attack in a yenomous maner one OF
the justices of the peace of this
city-assailed a man who is known
by all of the people of Harrison
county as one whose integrity is
above reproach. Without the slight
est justification like viper Satur-
day it not only insinuated dishon-
esty on the part of Justice George
III. Gordon in The Edward Henry
case, but openly declared it. Had
the News attended the trial and
heard the arguments it would have
called Mr.. Henry's lawyers liars of
the worst type, for those lawyers ex-
pressed themselves in no uncertain
tones as having the most implicit
confidence in the deep integrity, fair
mindedness and good Judgment of
Justice Gordon. They laid con-
siderable stress on this estimate of
him. And now that the News takes
issue with them, one must logically
conclude that the News is under
taking to brand Mr.. Henry's law
ycrs as liars and virtually declares
they lied on that occasion, and pure
| ly for the purpose Of winning their
case. The Telegram docs them no
such injustice, for it knows they told
the truth, when they expressed them
selves in open court as having the
greatest confidence in Mr.. Gordon.
Besides, man who bears the splen-
| did reputation Justice Gordon doe=
is not deserving Of such an unwar-
rantcd attack by an assassin of char
lacter. The people of this city and
county know Justice Gordon and
they know him to be an official, who
docs his duty without fear, favor OF
affection. This attack upon him is
an outrage not only on him but upon
the entire county as well, and no
decent, upright, law-abiding citizen
should exercise the slightest patience
with the one who made it.
The people of Harrison do not in
tend to have their officials, who are
doing their duty honestly and well
as is Justice Gordon, maligned in
any such manner. They can not too
quickly show their resentment of
such a dastardly attack on court Of
ficials, and even no self-respecting
Democrat should countenance such
course.
Whether Justice Gordon erred OF
not it is not the province Of news
paper to heap upon him harsh and
harmful criticism. Such a course
instead Of maintaining and promot-
ing respect for law and the courts,
tends to destroy peace and good or
der and to encourage the lawless
and lawlessness. 1t even borders on
anarchy, and it is the most danger
Gus policy that can be pursued.
Should it ever occur again the peo-
pie themselves should use every eff
fort known to them to stop it. and
If it can then not be stopped, more
rigorous measures should be resort
ed to, even to the extent Of compeIl-
ing the preparation to realize that
his dangerous and lawless presence
i no longer welcome in Clarksburg.

ELKlNs' SPEECH.

The speech delivered by United
States Senator Stephen B. Elkins
on the railroad rate bill in Congress
arrests attention every where AMI
great significance is being attached
TO it, and especially so in his own
State, West Virginia. Owing to the
fact that Senator Elkins is the chair
man of the Senate committee that
made an investigation of the sub
Ject last summer in an exhaustive
manner and the widespread belief
that that committee was bent on
pigeon-holing the matter, the inn
preston prevailed that Senator
Elkins leaned strongly toward The
railroads and would in the end be
found lined-up against rate regula-
ton. But his speech in the SEN
ate has driven from the minds of his
constituents all suspicion OF him,
and has convinced them that great
injustice had been done him. Mr..
Elkins said in part:
q believe in the right of review
by the courts Of any order of the IN
terstate Commerce Commission af-
fecting the rights and interests Of
carriers. shippers, and localities
alike, and in the right to suspend
the order Of the commission by the
court upon a proper showing; but
this suspension to be allowed only
upon the condition that the rights
and interests Of the shipper shall be
absolutely safeguarded by requiring
deposit of money in the court pend
ing the suspension, to be paid TO the
shipper i'll case the court sustains
the order Of the commission reduc-
ing the rate. Railway corporations
are mere creatures of the law and
exist BY the will and consent of the
people and in the interests of the
people: | believe interstate carriers
should be prohibited from transact
ing any other business than carrying
freight and passengers and from do
ing any business in competition with
shippers: that they should make a
fair distribution Of cars, put in upon
reasonable terms necessary switches
and sidings TO accommodate the
needs Of shippers, and promptly
make connections and fair and just
prorating arrangements with branch
and lateral lines. The time has come
when the people demand that rail-
roads shall be law-abiding. am
in hearty accord with the President
in his position on the subject Of rate
regulation and his desire to secure
10 the people correction of all
abuses by railroads"
There certainly can no longer be
any doubt as to his position on the
subject, nor is there now ground t,
charge him with being opposed TO
rate regulation. He is even more
pronounced on the subject and gocs
farther in advocacy of such legisla-
ton than any Of the friends Of the
measure who have thus far decla1ad
themselves, and his constituency can
no longer doubt him or be su<pic-
ious of him. He has declared him
self in manner than can not be
mistaken.

HOS. KNOX ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
At U. &. 6. S. Station Saturday
Evening by Judson Wright
Died Monday Afternoon.

On Saturday evening last,
when the u. & G.. S. train came
in, from Buffalo, at 8 O'Clock,
two young white men, both of
that place, were getting off the
baggage car when this very pc
culiar accident occurred. The
two men were Judson Wright
and Thomas Knox, both between
22 and 25 years old; Wright is
married, Knox a single man.
Wright had a pistol in his hip
pocket, the barrel pointing up
ward; and as he jumped out the
car the hammer struck on the
car floor and discharged the load.
The ball passed back through
Waight's coat and up into the
body of Knox, who was still
standing in the car door. The
ball entered the lower abdomen
and ranged upward. The wound
ed man was taken to the office of
Drs. Sarratt and Terrence for
treatment, but it was seen from
the first that nothing could be
done. Sunday he was taken
back to his home in Buffalo,
where he died Monday afternoon.
He was buried at Pacolet Tues
day.
AS soon as the pistol was dis
charged, Wright ran, returning

THE HOBURN.CO .COBURNCASE.
Two Arrest Made Mrs. HOburn.
COburn.Hdryey in Rock Hill.

Lum West and Ollie Ponder,
the two young white men sus-
pected of the crime of whipping
or otherwise maltreating Mrs.
Hoburn, were last Monday ar
rested and lodged in the Spar
tanburg Jail. West gave bail
but Ponders remained in jail.
Both are of good families. The
preliminary hearing was set for
Wednesday as then the evidence
secured by detective Hilliard
will be introduced. 1t is re-
membered that he recommended
the arrest of these men, and
Magistrate Began refused to
issue the warrants.
Mrs. Hoburn, Coburn or
Harvey, whatever her name is
has been variously seen and tells
such various tales of herself,
that it is difficult to keep up
with her. A woman by the
name of Harvey has been seen
in Rock Hill and has been inter-
viewed by the correspondents of
both the State and News and
Courier. These interviews are
very unlike each other. The
woman says she left her home
because her landlord threatened
to kill her and that she was not
whipped. She is now living
with relative at Rock Hill. If
this is the right woman she will

afternoon by Deputy oller-
White, of Spartanburg, and were
given a preliminary hearing
Wednesday before Magistrate
Kirby in the court house at Spar
tanburg. Solicitor Sease ap-
peared for the prosecution and j.
A. Sawyer, Esq, represented the
, defendants. After taking the
testimony of five or six witnesses
/ the magistrate held that ne
; thought it was a case that ought
: to be investigated by the Crane
i Jury, as there was a probable
i case made out. He, therefore
;, sent the case to the session
}, court, and put the defendant
: under 5000 bond each, for thel
q appearance. The bond wa
promptly given.

A Fatal Shooting SCrape.

The row started at an ice cream
supper Saturday night at the
home Of a negro, d. l.. Smith,
living on the plantation of Mr..
S. B. Aycock. AT this ice cream
supper boy named Holly was
shot in the face by an unknown
negro, but supposed to be boy,
James keenan,.
On Sunday morning the Holly
brothers, three in number, while
under the influence of blind tiger
whiskey, came to Bethel church
to settle the matter with Keen
an. They brought their guns
and pistols and tried to get Keen
an to come out of the church.
He for some time refused to come
out, but after some time he with
number of boys came out of the
house and started up the road,
when he saw that he was about
to meet one of the Holly boys
with his gun, keenan, turned and
went back to the church yard
when the shooting began. Keen
an tried to run and get in church
but was overtaken and shot in
. the back by one of the Holly boys,
, 1t is said that the wound VIII
{ prove fatal. After Keenan had
fallen, he turned and shot Moss
, Holly in the abdomen which may
also prove fatal. Kelly Holly has
been arrested and is now in the
Union jail. At this time Keenar
5 is not doing we'll. Holly is sai(
to be improving.

prohibition. He calls for better
enforcement of law, and says if
the people elect him, he will see
that they are enforced. Mr..
Ansel has been attacked by
nearly all the other candidates
and accused of fence-straddling,
but it never ruffles him; he goes
on serenely smiling all the while
and leaves the people to Judge.
mr.. COLE L. BLEAsE,
of Newberry, the straight-out
dispensary candidate, told them
he was for State control and the
dispensary for all, and in favor
Of repeating the Brice law.
People should vote for him or
Brunson, for they were the only
straight-outs. Mr.. Blease thinks
prohibition a farce in Union.
On the stand he claimed to have
just got a good drink of North
Carolina booze" and expected
to get another before he left.
The feature of his speech was
his denial of any completely with
Lanaham in his dealings with
the dispensary. He called on
Mr.. Lyon to state if he knew the
mans name, which Lewis w.
Parker could have given before
the investigating committee.
Mr.. Lyon replied that he did not.
tits remembered that Mr.. Parker
knew the certain high official'
whom Lanahan claimed was
representing him in this State,
and it had been whispered he
was a member of the investigat-
ing committee. Blease thought
suspicion pointed his way so took
occasion to deny same, and sup
port his statement with Lyons
word and certain affidavits from
members of the old dispensary
commission, stating that he had
never recommended to them the
purchase of Lanahan's whiskey.
Mr.. Blease favors biennial ses-
sions of the legislature, the 10
hour labor law, and opposes
children under IL being allowed
to work in the mills. He opposes
higher education for negroes.
Mr.. Bicase is a strong talker and
received much applause.
