CUTTING IN
WARD TWO
R. B. WATSON CUT BY z. A.
ALBRITTON.
EnIinuT nvEp HkTGHET
FOUGHT OVER HATGHET
Both are Prominent Citizens
Of Ward Two and the Un-
fortunate Affair is Depiord.

Mr.. r. B. Watson received
severe wounds from knife in the
hands of Mr.. E. 4. Albritton
during a difficulty between them
selves Wednesday morning, the
trouble occurring on the farm of
Mr.. j. E. Curry at Curry post
Office in ward two.
They were at a log-rolling on
Mr.. Curry's place and a dispute
arose between the men, something
about a hatchet. 1t went from
one word to another when they
finally hitched up to fight. De-
tails are meagre at this time, only
one side of the affair up to date
and it is not known which one is
to be blamed for the trouble.
But it is certain that Mr.. Watson
is seriously wounded and Mr..
Albritton has a charge of attempt
to murder lodged against him.
The wounded mau is cut in two
places, a very ugly but not dan
gerous cut on the left arm just
below the shoulder joint. and q
severe stab between the ribs on
the right side. The knife pene-
trated to the hollow and the
lwound is considered dangerous.
DR.. ]. j. Peters of Winnfielc
was called to the wounded mar
and he says the wound in the
fright side is the only dangerous
one, and it is not likely to prove
| fatal.
Both of the participants in thi'
unfortunate affair are proni
nent citizens of that section ant
among the best people of the par
Iish.

New Orleans, Feb. 17.-1he
Republican state convention,
composed of what is known as the
lily white element, adopted a
platform and nominated full
state ticket here today. Every
parish in the state was repre-
sented, but there were no negro
delegates.
Four of the seven men nomi-
mated are Confederate veterans,
showing the plan to play for the
disaffected Jastremski vote of the
recent Democratic primary.
Frank B. Williams, chairman
of the state committee, called the
convention to order. Judge Tay-
lor Beattie was made chairman.
The platform adopted is devot-
ed largely to state affairs and en-
braces an arraignment of the pol
lltics of the Democratic party.
The supremacy of the Caucasian
race is maintained. The conyen-
ton heartily endorsed the ad-
lminstration of president Roose-
lyelt, and more specifically with
reference to his course in the
matter Of the Panama canal.
| To the presidents nomination
and reelection the convention
pledged its support. Appro-
pirate resolutions were adopted
lon the death of Senator Hanna
and a state central committee to
manage the state and national
campaign was provided for. The
ticket nominated is as follows.

of prices today. but the undeFtone was
firm and there was little. pressure to
sell, simply a cessation of the recent
large buying in different quarters OF
the list. The settlement Of the incident
of the Russian seizures in the Red

little ground for uneasiness. It is
