a young man. nineteen years Of age.
He was killed while at work ON thu arch

ers working on night turn, and he had
been working only short time, having

out warning and McKie was the only
one of the gang Of men to be victim.
although James Coleman. who was
standing near, had a narrow escape
from n similar fate.
The young man was buried alive by
the mass OF dirt and sand and when he
was dug out II was soon apparent that
his life had fed. DR.. Alley. of the
Emergency hospital at Benwood, was
summoned and he pronounced death to
have been instantaneous and due to a
broken neck. Coroner o. A. Lacey. az
soon as possible lmpannelled jury and

IN THE EIGHTH AND NINTH DISTRICTS.
The Causes of Losses and the Outlook for the
Democratic Party.

To the Editor:-After a storm the care
ful mariner examines his craft in order
to ascerta ain the injury received and the
repairs needed. So it is prudent after the
close of a political contest to look about
us and determine our condition and at
tempt to correct the mistakes of the past
The loss of the Eighth and Ninth Con-
gressional districts is a matter of sincere
regret to the Democracy of the State.
The contest over the adoption of the
constitutional amendment in August
caused a loss of some votes from the
illiterate classes in these district in No
vember. They had been told that its
adoption meant their disfranchisement
and their fears produced a temporary es-
arrangement from the Democratic party.
But when these people learn, as they
WILL that their fears arose from misrep-
sentation they will again return to the
party and resent the deception that has
been practced upon them.
The contest over a choice of United
States Senator, in my judgment caused the
loss of a considerable number of votes to
the Democrats. In many instances the
party workers were engaged in promoting
the success of their favorite candidate
for the Senate and lost sight of the con-
test with the Republican party and it's
candidates.
Another potent cause of the losses in
these districts was that the Republican
party abandoned its contest for suprem-
acy in the other sections of the State
and concentrated it's entire efforts to
carry these two districts. 1t had ample
funds to prosecute it's campaign with
great vigor and to purchase the floating"
element. The negro vote, too, was cast
solidly for the Republican party, which
had not always been the case in some of
the counties of the Eighth district. Here
tofore. some of these negroes voted with
their employers.
/ do not believe the Democratic party
has sustained any permanent loss in
these districts.
The position of that party on the ques-
tions of trust domination and fealty to
the principles set forth in the Constitu-
ton and Declaration of independence is
eternally right and our people will soon
again rally to it's support The coming
session of the Legislature must be guided
by principles of conservatism and econo-
my, but it must look well to the interests
of the public schools

set out and described in section four of
the complaint?
2. Was such publication false and ma
licious?
3. What damage is plaintiff entitled to
receive for such injury?
The ruling of the court on the
issues was then asked one side, the
plaintiff presenting an issue as to
whether the matter published was false
and the other side, the defendant as
to whether the matter published was ma
licious.
Judge Hoke: 81 think l shall simply
put these two together and ask: Did de-
PENDANTS utter and publish said defama-
tory matter, and if so, was it false and
malicious" There must to my mind be
finding that it is both false and malicious
before plaintiff can recover.
1t was announced that there would be
six speeches on both sides, Judge Win
ston opening for defense and Mr.. Biggs
for the plaintiff Mr.. Watson closing for
the plaintiff and Governor Aycock for the
defense.
JUDGE WINSTONS SPEECH.
Judge winston began his speech with
the origin Of the Clark Kilgo controversy
and traced it down to the case on trial,
reading and commenting on the CORE
spondence and newspaper articles.
Touching Judge Clark's criticism of ac-
ceptance of the Duke gift by the trustees
of Trinity he said: "After that the
board acted properly in requesting his
resignation. He had reflected on the col
lege and they thought he ought not to
stay longer among it's trustees. There
are men who ought to say certain things
and others who ought not. man may
be very mean, but it i'll becomes his son
to say SO.
Judge Clark didn't vote to take Mr..
Dukes gift but he didn't vote against it.
He just edged off little and stood pat.
The money was powerful clean as long
as Judge Clark stood in with the crowd.
When he got out it was mighty dirty. If
Kllgo MIXED the COW, Clark held the cat
while the milking was going on. If Kilgo
was tarred, Clark was rubbed with the
same stick. Why didn't he oppose ac-
ceptance of the gift at the time it was
made? He was present. But no, he
waited two years to protest.
Judge Clark is the sharpest. smartest
man in this country. No matter what
happens, he comes out on top. Don't you
trouble yourself about Judge Clark, he'll
take care of himself, you know he was
voted for by all parties and they said the
Supreme court was composed of two DEM
ocrats, two Republicans and Judge
Clark"
Taking up the statement of Mr.. Gattis
to the effect that he didn't think he (Gat-
tis) could get a fair trial in the confer
ence Judge Winston said: "And yet in
the next breath, he admits that he ex-
poets conference to put him on the super
numerary list at two hundred dollars a
year If he does, the money ought to burn
hole in his pocket. He SANDERS his
church and then looks to it for support.
g Eats my bread and drinks my tea,
And walks about town and talks about
me-"
After defining the various kinds of libel,
Judge Winston argued that the pamphlet
was an absolutely privileged communica-
ton unless it could be shown that the
pamphlet was used as pretext to gratify
malice against Gattis. ut devolves upon
