SANGUINE ENCOUNTER.
Between an Irate Subscriber
and an Editor.

Floyd Wilson Attacks the Richie
Standard 0ffice at HarrisYiile and
Beats the Foreman-Got his own
Head Marked While at it-Arrested
and Fined.
J. HARRIsyILLE, w. Va, April II
This town was the scene of a sensa-
tion and sanguinary encounter, late
yesterday afternoon. A prominent
newspaper man and an irate gentle
man from the country were the main
participants in the affair which set
the whole town talking, and was the
subject for conversation, far and wide
to-day. The participants were Floyd
Wilson teacher and merchant. and
Will Heaton of the Richie Standard.
Mr.. Wilson entered the office of Mr.
Heaton and after knocking the latter
down, proceeded to debate with him
in vigorous manner. The newspa-
per man was considerably beaten up.
After Mr.. Wilson was well along in
his debate, young man by the name
lof Warman. working in the Standard
office on the floor above where the
racket was going on, rushed down
stairs and struck Wilson over the head
with the handle of saw he was hold
sing, jarring up the belligerent school
teacher and merchant, at the same
time drawing some blood from his
own hand, with the edge of the saw
which he was holding. He then ran
up stairs for re.enforcements and
when he returned with these, the in
surgent had decamped leaving his hat
and Mr.. Heaton on the floor.
The cause of the assault was a SEN
sational article 10 the Standard of
week before last charging very vicious
conduct on Mr.. Wilson and alleging
that he was attacked in his place of
business near the Calhoun county line
by a mob of masked men, and horri-
bly, mistreated. The Standard last
week contained retraction of the
part of its article relating to the scan
dalOus treatment Of Mr.. Wilson hut
that did not seem to be satisfactory
Go him.
The article that caused the trouble
was largely copied into other papers,
and has been telegraphed all over the
country. Mr.. Wilson is a member of
zone of the leading families of this
county, and has long been prominent
as teacher and business man.
Mr.. Heaton is foreman in the Office
of the Standard and has charge of
the paper in the absence of f. M.
Meats the editor, who is seriously i'll
at his home and has been incapacitated
from work for long time on account
of the bad condition of his health.
However, Mr.. Heaton was not the
author of the article which caused
the trouble and he is peaceable and
we'll disposed gentleman. A number
of people have expressed themselves
as being sorry Mr.. Wilson did not get
hold Of the real perpetrator of the at
tack on him, as that individual Is
charged with being general gossip
and Slanderer.

Rev. DR.. Buckley is reported to have
startled the New York East Methodist
Episcopal Conference by declaring that
Jamaica ginger, as an American intoxi-
cant, is rivaled only by applejack." a
conference so near TO New Jersey, once
noted for applejack, which in its best estate
was both certain and prompt in its effect,
was very properly surprised TO know that
Jerseys own had a rival. OF course,
neither the eloquent DR.. Buckley nor the
excellent members of the conference could
have other than an observers knowledge of
the effects of different intoxicants, since
the day when the clergy and deacons had
experimental knowledge to speak author
itatively of intOxicants is of the long ago
when the clergy took a short respite from
the terrors of DR.. Edwards's theology in a
social tipple. 1t is said by those who are
experts in bibulants that applejack as it is
made in the more populous communities
has ceased to be the nectar it once had re-
pute of being, and Is now a vile chemical
alien from distilled cider, and scarcely more
seductive as an irrigatOr than carbolic acid
Those ancient persons whose memory
reaches back to the days of the rebellion
can bear witness TO the hasty conclusions
of the applejack discovered in marching
through Dixie, few canteens of it being
more potent to temporarily disable soldiers
than the fire of "a ninety days regiment.
AS TO the efficacy of Jamaica ginger as an
intoxicant there can be no doubt, but il
could never be used except as a last resort
and then by those who had accumulated an
abnormal thirst by long abstinence Years
ago. in the Union army. when there was no
army canteen to moderate the thirst of the
veteran, il was discovered that Jamaica
ginger. which the Christian commission
furnished in connection with New Tesla
ments. possessed an intoxicating value to
those who hankered after alcoholic stmu-
lation, but even those who took it from the
Christian teacher to appease cramps in the
stomach and then used il as a beverage
confessed that it was anything but a drink
for the gods. swallowing it with evidence
of Tepugnance to enjoy the effect. 1t is
feared that some son of Belial has been
imposing on the excellent DR.. Buckley, who
cannot possibly speak by inspiration, as the
ancients. who have had experience, vehe-
menty affirm that neither raw applejack
nor Jamaica ginger rival chemically
treated corn juice or carbolic acid as an
American intoxicant or as a pleasure pro-
ducing irrigator

time In her history begins TO realize her
possibilities in the way OF material develop

her history she is giving genuine welcome
not only TO manufacturing capital but to
the commercial spirit which dominates all
progressive countries. In no other part of
the United States are the people showing
as intelligent recognition OF the vast posi-
bilties OF Eastern trade and as much
anxiety TO secure IL as they are In the
South. The meeting OF the Manufacturers
Club at Charlotte and the addresses de-
livered there are among the proofs of this.
Politically the South has not made as much
progress as IL should have done. but COM
mercially IL has made and Is making a
great record. There Is some reason TO be-
lieve that the next few years may bring as
great changes in political conditions in
that section of the country as the last few
years have In commercial and Industrial

invites careful study and is fruitful i'm stir

his own romance and narrates the story
of Braddocks disastrous defeat. in which
George Washington, then young colonel
