MURDER IN FRANKLIN.
One Man Dead and one Seriously
Wounded.

Roxie, Miss, Dec. %. AS the
result Of what is believed to be a
fresh outbreak of feud that start
ed last May one man is dead and
another seriously wounded.
The dead: j. G. Campbell, bet
ter known as Toad White. "
The wounded: jim Temple,
his friend and companion.
Campbell and Temple were
wayIaid by an unidentified assas-
sin last night and the head of
Campbell shot from his body.
Femple received several buokshot
through his arm.
The tvs men we're returning
froEl the home OF John Went
worth, of Mtadville, where they
had attended a Christmas enter
taiDment, and we're trapped in a
little clump of woods. The assas-
sin escaped without leaving trace
as to his identity.
Campbell, charged with killing
a young man named Grover last
May, was out on bond. Temple
was the principal witness for
Campbell in the case, and had be-
friended the accused man.
1t is believed that Campbell's
assassination is the outgrowth of
the killing of Grover.
Further trouble is expected, as
both sides have numerous friends
and relatives.

HON. HUGH v. WALL,
District AttOrney-EIeCt Of the Eighth
Circuit Court District.

With the late term Of the Lin
coin County Circuit Court, the
four-year term of Hon. j. B.
Webb as District Attorney for
the Eighth judicial District vir-
tually came to an end. On the
first Monday in January, Hon.
Hugh V. Wall, of Summit, will
take the required oath and enter
upon the discharge of the duties
of the office for the ensuing four
years as prosecuting attorney for
the State.
Mr.. Wall was born and grew tu
young manhood S estate near Gills-
burg, in Amite county, Miss, and
there attended the common school
Of the county, claiming, ultimately,
the Collegiate Institute at Gills-
burg as his Alma Mater. After
attaining his majority he entered
upon his college life, graduating
with honor and distinction in the
law department of the University
of Mississippi, at Oxford, in
June, 1902. Immediately follow
ing his graduation from this ex-
cellent school of law and training,
he engaged in the practice of law
in partnership with Hon. Glenn V.
Ratcliff at Summit, where he has
since followed his profession with
signal ability and phenomenal
success.
Mr.. Wall is a young man, but
his sagacity and experience, his
extraordinary application to bis
chosen profession; his unquestion-
ed honesty, and his burilliant
intellect have conspired to
elevate and distinguish him as one
of our most eminent and tai
g tied young attorneys. He
is recognized in South Mississippi
as practitioner Of superior tact
and force and the bar uniformly
appreciate him as formidable
adversary, wise and judieious
counsellor, in the management of
4any litigation. In the moral and
social realm no member of the le-
gal fraternity stands higher. His
polite and affable manners have
endeared him, not only to his
brethren Of the bar, but to all
with whom he has come in con-
tact; and ne enjoys the enyiable
reputation of being favorite
with all his companions and asso-
Eciates.
During last summers campaign,
though he was the last of the three
candidates for District Attorney
| to enter the race, and was a total
stranger to the voters in several
Icounties of the district, yet by bis
4 energy, force of character, ae-
lknoWledged legal ability and
moral worth, he forged rapidly to
| the front, won a place in the Sc
cond primary August 81, and
in the second defeated his leading
lapponent BY majority in the dis
Itrict Of 567 votes.
4 Those who know Mr.. Wall best
predict fol him a brilliant and
successful career in the District
Attorneys Office, and that he will
prove potent factor in yindi-
eating the majesty of the law.
