rgni Murder at R0beFs0RVllle.

The williamson Enterprise gave
full details CT foul murder at Rob-
ersonville last week. It said in part:
"The most cold blooded and das~
tardIy murder in the history Of Mar
tin county was committed wednesday
morning at ten o'clock vixen Robert
Robertson, a negro, deliberately shot
Charles H. Whichard, a white man.
in the latter's market house.
The negro vas hired by Whichard
to pull fodder for him en- contract,
but the negro quit before finishing
the work and demanded his pay, and
Whichard refused to pay him until
he had finished the job. From cur.
rent rumors it is gathered that the
negro told Whichard that he had to
pay him or he would kill him before
II O'Clock. The negro went off ano
secured a pistol, going back to the
market house he hung around wait
ing a chance to shoot. When every.
one, except Nhichard, had left the
market the negro shot three times
but only one ball struck him, from
that wound Mr.. Whichard died that
afternoon at three O'Clock.

READY FOR LOCALIZED PRIMARIES.

The resolutions adopted by the
Democratic Convention in Halifax
Monday and the general expression
of the people are unmistakable
proof that the people are tired
Of holding political primaries in
the old, way. From what has
been said by persons from all parts
of the county the primaries held last
week were unsatisfactory to most Of
the people, and q legalized primary
will do away with much CT the dis
satisfaction. From almost every
township went up the complaint that
the primaries were more Or less bois-
ferrous and in some places disorderly.
And from what was said at Halifax
Monday before and after the nomi-
nations were made by the conven-
ton, there was much trading" by
those who managed the uninstructed
delegations to the convention. In q
free and Democratic country like
ours and under our political prac-
tees, it is supposed that the will and
voice of the people are expressed in
conventions and elections; but there
il free comment that it is not true
in every case. Political trading al
ways gives rise to dissatisfaction
and a properly framed law giving
proper legalized primaries will b.
the means Of giving greater satisfac
ton and Of getting more nearly the
will Of the people in conventions anc
elections.

Zone day We noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed 1t on his little
hands, His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard Of the Cuticura Remedies
being SO good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass of this itch
ing disease. purchased a box of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night I took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then l dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment

every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Dom
