McLAURlN RULED OUT.

The action of the state executive
committee of South Carolina in ruling
Senator McLaurin out of the demo-
cratic party was clearly within the
province of the committee, and wa
legitimate action from party stand
point. Whether it was wise action
is another question. To many it would
seem preferable to let the people pass
on the question in the primary. His
reelection would mean popular approval
of his course. while his defeat would
be his repudiation by the democrats Of
South Carolina Had the designations
of Tillman and McLaurin been accept
ed and the race before the people have
taken place this summer, it is proba-
BILE the executive committee would have
awaited the verdict at the polls; but
as the PRIMARY goes over until next
year with session of congress inter
vening the committee has evidently
felt called on to pass upon the question
of Senator McLaurin's party fealty.

Shooting Follows a Shortage.

Special to the State.
Hagood, S. c., July 24.-Late yes
terday evening news reached here that
there had been a shooting fracas be-
tween colored persons near Rafting
Creek, in this vicinity. Charles =.
Ellerbe shot at Adam Dinkins who
was seated in his buggy. The back OF
the buggy was filed with shot. but
Dinkins was unhurt. Dinkins is
treasurer of Rafting Creek Colored
Baptist Church, and the trouble is
said to have arisen from a shortage OF
5000, which he cannot explain.
Ellerbe has been reinforced by the
arrival of his brother and Dinkins is
backed By three brothers. Both sides
seem unwilling to attack. and it is
presumed their honor is satisfied. No
further trouble is expected. All par
ties are prominent in social and re-
lieious circles.

DIR. KILG0 In A FIGHT.
Durham Correspondent Charlotte, n.
c.. Observer.

Durham Correspondent Charlotte, n.
c., Observer.
Durham, July 22.-Passengers who
came in on the morning train from
Greensboro today brought the news OF
scrap" that occurred on the train.
The parties implicated in the fight
were Dr.. John C. Kilgo, president OF
Trinity college. and Mr.. R. B. Craw-
ford, we'll known hardware mer-
chant of Winston Salem. Mr.. Craw-
ford was seen at the residence of his
fatber-in-law, Rev. Alexander Walker,
this morning and asked about the
matter. He said that during the meet
ing of college men in Greensboro some
weeks ago DR.. Kilgo, in speech
grossly insulted the good name OF his
father, Rev. L. W. Crawford. editor OF
the North Carolina Christian Advo-
cate. and he (R. B. Crawford) wrote
DR.. Kilgo, asking if his speech had
been correctly reported in the Raleigh
Post, to which Kilgo replied by refer
ring him to several persons in Greens
boro who had heard the speech. This,
Mr.. Crawford said, was far from sat-
isfactory to him and this morning as
be came down on the train from
Greensboro he happened to 60 into the
second-class car where Dr.. Kilgo was
seated and approached him in cour--
teous manner, as he was not angry and
had no idea of having a personal en-
counter, and stated to Dr.. Kllgo that
his letter was very unsatisfactory.
DR.. Kilgo said that his (Crawford's)
letter was also unsatisfactory to him.
Mr.. Crawford then said to Dr.. Kilgo
that his attack on his father in the
aforesaid speech was unwarranted and
cowardly. Kilgo retorted: You are
the biggest coward in the State, !"
whereupon Mr.. Crawford struck DR..
Kilgo and several blows were passed
before they could be separated by the
passengers. They did not hurt each
other beyond few slight bruises, and
Mr.. Crawford expressed sincere regret
over the occurrence, but felt to be
called coward was an insult which
should be resented then and there.
DR.. Kilgo was asked for a statement,
but declined to have anything to say
about the matter.
Mr.. Crawford is graduate of Trim
ity college and is we'll knwn here. He
is prominent business man in Wins
ton-SaIem, where he has resided for
several years. He also is prominent
in church circles, holding several Off
cial positions in Grace Methodist
church, of his town.
