KENTUCKIANS
IN EXTRA SESSION
Meets to Frame a Fair
and Impartial Substitute for the
GoebeI Election Law.
OEr Associated Press. J

FRANKFORT. KY, August 2S.-The
Kentucky Legislature convened in extra
session to-day. Both Houses adjourned
after reading Governor Beckhams brief
message, which stated that the only pur-
pose for which the session was called was
to amend the State election law.
The message stated that the law was a
good one, but that party and factionaI
prejudice had been engendered against it
to such an extent that it was thought best
to make changes before another election
was held. The message concludes:
'.Ir agipary ills. whether physical or
political. should be treated as we'll as
real ores. Your task IN this matter is a
difficult one. You cannot satisfy every
body I do not desire to suggest in detail
any law for your consideration. l have
confidence in your judgment and wisdom
and I believe that you will earnestly and
patriotically set to work to frame a law
in appearance as well as in fact so fair
and so just to all parties that no honest
citizen can find fault with it" The Re-
publican minority will wait for thee Demo-
cratic majority to take the initiative.
The Democratic members held a caucus
tonight to consider changes in the cleo
ton law.
1t Is the opinion here tonight that a
fair election law in the form OF an amend
ment to the Goebel law will be passed. A
vote on the repeal OF the GoebeI law would
be close, and it is believed it would be

PRIMARY IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Hoyt, Prohibitionist, Probably Leads
10y 10000 Votes.
(By Associated Press.
(By Associated Prcss.)

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 2S.-The
Democratic primary in the State to-day
has been attended by many surprises The
general election is mere ratification OF
the primary, and all interest centres in
the latter. The issue has been Dispensary
or Prohibition. Colonel James a. Hoyt, OF
Greenville. was the Prohibition nominee,
and the Dispensary was represented by
Governor McSweeney, NJ Gary, Speaker
of the House of Representatives; Isaac
Howe Patterson, and Rev. Walt Whitman.
The latter had been candidate for office
eighteen years, and never elected. A
canvass of the entire State was made,
each of the forty counties being visited.
Patterson viciously attacked Governor
McSweeney, who became Governor on the
death of Governor Elerbe. Senator Till
man, who claims paternity for the Dis
pensary, came into the campaign and
fought Colonel HIT AS result of this
interference. Tillman's name has been
scratched by 10000 voters although he
has no opponent.
Colonel Hoyt, the Prohibitionist will
probably lead McSweeney by ten thousand
votes. There will be a second primary
two weeks from to-day and the issue be-
tween Hoyt and McSweeney will be close.
4 surprise was the large vote received
by J. H. Tillman for Lieutenant-Gover-
nor. lie is Il lSpuSN OIL tHe oeildlOF. ne

State Treasurer Zimmerman is dc "aated

The race for Congress shows Taibert,
Stokes and Elliott succeed themselves
without opposition; Finley will be beaten
by Straight Stanyard Wilson by Joseph
T Johnston. and James Norton by Lieu
tenant-Governor Scarborough. 1t is evil
dent that I.atinler will succeed himself.
These calculations are based on reports
received at State headquarters and are
not complete. but are evidently Indicative
of final results.

FOUR BULLETS
IN HIS CRANIUM
Exciting Shooting Affair on Mar
shall Street Yesterday
Afternoon.

a great amount of excitement was occa-
stoned in the nelsnborhood of the home Of
Jack Payne, No. 1920 East Marshall Street.
shortly after O'clock, when Graham
johnson. another negro, shot Payne four
times in the head.
johnson was arrested by Jailer H. j.
Tate Deputy Buck Johnson and De-
tective Wren, after pretty chase. He
was carried TO the city jail, but was after
ward removed to the First Police Station.
Payne was taken to the Old Dominion
Hospital. where he received good atten-
ton. and two of the balls were removed
It is not believed that either bullet S1ed
vital spot, and the chances are that
he may recover.
Johnson was seen at the station-house
last night, and gave what appeared to
be a straightforward account of the affair.
He said that ne had lived in the same
house with Payne up to a few weeks ago.
when he Went to Philadelphia to work.
They had been good friends all that time.
He stayed in Philadelphia about two
weeks and returned to Richmond several
days ago. He had arranged to room in
the same house again, and had carried his
clothes there to be washed by the woman
that rented the house.
Monday afternoon he was in his room
when a child belonging to Payne came in.
He told the child to run along TO her
mother. and put her outside his door.
Payne was under the impression that
Johnson hit the child and a quarrel re-
suited Afterward, Johnson says, Payne
apoloSiZed.
Monday night Johnson, with two other
men, was standing near the entrance to
College Alley in conversation, when Payne
appeared at the entrance, about twenty
feet off, and asked If that were Johnson.
He was told that it was. when. SO John
son says, he fired at him three times.
Johnson ran away and called for help,
but no help came. He spent that night
at a house on North Ninth Street
Yesterday afternoon he went to the
house in n wagon driven by friend
whose name he could not recollect. He
called to the woman in the house TO bring
his clothes to him. Payne then came tc
the door, Johnson says. and asked him ii
he were ready to die. Johnson said no
| but Payne fired at him, he says.
Johnson then jumped from the wagor
and drew his pistol. Before he got in 8
| good position to fire Payne had shot al
him three times, He then opened fire or
Payne and ran him into the house. Botf
men continued to fire until their pistol:
