A Shooting Scrape

A quarrel, the outcome OF which
might have ended with more dead
~ results was enacted in II. :.
Dcis' butcher shop last Saturday
afternoon. l. was a fight between
John and Will Cross. brothers,
against George Baker In which the
Latter drew a revolver and shot
the former twice once In the breast
and the other shot just glazing his
face. Below we give the facts as
were given 90 Ms by an eye witness
to the affair.
II seems the trouble started over
a debt that Baker claimed John
Cross owed him. The latter dem
led ii, and an argument followed,
which became very heated. Names
were called and when Cross re-
fused TO take them back, Baker
drew his gun and shot. The bullet
struck is victim in the breast.
John rushed Go the street, picked
I up a stone and threw Il at Baker,
with the remark that he meant 70
kill him. The stone hit Baker In
the top OF the head and as he fell
he fired again, the bullet barely
missing Johns face.
4 VIII Cross interfered mt this in
terval and started working on
Baker with several supper cuts
to the face. But this lasted only
a few seconds IS the reports OF
the shots brought the City Mar.

Monthly Meeting of U. D. c.

:. The Edgefeld chapter, q. D. c.,
had an enjoyable meeting last Tues
day afternoon with Mrs. Abner
Broadwater. 1t was the largest at
tendance of the meetings that have
been held this fall. About thirty
five members were present. as an
evidence of their interest in the
work of the chapter and of their ap-
probation of the hospitality of the
hostess.
A memorial of the late Capt. w.
Fl. Brunson, published in the Con
federate Veteran, was read by Mrs.
N. G. Evans. A reception will be
given at an early date by the U. ID.
G. at the home of Mrs. Susan B.
Hill, who on this occasion, was the
presiding Officer, the president being
absent The refreshments were de-
Ilicious salad course and fruit punch,
served by Elizabeth Smith and En-
mie DeLoach.
Mrs. Herbert Smith and Mrs. De-
Loach assisted Mrs. Broadwater in
receiving the guests. tAfter short
business session the meeting was
adjourned, having accepted an invi-
tation to meet next time with Mrs.

were accompanied by their daugh-

were guests of Mrs. Mamie n. Till

olson by her Edgefeld friends, who
always greet her most affectionate-
ly when she comes among US. Be
sides having other large business in
terests in Augusta, Mr.. Lamar is
one of the leading real estate deal
ers of that city. They came to
Edgefeld in their new Cole auto

the handsqpest cars that has been

automobile races in Savannah the

Advertising Has Paid Him.

Mr.. Jesse F. QUITS, Jr., the en-
terprising manager of the w. M.
&J.T.Ouzts Co. was told some time
ago that his large advertisements in
our columns would not'be profitable,
but his experience has been to the
contrary. In letter of a few days
Mr.. QUITS stated that his October
business this year, with cotton at
nine cents, was Sl,O72 more than 1t
was last October, with cotton selling
then at IA cents. This unusual
increase he attributes to the advertls-
ing done liz our columns. He has
also bought more country produce
than a yearag Mr.. QUITS sold Mr..
Y. NJ. Faulkner SIG worth of
chickens and eggs last week, all
being one weeks purchases. We di-

tisement in this issue.

Purchases Made.

The electric light commission
purchased an engine and generator
Monday but did not have sufficient
information at hand to warrant
placing orders for the poles and
wire. These will be purchased in a
week or ten days. Work of install
ing the plant will begin as soon as
the material arrives, but as the bad
weather of winter will retard the
progress, the lights will hardly be
turned on before next March. ssThe
members of the commission are pro-
ceeding cautiously so as to get the
best possible returns from the money
realized from the recent bond issue.
