Two Merchants Have Al Fight, Ending
In the Death of One.

Correspondence Of The Messenger.)
Wilson, N. c., January 2.
The closing scenes of the old year and
the beginning OF the new were to many
people in Wilson very sad and TO 9th
ers shocking.
On Saturday night on Tarboro street
there occurred a tragedy. Two of Will
sons prominent young merchants had
a quarrel which tonight places one in
Jail and the other beyond the reach of
things mortal.
Mr.. Rob-. Bullock and MI. w. d.
Ruffin have joining stores on orc of
the principal streets OF HnsJu. LATE
Saturday night Bullock was in Ruff1n's
store and said something TO him about
telling lies or him.
Seeing a fight would probably result,
. Bullock went out and returned to his
own store. Ruffin in a few minutes fol-
lowed him, with a pistol. One of Bull
locks clerks warned him of his danger,
but he made no effort TO avoid meeting
Ruffin.
They met in front Of Bullock's stoI :
and Ruffin began firing. The first shot
did no damage.
Before a second shot could be fired
Bullock got a cheese knife and made
an effort TO defend himself. Two more
shots were Immediately fired by Ruff

Bullock.
Friends rushed in n parted the
two men. 1t was soon found that Bull
locks wounds were fatal. Drs. Albert
Anderson and G.. Z. Moore were called
in and the patient was taken to their
sa~nitarium, where an operation was
performed. Little hopes were given by
the doctors in charge of his
He fingered until late Sunday after
noon when the end came.
Ruffin was at once taken in charge
by Sheriff Sharp and Policeman Hor-
rell. He was taken at once to the
sheriff's private office where he Was
confined until Bullock died, when he
was confined in jail. Your correspond
ent saw the prisoner during the norm
ing on Sunday. He had been charged
by his counsel, Messrs. F. A. Woodland,
S. A. Woodland and j. E. Woodland, to
make no statement at all. This advice
he took literally. He woul say moth
ing whatever. His appearance was of
a man undergoing a great mental
strain.
On Monday evening a c~oroner's jury
was empaneled by DR.. Ruffin and an
inquest held. The verdict of the jury
was the deceased came to his death
from pistol wounds inflicted by w. D.
Ruffin. A preliminary trial was at once
held. AS a result of the examination
the prisoner was allowed pail In the
sum of 81, 900.
The feeling in Wilson over the shoot
ing is very much divided. Some claim
the shooting was dom wholly in self
defense, while others regard it as being
done to satisfy an old gTudge. There
a nothing brought out in the evil
dence to prove previous unpleasant re-
lations between them. Another opinion
is that Ruffin, being very hot tempered,
did the deed not realizing until too
late.

COTTON

Charlotte, N. CT January I'm ar
interview with an Associated Press re-
! porter, Mr.. D. A. Tompkins, the we'll
known cotton mill expert, takes a most
encouraging view of textile conditions
in the outh. In reply to a question as
to the prospects of new mill construc-
ton in 1900, Mr.. Tompkins replied that
expectations in this line will be fully
met.
The machine manufacturers in the
United States" said Mr.. Tompkins,
"can make $500, 900 spindles a year.
That is theextent of their output. The
new mills to be built in 1900 will re-
quire 1000, 900 spindles for their equip
ment, so that the mill construction this
year will be very nearly equal to the
capacity of the machine plants to turn
out spindles."
Continuing, Mr.. Tompkins said:
New England has $4,000, 900 spindles,
of which 1000, 900 are located in Massa-
chusetts. There are now 5000, 900 in the
south. At the end of 1900. the south
will have 1000, 900 spindles, inc New
England will still have $4,000, 900. In
Massachusetts,, new spindles are being
put in on fine stuff only, while old ones
are being discontinued on coarse stuff.
"O1d England has 46, 900, 900 spindles
now: the south 5000, 900; the United
States, including the Middle states, 20,-
600, 900. At the rate of 2,000.0 900 new
spindles a year, the present rate of in
crease, ten years from now, the United
States would have about the same
number of spindles as England. OF
these, New England and the Middle
states would probably have 20, 000, 900,
all on fine goods and the south % $780,
600. In other words the United States
in 1910 will have as many spindles as
England. and the south will have more
spindles than New England and the
middle states combined"
Mr.. '~Tompkins says there is not the
slightest fear of over production if we
properly develop our market opportun-
tiles. The Orient, he says, might be de-
veloped to take the product of 10, 000,-
GOO spindles in ten years, over and above
the present production. Just how re-
mote the possibility of over-production,
is manifest from the fact that it will
require 100, 000, 900 spindles to manufac-
ture the cotton of the world into the
average grade of cloth, and it has been
shown, there are but 20, ZOO, 900 spUhdles
in the United States, and 5000. 900 in the
south.
