held last Saturday in every precinct in the
county to elect delegates to the county con-

editor Of the Limestone New Era, for repre-.
sentative over our gallant townsman
Captain Thomas j. Gibson.--
Two of our most prominent citizens became
engag in dispute on Saturday, growing
out Of the election of certain delegates to the
county convention, which resulted in pu-
gilistc encounter for the mastery. They
were, however, promptly separated. On
yesterday morning they again met and
without interchanging single word renewed
their attack, each one using his cane as a
weapon of defense They then secured each
pistol, and the afray would doubtless have
proven serious but for the timely interven--
ton of others.-Thomas Howard and
"Babe" Currie met on the street on Saturday
evening and began to quarrel. Howard fired
on Currie, who fed, and succeeded with
some difficulty in escaping. The affair grew
out of an alteration they had had few days
before.
