It is said that there had been a few
words when the bystanders. were hor-
rifed to see Gray raise a knife and
plunge it, with vicious swing.
deep into the head of Hamilton. The
lad staggered, but did not fall; look
ing solemnly after the fleeing flg-
ure of his assailant. He fell to the
ground, and then slowly regained his
feet with the knife standing in his
skull in a vertical position.
He didn't utter cry, and not a
drop of blood was visible. A doctor,
who happened to be there, rushed
the boy into Freyschmidt's drug
store, at which place the boy IS en-
ployed as a porter, and tried to pull
the knife out, but was startled to see
that his best efforts met with no sue
cess, as the sharp instrument could
not be moved.
In the meanwhile a call had been
sent in for the automobile police am
bulance, and that reached the scene
in a few minutes. Accompanied by
the young doctor, the negro jumped,
unassisted, into the auto and they
sped to the hospital. rThere a Sec
ond physician helped the first to pull
out the knife, but they found that
they were unable to move it until
they used a lever, when they braced
against the boys forehead. Not un-
til the knife had been taken out did
any blood flow, and not until then did
the lad feel any pain.
The wound was cauteriZed and the
boy was carried to the ward, where
he dropped to sleep within a few
minutes. The doctors fear an internal
hemorrhage, but if this injury has
not been sustained the negro will re-
cover shortly.
Detective Levy of the local police
force has been assigned to the case
and is hot on the trail of the assassin
and it is expected that he will short
ly be apprehended. This incident re-
calls to mind the somewhat similar

WOMEN IN WALL STREET.

They Are Coed Winners, but Drown

that one needs only to get a "hp"

for new gowns. hats and jewelry.
The dictum of Wall street Is that
women are good winners, but bad

money and business with an angry or

THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.


An Incident That Marked HE Spirit
and Independence.
In his "Gnmpses Of the Confederate
Army" In the American Review Of Re
views Randolph 81. McKim writes:
1T seems to me as look back that
one Of the things which stood out
strongly in the Confederate army was
the independence and the initiative Of
the individual soldier. 1t would have
been better army In the field If It had
been welded together by a str1cter dis
cipline, but this defect was largely
atoned for by the strong individuality
Of the units in the column 1t was not
easy to demoraize body composed of
men who thought and acted In a spirit
Of Independence In battle.
'As an illustration Of the spirit of
the private soldier I recall an incident
to this effect. Major General Gordon
had organized strong column to make
night attack on Grants lines at Pc
tersburg. When he was ready to move
and the order to advance was given q
Big Texan stepped out of the ranks
and said:
General Gordon, this column can't
move before l a. m. The men have a
truce with the Yanks. and it amt up
till o'clock

hour. The private in the ranks had
taken command. and the major general
recognized his authority"

WE had hoped to see some interest
manifested In the idea of governing the
county by Commission plan, instead of
by the unwieldy and unbusinesslike
method as at present. Perhaps this may
be submitted for a vote this year. 1t Is
rather singular that those who talk great
deal about how things should be done. do
not take hold vigorously and get out the
necessary petition. We are in favor of the
principle, but think the present statute
should be amended In some particulars.
1t is certainly an Improvement on the
government by Board of Chosen Free
holders, and we believe would be more
economical. Why not have 1t tried
Other counties find it to be satisfactory
Burlington Enterprise.
The above Is all right as far as 1t goes.
On the point Of somebody getting out the
necessary petition, it will do no harm to
say that last year the writer Of this item
circulated petitions and received within a
few names Of the required number. In
response to suggestion that agitation of
the subject might interfere with the
election then ensuing, the matter was al
lowed to be dropped. Among the places
where petitions were sent for signatures
was the city of Burlington, some going to
the newspaper Office which is now under
different control than at that time. If any
signatures were gained there the returns
have not shown 1t. The number of names
secured In Burlington was very small.
We agree with Brother Haines that If
somebody would take hold vigorously it
might be beneficial. Here is an oppor-
tunity. Under the law 1t is necessary to
get the signatures of Eve per cent. of the
total voters Of the county. This means
about $50 names. 1t ought not to be hard
to get at least 200 In Burlington. Chester
and Northampton sent in over 500 names
last year.
