MORE ABOUT SHOOTING CASE.

The following letter relating to the
circumstances in the killing of John
Glvens by Capt. Joe Evans in North
ampton county last week was written
US by resident near the scene:
1--WE had very sad shooting case in
this county yesterday near Moreon Is
land, when Capt. Joe Evans shot and
instantly killed John Givens, Of Tan
gier Island. Owens and Evans had
been the best of friends until about n
year ago, since then there has been bad
blood between them. 1t seems that
Givens was claiming on Evans oyster
ground and Evans had shot at him
twice with rifle from his watch house.
Givens still continued to clam. then
Evans got in his boat and rowed within
about thirty yards of Givens and asked
him If he did not know he was clam
ming on his (Evans) ground. Givens
answered back with an oath, and was
IN the act of reaching for something in
his boat when Evans shot him dead
using double-barrel shot gun loaded
with buck shot,
Evans was arrested the following dav
and committed to Jail. He applied for
bail ard the hearing was set for Thurs
day of this week before the Commits
sioner at Eastville.

TAFT A BAD POLITICIAN.

The President summed up the thing,
which he declared had caused some OF
his advisors to characterize him as :
bad politician. In the first place. he
said, there was the tariff law and new
tariff bill always defeats a party.
In the second place had come the cor.
poration tax, bringing with it the enmi.
ty of everybody directly or indirectly
interested in the more than 400, 600 cor
porations affected by it. In the third
place, there was the "alleged'' postal
deficit which had been charged to the
carrying of magazines and periodicals
at one cents pound. That was bad
politics, because it arrayed all the mag
azines and periodicals against the adj
ministration. In the fourth place.
Congress only reduced the duty on print
paper thirty per cent, instead of put
ting it on the free list. This offended
the newspapers. And last of all. the
postal saving bank bill had turned all
the bankers against the administration.

OPENS the door to the paternal

time be embarrassed when it
desired TO similarly tax its citi-

not believe it would work equita-

facts which express his beliefs and

Cotterill says in part:
I'VE ought to have direct popular
election of United States senators,

oligarchy has denied that right.
Only in Oregon and one or two
other states is there anything re-
sembling it. In our own state we
have no voting opportunity to ascer-
tain the popular choice for senator.

give our people that direct oppor-
tunity for popular choice for sena-
tor, as they have in Oregon.

nomination without thus declaring
