EDITORS SHOOT EACH OTHER.

4. B. Williams was editor of the
Culpeper (Va.) Exponent, and Ed
win Barbour, of the Adrance, pub
lished in the same village. Both
were very young men and belonged
to families prominent for many gen
erations. A recent issue of Bar.
bour's paper had communication
rejecting "a Williams. The latter
demanded the author and Barbour
answered that he was personally re-
sponsible. The next issue Of the
Exponent contained bitter denun-
citation of the Advance and all con-
nected with it. Barbour replied
that having assumed responsibility
Williams should have come to him
for redress instead of abusing him
in his paper, and he denounced the
Opponents editor in very bitter
terms. Thereupon Williams sent
word to Barbour to come out into
the street. Barbour declined. Will
liams then went to the Adrance of.
flee taking one of his friends with
him. Barbour WAS writing, and in
reply to question said that the
matter could be settled by the
friends of both parties. Thereupon
Williams struck him. Both drew
their pistols instantly and commenc,
ed firing at about 6 PAGES. Both
pistols were emptied. Williams was
shot in the heart and died in few
hours. Barbour was dangerously
wounded in the lower part of his
body, and it is thought the wound
will prove fatal.
