bloody affair took place near Hud-
son In Caldwell county, about If
teen miles from here yesterday.
AS result one man lies MORALLY
wounded and two others are suffer.
ing from injuries mo.e or less
serious.
The origin Of the trouble was the
published account Of Miss Abbott's
lecture In Cincinnati, severely re.
hectiDg Upon the people Of Hudson
and vicinity, where she had been
conducting a mission school. She
met a warm reception upon her re.
turn this fall and threats 10 drive
her out were freely INDUCED. J. F,
Bollineer, at whose house she board
ed, took part. He summoned rein
forcements from Hickory and yes
terday a party of five left here In
surry for BOllinger's home.
During the afternoon genera
fight occurred between dozen men
lid by one Lingles and Bollinger'i
party, In which the latter got thu
worst Of 1t. John Martin, Q bricl
mason, who lives In East Hickory
was shot between the shoulders, tint
bullet lodging In his backbone. J
F. Bollinger and John Bollinge
were also wounded, the forme
severely, the latter slightly. Th
lower part of Martins body Is para
lyzed and his chances for recover.
are slight.
Bollinger's party claims that the,
were fired On without warning. Tn
Lin sles say that Bollinger's crow
began the attack and that Marti
fell, shot by his own men before tn
Lingles opened fire. 1t is Difficult
TO learn the truth. NOinfOrmatiO
; has been received as to the casualtie
in the Lingles party.

Col. Park Agnew, of Alexandria,
who came over to Washington yes
terday expressed his opinion OF
Virginia politics:
ave are putting up candidates
for Congress in every district Tor
Congress in every district" OBJ
served Col. Agnew, the acknoWl-
edged head of the Republican party |

have a Republican running In every
Congressional district except one.
NV idea is that we onght to have
candidates whom Republicans can
vote for, even If there he not more
than ten Republicans in given dis
trjct, OF course there are good
many more than that, but every
man who wants to vote the Repub-
Ucau ticket ought to have a chance.
Thus we will build our party up In
Virginia"
Col. Agnew had been talking
with Col. Mosby, who has long been
Republican and an otfieeholder,
and is now writing letters decrylng
the agitation of the negro question.
..Tbere is a lot of nonsense obon'
the negro agitation, added Coi
Aguew, "If the Democrats should
come in, Parker would appoint 10
of negroes to office. The Dehh'
Gratis cater to the negro vote wher'
they need it. Why, Grover Cle'e
land appointed three negro post
masters in Virginia and never
word was said about 1t. But Wae'
the Republicans name a negro pos
master in the South there Is gfea
cutlery. An industrious, peacelt
negro is a very useful citizen. :"

are the best labOIers we ever MAJ
In fact, We cannot get along wit

Col. Agnew says the election

paign," he declared. MANY
them seem to persist In believi
that there is no campaign on. In
Just keep going ahead about IN
business and pay no attention
politics. Apparently Parker arou
no enthusiasm among the Den
cratic voters Of the State, ana
leaders take 1t for granted I

Then Fame, with an electric shock,
Gave to my door a seeming knock;
But l still welded was to art,
And let my lofty guest depart.

A SAD DEATH.

Our people were saddened Sunday
morning TO learn OF the death of Mas
ter CapcrS Etheredge, youngest son of
Mr.. Uriah Etheredge. He had gone
out in the country about ten miles
with his elder brother to the home Of
his uncle, Mr.. CaperS f. Etheredge,
and Saturday night the two. with two
others, went into the woods with their
dogs tohunt oppoSSumS. 1t was about
eight O'Clock when they found Il tree
in which they thought there was an
oppoSSum. After the tree was almost
hewn down, Mr.. Thomas Etheredge
warned his younger brother To get up
and so far out of reach Of the tree, but
instead he ran in front of the falling
tree and was instantly crushed to
death. Cupers had the lantern and all
the light was eXtinguiShed. After
searching in the pockets Of his coat
which was few steps away under a
tree, Mr.. Thomas Etheredgc found
matches and went to look for his
brother whom he found crushed to
death under the tree. He never spoke
nor groaned but, died prehapS without
even knowing what had struck him.
The remains were brought to his
fathers home Sunday afternoon and
early Monday morning at his home the
funeral services were held, after which
the body was inferred in the town
cemetery.
He was thirteen years Old and a
bright, obcdicnt, and promising youth
The family have the sympathy Of the
entire community in tLcir sore hc-

Prot. Major and all the teachers to
