Senator Flanagan Shot.

State Senator w L. Flanagan was shot
and killed at POwhatan q. III Monday
by Mr. w. q Pilkintln The tragedy
was the elimination which many had
feared Of a feud Of long standing,
which grew out Of politics. They
were opposing candidates for Common
wealth s attorney in the recent cleo
tion and there were other political
matters in which their interests and
positions were antagOnistic.
During the recent bitter campaign
Pilkinton issued circulars severely ar
Ranging Flanagan as dishonest OH.
cisl and the latter replied in kind. but
they did not meet and there WAS no
trouble.
The shooting probably grew di-
rectly out If the fight over the post
office at Pllkinton, on the Farmville
and rowhatan Railroad Mrs Dorset
was appointed postmaster aud had Mr..
Pilkinton to prepare her bond and to
send IT to the Department at Wash
ingtOn. Hs WAS accused by Mr.. Elan
agan Of geon-holing 1t and final
ly mutilating the paper before sending
1t on At any rate. the Department
got tired Of waiting for the bond, Mrs.
Dorset was removed and Mrs. Pilkin-
son was appointed TO succeed her Mr.
Flanagan began an investigation OF the
case and then Mrs PilkintOn resigned
and Mrs. Dorset was reappOinted.
In the argument Of the case in the
Circuit Court last week the two law
yers had a war Of words and Flanagan
was very denunciatory. PilkintOn had
recently declared he would run against
Flanagan for the Senate next fall.
Mr. Flanagan was native OF Pow.
hatan, and about 80 years old. A wild
ow and ten children survive him.
The shooting was the outcome Of all
attack made on Pilkinton by Flanagan
The former was standing in the vesti-
bule of the courthouse talking TO an
official, when Flanagan approached and
without a word began to pound him
The two clinched and Flanagan was
pressing PilkintOn back against the
courthouse wall, when the latter
drew his pistol and shot his assailant,
the ball entering just below the collar
bone. II am shot and killed - eI-
claimed Flanagan az he started TO fall,
There was crowd near the shooting.
Judge Miller had Pilkinton taken TO
Richmond for safe keeping. Little
doubt exists that Pilkinton will be
cleared on the ground Of self-defense

Ii is a mistake 10 suppose that the
rainy season in the Philippines lasts
only a few months. | have seen state
ments in the newspapers that the rainy
period will end about Sept 10. That Is
untrue, and such statements tend q
cause dissatisfaction among the Amerl-
can people. who will not understand
WHY active operations are not resumed
at that time. The rainy season lasts
from the May l to Dec / but there is
a short period after ii begins when the
SUSPENSION of operations Is not neces-
sary because the ground has not become
sufficiently soaked. Last year the
rainy season stopped suddenly on Dec
/. We had heavy rain on the last day
Of Nov and a slight shower on the
next day. Then the rain ceased.
THE country dries quickly and IN
few weeks the roads are as hard as can
be- During the rainy season the whole

falls in the wet season. one year they
had 1870 inches The year they had
