PLACED IN PROPER LIGHT"
The Shooting of Lieutenant Deem by
Lieutenant PPitchard Thought to
Have Been an Accident.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer.)
Washington, d. c., Dec. 5.-In Oc-
tober many North Carolinians were
shocked by the cabled reports from
Manila, Philippine Islands, telling of
the shooting of Second Lieutenant +.
l.. Deem, of Texas. by Second Lieuten-
ant w. d. Pritchard, of North Caro-
lima At the time the reports were
received we were led to believe that
the shooting grew out of a quarrel be-
tween the two officers and that while
momentarily insane Lieutenant Pritch-
ard killed his brother officer.
In the annual report of General
Adna r. Chafee formerly head of
the department of the Philippines, L
find this explanation of the unfortun-
ate occurrence which places the mat
ter in it's proper light and there is
also a strong denial of other charges
made against the dead North CAROLYN
ian at the time of the shooting.
LAS yet" says the report, mo real
cause has been shown for the shooting
but / wish to include a denial of a
statement wired to many papers that
Lieutenant Pritchard had been drink
ing heavily and that he had tried to
provoke an alteration with Lieuten-
ant Deem. These reports were abSo-
lutte falsehoOds and are denied on the
authority Of First Lieutenant c. A..
Romeyn, Thirteenth Cavalry. The
two officers lived and messed" to-
gether and were close friends.
1.-The bullet which killed Lieut. Deem
entered on the right side of the head,
slightly forward from the ear as if
he was shot while standing or sitting
with the side of his head towards
Lieut. Pritchard when the latter fired.
Lieut.. Pritchard shot himself through
the heart.
Because the shot which killed
Lieut. Deem entered his head from be-
hind, it is believed by many officers
in the cavalry that the revolver in the
hands of Lieut.. Pritchard was dis
CHARGED by accident, and that he. in
a moment of remorse at what he re-
earded as his own terrible careless
ness, turned the weapon upon him
self.
when the shooting took place. the
officers were alone in their rooms, and
those attracted by the reports of the
revolver found both dead, lying side
by side"
1t would be eminently unfair to
have a false impression created and
leave the stamp of such charge as
was made at the time of the death
of Lieut.. Deem ana the suicide of Lieut..
Pritchard, when the War Department
through its commanding officer makes
known what it considers the real facts
in regard to the matter.
A copy of the Times of October 20.
four days after the death of the two
officers, tells of the inquest held in
Manila and the preparations that were
then being made to send the remains
back to the States on a TRANSPORT. The
Times in its article also sustains the
view of the Chaffee report that the
killing of Lieut.. Deem was accidental
and that shocked and grieved by his
unfortunate carelessness Pritchard
took his own life.

Wilmington Messenger.
If the legislature which meets in
January does not do something to corr
rect the divorce evil the preachers will
want to know the reason why. We
must say, though. that had all the
preachers of the State been as careful
as they should in the performance of

whom had a divorced wife or husband
living there would not now be such an
cutlery against the existing evil. All
the blame is not on the legislators.

WILL COTTON GO UP?

eyes, but you know cotton is a

That was the remark of an eminent
Georgian to a company of the wisest
cotton men in Georgia who presented
strong reasons to prove that cotton
must go up in price. The u,nexpect-
ed happens so often in cotton that the
what cotton will do would find his
calculations correct except for the
fact tht cotton is a id fool
Every farmer in the South who has
not sold all his cotton is anxious to
know whether cotton will take an up
ward tendency. The answer to that
question, according to j. H. Parker &
Co, largely depends upon the farmers
themselves That cotton firm says:
eff the great mass of information
sent here from the South to the effect
that the producers and merchants
would not market on further decline
could be relied on we would have lit
tie hesitation in expressing the belief
that bottom prices were about
reached but, owing to the uncertainty
of the holders of spot cotton in the
South an opinion as to the immediate
course of prices is of little value
If farmers rush their remaining
crop of cotton on the market at pre-
vailing prices, of course there viii be
no raise in the price. Spinners and
exporters would show no sense 1T all
to pay higher prices if they can buy
all they need at the present price.
