There was great deal of excitement
on the excursion train to and from Ma
rietta Wednesday. Shooting, drinking,
cursing and fighting seemed to be the
order of the day. As the train was re-
turning at night Bob Smith, of Morgan
town, son of Senator Smith, was shot
and killed by man by the name of
Hayes, of Murphy, N. 9. Smith lived
about two hours after being shot. 1t is
said that Smith began cursing Hayes
and some ladies, when the latter drew
his pistol and scuffie ensued with the
above result. The shooting occurred
between. Woodstock and Canton. Hayes
made his escape. There was, also, sew
eral cutting ARRAYS and blood flowed
freely. The law should mete out JUS
tice to such men. A reward Of 5000 is
offered for the capture of Hayes.-Jas-

POLITICAL STRAWS.

Writing from New York to the Chicago
Record MIR. VIM. e. Curtis says:
Before ex-senator Henderson sailed for
Europe this morning he told a friend
that he had seen and heard enough dur
ing his stay at Saratoga and New York
city to convince him that the Republic
cans were not going to have walkover
in this State. "Majorities change very
suddenly in New York" he said. IF you
will examine the political almanacs you
will see that the candidate of one party
has been elected by large majority one
year and the candidate of another party
by a similar majority the next without
any reason apparent to the outsider.
From what 1 picked up in gossiping
among politicians of both parties here
and at Saratoga continued General
Henderson, "and from what l gathered
from the lawyers / met at the meeting
Of the Bar Association, / am convinced
that Croker intends to carry the State
for Bryan if possible, and that he is
pledged to do so. Everybody familiar
with New York politics knows what that
means, and the Republicans of the State
should be fully advised of the danger"
AS illustrating Senator Manderson's
remarks a canvass of the compositors in
the New York Herald office last night
resulted: Bryan, 1C6; Mckinley, IS;
Woolley, /; undecided, 8. Four years ago
about this time similar canvass prac-
tically among the same men resulted:
Mckinley, "a; Bryan, 81.
1t is asserted by those who know that
there is over 10000 in the treasury of
Tammany hall to start the campaign
with. This has been raised from the
regular dues from the members of the
society. There has been no assessment
It is also asserted that MIR. Croker has
promised substantial assistance to the
national committee at Chicago.

Veterans.

To the Veterans of the late Spanish

Comrades Most of you are aware that

Gently announced himself a candidate for
the United States Senate to succeed
Marion Butler. The matter will be de-
termined by Democratic primary on the
9th day of next November, when the gen
eral election takes place.
/ desire to call your attention to the
fact that no man in the State was more
kindly disposed towards the members of
the First and Second Regiments than
General Carr He visited the troops while
camped in North Carolina, and also the
First Regiment in Jacksonville, Fla, and
did everything in his power to help the
men who were in need.
at the time of his visit to Florida the
First Regiment was due nearly two
months pay, and General Carr finding
that many. Of the men were suffering on
this account, promptly offered to pay off
the entire regiment, officers and men, and
had sufficient funds for that purpose
transferred to one of the Jacksonville
banks, but the War Department did not
see fit to allow him to do So He then
money to meet his immediate necessities,
and from time ito time bought needed
delicacies for some who were sick, besides
visiting them and cheering them by his
presence.
In my own company O., he voluntarily
offered to take care of the families of the
men while absent from Durham, and on
Christmas eve in the camp in Cuba, the
boys hearts were gladdened by cable
gram from General Carr, telling them
that 500 had been sent to the company to
provide them with a Christmas dinner,
and on their return he was the first to
grasp their hands and welcome them
home.

then to have in Washington, in the United
States Senate, at the ear of the War De-
partment, man who will do everything
that a man can do to protect the inter-
ests of the soldier boys?
The hardships endured in Raleigh, Jack
sonville, Savannah and Cuba are things
of the past, but as you will recall them,
together with the pleasures of camp life,
l beg you to remember him who did as
much as man could do. and more than
any other man did do, to alleviate those
hardships and to enhance those pleasures,
and to show your appreciation of the man
by supporting him for this office which is
in your gift.
That man is Julian S. Carr, anu the
