BULLETS FLYING.
A SUNDAY SHOOTING AF-
FAIR In MECKLENBURG.
The Republican Nominee for
Sheriff Shot by a Republican
Candidate for Township
- .a5 Constable.
Charlotte Chronicle.

---"-
| Mr.. NJ. A. Dunlin, the Republican
nominee for Sheriff of Mecklepburg
county, lies at his Lome in Clear
Greek township with two bullet
wounds in his body, The psrty who
hot him is Mr.. W. Sherman Flow,
a Republican candidate for constable
Of Clear Creek township.
The affair occurred last Sundaj, on
the plantation of Mr.. Dulin; but
nothing was known oft in town until
yes t.rday morning, when the news
was brought here by some of the
wounded mans neighbors.
Jas. Hagler is brother-in-law to
Dunlin, and rents house ON Dulin's
farm. Sunday afternoon Flow went
to Hagler's house and sent him out to
hunt up pu'in. Hager soon returned
with Dulin; and entered his house,
leaving Flow and Dulin alone outside.
Shortly afterwards he b, ard them
qusrrelIng. and heard the lie passed,
but docs not know BY which Of the
two men. Almost Immediately there
after h. heard three pistol shots, and
ON going out, found that Dulin was
sh' t. Flow quickly disappeared.
Duliu WAS carried to his home
where he was attended by DR.. j. G.
Black. The physician found that one
bullet had entered Dunlin's left side,
and had LODI -ed III his back, after
ranging twelve inches A second
bullet had entered the lower right
side oil his abdomen; and after a
range of nine inches, had lodged in
his back. Both bullets were cut from
Duniin's back by the doctor. Dur Inns
wounds are serious, but not ne"essa-
rily fatal.
The aff.ir g,ew out Of quarrel
over politics; and Dulin rays that
Flow attacked him because he had
sald he would not vote for Flow.
/ "Whsn we got to dIsputing about
the matter" Dir. Dulin is rrported
TO have stated, "FIow gave me a
shove and then pulled out his pistol
and began shooting at me. One Of the
shots missed me. ! closed IN on him
after / was shot, :and knocked him
down; and then beat him until ] had
to desist upon account Of weakness
eaus ID BY the loss of blood. When
| released him, he ran off,. / think
that in the melee bit one OF bis iins
gers nearly off"
The affair stirred up the people Of
Clear Creek, and parties of citizens
spent Monday in searching for Flow.
Their sympiIh'es appeared t. lie
strongly with Dulin. Flows where's
abouts were unknown at last ac-
counts.

The Rains and Crops.

Notwithstanding the drought Of

and disastrous foods there will be
more than an average crop to gather

housed DO not come up to the Usual
standard of Granville goods.-MetCs

The recent rains have done much
damage to the crops. Low ground

pletcly spoiled. Deep river and the
Cape Fear inundated the low places,
ruiniDg the late corn. Cotton has

will prove very damaging TO crops.
Tobacco has been much injured, cot-

peas are sproutiug in the hulls in

corn down and torn tobacco leaves u

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
A Rhode Islander Lectures in

A Rhode Islander Lectures in
Durham.
Hon. John O'Keeie, from tho State
Of Rhode Island, lectured in Stokes
Hall last night, on the objects and
aims ofthe Knights ofLabor in Amer
lea. 7
Mr.. OKeefe was greeted by a fail
audience, the larger namber being
composed of colored men and some
women among them. He was intros
dnced by Mr.. ID. G. Mangum, who
said that amid the clash Of political
armies arrayed in the present fight
for supremacy, it was pleasure To
listen to a man who would speak up
on higher and nobler object. MIR.
O'Keefe is not an orator. But he
talks in a plain straightforward,
practical manner. His lecture was
interspersed with great many "now
then's. and 'for to's" which we take
it is customary with Rhode Islanders,
and is very noticeable to we Tar
HEELS
His remarks were confined prineis
pally TO the objects Of American
knight of Labor organization, and
the demands the organization make
in eleYating, educating and improy-
ing American workmen. 1t was to
foster q greater respect for man than
for dollars, and for the morals, as
we'll as what he possessed. He emu
merated at length the knight of La
Dor platf5rm-that all laws not bear
ing equally on capital and labor alike
should be removed; laborers protect
ed from danger while employed; a
demand for weekly payments as a
much better system than monthly or
longer accoun s; opposition to the
contract system; prohibition of the
employment Of children under Is
years Of age in factories, workshops
and mines; opposition to the hireing
out Of convicts; the National banking
system; and the necessity of the
Government owning the railroads
the telegraph wires and the tele-
phones. Upon these subject- he pro.
duced dispassionate arguments, and
handled them in q lucid manner from
his standpoint. He was listened to
patiently for quite two hours, and
closed with an appeal to the knights
oi Labor to do their duty, and asking
those not members of the order moi
u. misapprehend the mission Of the
X OF l., and misconstrue their mo-
tiyes-which were for improvement oI
men AMI the communities in which
they lived and labored.

sixtsen-Yssr-Old Girl.
SHARON. Pa, July 7.-One Of the most
sensational elopements that has ever &C.
Cured in Mercer county happened here
this morning. Samuel Thoman, farmer,
aged As years, disappeared with his
niece by marriages. beautiful and buxom
young girl named Della Bolton, aged only
16 years. Thomsn had been unsuccessful
in business and was sold out three months
ago-friends buying the farm-stock and
Implements. These Thoman pre-
vailed upon them to lend him, and
within q few days he has sold every
thing in the way Of livestock on the place
at low prices. Some time between mid.
night and morning he took horse and
buggy, belonging to Frank Williams, the
Adams Express Company's agent, and
drove to Mrs. II. B. Lynn's residence,
where bis love was waiting. She occupied
room with her sister Clara, but so noise.
lessly did she pack and lower trunk and
dress herself that the sleeper was undis-
turbed. The man caught the girl as abe
descended and placed her baggage in the
vehicle.
The couple then drove off and have not
been heard of since. The girls mother Is
dead, and she had been adopted by Mrs.
Lynn some years ago. The family discov-
cred her flight this morning. The owners

pretended as soon as his whereabouts were

bill, in the House. is foregone conclusion,
''There has been no agreement on the part
of the Republicans to stop debate" he
added, "but am Of the opinion that the
bill will pass within two weeks. Ofcourse
one speech is liable to provoke another,
and the debate may last longer, but
hardly think IL will. The Republicans
will resort to no dilatory tactics TO impede
the passage of the measure, but viii permit
il TO be sent to the Senate"
81 believe we shall have final vote on
the bill inside Of two weeks" said Repre-
sentative Breckenridge. ''The wool clause
is likely to excite considerable debate, and
so is that relating to pottery, but / believe
the Republicans are tacitly agreed that the
bill shall 20 TO the Senate.". Representa-
