Wilmington, N. c., August 3.-lnfor-
nation has been received here OF the
shooting of N. A. Mcintyre, a promi-
nent Democrat Of ST. Paul's, Robe
son county. After completing the
count of the vote Thursday night he
was returning home when he was
shot four times in the arm from am
bush, and the buggy in which he was
riding was virtually demolished by
bullets.
After being shot he fell in the bot
tom of the buggy and the firing
ceased. About three minutes later

ANOTHER STORY OF SHOOTING.

Especial to the News and Observer
Lumberton, n. c., August 3.-Full
narticulars of the trouble at st.
Paul's have been ascertained today
A wire fence had been placed around
the house in which the election was
being held. Some negroes threatened
to tear down the fence and rush upon
the boxes They were ordered to get
away from the fence, but refused to
do so until the deputy sheriff sum-
moned help to eject them forcibly;
they then left threatening to return
later, and said they would see II. II.
Toler, one of the poll-holders They
did return later in the day, and Toler
and others realized there was dan
ger and telegraphed for help. The
negroes then left again.
Last night about 10 o'clock when
N, A. Mcintyre and others were GO
ing HON from st. Paufs in the direc-
tion of Rennert, they were fred upon
from the thicket about two miles
from st. Paul's. Mcintyre was in front
and was shot at six times, ten large
shot striking him in the arm and
shoulder. He got down in the foot
of his buggy, which was riddled with
shot, and by that means protected
himself. About twenty shots were fir
ed at the others behind Mcintyre. All
left their horses and fled to the woods
where they stayed hid till this morn
ing. The shooting is believed to have
been done by negroes instigated by
white men. 1t is thought that r. r.
Toler, one of the poll-holders, is the
man they wanted to kin, but he had
taken the precaution to remain at St.
Paul's with Marcus Smith, the reg
istrar.
Mr. Smith had refused to register
a negro convict, and it is learned that
the convict had laid in ambush to
shoot Smith even before the election.
There is good deal of feeling about
the matter, and an effort will be made
to find the negroes that did the shoot
ing and the white men that instiga-
ted it.

About 12 o'clock last night fire was
