Cows Cause Fatal Fight.
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.
Atlanta, June 26.?Joseph M.
Brown was at noon to-day inaugurated
governor of Georgia to succeed
Hoke Smith, whom he defeated for

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

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.

\\ 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.

of health decided to establish this
laboratory, which will be used for an
examination for germs for contagious
and infectious diseases and also
for the examination of animals supposed
to be infected with the rabies.
There will be no charge for an examination.
although the board cannot
arrange for quarters for any patients
sent here. Dr. Coward has recently
returned from Baltimore and
other cities where the recognized
Pasteur treatment is given, and as a
result the State board will have a
thoroughly equipped laboratory and
one of the best in the country.
Dr. Williams writes to the physicians
as follows:
"The State board of health announces
with genuine pleasure that
its laboratory will be ready for work
July 1. The work of this laboratory
is intended' for the benefit of citizens
of the State, and wTill be open to them
through the medical profession.

on will be confined, for the present at
least, to bacteriological examinations
looking to tbe prevention of contagious
and infectious diseases, and to
the" administration of the Pasteur
treatment for rabies.
"The bacteriological work will
cover examinations of water, milk,
sputum for the presence of tubercle
bacillus, blood for the presence of
malarial parasites, Widal test, cultures
for diphtheria, feces for hook
worms and smears in general.
"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.
Williams, Secretary State Board of
Health.
