FIGHT OVER YOUNG MAN.
One Young Lady Shoots and Danger
ously Wounds Another.

RALEIGH, March IA special from
Asheville, N. c., gives the particulars
of a sensational shooting there last
evening of a young woman, Miss Ida
Franklin, who is well known in the
Laurel Hill section Of Buncombe
county, by Miss Parseda Shelton OF
the same locality.
It seems that the shooting is the re
suit of ennity arising between the
two former friends over the love Of 8
young man with whom both were in
fatuated.
Miss Shelton, hearing that Miss
Franklin had been talking about
her" went to the home Of the latter
with the purpose of securing per-
sonal interview about the matter.
When she appeared she was refused
admittance to the Franklin home and
the door "was slammed" in Miss
Shelton's face.
The former thereupon drew a pistol
and fired through the door, the bullet
striking Miss Franklin in the breast,
making a dangerous wound!
Miss Shelton soon crossed over the
Tennessee state line and today she is
under arrest there awaiting requisi-
tion papers to take her to Asheyille.

We have no criticism to make OF
the legislature for electing Frank B.
Gary, of Abbeville, as United States
Senator for the unexpired term Of
Senator Latimer. He cannot be of
any great benefit to the State or ma
ton in the short time Of service, and
anybody of ordinaryinte telligencec could
have filled the place equally as well.
But it must be remembered that Mr..
Garyhasbeenrepuidated by thevoters
of the State time and again, and has
always been defeated when he ran
for a State Office. His election does
not mean that he is strong through
out South Carolina, and he owes his
elevation to the fact that he was a
member of the legislature. Simply
this and nothing more. -

We cannot attempt to discuss the
course of Judge Pritchard in legal
way, but even were his action not an
unwarranted interference with the
affairs of a sovereign State, it is in
defensible on the sole ground that the
liquor men no doubt expect him to be
a great deal more lenient with them
than the dispensary commission was
disposed to be. The attorneys rep
resenting the whiskey interests evi'
dently expect fair sailing in Judge
Pritchard's court. One who is fami-
liar with the practices in dispensary
affairs in the past in this State will
not wonder at the anxiety of the
whiskey sellers to get out of the hands
of the commission. But we do not
expect to see the settlement of dis
pensary matters taken out of the
hands of the commission. The whis-
key houses who are now fighting the
commission and incidentally the State
so hard will finally have to come in
and beg for mercy.

The longer we are in the newspaper
business the more firmly do we be-
come convinced that any sort Of a
public position hampers an editor in
the discharge of his duty to his read
ers and the community. An editor
has line of duty which should be
followed, that is if his paper is to be
of fservice to it's county and State, and
he cannot do his work half so well if
he allows himself to form entangling
alliances of any kind-political or
otherwise. In other words, if you are
going to be a newspaper editor you
must be that and only that. For in
stance, the newspapers Of the State
generally have criticised as a whole
the work of the recent session of the
general assembly, while the few news
paper men who were members Of the
body defend it: r,
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1908-03-12

A. number of editors who are not
members Of the general assembly
have criticised that body rather Sc
verely as to the results of the recent
session. Other editor-legislators, or
at least some them, have defended
the acts of the body, and we have
seen no criticism of the legislature
from any newspaper man who was a
member. As the number of those
who have criticised is considerably
greater than those who have defend
ed, is it not fair to presume that
those editors who have occupied the
role of defenders would have been
critics had they not been members?

A GOOD COLLIE.

gracefully when he knows the whip

if the dog is harshly treated. If he Is
under good control in this way he can
at once be checked when he makes er-
rors in his work instead Of going on
and making things worse.
Than to come to call at once there Is
nothing more important for a useful
dog to know-to leave all else and
heed his masters call. Then teach
him to drive at the heel, keeping him
in check close by your side while you
do the driving, so that he may become
accustomed to drive at the rear or
heel. Persist in this until he gets the
habit well formed, and do not under
take to teach him to head off or turn
the stock to right or left until he Is
sure driver at the heel. Then he can
be taught easily any desired ways Of
handling the stock, only go slowly.

the impossible in turning out fully

Often q cord is used in restraining
the dog If he is overanxious to force
the stock, and in some cases it may be
necessary to continue its use until he
has given up his fault Of going to the
head. A headstrong or vicious steer
turning upon the puppy would cause
him to fight at the head and so get this
habit, for which reason we advise
avoiding such kind Of stock in the ear

chain or in a small kennel yard 1t Is
well that be should have q bit OF free

Pastor Was Black.

WHEELING, w. Va, March 1.-THE
Baptists of St. .Albans are without a
pastor: They advertised for one, re.
ceived an answer, made a contract,
and when the new leader of the flock
arrived he was of the wrong color.
Ten days after the advertisement
appeared, a letter came from St.
Louis from Rev. A. R. Stallings, who
said he was a Baptist of the old school
and could give the best of references.
He was hired, a banquet was ar
ranged in his honor, but when the ne
gro appeared both he and the COM
mittee realized they had made mis-
take. He returned on the next
train. ~

MOODY'S SLAYER TO BE HANGED.
Judge Aldrich, at Darlington, Sem
fences Negro to Die on GalIows.

DARLINGTON. March 5.-Gaddy
Graham, colored, was found guilty in
the court of general sessions to-day
on the charge of having murdered P.
Furman Moody, white, on the 18th
day of November last, and was SEN
fenced by Judge Robert Aldrich to be
hanged on Friday, the first day of
May, 1908. The trial Of the case con-
sumed ali the morning hours of the
court, and the jury after deliberating
nearly four hours, reached the YER
dict Of guilty.
P. Furman Moody, white man
SO wears of age, was out hunting, near
his home on the 18th day of, Nov
ember, and on his way home, after
the days hunt and as he was passing
the corn field of Mr.. Bright William
son, he heard some one breaking corn;
and it being too dark to see who it
was he hailed and demanded to know
who was there. The reply was
that it was Isaiah Bostick. Moody
then ordered him to come with him,
which the person agreed to do, beg
ging Moody not to shoot him. While
the person was approaching Moody,
and while Moody was off of his guard
owing to the promises made, a shot
was fired, striking Moody in the side,
and from which he died week or
ten days later. Bostick was arrested, /,
but the circumstances, etc. made it
almost certain that he had nothing to
do with the matter, and he was re-
leased. :.
Following up several clues Gaddy
Graham was arrested. He was seen
near about the place on the evening
of the killing in company with a ne
gro woman, named Minow Campbell.
She was questioned as to her know
ledge of the affair, and she told that
she and Graham were there together,
and that it was Graham that shot
Moody. She told a straightforwar
story, which was strongly corrobor-
ated by circumstances. At any rate
it satisfied the jury that beyond a
reasonable doubt Graham was guilty
as charged. Graham denied in we'll

Railroad Commission VIII Allow Short
j Lines to Charge Three Cents.

COLUMBIA, March 5.-The railroad
commission has been in session since
Tuesday morning hearing arguments
from the thirty different railroads do
ing business in this State as to pas
senger rates. The Southern system,
the Atlantic Coast Line, the Charles
ton and Western Carolina and the
Blue Ridge Railroads will after April
I, operate a % cent fare, flat rate,
with mileage books as has been here
in before reported.
An important decision was to-day
rendered in relation to the Blue Ridge
Railroad. The commission decided
that the Blue Ridge Railroad was
part of the Southern system and,
therefore, must operate the same
mileage. -,
Nineteen short lines were heard
from. The commission has decided
to allow these short lines to operate
the same rate as now prescribed by
law, viz, 3 cents per mile these are
independent railroads and make q
very poor showing before the COM
mission.
The Seaboard Air Line and the Co
lambia, Newberry and Laurens have
asked the commission to allow them
to operate the local Scent rate on
condition that they put in all mileage
books that are set forth in the orders
to the Southern, Atlantic Coast Line,
etc This has been taken under
advisement by the commission and
they expect to investigate the matter
thoroughly and after the investigao
ton make their report and deliver
their order in the matter.

The Merino sheep industry in Yer

to an exchange, While by no means
approaching the palmy days Of thirty
years ago. the industry is reviving. and
each year for decade past has shown

bine scale with large degree Of quail
ity. We concede that as you go east
there will be found rather more quail

opinion, more than offsets this superior
quality. Men who are breeding hogs
and feeding them out for the meat
market are calling for stretchy hogs,
and the fine stock breeders Of Nebras-
ka are Just wise enough to satisfy this
demand. No doubt the remarkable
scale that is found In Nebraska hogs Is
to some extent the result of the free
