The Q'7e-1-->1l Of Winston-Salem get

Fitch district is getsso. B! -
lively SUBJECT. -',aice ON ol oNo :,
Therefore TIE SENTINEL proposes
TO keep a-hammerin' until something
IS done-in other words until the
President says who is TO be collector
or where the Office shall be located.
HE Importance of the Office and the
fact that the TWin-City'S claims are
stronger than any other town or city
IN the district, is the reason why
every business man i'm Winston-Salem
should put their shoulders to the
wheel and thereby aid in getting what
these two towns want and should
haYc-the collectors Office.
Sir. w L. E!ll, one Of Winston's
progressive citizehs. can explain to
any doubling Thomas Tie great value
the Office is TO the lucky Place that
can ''claim it as its own.
Nh Hiil was a resident of States
vile when the Oiticc was brought there
and when il was carried away. 1t is
interesting to hear him tell of the
benefits to be derived from the best
Office.
Mr.. Hill, when asked by THE SEN
TINEL man how it was, said
The office is 4 big thing for any
town. When it came to Statesville
business was revived in nearly every
branch. More money was in circua-
tion and the town was on the big road
of prosperity rs long as the office re-
mained there. Every day there were
a number Of men who came to do bus
mess with the main Office. These
men, too. spent their money freely.
1T WAS an unfortunate day for
StateSyiile when tile Office was moved
away 1t WIS just like pulling out
four OF the best business houses in the
town. 1t was the best enterprise we
had, consequently every citizen gave
it up with deep regrets"
Mr.. Hill endorses TIE SENTINEL's s
efforts to secure the collectUrShip for
WinStOn-Salcm. He knows the value
of it,, besides from every business
point Of view, the Office should not be
located any where else.

The industrial record Of the South

they decided this time to work in
combinations, believing they could ac-
complish fully as much for the State.
Friends Of Mr.. Elias say that he has
seven of the delegation on his papers
including Ransom, and among his
other endorsements are leading mem
bers of the bar of the State, prnmi-

RALEIGH, N. c., April 6.-No deaths
have resulted yet from the frightful
accident which occurred at the fair

her to Baltimore to give her the best
medical treatment which can be Sc
cured.

Lawyers Making It Lively.
KILLED IN COURT. SAMUEL wEsNER
ONE OF THE MOST. PROMINENT AT
T0RNEYS, DEAD

EVANSVILLE, IED., May 90
Coley Brown president of the Lab
anon National Gas company, shot
Samuel WeSner, one of the most
prominent lawyers ID Indiana, at
noon today. Wesner died almost
instantly. The shooting occlred in
the courtroom, directly in front Of
the judges desk.
For several days a suit has been
pending. The argument had been
completed and the court had adjourn
ed and Wesner was laughing and
talking. pleased over the conduct of
the case. Wesner was told that he
must look out for Brown and he re
piled that he heard that Brown had
a revolver last night, but he was not
afraid. Brown then came from the
side of the room where he had been
standing. muttering threats against
Wesner. They met and Brown SAID:
''My reputation is as good as
yours"
One word led to another and
Wesner said: ''If you have gun
pull it. ! dare You you to-" Brown
meanwhile had his hand behind him.
and it is thought that he transferred
the revolver from his left to his
right pocket. Upon the word Brown
drew his revolver and fred shots.
Almost instantly Wesner moved
toward Brown and pulled a long
dagger. Just rs he laid hands on
Brown, Brown fell, and Wesner was
taken off and laid down. Brown
was arrested and his revolver taken
away from him. ,.Wesner's strength
began to fail and he died in a few
moments. Brown was taken to jail
and is not disposed to talk, although
he says Wesner provoked the mat
ter. Brown was badly cut across
the palm of his left hand By the
dagger which Wesner used.
The first ball fred struck Wesner
IN the left forearm and came out
near the elbow. The second ball
struck near the base of the breast
bone and ranged downward. showing
under the skin about four inches
from the base Of the spinal column.
The weapon was 32-caliber Smith
Is Wesson, self-cocking revolver. II
IS five chambered weapon and now
contains two loaded shells, empty
ones and an empty chamber.
The trouble arose over WeSner'S
comments on Browns evidence in
the trial.
