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 county, NJ. NJ.
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 started and who
Gid the shooting which resulted so
tragically will probably never be
Strengthened out. 1t is known that
bad blood has existed between the
dead m n and Henderson.
Several days ago Henders2n was
travelling the road by Mcrse's home,
Morse came cut with 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 home was
shot into some months ago at night.
Thereaf Ell 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 sen 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 bsen 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
Elge field They we're in buggy and
Morse YVES carrying his gun. It ap.
pears that they met Henderson in the
center cf the road, and that after a
few words the shooting commenced.
Just who the aggressor was can not
be ascel tained. Ole report is that
Morse was shot two or three times,
the fatal shot being fired into the ao-
doren. Hendarson'S right hand will
probably have to be amputated and
be may lose his left arm.
W. L. Hendesson, it will be recall
ed figured in the first murder trial
ever held in this county, being tried
together with his father and brother
for killing John Buzhardt. All o1
them were acquitted.

Wanted to Kill Him.

A dispatch from Valdosta, Ca,
says mob Of negroes are reported to
have fred upon the house Of E. j.
Ingram, well known regro mer-
chant OF the Tomto@n suburb. He
believes they wanted to dra" him
away fion the house and then kill

He fed through a rear window to the
woods where be dressed himself. A

VICTORY IN SIGHT.

Victory is in sight" said Mr..
Dowd, but you can say the same
thing when you see two persons sit
down to play a 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 asa game?"
the reporter asked.
mo, do not," was the emphatic
answer. 1T is more like warfare,
out the principles governing games OF
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," coptinu 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 81 cleo
toral votes struggling with a group OF
Republican States with 2lS electoral
vet S fer certain other northern and
western States with is electoral votes.
Eighteen States, if you please, against

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

Importance Of carrying the Goubtfd

REMINDER OF TIE WAR.
4 Box Of Leaden Bullets Lett by Sher-
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 bu.ied 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
neon a mill operative named Hit
found near what is called CRANKY ford
a large box eight by y 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 cut Of the
mud and found that the lid was care
fully screwed down. He procured a
screw driver and opened the bcx and
found that it was full Of old style
leaden bullets, 56 calibre, and design
ed for use in Spencer carbines and
rifles such as were used by the federal
soldiers during the Civil var. HIT re.
ported his find to Nh. W. T. Atkin-
son of the Metropolitan Life InSur-
ance company, who brought few OF
the bullets to The State office Tues
Gay. There was about IS pounds OF
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 hared open and
produced a dreadful wound about an
inch and a half in dianetar. Only a
few Of them were taken from the box
and the remainder left there as the
box vas too heavy to be carried"

BRYAN ON THE STUMP.
He Is Now Speaking to Large Crowds
in Indiana.

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 fer 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 nan for the place and that
be hoped his reputation for truth and
veracity was such that his friends
would b.lieve 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 De president
Of the United States" Mr.. Bryan said
that he used to think that be would
be president and that be would be the
Moses Of the Democratic party. But
I don't think so now,' he sais.
Moses, you know was slow Of
speech, and the Lord selected Aaron
as his spaechmaker. I believe that l
an the Aaron rather than the Moses
Of Democracy. l am willing to be the
Aaron Of the party, if cur Moses who
has been so slow of speech will but

1t is up to the south to elect Par.
ker," said a gentleman Wednesday.
Inasmuch as the gentleman is an
authorized represen tative of the Dem.
ocratic national campaign committee
the assertion called for an explana-
tion. The south's electoral votes be-
ing certainly solid fer the Democratic
ticket, it is generally considered that
no more than these votes is expected
from the south and that the election
hinges upon the votes of the "do5ut-
ful States But the gentleman
quoted proceeded to show that south
ern Democrats, having an easy thing
in their own States, must be relied
on to help carry the doubtful ccm
monwealthS.
Tae speaker was Mr.. Willis B.
Dowd, a lawyer of New York city,
who was in Columbia Wednesday on
important business for the national
Democratic committee. He is a na-
tive of 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 circum-
stances never so loudly called for ac-
tivity on the part OF people who have
the good Of the country-en1 eSpeci-
ally southern born peopls-as now.
Mr.. Dowd is a member of the Demo
cratic club OF New York and OF the
Parker Constitution club, and was one
Of the invited guests at the recent
Manhattan club reception to Judge
Parker. He, however, threw down
his personal affairs and renounced al
social and politico-social engagements
in order to do the work assigned to
him. What that work is and how
important it is, he explained to re
porter of The State Wednesday at the
Hotel Jerome.
Mr.. Dowd, with the assistance OF
the Democratic campaign handbook,
prepared the following tables:

SHlNGCE MILLS CLOSE.
All Association Mills Closed Saturday tc
Sustain Prices.

All slingle mills controlled by the In
terstate Red Cedar Shingle Association
closed down Saturday until further
orders, according to action taken Thurs.
day by majority OF the board OF
directors at meeting in Seattle. The
object is to prevent further fail in
prices by reduction in the output.
A meeting of the stockholders was
called for Seattle Saturday to consider
the general status. Sales have teen
slow for some time past, and the stock
has been accommodating until the stua-
ton threatened to become embarrassing.
On this account meeting OF the direc-
tors was called and and the shutdown
ordered.
Many leading dealers were consulted,
and all agreed to the action taken. 1t
was felt by all concerned that only by
this step could ruinous cut in prices
be avoided. Realizing that if prices
should 60 down it would be extremely
difficult to put them up again to what is
considered by the dealers figure which
will yield a fair margin OF profit, the
decision was made to stop production fol-
the present.
In accordance with this order all the
single mills on Grays Harbor have
closed down Tor three weeks.
