who expired at the county hospital
from wound which was inflicted on
Wednesday of last week. According

was brutally shot by another negro
named George Robinson. Bad blood
existed between the two, and one day
Robinson came to his house on Myr-
tie avenue and called him out. so Nc
Rae said, and then deliberately shot
him. Robinson ran away after the
shooting, and has not been located
since. The wounded negro has fingered
for over a week, but was never thought
to have a chance of recovery. as the
bullet penetrated his intestines in FIVE
places. and passed through the kidneys.

PALMA Grateful TO FLORIDA.

The Havana Post, in writing of the
recent trip of Gov. Jennings Of Florida
and Hon. w. ]. Bryan of Nebraska to
the Cuban inaugura ton at Havana,
says: Senior Palma and Gov. Jennings
were very complimentary toward each
other. In speaking of Florida Senior
Palma seemed greatly touched. IF it
had not been for Florida. he said. Gu
ban independence would probably new
er have been realized. When other
ports, one at a time, closed against us,
Jacksonville still remained open. There
was always a little cigar store there
from which arrangements could be
made to start any expedition which
had been planned If the Spanish con-
sui had put a bomb under the little
cigar store instead of doing so much
protesting to the government he would
have accomplished more" President
Palma spoke in avery amusing vein
concerning the matter of coaling sta
tions. He said the Cubans thought
very much of Key West. and that he
thought the United States, instead of
demanding the Isle of Pines for coaling
purposes, should, on the contrary, give
Cuba the island of Key West. key
West is closer to Cuba than Florida,
anyhow" he said.

HOT POLITICS AT GAINESVILLE.


A GAINESVILLE dispatch to the At
lanta Constitution, dated May % says:
The first blood in the political campaign
in Pike county was drawn here this
afternoon, when A. A. Murphey
knocked down B. H. Hardy editor of
the Gazette, and attempted to
assault S. NJ. Howard. In to-day's is
sue of the News Gazette appeared an
article signed by S. NJ. Howard which
arraigned the record of Murphey, who
is a candidate for the Legislature. The
article charged Murphey with having
several years ago declared that he
thought negroes should serve on jures
and that, in case the jury which was
trying several white men for killing a
negro, should bring in a verdict of
mot guilty" the negroes should mob
the jury. Howard also charged that
Murphey, when a candidate for Con-
gress six years ago, entertained ne
groes in his yard This afternoon
Murphey met Hardy and after a few
words struck him to the ground.
Friends separated them. Later Muir
phey was standing near the postoffice
when Howard drove up and called for
his mail. Murphey started for the bug
gy, armed with a hickory stick. but
friends interferred and prevented trou-
BILE. Murphey and Howard are consid-
cred fearless and their friends fear Sc
rious trouble when they meet again.
Efforts are now being made to recon-
Gle the parties.
COLQUITT COUNTY'S WOOL CROP.
Moultrie Observer: The Colquitt
county wool crop. which is no insignia

Sheep shearing is in progress all over
the county. Farmers and stockmen
have taken advantage of the contin-
ued dry weather to catch up with their
farm work and are taking a few days
GA now, hunting and shearing their
sheep. A long train of wagons were
in town yesterday from Lower Col
quit; they all brought wool Fifteen
and a half cents was the price that
prevailed. This is about the same as
was received last year. Only loose
wool or remnants is being sold up to
the present. The baled wool is gem
orally held and by its being bulked
later in the season il attracts Albany
and Savannah buyers and generally
brings better prices. In the northern
part Of the county. the Normans,
Monks and others are shearing this
week. Theirs is the largest lot OF wool
in the county. Those who have finish
ed shearing report a remarkable fall
ing off IN the wool clip. Last winter
seems TO have been a bad one on sheep;
especially on lambs. There are hardly
any lambs this year and many old
sheep are missing. They were either
Killed by dogs or else the winter was
TOO long and severe for them. The an

made by President Roosevelt In
his make believe war on the Meat
Trust has assured the American
people that no hope of relief fro m
the trust evil is to be expected
from the Republican party, and the
country is turning to the Demo
Gratis, whose brave words have
raised a hope that in them was sal
walton to be found
If the Democratic party is to
make any show in the fight for the
control of the next Congress, it
must not only give out high sound
ing phrases against trusts, but it
must actually do something, per-
form some real dead assault on the
peoples arch enemy. The Louisl
ana Legislature being in session,
naturally everybody who has been
hurt by trusts looked to this Demo-
cratic Legislature to enact some
complete, all-embracing, and severe
law against every sort of trust.
There was, iii fact, nothing else
for the State Legislature to do but
to enact such a law as would stand
every test of national constitutions
atty and smite every species Of
commercial and industrial mono
poly that should dare to raise its
despotic head in this State. But if
there was any honest attempt by
the Legislature to do anything, it
ended in most pitiful and craven
failure. The General Assembly,
after being sixty days in session,
last night ended its sitting with no
antitrust bill to its credit.
The Legislature was, above all, a
Democratic body having in its keep
ing the creed and good name of the
party in Louisiana. 1t "hickered"
on this most important business of
making for itself and for the party
an antitrust record, and now, after
such lame and impotent conclusion,
it must go before the country and
seek recruits from those Republi-
cans who are Disguised with the
unmitigated trustism of their own
party and have been looking to the
Democracy. This is the pitiful
situation into which the Louisiana
Legislature has dumped the Louisi-
ana Democracy.-Picdyune.
