Resolved, That The time has come
when it is the duty Of conservative

all parts of the country are alike
interested. Therefore, we desire
and propose to form Union party,
mainly designed to put an end to
useless, and worse than uselcs. ag.

open the door for the entrance OF
members of any present or forme,

plore the duty off recording sad
and melancholy occurrence that took

stances are these Mr.. Williams and
several other gentlemen went TO
the house Of Mr.. Barfield for the
purpose OF arrestin g him under at
indictment for shooting with intent
to kill, having no idea that he
would resist the execution OF the
writ although he had previously
said that he would not be TAKEN
They reached his house in the even
ing and awaited until dark before
proceeding to the arrest. Mr. Bar
field hearing some noise in the
woods near the house started in
that direction with two shot guns,
and met Mr.. Williams and Sam
Quarles in the road about one hun
dred yards from the house when he

feet in Mr.. Williams abdomen and
thighs. Eleven buck-shot taking
effect, but only seven entered the
flesh any distance. When the shoot
ing commenced the parties were
some twenty steps from each other.
II is strange that Sam Quarles was
not shot as he was standing by the
side of Mr. Williams when the first
gun was fired Mr.. Barlield was
fired ut eight times during the
evening and was not wounded
Mr.. Il was arrested brought 80 town
