Athens, Ga., June 25.?James J. l.i Booth, a well known farmer living three, miles from Statham, was shot and killed this morning at 6 o'clock hy B. A. Boyd, another farmer living &V - a short distance from him. The two had been at outs for some time and had not spoken. Monday they had some words over Boyd's cows getting in Booth's crops. This morning the two men met in front of Booth's house and the difficulty was /* renewed. Each side has a different version as to who was the aggressor. Several shots were fired by both men, but only one took effect, that one passing through the bowels of Booth, . who fell in his tracks. Boyd's little , son and Booth's young daughter were Ly.:- , near by at the time of the shooting. He lingered until six o'clock this aftr \ ernoon, when he passed away. Booth leaves a wife and several children. Boyd made no attempt to ; ; get away, but remained at his home. He has retained counsel to represent him in the courts. Joe Brown is Governor.

Brown was at noon to-day inaugurated governor of Georgia to succeed Hoke Smith, whom he defeated for re-election in the primaries in 1908. v Chief Justice Fish, of the supreme court, administered the oath of inauguration. The inauguration was attended by the simplest ceremonies, only the retiring governor, the State officers and the members of the general assembly tnlrine r>art. Mr. Brown came from his home at ' Marietta this morning on the regu-j lar traction car. The addresses were hrief, and everything was marked by the simplest formality, in accord with the gover< . nor's wishes. > ' Find Against Firemen. Atlanta, Ga., June 26.?The Georgia railroad strike arbitration board ? to-night decided against the seniority of white firemen Over negroes. The arbitrators, however, placed a premium on intelligence among firemen, which, it is believed, will ultimately " result in the gradual elimination of all except the most expert negro firemen. The arbitration board was com^ posed of Hilary Herbert, of Alabama, representing the Georgia railroad, Congressman Thomas Hardwick, of Georgia, representing the firemen, and Chancellor David C. Barrow, of the Georgia university, as umpire. Their decision was worded guardedly ? and did not in any case deal directly with the race problem. CONFESSES TO MURDER. Xegro Admits Killing Railway Engineer Holt. Durham. X. C.. June 27.?Because he was put off a Seaboard Air Line train, on which he was stealing a ride. Solomon Shepard, a negro, according to his own confession made here to-day, shot and killed Engineer Holt. The crime was committed last December, but the negro was arrested only a few days ago in Columbus. Ohio, where his connection with the case was first learned through his protestations of innocence of it. The police had taken him in custody 0:1 another charge. in his confession to-day Shepard said he was returning to Durham fmm FMlflnrl. l 9 miles awav. after a visit to his'sweetheart, when the killing occurred. He said he remained in Durham until six weeks ago. | Shepard spent all of yesterday reading his Bible and "getting religion." and when Dr. X. M. Johnson entered the jail to minister to a sick prisoner he called him to the door of his cell and ia;d bare the facts in the [mysterious murder. Shepard says tl:at on the night of the tragedy he v,as kicked off a train by a brakeman and was in search of the brakeman to kill him when he found him, with several other men, in the cab talking with Engineer Holt. Crawling nearer the engine he raised his gun and fired, the shot striking the engineer. He then walked up the track, and, seeing a light in the Greenberg house, fired at it "just to scare somebody." It was this latter incident that had much to do with the arrest of Reuben Barbee, who had had trouble with the Greenbergs and who is now in jail charged with the murder of Holt. Shepard says that he was here at the time of Barbee's arrest and remained until about six weeks ago. He denies that he' had a white accomplice in his crime. On the strength of the negro's confession Barbee's attorneys will tomorrow ask for their client's release. Lonnie Garrick Wounded. The condition of Lonnie Garrick, the young man who was accidentally shot by a pistol in the hands of his brother, H. S. Garrick, yesterday at, Norway, is today considered satisfactory, though his wound is of such a nature as to be serious. The ball entered the thigh, following the femoral artery. The exact location has not been made as yet. The wounded man lives in Columbia, residing at 400 Lady street. He had gone to visit his brother at Norway and it was at H. S. Garrick's home that the accidental shooting occurred. The two young men had slept together Saturday night, the younger arising first. He found an old pistol which had not been fired in some time and began to clean it. The balls were removed and after the pistol had been cleaned it was reloaded by H. S. Garrick. In some way the pistol fired and the younger Garrick was wounded. He was brought to the city and taken to the Columbia hospital.?Co iumDia Kecora. Duncan Held for Higher Court. Union, June 29.?T. C. Duncan, former president of Union and Buffalo cotton mills and other allied enterprises of this city, and late head of the American Lime Company, bankrupt, of Spring "City, Tenn., must answer to the charges of fraud belore a higher court in this county. Tins was the outcome of the preliminary hearing before Magistrate J. Frost \Valker, Jr., held here this morning in the criminal proceedings brought by John H. Morris, who charges T. C. Duncan with fraud on account of a check issued December, 1906, when it is alleged there were no funds in the bank of Spring City, Tenn., to meet it, the first step of which was the arrest, of Mr. Duncan spvpral weeks aen and his immediate release on bail in the sum of $1,500. To-day's preliminary was held in .Magistrate Walker's office and about 25 persons' were present. Duncan was represented by J. P. K. Bryan, of Charleston, James Munro and Ben. F. Townsend, of this city. John H. Morris, who has instituted the proceedings and swore out the warrant, had no counsel. Four witnesses were sworn, B. F. Arthur, former president of the People's bank; H. B. O'Shields, former assistant cashier of the same institution, and W. H. Gist, president of the Bank of Carlisle, the three foregoing being receivers of the People's bank, and J. M. Greer, former cashier of this bank. The tesimony of these witnesses was such that after all the evidence had been given in and various letters and telegrams admitted in evidence, Magistrate Walker ruled that the case should go to a higher court. Following the preliminary, Magistrate Walker allowed the same bond to remain in force. Negro Kills Another. Society Hill, June 24.?Arthur Wilson, colored, was arrested near here to-day for killing Arthur McDonald, another negro, nqar Bennettsville. early this morning. Ac coramg to tne prisoners siory, ne and McDonald had a fuss over a trivial matter. McDonald cursed Wilson and got a brick. He later put a brick in his pocket and drew a knife. Xo blows were passed then, but McDonald told Wilson he would get him. About 10 minutes later, Wilson, having armed himself with an iron bolt from a wagon, sneaked behind McDonald and struck him back of the head. Wilson then fled. Magistrate Tolson was informed from Bennettsville to look out for the fugitive. He captured him about two miles hence at River ferry, the negro having traveled about 10 miles. Wilson is an ignorant and apparently inoffensive negro, 18 years old. McDonald was said to be a bully, having killed a man some time ago. It is said both negroes worked for Wallace Evans. Wilson was taken to Bennettsville to-night and lodged in jail. HUNTING IN PHILIPPINES. jrame Most Sought?Charge of a Herd of Wiid Carabao. Since the terrible baguios and cloudburst of last October the wild game or tlir mountains has come lown toward the valiey much closer than ever before. It is possible to get good shooting six hours out of ;o\^n. although the better grounds are .arther away. Wild carabao, deer and pig are the principal animals sought. The hunters arrange with friendly native hunters who. 1 ^ J 1 \\ illl nillilillg uu^s, uk:<xi liic uu^a. .Mr. Thomas, principal of the high school, a few weeks ago assisted by some very clever native hunters, brought in five deer. A few weeks since the hunters were in ground so rough they could not use their ponies. They stood along one side of an opening and sent the dogs into the bush expecting some wild hogs. Instead ten wild carabao walked ahead, snorting blood, which Mr. Thomas at the head of the line dropped a "forty-five ninety" soft nosed bullet through the lungs of the rear carabao. The animal plunged t ahead, snorting blood, which stampeded the whole herd. On they rushed down the line as the boys "shinned" up a tree. At the lower end of the line was Mr. Harpst, who only could find a little bush right in the line of the carabao rush. As he climbed the bush it began to bend, and on the bunch came right in his direction. By a good chance shot one of the boys hit the lead carabao on the nose. The animal snorted and turned at one side. All followed him except the animal shot through the lungs. Mr. Harpst sat quietly in the brush, and luckily the wounded animal did not see him as'he rushed by within a few feet. Then dropping to the ground he sent a bullet breaking a hind leg. Still the animal, on three legs and snorting blood, ploughed ahead. The boys followed as he went into the woods. Finally, tangled with underbrush, he iell exhausted and died. These carabao seem, to have a history. The old settlers shrug their shoulders and with bated breath tell of a time years ago when some rich Fillipinos had large corrals located in the mountains to prevent disease. Then some outlaws killed the owners of the corrals in a series of foul murders to get their cattle. On a dark night while trying to drive the carabao away they stampeded and went to the mountains; and it is said that the wild herd are the off-" spring of the old corrals. A tame strain still seems to run in the calves. A while ago when an old carabao was shot the little calf remained by her side. The hunters approached and slipped a noose over the little fellow's head and led him away.?Manilla Times. 25 OPEN FOR TREATMENT. State Board of Health Will Conduct Laboratory.

"In the Pasteur department examinations will be made of animals suspected of rabies, and persons bitten by animals found to be rabid will be treated. "There will be no charge for any examination or treatment. Further information may be obtained by addressing either Dr. F. A. Coward, Directory of Laboratory, or Dr. C. F.
