A. Double Action Gun.
Mr. H. T, Jones, of Forestville, was
here today and had a strange story to
tell of an accident that occurred Sat
urday near that place. A negro, Sam
Hayes, was at work iu a field and as
he was leaving for dinner saw a hawk
in a large pine. He went to his house
and got an old muzzle loading gun to
shoot it with. He slipped up cautious
ly and banged away. The barrel of
the gun bursted and the man's wife,
who was watching him, saw him fall
over. She ran to him and found him
uncons. ious. His face was badly cut
and he is now in a very serious condi
tion. A strange thing is that a buck
shot from the gun struck him in the
arm. How the shot was fired
backwards is a mys'ery. The hawk is
still alive.
Emancipation Convention.
Next Friday evening at the hall of
the house of representatives a state
emancipation convention is to be or
ganized, for t! e purpose of securing a
more general observance of "emanci
pation day" by the colored people. A
committee composed of R. II. W. Leak
and V. F. Debnam has issued an ad
dress to the colored citizens of the
State regarding this matter.
Reports from the farm sales in
three-fourths of the counties of Ohio
for 1894 indicate that the shrinkage in
the value of all the farms in the state
in one year is not far from $60,000,
000. The decline is probably tempor
ary, and due to an unfavorable coudi
lioii of general business.
Late this afternoon, a white man
named Smith, was arrested on Wil
mington street for stealing a bag of
flour from a grocery store. He pick
ed up the bag and "scooted" out the

Robert George Her Supposed
iMA.N, . C, Jan. 28.
Special to the Visitok.
About two months ago there came
here f ur white tramps. They came
direct from Raleigh but claimed Au
gusta, Ga as tLeir place of residence.
They determined to settle here and
built a small house about 7 miles from
HolTinaa wh'ere they have lived ever
nuee. 1 he party was composed of a
man, Robert George, the woman Ella
SUatford, a chil l and an old woman
who is said to be George's mother.
Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock
the woman Shalford was shot in the
abdomen with a gun. There was no
one in the house at the time the trag
edy occurred except George and KWa
Shalford. The woman was unconscious
and never regained consciousness,
dying an hour after she was shot.
George's story is that KUa was lying
down before the fire and that he took
the gun from the mantel to remove
the caps. As he was doincr so, he
says, the gun was accideutly discharg
ed, the load striking the woman.
The people here are much ex -ited
over th- aifair and it is the generally
expressed opinion that George mur
dered her. The coroner has been sent
for and will hold an inquest today.
It is expected tint damaging evidence
will be brought out against George.
The murdered woman came orignally
from Edgefield, S. C. The shooting
occurred on the property of W. M.
Jones & Co.
