ST. LOUIS, November 5.-A double

Missouri. 1t appears on Sunday af-
ternoon young son of Edward G.
Hurst, farmer living seven miles
from Climas Springs, was assaulted
by John and Robert Swanagan, liv-

neighbor, w. B. Green, started after
the Swanagans. They soon over
hauled them and when within twen-
ty PAGES, John Swanagan opened fire
with a double. barrelled shot gun.

neck killing him instantly. The
murderers escaped, but the whole
county is aroused and officers are out
in all directions, searching for them.

first, the rights to determine who are

Who She?

A grocery delivery wagon driver
had an adventure yesterday afternoon
bout $50 o'clock, as he was driving
toward Fourth street bridge ON which
he saw rather comedy looking young
woman standing. AS he approached
the bridge he saw her climbing up
on the iron railing, and appeared as
though she was about to jump into
the FLYER. He leaped from his wagon
and ran to her. Catching her, he
lifted her off the railing and asked
what she was trying to do. She said
che was tired of life and wanted to
die. He took her to the nearest tele-
phone, where he called the mounted
police and they gave her in the care
OF lady in the neiy borhood. She
is blonde and rather young looking.
Her name or the cause of her despon-
dency could not be learned.

HAD less dirt been mixed with the
sand used in paving Commerce street
and had that pavement been swept
after the contractors left it, there
would have been few tons less mud
on the surface of the pavement than
there is now, and strangers might
have found out that the street actual
ly had been paved, without requiring
an affidavit before notary public to
convince them of the fact. Why the
cutters on Alamo plaza have never
been cleaned and no refuse removed
since the paving contractors finished

which the average citizen has tried
mighty hard to find out, but can't.

EVERY citizen of North Carolina
and many true and good men of other
States condole the increased suffering
of our distinguished statesman, Sen
ator L. b. Vance 1t is now feared
that his sight is totally impaired.
How sad to think of him as forever
shut out from the familiar scenes
which inspired his heart with pride
and admiration for his native land
and from the faces of those whom he
delighted to serve and who, in turn,
were always proud to do him honor.
The merry twinkle Of his large light
eyes will never be forgotten by those
upon whom they have fallen, in
cheerful recognition, in the past and
to whom they have spoken, as it
were, in all accord with the ever in
creasing flow of his mind and soul.
He has the sympathy of people
among whom his name will ever live
a household word long after the light
of his personal being has gone out in
the darkness oftemporal death. May
the God Of his Fathers cheer him in
his gloom and give him the assurance
of hope immortal.

AN exchange says "a cry of indigna-
ton should come from every quarter of
the State at the action of the penitentiarY
authorities in agreeing 10 hire large
number of convicts to the Wetmore
shoe factory, at Raleigh, at so cents per
day. Thus is convict labor to be brought
in competition with the honest labor of
the State. 1t is simply outrageous and
should be protested against by all good
citizens"
We are in accord with the opinion
thus expressed. 1t is an outrage
upon honest labor that it should be
forced, by authority of law, to COM
pete with convicts who are hired out
at starvation prices and who, in most
instances, are most inferior artisans.
Our State is bidding in a strange
way for an increased population Of
industrious people-for the honest
white laborer of the North to settle
amongst its people and develop its
resources.
