NEGRO MAN. AND.
WIFE WERE
SHOT
Some One Fired Upon Them
From Ambush AS They
Returned from
Church.

"A report reached the city last night
by telephone from Escambia to the
effect that negro named Jim Wig
gins and his wife had been fired upon
from ambush by unknown parties,
and that the woman had received
wounds from which it is feared she
would die.
1t was stated that Virgins and his
wife had been attending church and
were returning home early in the
night. They hs> Just entered their
yard when some one secreted in the
bustes nearby fired a charge from a
shotgun at one or both, and the !wO-
man received wounds from which it
is feared she will die. While the
man was wounded, his injuries were
reported as not being as serious as
those of the woman.
The telephone message was receiv-
ed at the, county Jail, and it was sta.
ted that the party firing the shot had
not been captured nor was anyone
suspected. Chief Deputy Sanders left
at once for the place to make an In
vestigation.

PEACH AND PEAR

BLOOM
The Peculiar Circumstance
Is Attributed to
The Storm.

Peach and pear trees In number
of places adjacent to Pensacola are
in full bloom, and although winter is
approaching the orchards resemble
the spring of the year. This peculiar
condition of affairs has been noticed
for several days past in various Sec
tons, but how far from Pensacola
has not-been ascertained.
Some attribute the blooming of the
trees to the hurricane, but how the
wind blowing at one hundred miles
an hour could cause this frea> Of ma

LOVES THE CONSTITUTION.

William A. Morgan, Braytonsms representa-
tive from Providence in the state senate. made
an address before the Pioneer club in the Bangan
building at noon on Saturday. that tor fabbness
and faulty has not been paraeled III the present
campaign.
Mr. Morgan is a great admirer OF the present
constitution and resents the charge that it is anti
quated by directing attention to the fact that it IS
only 90 years old. He has discovered that 1t is
not because it permits suppression Of representa-
tive government and the establishment OF govern
ment by a corrupt oligarchy that the people are
opposed to it, but because "it doesn't allow them
to get the Offices
Obviously Mr. Morgans abiding veneration
for the constitution is due to the fact that when
Braytonism's puppets of which he is one, get
into office the constitution makes it exceedingly
difficult for the people to get them out His be-
lief is purely partisan and personal and therefore
worthless.
About the only semblance OF sanity he be
trayed during his diatribe was when he put this
question: when the Democrats accuse MS ot sell
ing legislation. is it not reasonable that they
should be asked to put their fingers on something
specihc?"
That is just what the Democrats have been
doing every day since this campaign opened. has
Senator Morgan never heard of chapter $50 OF the
public laws of Rhode Island, mendaciously en-
titled An Act Providing for Tax on Street
Railways|
That law was ammed through supinc leg
islature by the boss and sold by him to the trac-
ton corporation 1t is the law under which the
traction corporation makes claim TO perpetual
franchises in the public thoroughfares, because ot
the provision OF the law that it shallnot be altered
or amended without the consent OF the corpora
tion itself
There are others the Democrats have put their
fingers on but it is unnecessary 10 call them to
the attention OF such an uncompromising partisan
as Mr. Morgan.
.ftrnt,st- have -heen that Mr.. Morgans remarks
didn't satisfy the chairman who presided at the
meeting any more than they did open minded
citizens for Inc announced there would be more
interesting" speakers at the later meetings.
Let us hope so, and more truthful.

malice will steel the hearts of the hosts Of civic
righteousness and bring every citizen whose
manhood cannot be bought by Braytonisms filthy
money to the standard of reform and decency.
Every citizen loyal to the state and determined
10 rescue it from the clutches of malodorous
Braytonism and the blackguardly crew it has en-
listed in its gnoble service realizes that there is
one way, and one way only, TO compass the defeat
of the infamous plot to steal the election in this
city.
Let every honest man thrust aside, in the face
of tremendous danger, any purpose he may have
formed to vote split ticket and mark his ballot
as a straight ballot for the Democracy.
Let every in this city who abhors politi-
cal chicane, who detests corruption and repro
bates dishonesty, put cross in the circle under
the and then deposit his ballot.
This is no time TO quibble no time TO stand
by personal preferences. The great and overshad-
owing purpose ought to be the defeat of the most
devilish conspiracy against the honesty and sane
tity of the ballot ever hatched in any state in the
Union.
it will be defeated. Honesty is the birthright OF
the citizens of this city and state. 1t is theirs by
heritage, by instinct and by habit, and that in
grained honesty will lead them on the 9th OF the
coming month TO cast aside all party ties all in
dividual predictions and all questions of party
success and to make their ballots securely effect
i've by marking them in the circle under the star.
This is the way the only sure way, to MAKE
certain that ballots for the candidates of the
people will not be manipulated and ountedagainst
the peoples candidates by the cunning and crafty
crooks Braytonsm has put in charge of the cleo
ton machinery.
To destroy Braytonism to cast out its iniqui-
ties forever the ballots of the honest citizenship
of Providence are absolutely necessary
See to it then that you mark your ballot in the
circle under the star, that you will be certain
it cannot be doctored or dshgured in the interest
of Braytonism in it's latest attempt to steal the
election by putting notorious political blacklegs
and brigands in charge of the election machinery.

FOOTBALL ACCIDENTS.

The unfortunate accident at Syra-
cuse on Saturday, when one spectator
was killed and score or more were
injured by the falling OF stand at the
football game between Syracuse uni
versity and Colgate university. Us an
occurrence to which football managers
all over the country would do well TO
give heed We may assume the exist
ence OF a desire on their part to avoid
negligently exposing spectators to dan
ger and death. and there may also he
a legal liability for damages which II
would be wise TO avoid.
The falling OF the stand at Syracuse
appears to have been due 20 the rotting
away OF the timhers which constituted
it's support. This decay rendered the
structure too weak To sustain the
weight OF the number Of persons who
were admitted TO the seats upon IT, The
only person killed was the Rev. Chris
topher T. Donigan whose back was
broken by his fall.

the fact that death should have come 10
