THE MINNESOTA state bar as
sociation goes on record in favor
Of making the Office Of the judges
of the state political Offices.
They do not want the primary
election law to apply to the nomi-
nation Of judges. We had always
supposed that the further the
bench could be removed from
politics the better for justice.
But perhaps it is not justice that
the Minnesota bar association
wants?

A SALUDA COUNTY TRAGEDY.
From Which One Man Is Dead and
Another Wounded.

a dispatch to The State from
Saluda says Monday night, 10th in
slant, near Richardsonville, in the
Northern part Of that couuty, M. M.
NJ rse was shot and instantly killed
and w. l.. Henderson was wounded
in the right hand, in the left arm and
sprinkled with shot in other parts of
the body.
Both parties were white and the
weapons used were shotguns. Just
how the affair was starred and who
did the shooting which resulted so
tragically will probably never be
Strengthened out. 1t is known that
bad blood has existed between the
dead nan and Henderson.
Several days ago Henderson was
travelling the road by Morse's home,
Morse Came out with a gun, and get
ting the drop on Henderson, it is said,
proceeded to abuse him in the most
violent manner. Morse, it will be re.
called, is the man whose hom5 was
shot into some months ago at eight.
Thereaf er Gov. Hayward offered a
reward for the capture of the parties
but nothing ever came OF it.
From wnat can be gathered the
basis OF the trouble seems to have
been OF domestic nature. A niece
of Henderson married Morse's son and
they were separated in the early part
of the year. Henderson's brother
then went for his daughter and carri-
ed her to his home. TO this action
the dead man took exception and there
mas been an almost continual row ever
since, w. l.. Henderson being even.
tually drawn into the affair.
Monday night when the killing oc.
Cured Morse and his son.in-law, Mike
DeLoach, were returning home from
Edge field. They were in buggy and
Morse was carrying his gun. 1t ap-
pears that they met Henderson in the
center Of the road, and that after a
few words the shooting commenced
Just who the aggressor was can not
be aScertained. Ole report Is tina,
Morse was shot two or three times
the fatal shot being fired into the alb
domen. HenderSons right hand viii
probably have to be amputated anC
he may lose his left arm.
w. l.. Henderson, 1t will be recall
ed, figured in the first murder tria
ever held in this county, being tried
together with his father and brother
for killing John Buzhardt. All O
them were acquitted.

VICTORY IN sIGu;r

Victory is In sight," said Mr..
DoWd, but you can say the same
thing when you see two persons sit
down to play game Of chess, with
the beard and men in full view. The
result, OF course, depends upon the
relative skill of the players"
DO you regard politics as gamer"
the reporter asked.
NO, do not," was the emphatic
answer. 1T is more like warfare.
but the principles governing games or
war apply equally in politics. Weak
ness cannot overcome strength. Lack
of organization and co operation can.
not prevail against organization, sys
tenn and efficiency. Everybody must
admit that"
The reporter admitted on behalf OF
everybody.
Well, then" continu. d Mr.. Dowd,
take another look at our figures
Here we have a group OF southern
States with 166 electoral votes, and a
group of northern States with Al elec-
toral votes struggling with a group OF
Republican States with 2l8 electoral
vctss for certain other northern and
western States with 45 electoral votes.
Eighteen States, If you please, against
y, struggling for five. You see that
the odds favor the Republicans to this
point"
The reporter saw it and didn't
like it,.
The worst is to come" continued
Mr.. Dowd, who says that he believes
in sticking to the literal truth all tho
time. I'VE see % solid Republican
States in absolute accord as to Gbt
Importance OF carrying the doubtful

elections but to win the doubtful

says mob OF negroes are reported to
have fired upon the house of E. j.
Ingram, we'll known negro mer-
chant Of the Tomtown suburb. He
believes they wanted to draw him
away from the house and then kill

the floor after the rioters dispersed.
He fled through rear window to the
woods where he dressed himself. A
dozen more shots were fired into the
house as he fled. He says that there
was a row recently in the church to
which he belonged ID some of the
members grew bitter ,.sainst him be-
cause they thought he preclpitated

ers have formed Fo Day Club" to

young man and son Of Judge o. G.
Thompson, committed suicide Monday
night at the home Of his father, five
miles south Of the city, by shooting
himself through the head with re.
volver. He occupied room alone and

member Of the family found the young
man in his bed in an unconscious con

fact that Is attributed as the cause Of
his act. He was about 81 years old

w. j. Bryan addressed an open air
meeting at Marysville, Mo-, on the
10th instant pleading for the election
OF Joseph w. Folk, Democratic can.
didate for governor of Missouri.
Touching on natural affairs he said he
believed his hearers would give him
credit for courage enough to oppose
Parker openly If he did not regard him
as the best man for the place and that
he hoped his reputation for truth and
veracity was such that his friend.
would believe him when he said he
was supporting the Democratic nomi.
nees by every means in his power.
In the afternoon OF the same day he
addressed large meeting in Elm
park. Having been introduced as the
man who will some day % president
Of the United States" Mr.. Bryan said
that he used to think that he would
be president and that he would be the
Moses Of the Democratic party. "But
don't think so now" he said.
Moses, you know was slow OF
speech, and the Lord selected Aaron
as his spaechmaker. l believe that l
am the Aaron rather than the Moses
of Democracy. am willing to be the
Aaron of the party, If cur Moses who
has been SO slow of speech will but
lead the people out OF the wilderness. .

to make tiity-two speeches. Mr.. Bry-
an, in an addr-ss at Rockville, denied d
the charge that his wishes for the
success OF the Democratic ticket this
year were not earnest. He called at

solution was defeated in the United
States senate by but one vote, anC
continuing, said: Had that resolution
passed, there would have been no wal

The speaker was Mr.. Willis B..

who was in Columbia Wednesday on
important business for the national
Democratic committee. He is a ma
tive VT North Carolina, but has lived
In New York for many years, and
while always interested in politics,
has never been specially active until
this campaign. He thinks that clrcum

MIR. Dowd is a member of the Demo

OF the invited guests at the recent
Manhattan club reception to Judge
Parker. lie, however, threw down
his personal affairs and renounced all

REMlN DER OF THE WAR.
"A Box of Leaden Bullets Left by Shcr-
mans Bummers.

Now and then some reminder Of the
Civil war is picked up in an excavation
or in other place where it has long
been buried from sight. Bullets, piec-
es of shells, fragments Of gun carriag-
es and other trophies are eagerly
treasured by the collectors. The Co.
lumbia State says on Sunday after
noon a mill operative named Hit
found near what is called CRANKY ford
d large box eight by II feet in size
lying in the mud near the river bank.
No one had ever seen the box before
for the water has never been so low as
now. Hit priced the box out of the
muo and found that the lid was care
fully screwed down. He procured a
screw driver and opened the box and
found that 1t was full Of old style
leaden bullets, So calibre, and design
ed for use in Spencer carbines and
rifles such as were used by the federal
soldiers during the Civil war. Hit re
ported his find to Mr.. w. IT. Atkin-
son Of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance company, who brought few of
the bullets to The State Office Tues

these bullets in the box, the paper
caps having rotted away from
them for some water had entered the
box despite the fact that the lid was
fastened SO tightly. 1t is thought that
these bullets must have been dropped
by Sherman'S army when fording the
river or crossing on pontoons to come
to this city in 1865. The federal forces
carried Spencer rifles. These bullets
are indented at the base and when
they left the muzzle flared open and
produced dreadful wound about an
inch and half in diametar. Only a
few OF them were taken from the box
and the remainder left there as the
box was too heavy to be carried"
