An Editors Fall.

N Fenstemaker, editor of the Char
iton County Republican, was the only
man who .'tumbled" to Col. Joe
Flory's speech, delivered before the
county Republican convention at
Salisbury, Wednesday, August IS.
Col. Flory made the startling predic-
ton that he would be the next COVER
nor of Missouri. This shock was so
sudden and so unexpected 1t proved
to be the blow that almost killed
''Fenste," and in attempting to swaI.
low Flory's "hot air" the editor of the
Republican was overcome with undue
excitement, lost his equilibrium and
fell from the stage to the floor. No
bones were broken and the damage to
the floor has since been repaired
Other Republicans present did not
take Col. Flory's gubernatorlal fore
cast concerning himself so seriously,
and almost split their sides laughing--at
Fenstemaker. We would suggest that
the next Republican convention Fens-
temaker attends he take a parachute
with him if he would spare the floor
to the convention hall.

Deadly Work of Cocaine Flsnd.

One of the most terrible and re-
voting tragdies that ever occurred in
Missouri took place in Platte county
last Monday.
DR.. S. P. Harrington of the little
town of Farley, member of highly
respected family and skillful physi-
clan, after INDUCING in the drink habit
for several years took the Keely cure.
but afterward became addicted to
cocaine instead of whiskeY. While
drunk on that drug he was terror to
his family. He was expelled from the
Masonic order because of his striking
brother Mason. Ever after he was
revengeful toward members of that
order.
Cruel treatment of his wife caused
her to leave home and hide in corn
field, but she finally asked for a war
rant for his arrest, which the justice
refused to grant the day previous the
tragedy. Deeming her life in danger
the wife left home and sought the pro-
lection of friends.
The doctor seemed possessed of the
idea tha: his spouse's mother and an
uncle, who lived near by. had some
thing to do with his wife's going away.
or, at least, they knew where she was
Taking his nine-year -old daughter in
the buggy with him he armed himself
with revolver, and informed the girl
he would kill her grandmother if she
told him lie as to where her mother
was.
On driving to the grandmother's
house he gave the relns to the daugh-
ter, went into the house and shot the
old lady twice, producing instant death.
He then went to the house of his
wife's uncle and killed him.
Then returned to Farley and de-
manded money of several men, and
engaged in a pistol duel with clerk
in store because he would not let
him have money, but neither of the
combatants was seriouly hurt IN this
encounter.
About this time Sheriff Dillingham;
arrived upon the scene, and the doctor
fired upon the sheriff, the ball pierce
ing the brain of the officer.
The sherif's son. standing by the
bleeding and PROSTATE form of his
father, opened fire on the doctor,
three of the bullets taking effect, either
of which was fatal
Thus the lives of four persons, in
Guiding the sheriff of the county. three
of whom were innocent of any wrong.

A Little
Horse Sense

When cloaks go out of style,
the dry goods man cut prices
and sells them cheap. The
clothier does the same way
with mems clothes. Some
times a stock of shoes are
damaged by fire and water,
and the shoe man cut prices
on them and cleans his
shelves.
But what excuse can a
grocer give for cutting prices9
Pure food don't go out of
style. People don't want
groceries that have been
damaged by fire or water.
The whole truth In a nutshell
is that when a grocer cut
prices he cuts quality at the
same time.
WE DON'T CUT PRICES
My stock of groceries is as
standard as gold. We give
our faithful promise to sell
nothing-not one simple
thing-unless it is absolutely
pure. Don't be humbugged.
Don't cut down your health
by eating cut-price groceries.
Our stock is a pure food
stock. Our prices are as
low as we can afford for
standard goods.

Fair Treatment for the Negro.
(PittSbOrO RecOrd.)

1t will be the pleasure. as it is the
duty, OF the Democratic party in
North Carolina TO treat the negro
fairly and Justly. The adoption of
the amendment will eliminate them
from politics. and there no longer
will be any danger Of negro DONNA
ton in any part of our good old State.
Therefore more kindly and friendly
feeling should hereafter prevail be-
tween the two races.
A brave foe is magnanimous in the
hour Of victory, and after their recent
overwhelming victory the Democrats
of North Carolina should be magnani-
nous to the negroes and deal Justly
with them. Let us prove practically
and by actual experience that the
adoption OF the amendment is best for
the colored man as we'll as for the
white man. Let us SO act and deal
with the negroes that they will them
selves admit that the amendment is
rather a blessing than a curse to
them.
And in this connection we are
pleased to note the orderly conduct
and good behavior generally of the
colored people of North Carolina
during the late exciting campaign
and since the election. Their good
behavior and quiet acquiescence in
the result of the election is in pleas
ant contrast to the conduct OF some
disappointed white men, whose only
hope for office is by and through their
votes.
