Bloody Fractional Battle in Rural Di,
trict of Missiasinni

ABERDEEN, Miss, March News
reaches here to-day of a terrible battle
between citizens of the Fifth District of
Monroe County, fifteen miles north of
Aberdeen. The tragedy was brought
about by the action of Mr.. Davenport
teacher OF a public school at Rome,
eXpelllng one or two pupils from
his school. The friends of
the teacher on the one hand
and those of the offended parties on the
other, met at the schoolhouse and a
difficulty occurred between the factions,
in which a number participated with
pistols and other weapons. In the
melee James Bailey, Jr., fired six
charges from his pistol, instantly killing
r. A. Rutledge and wounding his son,
Edward, so seriously that he
died the following day. He also
inflicted a severe flesh wound
upon Benjamin English and uninten-
tionally shot his younger brother
through the finger, when his ammuni-
ton was exhausted. Bailey received a
glancing bullet against rib and slight
cut in his back from knife. The battle

$4,000 Against Her Assailant.

At Chicago, on the 9th, Frank Ten
ney, a boot and shoe dealer on Lake
Street, failed to defend suit by pret-

pay it. Instead of giving her 500 a

plaintiff a verdict of 5000 and the
foreman of the jury declared quite en-

her more had she asked it. The plain

This week an event notable alike in
commercial and political history oc.
ours in Germany. Hamburg and
Bremen surrender the bulk of their
ancient privileges Of free Hanse towns
and become incorporated in the gen.
eral German customs system. Lu.
beck lost these privileges in 1866, but
Hamburg and Bremen have been able
thus long to cling to them in the teeth
OF Bismarck's hostility. They still re-
tain the right to send representatives
to the Bundesrath and Reichstag, but
that. will be the last remaining vestige
Of an independence..which in the Mid.
die Ages, gave the Hanseatic League
the wealth and courage to make war
upon kings. The merchants of Ham
burg, says correspondent, have made
during the past six years extensive
preparation for the change. Whole
blocks of old houses have been torn
down. new warehouses and new quay.
built, canals widened and genera
transformation of the wharf quarte
has been effected. 1t is claimed tina
the change will materially augmen

ir the trading world. but it is bitterl
unpopular with the great mass of cit
zens, as it will increase by 20 per Ger

County Candidates.

In to-day's issue we publish the
call for the primaries and convention
at which the county democratic can
didates are to be named. The pri-
lnaries, Sept 9Th, and the county con-
vention, Sept. 22d Candidates seek
ing nominations should come to the
front. Between this date and the day
of holding the primaries they should
visit every precinct in the county and
make themselves known to the voters,
and every voter should attend his
primary. This election should come
directly from the people and the peo-
pie should give an expression Of
choice through their delegates select
ed in the primaries. A wise selection
of the best fitted men in the party for
the different offices assures victory,
and to make this selection the people
must know The parties for whom they
instruct The NEWS believes a great
er interest will be taken in the selec-
ton of candidates for this campaign
than was ever witnessed in Bingham
county before, and every candidate
will be weighed with more accuracy
than any ever put upon the scales be
fore him, and the better his fitness
is known the better his chances for
the nomination. No man, this time,
will be named because he is simply a
''clever fellow, a .tgood fellow and
feels that the party owes nomina-
tion to him. He must show plainly
and conclusively that he is the best
fitted man in the party for the nomi-
nation he seeks. Again, the voters
should know, in every case, for whom
they instruct, and to do this they
should seek every opportunity to post
themselves on the qualifications and
fitness of the candidates. This mat
ter of selecting candidates is one of
great import and every voter, hooking
to the best interest of the county.
should have a voice in the selection
When the primaries are held it IS TO
be hoped that each precinct will send
its best representative men to the con
vention and when in convention they
will vote for men who will do most
for the county and for their constitn-
ency.
Idaho news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1887-1891, 1888-08-11

Faith in the better country ahead
was illustrated last week in the char
aeter of an old Missouri emigrant
who passed through Blackfoot enroute
TO Washington Territory. His party
consisted of himself and two sons.
According to his statement he had
not been able to do a days work in
fifteen years and one of the boys had
never walked step nor spoken in his
life. The other little fellow, about 12
years, was the stay and support of
the family. They had been on the
road over IL months. What Eldorado
and Spring of Youth the old man ex-
poets to find at his journeys end he
failed to tell.
None of us know too much about
the affairs of our government, and we
should therefore lose no opportunity
to post ourselves. Let reason and
not passion prevail in the coming
campaign. The race should be one
of issues not of personalities. Abuse
never wins hut rather drives men
from you. He that would make
friends must show himself friendly.
The people want something better
than scurrilous abuse and scandalous
personalities. They are not fools,
but reasonable creatures. The journ-
alist or individual who hopes to rise
by decrying his fellowman will, sooner
or later, find himself so low that the
few friends left him can never raise
him from the mud and mire in which
he is buried. The candidate who ex-
poets to get into Office by simply de
nouncing his opponent is not worthy
of the place himself. In the cam
paign upon which we are about to en-
ter, let common sense have its sway
let reason prevail and let every can
didate learn that he is not above his
party and that his dictum alone is not
to govern his party.
