Col AL Fairbrother, whose npIitics
no man knoweth, enters into the re-
publican fractional fight this week with
gloves of and deals out the following
summary Of the situation, which Is
well worth the reading:
Ii does not require much OF a phil
osopaer 10 understand that the fac
tioaal fight OF the republican party -
now On good and hard. Rollins, who
has shown no ability as a leader, at
ter declaring that he would not re
sign. or, Al least after being quoted
as saying that ne would not resign,
finally pulled III and insisted that he
would no longer serve. He said he
wanted harmony and got out of tn.
way. That was all right-but the
question comes up, wasn't i; better 10
retire voluntarily than 10 be defeated
IN open convention-and Just as sure
as a gun is iron Rollins would have
been defeated If he had ever tried ID
stem the tide. The rank and file OF
the republican party has long ago ex-
pressed itself of being everlastIngly
opposed 10 the leadership Of Marion
Butler, who is so obnoxious TO many
republicans and democrats alike He
is playing his big bluf-but Butler has
about played his last card. His politi-
cal demise was long ago recorded. lie
ven 10 Washington and set out his
camp fires and has succeeded in max
ing some people believe that he Is
still a power III the pine woods OF
North Carolina-but that is Buffers
pipe dream. There is no real reason
for him taking himself as seriously a.
that. The new crowd will show its
hand in the state convention, aud If
Blackburn doesn't weaken-if he
makes good, he will control the 0 n
vention. And if he does Judge Adams,
who came in reluctantly to take Roll
Inns seat as chairman until the con
ventiOn meets, will also be retired.
Adams is allied with the Butler lac
ton. He may have no use for Butler
but he is connected with Buffers news
paper-and that will not do for the
crowd known as the Harris crowd; the
Blackburn crowd; the Bradshaw crowd
in fact, the party opposed TO Butler
ism and what it implies.
So there will be a mix for fair. 1t
is our opinion, viewed from this dis
lance, that Blackburn will win. Many
I men and some shrewd wire-puilers

to be with him in this new deal. The

new party, or 1t can do much for its
harm. We are a~nxiOusly awaiting its

MULATTO WOMAN KILLED
In Robson by Her White Paramour.
looks Like Deliberate Murder-He
Declares 1t Was Accidental.

Luke Smith, white, is in Jail here
charged with the killing of Nan Dunn,
a mulatto woman, at Red Banks, this
county, Sunday morning.
Smith bears a very unSavOry repu-
tation. He has frequently been before
the courts for retailing and other cases.
About two years ago he had a case in.
court which was settled with the un-
derstanding that he take up his resi-
dence in some other state. This he did
not do. He has been living with this
Dunn woman for some time, claiming
they had been married.
Saturday night, Smith, who was at
work at McColl, came to Maxton ac-
companied by one Mr.. Lockley. During
a short stay in MaxtOn ne showed four
pistols to some acquaintance. After
this he and Mr.. Lockley hired a team
to take them to the Dunn woman's
home, about 7 miles from Maxton.
When they arrived they found Jim
Oxendine, a Croatan there.
Smith asked the woman for a private
conversation. She refused this. He
then asked Oxendine to leave for a few
minutes and he refused. The woman
was seated on a chair. At the refusals,
Smith shot her with a pistol, the ball
entering between the nose and right
e!-. Death was instantaneous. Her
BODY never fell from the chair, but "a
in natural position except that the
head was slightly tilted back.
Smith left after the shooting. Mr..
Lockley remained until the coroner
held the inquest and dismissed him.
When seen in the Jail by a represent
alive of The R~obesonian this (Monday)
morning. Smith talked of the affair
without hesitation. He did not seem
greatly worried over the situation and
said that just SO he got out Of it with
out hanging, he would be satisfied.
Smith claims that while handling the
revolver it was accidentally discharg-
ed. The ball. he knew, went in the di-
rection of the woman, but he did not
Know it struck her. He thought the
ball went over her head. He explains
his leaving as soon as the pistol fired
by saying he was afraid of Oxendine.
He went on by Red Banks and arrived
in the afternoon at McColl, S. c.,
where he was arrested.
He says he would not have killed
the woman for anything in the world;
that they were on the best of terms and
he had no reason for shooting her-The

Declares That the Ecclesiastical Court
That Tried Him on Heresy Charge
Was Illegally Organized-Appeals
From Decision on Every Point.

Rochester, n. Y, June 6.-The Rev.
Algernon S. Cropsey, rector of st. An
drews' church, Of this city, who vas
found guilty of heresy after a trial by
an ecclesiastical court at Batavia last
month, today filed an appeal from the
findings of the court. Writings on
tanned in DR.. Crapsey's book Religion
and Politics. constituted the basis of
the charges against the clergyman,
which alleged denial in certain beliefs
and doctrines of the church., as set
forth in the Apostles and Nicene
creeds.
DR.. Crapsey appeals from the courts
decision On every point. He contends
hat the court was Illegally and un-
fairly organized, that it erred in re-
fusing to allow him proper time for
the preparation of his defense, and
that by it's decision undertook to deter
mine questions OF doctrine, faith and
worship. The appeal continues in part
as follows:
"It was the duty of the court to de-
termine whether Or not I was guilty
of the charges set forth in the pre-
sentiment also to state in their de-
ciSion the sentence which in their
opinion ought to be pronounced, and
the court erred in refusing to receive
evidence offered in my behalf to show
tina. according to the doctrine Of this
church and also separately, according
to the common practice and under
standing Of its clergy and of the
church, the statements made by me
complained of in the presentment were
within my liberty, duty and right to
make.
