Circuit Court,

Some time ago letter was circulated
and signed by most of the Macon bar
requesting that suggested postpone
ment of the July circuit court be re-
fused by the Judge. Yesterday a num-
erously signed petition was sent to
Judge Cochran by the business men
and farmers in and around Macon, ask
ing his Honor not to postpone, but to
pretermit the July term of court. This
request was based on the condition of
the crops in the county which would de-
mand, all and undivided, the attention
of the farmers, so that to be forced to
leave their farms and attend at court
would seriously inconvenience and
damage them. 1t is not known what
course Judge Cochran will take.

KILLING IN WINSTON.
Jack Ferguson Shoots and Kills Marcus
Pace at Church Near PerkinsviIle

Jack Ferguson Shoots and Kills Marcus
Pace at Church Near Perkinsville.
Editor of The Beacon-
The circumstances of the killing of
Marcus Pace by Jack Ferguson on
Sunday morning last, from the best in
formation we can gather are as follows:
Pace and man named Dempsey drove
up to the church. short distance west
of Perkinsvile about ten O'Clock.
AS soon as Face got out of his buggy he
asked Dempsey to hold his horse, and
advanced on Ferguson, at the same
time changing the end of the whip.
Ferguson backed off and Pace followed
though Ferguson warned him that if he
followed he would kill him. When
Pace got in striking distance and had
the whip raised to strike, Ferguson
drew his pistol and fired, the first sht "
entering the lower part Of the right
breast and ranged downward to the left
hip. The second shot entered one side
and passed through the entire body
A third shot was fired, but Pace had
gotten close enough to knock Fer
guson's arm up. DR.. Jackson from Ma
shulaville, DR.. Kirk from Fearn Springs
and two doctors from Louisville at
tended the wounded man and performed
an operation, but without any relief.
HE died about shutdown at the
church.
The cause Of the trouble was over
a woman and dates back several years.
Pace was much stronger and a larger
man than Ferguson and has driven the
latter from any public meeting at
which he happened to meet him. On
July 4th last Ferguson was knocked
down and badly beaten up by Pace.
The shooting was not unlocked for.
Pace was a nephew of Prof.
Pace who was for a number Of years

Remember that there is a decided
difference between hard times and
business recession. There Is nothing
in present conditions to make any
body apprehensive.
Several months ago." he continued,
dropping ito railroad parlance, "the
lights showed red to me and it looked
like a recession in business. Wall
street maintained the opinion that the
lights showed green and that meant
that everything ahead was clear.
THE red lights are still ahead and
that means that we ought to go slow.
The recession that has set in is not
formidable, but business has been Of
fected. About 95 per cent Of the coun-
try's business is done on credit. This
credit is impaired and that Is the chief
trouble.
"As said months ago the depres-
sion will affect the luxuries of life,
such as automobiles and diamonds.
Fewer of them will be sold, but the
great necessaries of life-wheat, coal,
iron and lumber-will continue to be
