county has another killing to it's credit.
On Sunday morning Henry Langley
shot and fatally wounded Reubin
White, a negro. News reached Wilson
early Sunday morning that there had
been a negro killed near the home of
Mr.. Wiley Dew, about five miles from
the city. Sheriff Sharpe and Coroner
Ruffin went at once to the scene of the
killing. A jury was empanneled and
the shooting was investigated.
1t appears from the evidence that on
Saturday night Reuben White was near
the house of William Langley, when
he was bitten by the latters dog.
White, being drunk, was very bolster
Gus and threatened to kill the dog.
Langley's son came from the house
about this time and told White that if
he hurt the dog he would fill him full
of shot.
After quarrel, which had no serious
results, White went to the adjoining
farm, where they We're curing tobacco
and told Mr.. Geo. Dew that the Lang
legs had imposed on him and that at
the first opportunity he intended to
settle the affair, or die in the attempt
On Sunday morning White came out
of his house, which was near the home
of Langley and found the father, VIII
liam Langley, standing in the lane near
his house. The quarrel of the evening
before was resumed. William Langley
said that it was not his dog that did
the biting, whereupon White called
him a liar and drew his knife. Lang
ley picked up a stick, which was near,
and was trying to defend himself when
his son, seeing his fathers danger,
drew his pistol and shot the negro dead.
The Langley family claimed that the
shooting was done by the father and
not the son. They say it was done as
a last resort and in self defense. But
the evidence of those who saw the trou-
BILE does not bear out this claim. Every
witness examined says that the son,
Henry Langley, did the shooting. After
careful consideration of all the evil
dence submitted the jury rendered
verdict that Reuben White came to his
death by a pistol shot in the hands
of the son, Henry Langley. Sheriff
Sharpe, acting on this verdict, put
young Langley under arrest and
brought him to Wilson, where he was
placed in Jail to await the preliminary
trial. which will be held as soon as the
witnesses can be gotten together.
The negro population near the scene
of the trouble is very much wrought
up and more trouble may be expected.

A WAR OF DESTRUCTION.

The war Of devastation in South Afri-
ca is still continued, and the towns in
the war swept regions are much dam
aged by military operations. War is a
terrible thing and the loss of life is
appalling. Yet it is nothing compared
to the destruction that is going on
every day by stomach, liver and bowel
disorders. The number of victims to
constipation, biliousness, dyspepsia, in
digestion and malaria outnumber those
of war by many thousands. There is
no reason for this when Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters will cure the above
ailments without fail. 1t has been the
standard medicine Of the world for over
fifty years and it's merit has been
fully proven. When in need of medi-
cine of this kind, do not fail to give the
Bitters a trial.
