SERIOUS AFFRAY
TWO MEN SHOT IN A HOTEL BY
A POLICE OFFICER.
The Officer Was Called by the Pro-
prietor of the Hotel to Stop a Row

in the Hotel.
A disoatch from Asheville, N. c.,
says Paul Cameron cashier of the
Bank cf Hillsboro, N. c., and John
Hill Bunting, travelling salesman
Of Wilmington, N. c., were shot In
their room at the Gladstone hotel
of Black Mountain, II miles from
that city, about 2 o'clock Saturday
morning by Policeman F. G. Wat
kins, of that town, and are now at
the Mission Hospital. Asheville.
Bunting is expected to die from the
effects of wound in the abdomen,
while Collins, though shot under the
heart, is expected to recover.
Policeman Watkins, who came in
Saturday and surrendered to the au-
thorities of Asheville, and was plac-
ed under a $1,000 bond, pending
developments, claims that he was
called from bed by the proprietor
of the hotel, who stated that the
men were creating a disturbance In
their room, cursing and threatening
the guests Of the hotel.
When he reached the hotel, the
policeman claims that he heard the
men using the language attributed to
them, that on entering the room he
was attacked by Collins and Bunting
who upset the lamp, and that he
drew his revolver and shot in the
darkness to protect himself. Wat
kins says that he fired twice and
the men fell away from him. A
light was secured and Collins and
Bunting were seen lying on the floor
of the room, both bleeding proruse-
ly.
The wounded men are RESPONSE
BILE citizens, and of high standing in
their respective communities. Tele-
pohne messages to Black Mountain
developed many conflicting rumors
about the case. Friends from the
section where Collins lives say that
when his condition warrants it, he
will make a statement which will
throw a different light on the case.
At the Mission hospital 1t was stated
that Bunting could not recover. He
died later. The two men were drink

RATES ARE HIGHER
TAFT'S CLAIM OF DOWNWARD
REVISION is NOT TRUE.
The Testimony of Experts Contro-

that congress has revised the tariff

morning with numerous sto les to
the effect that the steamships made
race against time across the ocean
in an effort to get their cargoes
under the custom house WIRE before
the new tariff should become e1fec-
tive.
There could have been no srch
racing with downward revision. In
fact the presidents statement In
justification of his signing the new
tariff bill did not make very much
of an impression anywhere for it
is universal testimony of all the
tariff experts that the rates in the
new bill impose average duties of
nearly per cent excess or those
levied by the Dingley law.
The president in his statement ad-
mitted that the bill was not per-
feet, but he evidently had no mis-
givings as to the propriety and wis
dom Of his signing the measure. He
had no such doubts as Influenced
Former President Cleveland, who al
lowed the Wilson bill to become a
law without attaching to it his sig
nature. AS matter of fact the
new tariff bill is the first great and
distinctive feature Of the new ad-
ministration and the president will
share whatever of discredit or glory
attaches to the measure.
1t Is not contended by any one
that the new tariff measure will re-
duce prices to the consumer. The
Republican leaders are hoping that
such al era of prosperity will re-
suit from now on as to make the
public forget the failure to revise
the tariff downward, as was promis-
ed In the campaign. While hoping
for this result, there is no doubt
of the fact that the Republicans are
very much worried.
They realize that many Of the
insurgents will assist the bill in

fearful that big section Of the Re-

THE INMATES ESCAPE,
But the House Almost Wrecked by
Lightning Stroke.

A dispatch from Dillon to The
State says a serve thunder storm
passed over that section Thursday
night. The lightning struck the
home of Mr.. S. D. Jordan in the
northeastern part of the town, and
while none of the family, consisting
of Mr.. Jordan, wife, two daughters
and niece, were seriously injured,
they were all fearfully shaken up.
The bolt struck the chimney of one
room, demolishing it, tore great
hole in the roof, through the ceiling
into closet. There it seemed to d.
vide, one fork going to the right,
the other to the left between the
plastering and front weatherboard-
ing, the bolt passing to the left
travelling the hall, doing no DAM
age save to the mirror of hatracR,
and passing into the adjoining room,
where a heavy washstand was
thrown forward against table.
The full force of the explosion
expended itself on the front win
dows, the sash of which, the screen.
the frame work and Weatherboarding
around and below look az though a
bomb had exploded at that spn..
One piece of timber was d'lvan
across the room into the plaster
ing OF the opposite wall with suca
force that it was withdrawn with
considerable difficulty.
Mrs. Jordan was asleep in bed
within a few inches OF the wlHdow.
and while terribly shocked, she ~:,s
able to give the alarm to Mr.. Jor-
dan that the house was on fire, a
fierce blaze springing up the side
of the window. A pitcher of water
in the room enabled them to extin-
guish the flames before they could
make any headway.
The freakaish fluid played queer
pranks. All around, the silvered
back of the hall mirror shows the
most beautiful fern like traceries.
4 metal handle of an umbrella was
blown off and melted and the screen
window in its metal parts showed
the same effect of the great heat.
Holes were bored through the wood
and plaster, the whole presenting the
appearance of some Of the houses as
seen by the writer in Charleston

LOCKER CLUB MEN FINED.
A Police Judge Who Takes Prohi.
bition Seriously.

At Birmingham, Ala, Judge Fea-
gin of the police court plunged into
khe locker club cases with Mgor
a few days ago and did not conclude
until IS men had been brought
before him. Thirty-five cases are
still pending. In each case fine
of s100 and 80 days in jail was the
penalty imposed for violation of the
prohibition laws. All of the de-
PENDANTS made an appeal bond ex-
cept three who were placed in the
city Jail. Birmingham Friday night
was one of the dryest cities in the
United States, as a result of the eX-
pectation that the new Carmichael
prohibition bill would become law
Saturday.
Judge Feagin seems to take pro-
hibition seriously, and is determin-
ed to enforce the law. He treats
locker clubs as blind tigers.

Bloodhounds Wound Aged Man.

P. C. Butts. an aged farmer, is
said to be dying at his home near
Douglas, Ca, as the result Of a saw
age attack made upon him by two
bloodhounds owned by neighbor.
The mans neck, body and arms and
legs were lacerated by the teeth of
the animals. The aged mans cries
for help brought aid almost too late.
The dogs were finally beaten off, but
the wounds they inflicted are said to
be almost necessarily fatal, when the
farmers age is taken into account
