AN INJuREDHUsBAND SLAIN.
After Running His Home Lee Westmore-
land Kills Alfred Welbarn.

Lexington, n. c., April 6.-(SpeciaD
"A serious difficulty occurred at
Thomasville yesterday evening about
6 o'clock between Lee Westmoreland
and Alfred III. Welborn.
For some time back Westmoreland
had grave suspicious that Welborn was
too familiar with his wife and yester-
day he thought his suspicious were
confirmed. They met near Westmore-
lands residence. Welborn drew his
pistol and struck Westmoreland in the
face with it, knocking him down. While
Westmoreland was down WeFborn shot
at him and the bullet grazed his throat.
Westmoreland then drew his pistol and
fired at Welborn and shot him in the
left side of his head. Welborn will
probably die. Westmoreland is now I'm
Jail, awaiting preliminary trial.
There is considerable feeling and
Thomasville is pretty well aroused
over the matter. Westmoreland is a
nephew of Senator J. +. WestmoreIand.
editor of the Thomasville News. and
about twenty-siX years old. Welborn
is a farmer about sixty years old.

SUGAR IN AMERICA.

Elsewhere is reproduced an
article on Sugar" from history
of American industries lately
given by the San Francisco Chro-
nicIe. 1t shows an enormous in
crease in sugar consumption in
the United States. If this increase
continue, as it is not unlikely to
do, the probability is that domes-
tic supply will have stern chase
of the demand for many years yet.
This is a comforting reflection for
Hawaii. 1t is surprising, however,

ment that the matter OF the profit.
able pursuit of beet sugar making
in California is as yet problemati-
cal. This is what the BULLETIN
has held all along, but never ex
pected any support for the belief
from California. What at present
chiefly calls for anxiety on the
part of Hawaiian sugar producers
is uncertainty respecting the poll
cy of the United States respecting
sugar. The Democratic party is
blamed for giving the home pro-
duction setback by abrogating
the bounty. Will the Republi-
cans, when they have full swing
again as is likely to be the case,
restore the bounty and abolish
the raw sugar duties? This would
destroy the benefits of the recipro,
city treaty to Hawaii, as the same
policy did before.
