HUNTING MISHAP
Shot From Prof. Mathis Gun
Penerates Eye Of Jas. A.
Walker

Jas. A. Walker, well known .Ameri-
|cus man, lost his left eye in an un-
fortunate accident while hunting in
IA field just off the Bun1phead road
about two miles north of Americus
yesterday afternoon. A bird shot,
fired from the. gun of Prof. j. E. Ma
this, city school superintendent, pene-
trated the eye and destroyed the
sight completely, SO that removal of
the eye ball was advised. The opera
tion was performed last evening. Mr..
Walker was thoroughly game after
the accident and after the operation,
and was Informed that he would be
all right in three days.
Mr.. Walker and Prof. Mathis had
been in the field few minutes and
had separated. They were 200 to 800
yards apart when Prof. Mathis last
saw Mr., Walker. Mr.. Mathis dog
came to a point and two birds flew
up, at which he shot. Thinking he
had wounded one, he started after it.
He shortly "kicked up a single bird,
which he fired at suddenly. After
the shot he heard Mr.. Walker call
out and saw him drop to his knees
100 OF more yards distant in the di.
rection he had fired. He had not
seen him before. Hurrying to him,
Mr.. Mathis found Mr.. Walkers face
bloody from four shot wounds, one
of which was in the eye. Mr.. Walker
remarked he could not see from the
wounded eye, but said it didn't hurt
much and insisted that they continue
looking for birds. Mr. Mathis, how
ever, prevailed upon him to return
to town, which was done and DIR.
Grubbs consulted. After an ex-ray
examination the operation was de-
termined upon to guard against pos
sible danger to the other eye. After
the operation Mr.. Walker insisted
that Mrs. Walker call Prof. Mathis
by phone and inform him that every
thing was all right and not to worry
He certainly was game" said
Prof. Mathis.

ELDAVILLE, Dev. 8.-This morn

all former sales ever put on in this

the tickets were thrown by the man
aaer of the sale, f. c. Donovan, the
crowd went wild with enthusiasm.
Some of the envelopes fell on the
awning and in the trees and scramb-
ling followed in the effort to secure
these. The boys climbed the posts
and soon had secured the stray en-
velopes.
The crowd was good natured and
good feeling prevailed among all,
The doors Of the store were open

customers found many bargains
awaiting them. Several extra clerks
had been employed and all were kept
busy waiting on the people that
crowded the store.
"The greatest spectacle have ever
witnessed in the entire II years !

rington enthusiastically. People ac-
tually flocked to the doors for admit
tance. No such thing as waiting on
the crowds which came to secure the
tremendous bargains awaiting them
The rush became SO great that we
actually had to close the doors sew
eral times during the morning in or
der to arrange the stock to serve
others who came. The greatest thing
I ever saw, and am delighted at the
results
This was not forced sale, Mr..

LASSlTR MADE
GIRL NO OFFER
Proposal Came Solely From Her;
Court And Solicitor Informed
By Defense

Because of an error of fact in the
news account of the Lassiter case
in Superior court as appearing in
part of the edition of this paper yes
terday, an injustice was done Mr..
Lassiter and his attorney, j, A. Hix-
on. The error came about through
the failure of the reporter to hear
all of the case and appearing in the
court room only near its conclusion
and gathering a wrong impression
from what transpired at that time.
This effort TO correct a mis-state-
ment is voluntarily made.
The proposal to settle the case
against Mr.. Lassiter, who was ac-
cused by Sumter county girl, came
from the girl and not from the de-
fense, she admitting under question
ing by Solicitor FELTON, in the pres
ence of the court that her terms Of
settlement were $1,000 and the de-
fendant's agreement to leave this
part of the country. Solicitor FELTON,
informed the court that she had been
unusually persistent in her efforts to
prosecute the case at the beginning.
expressing a desire to prosecute ito
the extent of the law"
According to Judge Hixon, Lassi-
ter's attorney, no offer of settlement
was ever made to the girl, and he
declared that when friends of hers
came to him with proposal he told
them first to go to the solicitor for
his approval; that Ne would consider
a settlement if the amount involved
were less than the costs of Mr.. Lassi-
ter defending himself and losing his
time in court. According to Judge
Eixon, he informed both the solicitor
and Judge Littlejohn in writing of
the proposal, insuring himself of their
approval before entertaining it him
self as the counsel for the defense.
''Such a settlement with the ap-
proval of the court and solicitor
would be entirely proper" said he.
