Brighton Makes a Point.
Brighton of Montgomery introduced
an amendment providing that the act
not apply to any person or com
rnittee from home that came to To-
peka to confer or advise with their
representative regarding legislation
that affects their section. The Caney
editor made a strong speech in sup
port of his amendment. The debate
on the motion continued for an hour
and was led by Buchanan and Mitchell
on the side of the amendment and
Cunningham and Stone of Shawnee
as opposed to it. Judge Buchanan

This newspaper has given con-
siderable space recently to the tenn
perance people, who favor the voting
out of the dispensary. We want it
distinctly understood that we are
not fighting the battles Of anybody,
and If the dispensary people want
space for their side of the question,
they can get it just as well as the
prohibitionists. All We ask in this
matter is that discussions be based
on reason and no flings or insinua-
tions be made at anybody, and we
say now to both sides that we will
not publish communications which
any way incline to be personal. Let
US differ decently, so that when the
election is over we will be the same
friends as before and there will be
no sore places which will take time
to heal. Our interests are identical,
and we must live together here long
after the election is thing Of the
past. Let there be temperate discus
sion, a full vote and fair count,
and, no matter what the result may
be, every true man ought to accept
the result.

cused of harboring Stevens, finally
admitted that she had hitched up a
horse and buggy and had carried him
several miles beyond Barnwell. This
was early Sunday morning.
With jaded horses and practically
worn out themselves from their all
night pursuit the members of the
searching party kept doggedly on,
confident that they were only an
hour or two behind the quarry. One
of the party, it is said, travelling in
advance of the rest, finally got with
in sight of the negro and at dis
tance of about 500 yards secured
three shots at him with a Krag-Jor-
gensen army rifle, none of which, it
is thought took effect owing to the
great distance. Urging his worn
and tired horse to greater speed in
a desperate effort to overhaul the
negro, only resulted in the animal
giving entirely out, and at this junct-
ure it was seen that without fresh
animals further pursuit was impos-
sible, the country of this section be-
ing very sparsely settled and no
horses obtainable.
The negro Stevens, it seems, has
been in trouble several times before,
upon one occasion shooting and seri-
ously wounding another negro. Upon
their return to Denmark, members of
the searching party were Informed
by several negroes that he had taken
the same general direction in bis ef-
forts to escape this time as he did

1t is pleasant to glance back at
the record of Bamberg along the
line of growth and progress for the
past few years. New buildings,
both business houses and residences,
have been erected, new enterprises
have been established, and electric
light plant has been established by
the city and water works will soon
be installed; in fact there has been
a substantial, steady growth all
along the line. Few towns in the
State have kept pace with Bamberg
for several years past. We are
keeping up the pace, too. Visitors
to the town remark on the great
growth and improvement made.

FANNING'S SLAYER KNOWN.
White Man Suspected of Being Will
Iiston Farmers Assassin.

Barnwell, June 1.-THE slayer or
slayers of Cleve Tanning, the Willis
ton farmer, who was ambushed and
instantly killed on Friday night, are
still at large. The verdict of the
coroner's jury was that "he came to
his death at the hands of unknown
parties but it is the consensus OF
opinion that there is sufficient evil
dence to cause the arrest of certain
white man whom many believe to be
the assassin.
Mr.. Tanning was heard to remark
just before leaving Williston for his
home, that he was "afraid to 90"
Bad blood has existed between him
and some parties in the neighbor-
hood, and it is thought that he was
expecting to be assassinated.
