Woonsocket Herald: lT Mitchell is
not trying to mix the capital light
with the coming political campaign,
it was most unfortunate that the
press dispatch was sent out from
Mitchell to the effect that the leaders
OF the republican party had had d
meeting at Mitchell and decided to
run Frank Morris for governor to de-
feat the aspirations OF Coe |. Craw-
ford. The wish may have been father
OF the thought. in the Mitchell at
mosphere, but there is absolutely no
truth in the statement. This article
referred to the movement as coming
from what it terms 1.-The machine
The Aberdeen News we'll says that
the only "machine''in the republican
party in this state consists of about
tifty-tive thousand republican voters.
The capital referendum should be
Kept where it belongs. as a side issue.
We are at a loss to know what leads
Brer. Reed to give publicity to a
matter Of which he has grave doubts
as to its truth. In the first place we
do not know of a press dispatch be-
ing sent out OF this city at any time
recently concerning the meeting Of
the republican leaders in this city,
and we read III daily exchanges
pretty thoroughly, too. During the
corn palace doubtless the republican
Leaders did meet in Mitchell and
talked over matters and there was
nothing wrong in that, but it seems
a matter Of assumption or the part
Of somebody to charge 50 much
against the gentlemen who were here.
Simply because these gentlemen met
here does not indicate that the city
Of Mitchell is mixing up in the po-
lltical situation. not any more than
if they had met at some other point.
During the corn palace week there
were also quite a number of Pierre
enthusiasts holding conferences in
Mitchell, but it does not. necessarily
follow that Mitchell was in any way
connected with their meetings or
stood responsible for what they were
doing.

GarretSon News: In discussing
the capital question it will be well
to consider it from more than one
standpoint. In all probability the
contest next year will settle the
question for all time. Every voter
should ask himself the question
Will the place for which l am voting
be the best location for the capital
after the state is we'll developed:
TO be a good place for the capital a
town should be a good railroad cen
ter. At the present time Sioux
Falls comes nearer being the idea
location for the capital than any
other town in the State-because it
is most easily reached by all the peo-
pie. AS Sioux Falls is not in the field
for capital honors. the question Of
accessibility must be settled between
the two cities that are. The geo
graphical location is Of small import.

Shooting Scrape in Anderson.

A shooting sorape occurred at the
Townsend Twine Mill early last night
which will likely result in the death of
Will Solesbee, young white man en-
ployed at the mill. Claude Ellis, another
young white man whose home is at
Denver, was also shot, but mis- wound is
not serious.
The story of the shooting, as could be
gathered last night, is a rather compli-
Gated one. Solesbee, it appears, got in q
quarrel with young man named Ham
had Hammond's knife and would not
give it back to him. Lonnie Ellis took
Hammond's side in the quarrel and un-
dertook to make Solesbee return the
knife. Itseems that he took Hammond g
pistol and started a quarrel of his own
with Solesbee. Then Claude Ellis, q
younger brother of Lonnie's, came in and
tried to separate his brother and Soles-
bee. Lonnie Ellis drew his pistol and
fired. Solesbee ducked and the ball
struck Claude Ellis in the thigh, passing
entirely through the leg and inficting q
painful flesh wound.
Lonnie Ellis fired again, and this time
the ball struck Solesbee in the breast
just under the heart, inflicting wound
which it is thought will prove fatal. DIR.
j. o. Sanders was calling on a patient
nearby ana was summoned and gave all
the attention possible. Solesbee was
still living at a late hour last night, but
the chances for his recovery were con-
sidered very slight. He was at his home
at the Twine Mill village.
Ellis walked to house nearby, and his
wound was also dressed by DIR. Sanders,
but, as stated, he was not seriously hurt.
Lonnie Ellis fed Immediately after the
shooting and had not been heard from
up to midnight. Deputy Sheriff Emer-
son reached the scene of the shooting
soon after the occurrence.
The home of the Ellis boys is near
Denver. 1t is said that they have good
regulations and are not known to have
been in any trouble before.-Anderson

A Fatal Accident.

By reason Of distressing acciden.
which terminated fatally about 2. 80 p. q.
yesterday, the home of Mr.. NJ. L. Alex
ander, on Washington street, has been
filed with q deep gloom. Ennis, the
thirteen year old son of Mr.. and Mrs,
Alexander, with his young sister, were
playing yesterday morning, about seven
O'Clock, in the barn on Mr.. Alexander's
lot. The little fellow must have at
tempted to climb up into the loft, which
is about eight feet above the floor, to get
hold of wheelbarrow which was in the
loft. In the effort he must have slipped
and fell to the floor, striking his left
temple and causing injuries from which
he never rallied. He fingered until about
$50 p. m. when death eventuaSed.
Ennis was always an active child, eager
to climb, and it was but year or two
ago that he had an arm broken while
trying to climb in the same barn. There
is an added intensity to her suffering in
the fact that his sorely stricken mother
Is alone In her trial, as Mr.. Alexander is
away in the West-Greenvlle Noun
taineer.
Mr.. Alexander returned to Greenville
Monday morning and the funeral services
were held Monday afternoon at o. 'clock.
In this hour of deep sorrow and aff1iction
Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander have the sympa-
thy of many friends in Walhalla and
throughout Oconee county, where they
are we'll known and universally liked.

tit to remove from our midst Bro. Lam

dan this conference has lost one of its
most earnest and diligent officers, the
church faithful and devoted member.
the State worthy, patriotic citizen, and
society modest Christian gentleman.
Second. That we cherish his memory
In our hearts. strive to emulate his shin
ing virtues, whether in prosperity or ad-
versity, in doing or in suffering, and
commend the lesson of his life, so con-
sistently taught by both precept and
example, to all who may come after him.
Third. That we deplore his death and
deeply sympathize with the members of
his bereaved household.
Fourth. That page in our minutes be
dedicated to his memory.

The Services In the WaIhaIIa Baptist Church.

The series of meetings, which were in
progress throughout last week at the
Walhalla Baptist church, came to a close
on. Sunday night last, according to ap-
pointment. The preaching was done en-
tirely by Rev. M. p. Matheny, of Green
vile, s. c., and those who were fortunate
enough to hear him day after day were
deeply impressed by the forcibfe and
convincing arguments 80 masterfully
presented. The sermons were principally
fundamental and doctrinal, rather than
evangelical, and from time to time great
and important truths were revealed by
simple and beautiful illustrations. The
attendance at night was good. The
Lords name has again been magnified in
Walhalla and much good will result
therefrom.
