The nIoody shirt.

1t will be impossible for the Northern
Democratic press and It's deputy assistants TO call
the dastardly shooting of negroes in Mississippi
"anothor bogus bloody.shirt outrage" because
the news OF 1t comes through Democratic sources
We're this not the case the charge would be
quickly mnde that the Northern Republicans had
started their "outrage mill" again. The shooting
is entirely in accordance with Bourbon precedent
in Mississippi. II has been their custom there for
years to shoot a few "niggcrs" Just before cleo
tion, then make great show of arms about the
polls on election day, and have reports industri-
ously circulated among the negroes thet IL they
attempt to vote they will be shot. The natural
effect Of this is to frlghlen the negroes from the
polls and the vote of the first families" is there
by swelled and less false counting is necessary

back to the house, and James Weir, IT,, came out
ON the porch and told her what he had done. He
told her that he had hit him with his fist, but did
not think he had hurt him very bad. His hand
was all covered with blood. He then went back
In the room, and came out in few minutes and
said ho thought he had done something dreadful,
or words to that effect; said ho didn't know what
made him do II didn't want 10 hurt him, and that
he was very sorry for what he had done. When
Jim realized what he had done he became stricken
with remorse, and sent for assistance. Neighbors
and physicians came and Jim had the bloody and
almost lifeless body of his father placed the bed

father back TO life and begged his neighbors to
help him out Of his trouble. The old mans
skull was crushed, and he never spoke after being
felled to the floor by his passionate son. The
General died the next morning at four o'clock.
After being satisfied that his father would die

tained and deliberately walked out OF the house
and escaped. No attempt was made to stop him,
