A Horrible Murder Chester Webb
Kills His Brother in-Law, Avery
Kanipe. Webb in Jail.

AbOut1l O'Clock this 1nurs-
day J morning, at Wiley Goug's
on Cane creek, about
three miles west Of Bakersvllle,
Chester Webb shot and almost
instantly killed Avery kanipe'
his brother-in-law. The par
ticulars, as we learned them,
are as follows: Webb had had
some trouble with his wife
Wednesday afternoon and she
left him and went to her
fathers, VIM. Kanipe's, who
lives just below where the muir
der was committed. Wednes-
day night Webb went to his
father-in- FLAWS with a club for
the purpose of beating his
wife. it is said, but Avery
Kanipe, her brother, who is a
giant in stature, stood Webb
off and he { Webb then went
away. This morning, however.
Webb returned, riding a mule,
and found Kanipe at the mill.
He jumped off his mule on the
opposite side of where Kanipe
was sitting on a saw-log. and.
with a terrible oath, said, Il
have come for us to shoot it
out" Kanipe started to rise
from the log and Webb fired,
the ball taking effect in the left
temple and lodging just above
the right ear. kanipe fell to
the ground and never moved
after he was shot. AS soon as
the shot was fired, Webb re-
mounted his mule and with an
other terrible oath, said he was
going down and kill the whole
Kanipe family. He did not
execute this threat, but soon
returned, passing right by the
man he had slain. On his re-
turn he met Will johnson and
told him if he opened his mouth
he would shoot his brains out.
He then went back up the Cub
creek road and was seen by
several parties riding leisurely
along towards his home.
Avery Kanipe, the murdered
man, was the son Of VIM. Ka-
nipe and was about 10 years Of
age. 1t is said by those who
knew him we'll that he was a
quiet young man, there being
nothing against his character.
Chester Webb, the assassin, is
the son of Sylverter Webb of
Cub creek, is about % years Of
age, and before this horrible
crime, had always borne a very
good reputation. He has been
somewhat wild, but had never
gotten into any trouble. This
sad affair is a terrible blow to
the families Of the young men,
who IRE highly respected.

THERE is great deal of diversity in
the spelling of Chinese names, due to the
fact that each traveller and writer repre-
sents the Chinese sounds by the alphabet
Of his own country. As the French were
the first and most voluminous writers on
China most of the names are affected by
the French spelling. Thus, the Chinese
pronounce the name of their Northern

THE CHI*ESE SITUATION.

The Chinese situation continues to be
exceedingly puzzling. No other Nation
than the United States has taken in good
faith Russia's proposition to withdraw
from Picking. In England ard Germany
our acceptance has been regarded with
painful surprise A definite answer
from London is said to be delayed by the
absence of the Prime Minister in Switzer-
land, on his vacation. This is clearly n
subterfuge. He has no business to be
away at such a critical time. None of
Eussia and Japan, seem to be really in
earnest about bringing abuut a speedy
settlement of affairs in China. If it had
been left to Great Britain no advance
would have been made on Picking for
weeks yet. 1t is reported that Great Brit
uin and Germany have agreed to remain
in Picking, no matter what the rest may
do.
1t will be noticed that our Government

DEcLfS1Ne RATE OF PENSION.

More significant and unanswerable than
any amount Of protestation and argu-
ment as to the illiberal policy Of the pres
ent Commissioner of Pensions is the
steady decline in the average value OF
each pension on the roll, and this, too, at
a time when the increasing age and in
frmities of the veterans and their widows
require that their allowances should be
increased, rather than diminished. Com
missioner Raum left the average value of
the pensions under the Act of June q,
$115.12. Commissioner Lochren cut this
down to $10955, an average reduction of
nearly ST Oh each pensioner, or so cents
month. Commissioner Evans whitfield
it down still farther last year to SlOS.2S,
making a reduction of nearly So from
Commissioner Raums figure, or about GO
cents month on each pensioner.

VETERANS IN THE PENSION BUREAU

If there is any Department in the Gov
eminent that should overflow with veter-
ans and their widows it is the Pension
Bureau. Ii there is any branch of the
public service which should be wholly ad-
ministered by men of long and honorable
service in the field, it is that Bureau. Yet
out of a total of LII employees. there
are only 525 who can by any stretch of
imagination be called veterans or veter-

A VOICE FROM THE SOUTH.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I re-
ceIved the Sample copy OF your paper,
HE NATIONAL TRIBUNE. | am not sur
prised to see the many falsehoods it con-
tanned about the late war of the North
upon the South.
| wondered as l read as to why all
these falsehoods at this late day. l saw
the North as she was, filed with false
hoods, and why she rebelled against the
Constitution of Lhe United States and set
out to invade the South, and now why
So many unmixed falsehoOds about that
war is hard to say. The South was over
powered, the Constitution went down,
centralized Government was spread over
the South. We well know that the Gen
eral Government is of no moment to us.
We see the ruin of both South and North.
Imperialism has laid his deadly hand upon
lis. But, oh, the South is helpless. We
must pass under its mandate. But, let
come what may, the South will remain
the South. The true principles of the
Constitution of our fathers are brighter
today than in '61-'G5.
Our patriotism is only sleeping. We
look for the day of its resurrection, and
shall on that day make, as we did in
'6l-CJ, a righteous demand.
Despite of all the hypocricy that some
of the people have presented to the North,
we have been able to see that it was de-
ttttet., anu Why Will
out the sword. when both people know it
to be falschoGd. and that it is q union
by the swOid:
We are srOaiIing with unutterable
sound of the ali-kiling taxes. We see our
real estate slowly but surely being con-
tscated.
Now, it is strange to us that the stigma
of rebellion against the South is taught
in the Northern schools as truth.
Now, every wellinfOrmed person Of the
North knows that the North instead of the
South were the rebels and traitors to the
Government. Not one thing did the South
do that she did not have the right to do.
We of the South took the lying stigma
at first as joke. but it has become history
with the North, as dark as the crime is.
We have our eye fixed on The North, and
the North has her eye fixed on the South.
Now, | ask you to pardon pencil. This
is only for you TO see, that we of the
South do not tolerate falsehoods.
Now, gentlemen, this is not to insult
YOU; it is only plain truth. Yours truly
