Salt Creek Tewnship Troubles.

Human gore bid fair to soak the
ground, at Newhall, last Saturday
morning.
The principal actors were s. j.
Shaughnessy, q Newhall druggist,
and Victor Smith, q farmer boy liv-
ing near that place.
1t seems that Shaughneesy had
been making some remarks in the
presence of Victor Smith derogatory
to the character of niece of Doc
Moss, young man who works for
young Smiths father, Jacob Smith.
Smith told Moss of what Shaughn-
essy had said. and when Moss
asked Shaughnesey aboutit Shaughn-
essy denied having said any such
thing. Then Moss demanded that
he (Shaughnessy) 20 with him to
see Smith, and when Smith was
found he reasserted that Shaughn-
essy had toll him what he (Smith)
had told Moss, and which Shaughn-
essy again promptly denied.
Vile epithets were exchanged be-
tween Smith and Shaughnessy, when
Shaughnessy threw q shaving mug
at Smith, and at the same time
signIfying his intention to give him
a thrashing. As Shaughnessy start
ed toward him. Smith drew q revol-
yer and stood his assailant of.
No blood was spilled. but it was
thought for time that claret would
Aow and flow freely.
Subsequently, Shaughneesy had
Smith arrested on q charge of car.
rying concealed weapons and Smith,
in turn, had Shaughnessy arrested
on q charge of assault.
Smith will be tried either before
Squire Shaughnessy or Squire Isle.
of Salt Creek township, tomorrow.
Shaughnessy was run through the
legal mill OF Squire II. A. Wheeler'e
court, at Keytesville, yesterday and
acquitted by jury.

The mean temperature for the
week ending Saturday, May 18th,
was about normal in the southern
and considerably above the normal
In the central and nothern sections.
From the opening Of the week until
the 17th the weather was very warm,
but during the 18th and 10Th the
temperature ranged from 10 to 20
degrees below the normal. Frost
was general on the morning of the
10th and In some OF the northern
counties did considerable damage co
corn, gardens, grapes and other
tender vegetation, especially on low
ground. In the central and south
ern sections damage was very slight.
The precipitation was deficient in
all sections. Heavy showers occurred
in q few localities, principally in the
southeastern sections, but generally
only light showers are reported and
many correspondents report no
rain during the week. There wss
more than the average amount Of
sunshine In all sections. In meIny Of
the northern and western counties
all crops and especially g.sass and
small grains are greatly N Aeed OF
rain. but In other sect;oaa the con-
ditions have been very tavarahle ex-
cept during the last. Two days Of the
week when the weather was much
too cold. The weather was favorable
for farm work throughout the
| week. 2
Wheat and rye are generally doing
well though Q number Of correspond.
ents report that wheat is heading
out short. Chinch-bugs are report
ed in many counties and in Lincoln
and Monroe counties some helds will
be pastured or plowed up.
In the northwest sections oats are
poor and suffering for rain. IN other
sections they are doing fairly well.
The dry weather has given farm,
ers an opportunity to cultivate their
corn and that crop is generally in
good condition, though cut worms.
wire worms and army worms have
done considerable damage in q num-
Der Of counties, necessitating replant-
ing.
Meadows have been greatly dam
aged by army worms in q number OF
the southeastern counties and they
are also reported in Lincoln coun-
ty.
Stock are doing well on pasture
in most sections but in some local.
titles there is complaint that pastures
are short.

the same.
Gardens and potatoes are doing
well.
Locusts have appeared in many
counties in large numbers.

The frosts OF last Friday and Sat
'urday nights did considerable dam
age to growing vegetation in differ
ent parts Of this county. especially
on high prairies and bottom lands.
Garden "sass," such as tomato
plants, sweet potato plants, beans.
ETC., suffered more or less, and a
number Of corn fields showed evi-
dences of the frost's ravages. Had
1t not been for the high wind which
blew on Friday night the destruc-
tion wrought by Jack Frost's visit
would have been much more serious.

A simple calculation win show
that the Prss-Spectator, since 1888,
has received $2o0.75 more than the
CouRIER for publishing the state
ment the same number OF times, and
the yBrunswicker $235.75 more than
the CouRIER for q like number OF
times.
Now, the Democrat only figures in
the publication Of the financial state
ment since 1885, the year that pa
per was established at Keytesville
by n. A. LeItwich, and which alter
wards moved to Salisbury and
v here 1t 10 still located. Reckoning
from 1885 the Democrat has bad
the publication OF the financial state
ment twics since that time and has
received $500 therefor. The CoUR-
IER has also had the publication Of
the statement twice since 1885, bat
has received only $3.50 therefor
$50 less than the Democrat. Add
to this the expected amount -oi
$3.50 the Democrat 10 to receive for
the publication this year, and the
amount it will have received win
then exceed the amount received by
the COURIER $a10.
By every rule OF "turn" since 1883
the COURIER should. this year, have
had the publication.
The animus OF the award to the
Deuocratis is apparent to any unprei-
udiced mind. Judge Hyde would
be compelled to vacate the bench be-
fore another award would be made.
he was u stakeholder IN q paper
that is having hard work to make
the two ends meet. Now was hiS
opportunity. IL he could by mis-
representation induce hls associates
to take the publication of the finan-
cial statement away from the CoUR-
TER it would be money in his pocket.
This he did. III he had been q scru-
pulously high-toned gentleman he
would have gotten of the bench and
taken his place like any other bidder
at the bar of the court. On the con-
trary he kept his seat on the bench
aud used every art to enrich himself
by means Of the position he held.
The misrepresentation OF the mis-
ft editor of the Democrat, that
we printed the statement two years
in succession in order to pay back
an overcharge in 1889, is apparent
when no paper has ever at any
time made the publication for less
than $157. We are the source of
the courts knowledge that it wasbs
ing gouged. Except for this paper
the people would have been still pay
ing from s217 TO $296 per year for
the financial statement.
Every fact connected with the case,
every principle Of justice demanded
we should have had the statement
this year. And we would have got
ten it except for the fact that Judge
hyde was an interested party tn the
awarding it to the Demo
crat.
The other two members OF the
court took Judge Hyds's word that
the Democrat was entitled to the
statement this year instead of rely
ing upon the records OF the court as
they promised us they would do.
We trust, however, Judges Allen |
and Nickerson have been taught q |
lesson and one they will |
not soon forget, especially IL it is
their desire to be fair in the distribu.
ion OF the courts patronage.

THIRD DAYS SESSION Of the Alabama Chautauqua at
 Shelby Springs MADE MORE INTERESTING G By the Programme of the Round Table and Fl. w. J.
 Hams Lecture.
MADE MORE INTERESTING

SHELBY SPRINGS, July 27.-fSpecia, Cor. respondence. l-After the morning concert by the orchestra, the prayer meeting was conducted by President Jones, who read the story of Zaccheus and made an impress sive, pathetic talk about the meetings all Of us have with the master. He told with great feeling of the life saved, the soul saved, and tue untold good accomplished in after years, simply because wicked soldier sent to kill federal sentinel heard that godly man singing as he kept his watch, 'Cover My Defenseess Head with the Shadow of Thy Wing.''
 The c. L. s. c. round table at 10 was served with rich feast from and about Sidney Lanier. After the responsive scripture lesson, led by Rev. s. P. West, and Chautauqua hymn by the assembly, ''The Marshes of Glynn," one of MT. La. nler's most famous poems, was read by Miss Brown. Mrs. Averett of Shelby told the round table of the development in her home of the Sidney Lanier society, which will soon enter upon the regular c. L. s. c. work. "The Pole of Death,'' Paul Hayne's tribute to the memory of his poet friend, was read by. Miss Haley, and La Miss Brown. MT. Clifford A. Lanier then fittingly delivered his delicate, chaste and truly learned lecture upon the life, person. aIity and work of his gifted brother, that ''royal born in the kingly line of sin gers. U
 The spice of the day was the lecture of Hon. II. W. J. Ham upon "The Georgia Cracker,' theme to which he did ample justice. For more than an hour the audi ence, large in spite of heavy rain storm, was in continual burst of laughter and applause, while the peroration was fine tribute to Georgia's gifted sons, Toombs, Stephens, Bishop Pierce, Hill, Gordon, Grady and Lamar.
 The programme this evening consisted of music by the orchestra and Miss Hobson; recitations, "An Old Sweetheart of Mine" and Aunt Melissy on Boys,'' by Miss Frazer; Mir. Clifford A. Lanier's thought fnl lecture upon socialism, his subject be- ing "lndividualism or Collectivism?' and the interesting stereopticon views of pr. Jones.

BRIGHT IN LEE.

OATES AND CLARKE CARRY THINGS BY
 STORM IN ONE OF KoLB's sTRoNaHoLps.
 CHEAP KoLB TRICK.
 OPEl1KA, July 2S.-[Special.] .]-Today was a red letter day in Lee county politics. The democrats have been preparing for an immense barbecue at Salem, twelve miles south of here, at which Colonel Oates, the democratic nominee for governor. and Congressman Clarke of Mobile, William J. Stevens of Birmingham and James A. Ross of New York would speak.
 The populists, to offset this move, have been advertising for big barbecue here today, with speaking by Kolb and Skaggs, notwithstanding the fact that Kolb and Skaggs speak in north Alabama today. A few of Kolb's most faithful and a few ne- groes met here today and had one of their chronic pow-wows, while at Salem the crowd was tremendous, conservative esti- mates placing the number at between 5000 and 1000. The speakers were listened to with deep interest and the dem ocratic doc- Urine drew forth at times storms of ap- plause. Lee county has been a doubtful county for years, but the prospects are very bright for the democracy. The county is being thoroughly cauvassed through out. Hon. R. H. Clarke of Mobile spoke here tonight to an immense audience. His speech was one of the ablest ever heard in Lee county.

A SHORT SESSION
Of the House, in Which Very Little Business of Importance
 Was Transacted.

WAsHINGToN, July 2S.-The committee on patents, to which today's session in the house was accorded by the committee on rules, was unfortunate in that the first bill presented by Chairman Covert met such opposition that, a ter a brief discus sion, the house voted to adjourn. It was the bill introduced by MT. Cummings of New York to amend the copyright law 30 as 50 more effectually prevent and punish the pirating of plays and operas. The committee on patents reported a substitute for the bill which greatly modified it's punitive features, but even in that shape it was opposed by MT. Hopkins, republi- can, of Illinois, and others.
 A joint resolution was passed extending until August 14 provisions of the appropri- ation bills for the year ending June 30, 1894. The joint resolution under which the several departments are now operating will expire on Tuesday and six of the ap- propriation bills are still in progress.
 An unusually long list of private bills were passed, including those which had been acted upon favorably at the Friday night pension session.

PISTOLS DRAWN
Exciting Scene at Political Speaking
 in Belgreen, Franklin County.

RUssELLvILLE, July 2S.-The county campaign in Franklin is at fever heat. During the speaking at Belgreen today pistols were waved in the air by Probate Judge William Waltrip and County Solic- itor Redwine. The latter is one of the can- didates for the legislature, and stated in the beginning of his speech that the sheriff had sworn falsely in all affidavits he had made in regard to Redwine's connection with the prosecution of late Tax Collector Tompkins, who was short in his accounts. Wilson, the sheriff, replied that Redwiue was an internal liar ,and he knew it, where upon Waltrip and Redwine both drew their pistols, and in the meantime all of the audience that could find a window or door got out of the building in which the speak Ing was being held. Wilson told his as- sailants that he was not armed, but not to think they could bluff him. A constable ran up and told them to keep the peace, and Waltrip told him to get away or he would blow hole through him. The con- stable told him to ssblow and be d-d.' Peace was finally restored and the speaking was resumed at the spring, few hundred yards away. Redwine is very bitter in his denunciatjon of any one who sees proper to oppose him and started out from the be- ginning to bluff his way through.
