to-day directed a verdict for the plain
tits in the suit brought by Alex

s. c.. for about $1,000 difference
which they allege the plaintiffs were
required to pay for cotton, which de-
PENDANTS had contracted and failed

settlement Of any difference upon ex-
piration other than delivery of spot
cotton the contract was valid. This

tion brought in January. 1909.
The complaint in the case charged
Darlington with owing the Carolina
Agency $4,000, inasnuch. it was
alleged. that Darlington had not made
an accounting OF his treasurship in
this agency; that he owned $4,000

he had collected as premiums for the

Scotland Neck. y. c.. March A.
State Senator L. c. Travis and Rep.
resentative A. P. Kitchin, brother OF
Gov. W. W. Kitchin and Congressman
Claude Kichin Of the Second North
Carolina district and Deputy Sheriff
c. w. Dunn, all of Halifax county
were shot down on the main street OF
the town this afternoon by e. e. Pow.
ell. wealthy and prominent citizen
Travis and Kitchin are seriously
and Dunn fatally wounded.
Details of the shooting are meagre
According to the best information OBJ
tainable, Powell met his three vic.
Tins, walking along the street togeth-
er. He approached Senator Travis
1t Is said, and asked him his reason
for not replying to a letter he had
written him.
Tried to Placate Him.
Representative kitchin> thinking
that Powell was out of humor, placed
his hand gently on his shoulder and
uttered words intended to placate
him. Without further words, It ID
alleged, Powell drew a pistol and
shot Kitchin down, and in quick sue
cession fred on Travis and Dunn,
both victims falling to the ground.
Powell then walked to his store.
No effort was made to arrest him,
and tonight he surrendered to an
officer and was taken to the county
Jail at Halifax.
At Close Range.
The bullet. which struck Kitchin a,
close range. entered the race below
the eye and was later taken out be-
low the ear bp surgeons. The ball
which struck Travis knocked out sew.
eral teeth and split his tongue. Dunn
was hit below the left shoulder blade,
the bullet ranging upward.
Both Travis and Kitchin are among
the prominent citizens of the State
and Powell is a wealthy property
owner.
After midnight It is learned that
neither Kitchin or Travis was fatally
wounded. A brother Of MIR. Kitchin,
one Of the wounded men. gave the in
formation. He stated further that the
mysterious letter on which the shoot
ing hinged, was written to Travis re-
earding court case in which Kitchin
had defended Powell's 1S-year-old
son, and to which Travis had not re-
piled.
Mr.. Travis had nothing whatever
TO do with the case and the presump-
tion is that Powell looked upon Mr..
Kitchin's friendly endeavor to pacify
him either as an attack or an effort
to prevent him from carrying out his
designs upon Senator Travis. The
letter in question was written a year
ago.

.BR|STOL'S POOR
REALTY SHOWING
Trifling Fractional Increase in
Values Indicated by
Assessments.

Showing only the insignificant in
crease of one-fifteenth Of per cent
the new real estate assessment for
the city of Bristol, Va, is the most dis
appointing yet reported. It is argued
that either the city has decreased in
size and Importance since the last as.
sessment of lands In 1905, or else that
the land assessors have not done what
was expected Of them by the Legisla.
ture and the State authorities, or both.
In a meeting OF the City Council Of
Bristol, held Tuesday night, one OF the
assessors made the statement az to the
amount of assessments. Councilman
James a. Stone, who is also the State
Assessor of Mineral Lands under the
state Corporation Commission, is re-
ported as expressing his dtsappoint-
ment He believed that the city should
have made a much better showing, and
cited other cities in the State which
have demonstrated greater increase,
Low Values of Lots.
Mr.. Stone is further quoted as say
Ing that he did not think that vacant
lots held by land companies at $500
and $500 each should be assessed in
the low sum of 500 to $3.50.
The total assessment for lands and
buildings in Bristol for 1911, under the
new figures, amounts to s2.297,425. The
figures for 1909 were s2.295,910, show
Ing practically atiorary valuation.
with an increase of only sl,5l5. It Is
argued that the new buildings erected
during the year should alone have
amounted to many times the increase
given.
Such assessments as that reported
from Bristol were what brought about
the severe criticisms of the Virginia
methods of taxation during the last
legislative session, and were respon-
sible for the creation of the Tax Com.
mission, which is expected to work
out a solution of such matters.

WOULD ABOLISH SCHOOLS
DR.. Mann Objects to Capitalization In
Luncnhur- County.

Or. Z. NJ Mann. of Lunenourg coun-
ty. nephew of Governor Mann, lodged
complaint yesterday with the De-
pnrtment of public Instruction regard
ing the action of the Browns Store
District School Board in his county.
1t seems to be the intention of this
board to consolidate the primary
schools of the district so that all the
children will be required to go to
Kenbridge, where. said DR.. Mann, all
the members of the board reside.
He does not think this plan prac-
ticable, for the reason that the roads
are bad and he does not believe wagon
service would be satisfactory. The
stitution would, in his opinion. pre-
sent the alternative of several hours
Of work every morning in collecting
the pupils, or else that some of them
would be compelled to come from Oft
the main road and wait in the cold
or rain for. the wagon on the main
highway.
While the department has no juris-
diction In the matter, it will probably
he looked into.
