The tragedy occurred at $50 O'Clock
this evening two miles west of Shelby
and just across the river. Mr.. Ran

dren an outing, Immediately turned
back to Shelby and picking up the
sheriff and a physician returned to the
scene with them. Whittier had been
instantly killed. His pistol, a % cali
Der Smith & Wesson, lay near his
body. The sheriff at once notified the
coroner and the inquest is in progress
tonight.
Mr.. Randall, who is a native of
Cleveland county, made the trip into
North Carolina today in his Overland
car on a visit to- relatives. Late this
afternoon he started out to take some
young relatives for a ride. Just across
the river the automobile party met
Whittier in his buggy driving a mule.
The farmer stopped his buggy and
alighting approached the machine with
a drawn pistol, announcing to Mr..
Randall that he intended killing him.
Mr.. Randall reasoned with Whittier
and tried to dissuade him, it is said.
and finally, as the farmer continued TO
approach reiterating his threat, Mr..
Ranadll reached under the seat, drew
his w weapon and shot Whittier
twice, killing him instantly. One bull
let took effect in the head and the
other entered the mouth. Mr.. Randall
then retraced his way to Shelby. sur
rendered to that officer, and took him,
with a physician, to the scene of the
tragedy.
In addition to the pistol, which lay
near the body, there was found on the
dead mans person $75 in cash and a
partially-emptied flash of whiskey.

to the invasion of the horseless We
h1cle has been outspoken and O

other known cause for his action in

EVERYBODY is TALF
ABOUT THE ST. LOUIS RI.
PUBLIC

And indeed there is something to
talk about. Where there's smoke
there's fire. Things are happening
at The Republic. Its new editor,
Horatio w. Seymour, has his own
ideas about making newspaper.
And Republic readers seem to
think they are pretty good ideas,
too. They are tickled with the
crisp, spicy little paragraphs of
editorial comment which appear
each day; they are delighted with
the good, sound, militant Demo
cracy-old- fashioned, Jefersonian
Democracy-and the merciless ex'
posure of Republican fallacies and
mlsrule; they are laughing over the
caricatures and funmaking cartoons;
they are interested in the stories of
strange, novel things that happen
in everyday life and recognize the
superior manner in which the news
in general is given; they are pleased
with the new dress the Republic is
wearing-clearer type and more
open lines.
The enlarged size of The Repub-
lie; its enlarged staff of writers, its
enlarged facilities for obtaining and
printing the news and the liveliest
and best editorial page in the Mis-
sissippi valley are making The st.
Louis Republic the most talkedof,
the most interesting and the cheap
est newspaper, value considered, to
be had by the residents of Missouri
and contiguous territory.
Sample copies will be cheerfully
sent upon receipt of your name and

AMERICAN LOVES HONESTY

Don't say there is no hope. says the
Sovereign Visitor.
Don't groan and shake your head
solemnly, and point out this horrible
example. that man gone wrong. this
woman turned frivolous or reckless.
Go to the show!
Attend the widest Of lurid melo-
dramas. CHI Sc a play with the weak
est company you can find. Select an
opera house where the admission~Drice
Is low.
Then watch the applause that is CIV
en- the poor hero.
Listen to the kissing reception that
Is accorded the villain-no matter how
rich or handsome he may be.
Hear the gallery and the full-dress
circle applaud with mouth and hands
and feet when the poor hero gives his
all to save the erring girl.
Observe the dub actor receive thun-
derous applause when he forsakes al
else to stand by his dear old mother
whose heart Is made glad by the dis
play of manly qualities.
Join in person and in spirit. Be OF
an American audience of common peo
pie, and your chest will swell will
pride, and you will never more wish
caste.
Mr.. American Citizen loves honest
fair play, as is proven by his actions
at the village. town or city oper;

FORTUNES FOR THE FISHES

The Ward Line steamer Merida, it
seems, contributed the better part OF
a million dollars to the irretrievable
wealth of Davy James locker When
the American mail steamer Admiral
Farragut smashed the Merida amid
ships. the Ward Liner went down in
2l0 feet of water off Cape Charles. with
s750.000 of Mexican silver and $4,000
of gold in her hold. The precious met :
ais are gone for good and all. owing to
the fact that the depth is many faith
oms beyond the safety diving limit.
Currents and tides may bring it within
reach of human hands again, but there
Is not much prospect of that.

PLAY SUNDAY BALL

Baseball is the sport that Americans
love better than any other form of out
door sport. 1t is the acknowledged
king of all games. 1t holds its king
ship not by any self-declared right to
rule, but by the only right recognized
by free people-the consent of the gov
erned.
The crowds that always attend the
games played on the home diamond
demonstrate the fact that the people of
Jacksonville are willing. faithful and
enthusiastic subjects
The managers of the South Atlantic
League are furnishing a first-class ar
ticle of ball. The eight teams compos-
ing the leagues are all good teams,
that play clean games and are pretty
evenly matched.
The Sunday games always draw the
largest crowds. This is because the
people who work hard six days in the
week have time on Sunday TO attend
the games.

A MAIL ORDER "BARGAIN,

Women are natural born bargain"
hunters and their pursuit of the elusive
bargain sometimes gets them into
peck OF trouble. The experience Of a
woman who bought a sewing machine
from a mail order house in Chicago is a
case IN point.
This Is her story:
ct wanted a new sewing machine and
seeing one advertised in a mail order
catalog for only $13, I was very much
interested. According to the picture
and description, this particular sewing
machine was a paragon Of perfection.
SO went down town. bought money
order for $13 and sent for the machine
/ could hardly walt to see my bar
gain and finally / got notice from the
railroad company that the machine had
arrived. Mucn to my surprise there was
a bill for freight charges.
II had expected the company to pay
the freight, but on referring to the
catalog, found that they made nc
promises on that score. So / went
down to the freight office. paid the
freight and hired a drayman to bring
the machine from the depot. The dray-
man must have stopped at every saloOr
on the way out. He drove so fast thai
he Jared the machine off the back enc
Of the wagon and broke it.
"I wrote to the company about it ant
they sent some extra parts to replace
the ones that had been broken. I hat
the machine fixed up, but it has neve
been satisfactory. Takes all m!
strength to run 1t and it doesn't begin
to do as good work as my old one.
have since found out that could hav'
purchased a better machine right her
in town for less money and saved al
the trouble and extra expense thi
mail order machine has cost me. II
never risk buying bargains from
mail order house again. One exper
fence is enough for me-"
