All. oiIlsr Ha fell Shooting.

Williamson, Va, July 3.-Elias
Hatfield, Jr, one of the famous Hat
field gang, got into quarrel with H.
E. Ellis on train which arrived at
Gray, w. Va, at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. Both men had Winchesters and
both started to shoot at the same time
but Hatfield was triAe quicker and
shot Ellis through the head, killing
him instantly. Hatfield who was un-
touched, announced 10 the bystanders
that he was sorry he had to do the
shooting, then walked down to the
river bank and crossed into Kentucky.
He has not been arrested. The cause
of the quarrel was that. six months
ago Ellis was one of citizens posse
which arrested Hatield's brother
and took him to Kentucky without
requisition papers, where he was
wanted for the, part he played in the
HartieldMcCoy feud. Elias Hatfield
who did the killing today, is but
nineteen and has a bad reputation.
A sheriff's posse is after him, and a
number of Ellis relatives have Joined
in the pursuit. A serious encounter
with the outlaws is likely.

the methods of handling cotton has
brought increased value to the cotton
and additional profits to the ginner at
lower take.out than was common,
but here comes the round bale press
and does none of these things, but
makes on actual loss on the running
business on top of the fact that it pro.
poses to advance the take-out from the
the customary charges, and yet the
claims for it are larger than all the
claims combined ever made for a single
improvement. NV experience would
say that it all appears to me lot Of
talk, tostered and pushed by those
interested in the new venture.
The president of the American Cot
ton Company, after visiting the South
in the interest of the round bale, gave
an interview IN Baltimore in which he
went right off taking and elaborated
on the advantages of the method Of
baling, the lap, the savings of insur-
ance, freights, storage, etc. but he did
not show his lessees while South how
they were going to get their money
back, Or show any new people how
they were going to make money out of
the contract offered.
] also noticed in "Cotton Facts"
that Mr.. D. C. Ball has quite lot to
say concerning the uniform bale adopt
ed by the square bale last season, and
says that the interior folks are now
beginning to receive returns from this
bale and that the little so cents expect
ed on this cotton has not materialized.
1t is bad thing for him to talk abort
'those returns for his people have at
last received some returns and all the
mighty claims of the round bale goes
into the air.
If all my mistakes and losses of a
life time thus far were added together,
they would not equal the harasslng
experience l have had with the round
bale. Yours truly,
E. K. MIDDLETON.

MORE TEARS.

Yesterday the justice court room and

was changed to the district court room.

night committed to the reform school.
escorted him and with tears begged for
an intervention in behalf of her son, who
up to this time she had paid much at
tention to.
The Judge heard her tale of woe. which
was to the effect that she was anxious
to save her boy from going to the reform
school and would send him to a brothers
school in California if p%ardoned from the
reform school. County Attorney Duffy
was called in and consulted with Judge
Napton, who up to a late hour today had
not rescinded his order to commit Johnnie
to the reform school.
