TifE debate in the Senate on the Allison
tariff bill has resulted in the manifestation
OF little scctionalism and determination
on the part OF the Republican Senators to
increase the tax on jutc bagging and on
iron ties, regardless OF the appeals Of
Southern Senators, and their explanation
OF the hardship il would work on the cot
ton planters Of the Southern States. For
instance, nator Berry, OF Arkansas,
showed that Alison's bill, so far as II had
been agreed to in the Senate, had fixed a
tax that must come out Of the pockets Of
the Southern planters and laborers. that
will amount TO l0l cents per bale on a
G,OOO,OOO bale crop, making an aggregate
Of $500 each year, while the tax on
cotton ties will am cunt 10 81, $50, 900 more,
making an additional tax on each bale OF
81 cents. Allison, who processes TO be
tariff reform man and in sympathy with
the farmer and laborer, was memorable.
lie argued for and voted In the interest OF
the bagging manufacturers aud Of the iron
tic men and against those Of the negro
aborcr Of the South and the cotton farmer.

On last Thursday moining Dr. D. J. Brannen was called to Winslow to consult with Dr. Sullivan on the case of a man named IcRay, who was shot by a man, namel Carter, at Kings ranch, abaut aweek pre- vious, ir row. It seems that the two men got into q worldly wrangle, and than went off and watered their horses together at the above ranch. Stopping there, the quarrel was re- newed, when Carter said: We might as well settle this thing light now. " With that he pulled his six shooter anl shot, tie ball entering McRays left side, and penetrating the whole breast, coming out on the ri ght be- tween the 9th and 9th ribs. After he was shot Mckay arose and firel one shot at Carter which just grazed his stomlch. Carter came into Winslow and gave himself up. Nc Rays chances of recovery are against him, as pneumonia has set in.
