NeRr FOlkstOn.
Folkston, Ca, June 1S-News has Just
reached here of a shooting ARRAY at the
Brooks Lumber Company's works last
Sunday night. The difficulty started be-
tween J. R. Bashlott, woodsman. and
W. B. Austin, engineer for the Brooks
Lumber Company. Bashlott was drink
ing and made several attempts to shoot
Austin. Austin took Bashlott's pistol
away from him and then Baslott went
and got a Winchester rifle, but Austin
succeeded in taking the rifle from him.
When BashlOtt got sober his friends al
vised him to go to Austin and make an
apology, which he did. While Bashlott
and Austin were talking Austin said there
would never have been anything of it r
it had not been for Strong, who was Sit
ting little way off. When Strong heard
this he drew his pistol. On seeing this
Austin drew his also, and both com
menced firing. Austin fired five shots and
Strong four. All of Strong's bullets took
effect, one breaking Austins left arm
another passing through the flesh of the
same arm, another through the right and
one through the left thigh. Austin's balls
all missed the mark and Strong was un,
hurt.

North Carolina republicans here who are

which reach them from their state that
there are two or three republican mem
bers of the legislature who will not sup
port Senator Pritchard for reelection un-
der any circumstances. Claude Dockery,
member-elect from Rockingham county. Is
said to be one of these republicans. and ex-
Representative J. NJ. Brewer of Mt Airy
is another. The detection of Dockery
arises from the fact that he is son of
Col. y. II. Dockery, who was defeated for
the republican nomination for governor.

Will never support Senator Pritchard.
Inc case OF Mr.. Brewer is somewhat Diff
Ierent. He is silver republican, although
ne voted for Mckinley. He hopes to secure
the republican caucus nomination for Sem
ator himself, and believes the populists
would support him.
The pepulists, it is said, are not favor
ably disposed to Brewer. They declare
tnat II they are TO have a republican Sem
ator at all. unless he is a rank siIyerite.
they woald prefer it to be Pritchard. They
ma 1l no 1ault with his ability or with any
thing except his silver views. Brewer
poses as silver republican, but he voted
FOR Mckinley the same as Pritchard.
The populists are watching the situation
c4oseiy, and there are slight indications. 1t
Is said, by good judges, that they are way-
erlng In their opposition to Pritchard. They
nave been unable SO far to settle upon a
SILVER republican who would vote in the
