TIGERS" HARD PRESSED.
Judge Ward of Superior Court Re-
ceives Warning.

Asheville, n. c., November 90
AS result of a crusade by the pro.
hibition element in this city against
the selling of liquor in violation Of
the State law, Wiley Black, a well
known character and ex-saloon man.
was to-day sentenced by Police Judge
Speers Reynolds to serve a term Of
two years on the county roads for
conducting resort, known as the
Riverside club" at which it was
alleged liquor was sold. The trial
consumed two days and an imposing
array of legal talent figured on both
sides. Black has appealed to the
superior court, and is now under
bond of $1,000.
Two other men, E. M. Watson and
Zach Doane, said to be associates of
Black in conducting the place, were
also convicted, but are now missing,
having forfeited their 500 bonds,
and left the city before they could
be placed under arrest.
A sensational feature of to-day's
proceedings in the superior court waa
the announcement of Judge Ward

an anonymous letter threatening hia
life if he did not desist from his vigo-
rous efforts to suppress "blind tt
gers" The judge added that he
would not be intimidated or influence
ed by the letter and would do his
full duty regardless Of threats, open
or covert.
Judge Ward has been exceedingly
severe on those brought before him
on the charge of selling liquor, and
in several instances has added an ad-
ditional penalty to the sentences Of
parties convicted in the police court
and who have appealed to the SUI
perior court.
The board of aldermen at their
last meeting took up and discussed
the "Riverside club" the resort con-

sociates, which had been reported to

and will at their meeting tomorrow
night take up the matter of the bonds
supposed to have been given by Wat
son and Doane, for their appearance
in court, which bonds, it seems, can
not now be found.
The anti-liquor people are en-
phatic in their assertion that the
city must be Cleaned up" and the
selling of liquor stopped.

WHITE MAN FATALLY WOUNDED
Ed. Kirby, of Pacolet, Shot by S. S.
Timer Last Saturday.

Ed. Kirby, of Pacolet, was shot and
perhaps fatally wounded by S. S. IT.
ner yesterday morning at Pacolet sta
tion. Kirby had not been on good
terms with Mr.. Timer for some time.
It is claimed that yesterday morning
he approached Mr.. Timer with an
open knife, cursing him and threat
ening to cut him, and that in self-de-
fense, Mr.. Timer drew his pistol and
fired, the ball entering Kirby's abdo-
men. Mr.. Timer Immediately went
to the authorities and surrendered
himself. He was brought up to Spar
tanburg aud lodged in the county
jail, where he will remain until the
matter of his bond can be arranged.
Kirby was brought to Spartanburg
by DR.. Douglass and placed in the
CITY hospital. Yesterday afternoon,
DR.. G. R. Dean, assisted by members
of the hospital staff performed an op-
Grafton on Kirby to locate the ball
and close up the wounded places in
the intestines.e They found that the
bowels had been perforated in five
or six places. The operation was a
very delicate one, and DR.. Dean per-
formed it with but little hopes of the
mans recovery. At midnight last
night Kirby was still living.
Mr.. Timer in speaking Of the shoot
ing yesterday with a Herald repre-
sentative, said: As head of the Law
and Order League, some time last
year he had prosecuted Kirby for
gambling and disorderly conduct,
and that Kirby had held i'll will
against him ever since. Yesterday
morning ne went to the station at
Pacolet to get some fruit trees which
he had received notice of their arri-
val. When he reached the station
the agent was not there, so he sat
down on a box to wait for him. In
the meantime Kirby came up and be-
gan cursing him, drawing a knife
and swearing that he would cut him.
AS he advanced on him he drew his
pistol and fired. Mr.. Timer said that
he felt as clear in his conscience as
man could feel who had acted in
self defense.
S. S. Timer is well known through
out the county. This summer be
made the race for the legislature, re-
ceiving a good vote. He is man OF
good standing in his community, and
his many friends will regret to learn
of the difficulty in which he has be-
come involved. The shooting was
done with a 3S-calibre pistol.-Spar-

LAWYERS FIGHT.
MIR. Featherstone and C.. p. Sims
Engage i'm Personal Difficulty.

The State board of canvassers had
session lasting IL hours yesterday,
and every minute of the time taken
up was interesting. Between argu-
ments by the Republicans for three
congressional seats in congress and
a dispute between Mr.. c. C. Feather
stone and, Mr.. G. P. Sims over the
dispensary situation in Laurens, the
board was kept busy.N The board dis
missed all of the protests finally, and
If the contestants wish to carry the
matter into courts they may do so.
The feature of the meeting was
the difficulty between Mr.. Feather
stone and Sims. The latter, who is
from Spartanburg, argued for the
dispensary and attempted to persuade
the State board of canvassers to re-
verse the action of the county elec-
ton board and declare the election,
which gave Laurens prohibition, lille
gal. The ground of his argument was
that no separate polling lists had
been provided for the managers of
the election and that they had not
been sworn separately. In answer
ing Mr.. Featherstone, who argued
for upholding the Laurens county
board, Mr.. Sims made several person
al references to the prohibition lead
ers of Laurens and to their prohibi-
ton views. He called those holding
the opinion fanatics and referred to
the "colonels" who attempted to con-
troll the views of other people, re-
ferring to Col. Ferguson, Col. Feath-
erstone, Col. H. Y. Simpson and
others.
Here Mr.. Featherstone interrupted
'tI have kept out of personalities in
this argument" he said to the board,
"and would ask that my friend on
the other side do likewise. Let him
stick to the record as I have done.
Sims stated that he had said moth
ing but what he thought was right,
and he would continue to- recite the
facts. If Mr.. Featherstohe did not
it the trouble could be settled on the
outside. Mr.. Featherstone said it
could be settled without delay. Then
the two got together, and when the
CuLllS DOdlu " PuAICO IAOW opoAS AhAA
Sims had two bruises, one on each
side of his face, and Mr.. Featherstone
had a slight bruise under his eye.
Both apologized afterwards to the
board, but it was the almost unani-
nous opinion of that body that Mr..
Sims had by his references provoked
the bad feeling and had made re-
marks that had caused the difficulty.
Mr.. Featherstone is a we'll known
attorney of Laurens and is consider
ed one of the State leaders of the
prohibition cause. He is held In high
esteem by all, and his motives and
character have never been question
ed. He came within $500 votes of
being governor on the prohibition
platform in 1898.
Mr.. Sims is also well known in the
upper part OF the State.-Columbla
State.

Old Negro Burned to Death.

Fort Motto, Nov. 21.-A small
clubhouse on DR.. W. W. Wolfe's place
was burned to-day. 1t was occupied
by Tom Smalls, an old negro who had
recently been placed under the care
of DR.. Wolfe for treatment. The old
negro perished in the flames. Al
though the fire was observed shortly
after it caught, it had gained suffi-
cient headway to prevent the removal
of the old man. 1t is not known how
the fire caught.

TWO OF THE JUSTICES DISSENT
ED TO THE OPINION, VIZ. Oh
WAS WRITTEN BY JUSTICE
Z CockRELL-THE CASE WAS APP.
PEALEp az THE CITY LAST
YEAR.

The supreme court of Florida has
passed upon that portion of the sa-
loon ordinance of Pensacola which re
lates to the license for saloons out
side a certain district. and holds that
the city cannot discriminate against
those saloons because of their loca-
ton. The council in passing its new
license ordinance over a year ago
stipulated that all saloons operated
within a certain district should pay
one amount for license, while those
outside that district should pay 81 ,00O
more.
The case, that OF John Zirkleback,
was first heard before Judge Wolfe
upon the complaint of Zirkleback, and
the court then declared the ordi-
nance unconstitutional, as the council
did not nave the right to discriminate
1t was then appealed to the supreme
court by the city, and the decision has
just been rendered affirming the de-
cisIon of Judge Wolfe.
The opinion was prepared by Mr..
Justice Cocixrell
A dissenting opinion was by Mr..
Justice Parkhill, in which Mr.. Justice
Hooker eoncurred. was also fled.

Roosevelt Again
Breaks Loose.

Mr.. Roosevelt seems determined to
give the distinction of special vulgar
ity to the few remaining months OF
his term in the White House by coarse
personal squabbles which he gratuit
ously seeks with newspaper men and
others on any issue which gives him
4 chance to call them liars and Sian
derer-s.
Just now he is degrading his great
once and giving full play to his abnor
NAL egotism by a vituperative contro
versy with the editors of the Indian
apolis News, the New York Sun and
the New York World over the original
Panama canal scandal in which our
government paid $4,000. 900 for -four
or i've million. dollars worth of old
junk and concessions left by de Les
seps down on the Isthmus after his
total failure to dig the canal.
Roosevelt is full of virtuogs .indigna
ton at the bare suspicion that there
was any graft in that transaction en-
gineered by the thrifty William Mel
son Cromwell and he is calling every,
body liars and scoundrels right and
left as conclusive proof of the fact
that there was no graft.

Petrolithic Paving.

7
Referring to the proposition OF the
Petrolithic Paving Co., the chairman
of the Board of Public Works, at the
suggestion of your committee, made
the following tentative proposition 10
the Petrolithic Company; That If the
Petrolfthic Company would ship Its
outfit to Pensacola as proposed IN
their letter of October 9TH and con
struct the road and the demonstration
should not be a success, the city would
pay one-half the cost of the freight
on the machinery both ways, one-half
the salary, Of the demonstration ana
one-half his railroad fare and expenses
and the entire cost of constructing
the road, the Petrolithic Company to
pay the other half of the freight, sal
airy and expenses of the demonstrator,
but of course if the demonstration
should be satisfactory to the city, the
city TO pay the entire cost of freight,
salary and expenses of the demon
strator and take the machinery as OF
fered in their proposition. The esh-
mated cost OF building the road is
about 50 900, not including the cost of
the machinery, and the freight, salary
and expenses of the demonstration,
about $500, or about $1,000 in all The
Petrolithic Company declined this
tentative proposition as per their let
ter of November 10Th herewith. Your
committee is of the opinion That if the
,Petrolithic Company. having full
knowledge of their machinery and the
character of the road that can be built
with it and yet are unwilling to risk
their judgement on the success of the
undertaking to the extent Of about
$3.50, we think il would be unwise for
the city to risk the expenditure of
about $4,000. We therefore recon-
mend that the proposition of the Pc
trolithic Company be declined, but
that the tentative proposition to that
company be made to them as a def.
