/ of the cowardly killing of Deputy
i, Marshal John Kirby:
i SPARTANBURG, S. c., March g.
United States Deputy Marshal
John KIRBY was shot and killed to-
day at Holly Springs, in this coun-
ty. Mr.. Kirby with two sons,
Jim and Lloyd, and two specials
named John Miller and Newton
Brown, loft hore Wednesday after
noon for raid in tho upper ond.
Last night thcv found. and cap
turcd two bloclladors named Joe
and John Dill and about sixty
gallons Of corn liquor. John Dill
was a troublesome prisoner and
resisted SO violently that he was
hand cu1loG, Latcr he became
quietcr and promised obedicnco and
tho cuffs worc taken off. The par
ty started in two wagons, Miller
going ahead with tho seized whis-
koy and tho others following. Tho
roar wagon stopped at Holly
Springs oarly this morning to rest
and get breakfast. The two Kirby
boys, supposing tho prisoners TO
be all right and reconciled, went
of to a pond near by to shoot
ducks. Brown was entirely off
his guard, fearing no trouble, and
Deputy Marshal Kirby put down
tho Winchester rifle no carried and
started to crawl into tho wagon
Whilo his back was turned ono of
thca Dllls, supposed to DO John,
picked up tho rifle and fired a bull
lot into kirby's s brain, killing him
instantly. An attempt was made
to shoot Brown, but it seems there
was only ono bullet in the riflo.
Brown himsolf tried to shoot but
his pistol faiiod to work.
Tho Dills escaped, going in tho
direction of CLASSY Mountain,
Greonvllle county. Kirby's body
was brought to tins city. Miller
got III about 8 O'clock This after
noon, bringing the captured whis.
key and reporting tho facts.

Tho Legislature, which adj
journod sino die yesterday after
noon, was in session Glty-four days
and during that time ovor 100 bills
wore introduced and acted upon.
AS to the good or bad results of
this Legislature time Will tell. but
to tho casual observer it looks as
IT, outside tho bills required to be
passed by the Constitution, very
little was accomplished that will
porccptibly affect the dc.tinics Of

Ihe great mass Of the measures
are of no general Importance or
cVcn especial interest, and have,
more or loss local tingc about
them.
There wcro several radical rail-
road bills but thcy were killed in
tho Senate. Two that passed, how
ovcr, arc of imporlanco. The first
is reducing the passenger rates 81
cents lor first class and 2f cents
for second class. The second is
requiring connecting roads owned
by the samo company or associ-
alton to havo tho samo through
passcngcrnand freight rates.
The only other bill, the opcr-
alton of which will be prcccptibly
felt, is tho now Dispcnsary law.

NHFg. Es0YDEN'S CALL.

THE JOURNAL has already pub
lishcd tho call of j. w. BOwdcn
Member National Committee for
South Carolina American Silver
Party, and it is presumed that its
readers have carefully read and
considered the same. 1t must Ec
admitted that his statement of
conditions is clear and appeals
strongly to cvcry fooling Of resent
mcnt against oppression and crime
against the property rights of tho
toiling masses under the form of
laws, but docs he suggest the prop
er remedy for tho trouble? Will
it be best to follow his suggestion
blindly? Has Mr.. Bowden's Sue
cess and experience in public life
qualified him rs q safe leader in Il
matter Of so much Importance?
These are questions that natural
ly present themselves for cunsid-
Grafton, before the people of South
Carolina throw away tho fruits Of
many hard won victory and go
blindly into an uncertain political
organization under a leader, whose
ability for such an undertaking
has not yet been recognized.
Why attempt TO divide tho Reform
ers of the State and form 4 new
organization, when they are all in
favor Of the Same thing, which
AIR. Bowt"n proposes to accom-
pllsh by his plan and under his
leadership?
Every mcmber in congress from
South Carolina, except Mr.. Elliot

spoken for it. They

means Of accomplishing this OBJ
jcct, yot not one Of them are named
by MIR. Howdcn as being in con-
sultatlon with him and advising
tho issue Of his call.
1t appears to the JouNNAL that
the call Was made without proper
consideration and has in il cvi-
dcnccs moro of a desire for leader
ships and, incidcntly, of political
promotion than tho promotion
OF tho real and true interests of
thc toiling masses and non-oilicc
holders of the State.

Shall the people Of Pickcns

Each voter must decide this oues-
ton for himself, but should not
be IN too big a hurry about it.

they will be glad for Pickcns conn

them and holp to keep tho organ

and have control Of tho federal
patronage in this State again, in
the event of Democratic victory.
