A Sure Shot.

A sporting gentleman who had the
reputation of being a very bad shot
invited some of his friends to dine
with him.
Before dinner he showed them a
target painted on barn door, with a
bullet right in the bulls eye.
This he claimed to have shot at l.
600 yards distance.
AS nobody believed him, he offered
to bet the price of an oyster supper
on it. On one of his guests accept
ing the wager, he produced two wit
nesses whose veracity could not be
doubted to prove his assertion.
Since they both stated that he had
done what he claimed, he won his bet
During the dinner the loser of the
wager inquired how the host had
managed to fire such an excellent
shot.
The host answered:
well. l shot the bullet at the
door at a distance of 1000 yards,
and then I painted the target around
it.''-Boston Journal.

White Man Knocked Down by Negro.

On Tuesday morning, on Mr.. P. E..
SCOTS place in No. 6 township, Mr..
L. J. Hunt, the overseer, had diff
Guilty with one of his farm hands, a
negro by the name of Atkinson. 1t
seems that Mr.. Hunt had called the
negro to get out his hands and do
certain hoeing. The negro gave Mr.
Hunt some impertinence and told him
he was his own boss and would go to
work when he got ready. OF course
this enraged the white man who told
the negro what he would do for him
il he didn't do as he said. Whereup-
on the negro seized hoe and struck
Mr.. Hunt, who threw up his right
arm and warded off the blow from his
head or body, receiving the lick on
his arm. Mr.. Hunt went into the
house for his gun, returning with 1t
to the yard, prepared for the negro,
when the negro with desperate cour-
age again attacked the white man,
knocking him down with the hoe, and
probably would have killed him but
for the timely interference of another
negro. Mr.. Hunt was cut on the
shoulder and had a thumb nearly sew
cred from the hand. Dr.. ". D. Sem
dressed his wounds and he is doing
all right.
The negro came to town that morn
ing, after he had the difficulty, but
made his departure and is still at lib
erty. Magistrate J. G. Sample and
Deputy VIM. Dorroh had gone to the
scene upon learning of the fuss, but
didn't see the negro.
There was some natural excitement
created by the row, but all is quiet

Winder Widow a Tragic Fate.

Atlanta, June 6.-To be left wild
ow anywhere is one of the saddest
experiences in human life, but to be
left a widow in Winder is a terribly
tragic fate. The complications which
may beset widow there are unequal
ed probably in any other town on
earth.
A few days ago, one of Winder's S
prominent citizens died, leaving his
widow and children property in sew
eral sections of the city. The town
of Winder is located in three differ
ent counties, and the widow is con-
fronted with the necessity of going
through the legal complications of
three different courts of ordinaries
to secure three seperate sets of let
trs of administration on the estate
Each of these courts is > or 20 miles
from Winder. and all three are in
different directions. She has to make
successive trips into Gwinnett, Jack
son and Walton counties.
The citizens of Winder, complain
ing of this situation, are asking the
state legislature to give them coun-
ty of their own. The movement
has already received general endorse
ment throughout the state.

COLUMBIAN SHOOTS HIMSELF.
Frank H. Holland, Jr., Attempts to
Commit Suicide.

Columbia, June 5.-Frank L. Hol-
land, Jr, prominent young business
man of Ridgewood, suburb of Col
umbia, shot himself several times to-
night, it is claimed, with the declar-
ed intention of committing suicide.
At a late hour the young man, al
though said to be badly wounded,
was still alive. No cause is assigned
for the alleged attempt at self-de-
struction.
1t is said that Mr.. Holland. just be-
fore the Ridgewood car reached Price
avenue tonight, where he was wait
ing to board it, turned an automatic
pistol which he was holding in his
hands on himself and inflicted a
wound in the neighborhood of his
heart Then, according to the re-
port, he boarded the car and fired
another shot from the automatic,
which penetrated the seat of the car
and glancing tore hole through the
rim of a hat on passengers head,
but fortunately hit none of the oc-
cupants of the car.
1t is said that the conductor i'm
mediately brought the car to stop
near the residence of physician
and requested Mr.. Holland to go to
the doctor, which he refused to do,
saying, so it was stated, that he want
ed to go home and die there.
After descending from the car near
his home and after having gone a
short distance another shct was fired.
Neighbors went to Mr.. Hollands as
sistance. At late hour he was re-
ported as still alive, but desperately
wounded.
Hr. Holland was removed to the
Columbia Hospital. It is thought
that he may have a fighting chance
for recovery. Two bullets are said
to have taken effect in his body. He
is a prominent young man and well
known.
