Another Negro Killed.

Allen Chamberlin. a negro who has
been driving for the past two years for
w. M. Hunter & Co., was killed last
Saturday night by Leb Walker, a son
of 81 Walker. The weapon nsed was
a wagon standard. the blow being OF
such force that Chamberlin's skull was
crushed as if it had been an egg shell.
The fight seems to have been in the
nature eff a duel with bludgeons the
slain negro being the aggressor. The
cause was trivial. Chamberlin had Dor
rowed a quarter from Walker several
weeks ago and he was ''dunned" for it
several times and the last time he told
Walker if he eyer caught him with a
quarter to take it away from him. SO
Saturday night when Mr.. Hunter paid
Chamberlin off, Walker grabbed aquar.
ter out of Chamberlin's hand and walked
off. He tried to get Mr.. Hunter ia
make Walker return his quarter, but
was told it was told it was none of his
(Hunter's) troubles. Nhamberlin then
walked away. ~,remarking as he went
that he would get the quarter or kill
Walker. On the way he picked up 9
scantling and the duel that followed re-
suited as above stated. The trial was
held before Justice of the Peace Sen
nett and Walker was exhonerated.

Dairy Meeting at Court House.
Editor Beacon

Editor Beacon
On last Saturday evening quite a
number of farmers Of the county inter
ested in dairying met at the Court
House to discuss ways and means and
the advisability of establishing a dairy
in the town of Macon In spite of my
protest las l have but few cows) l was
called to the chair and Mr.. Gus Mcleod
requested to act as secretary. After
being duly called to order Mr.. Gurler
was called upon to state the object of
the nesting and to explain tie advan-
tages of a cooperative dairy which he
did to the satisfaction Of all as he is a
practical drairyman. He said that the
COW produces the cheapest feed for the
human race than any other animal,
Milk and butter came first. pork second,
Mutton third and beef fourth, and
that oil counties that had made dairy
ing their chief industry had grown rich
and their lands had increased wonder
fully in price and productivencss and
that a creamery would pay well If we
could get the patronage of at least five
hundred cows. The butter would be of
a better quality made by an expert and
command a better price.
We had Prof. BECKER of the A. & M,
College with US and he told about the
cooperative creamery recently estab-
lished at the college and said all of the
farmers were we'll pleased with it and
some farmers had turned over their
contracts for their butter at 80 cents
to the dairy and we're patronizing it.
VIZ took a census of the cows owned
by those present and there were over
five hundred represented and only one
man, Sam Adams, from the other side
Of the I'VE and a good many of Our
largest diaries were not represented.
We are confident that that one
thousand cows are in the radius Of ter
miles of Macon and if plenty of milk is
all that is required to make the dairy 0
succuess we can have a good one.
MIR. Gurler was appointed a committee
of one to get up plans and specification.
and to correspond with parties with {
view of getting a creamery established
at an early date.
It was shown that an ice cream fac
tory could be run very proftably il
conjunction with the dairy.
The meeting adjourned subject t,
the call of Mr.. Gu-ler whenever he hat
gotten the desired information and W,
hope all of III farmers in~terestee il
dairying will be on hand.

POETRY
THE BATHING Dox.

 [ saw him standing idly on the bg4m Of the, quick river in his bsA1ay So fair he was that Nature looked at
 him,
 And touched him. with her Boa-

 So that his cool flesh sparkleo- aud
 his hair Blazed like crown above the naked
 lad. And so I wept; I have seen lovely
 things,
 Maidens and stars and roses all
 a-nod In moonlit seas, but Love without his
 wings
 Set in the azure of an August sky, Was all too fair for my mortality, And so I wept to see the little god. Till with sudden grace of silver skin And golden lock he dived. his song
 of joy Broke with bubbles as he bore them in;
 And 10. the fear of night was or that place, Till decked with new-found gemf and flushed of face, He rose again, a laughing choking
