Editor County Record
Allow me space to congratulate
MIR Huggins for his sound ideas re-
garding the seed-cotton license.
While l do not feel competent either
to Judge or to make laws, | do feel
that the farmers Of williamsburg
county should have the right to Oell
their seed cotton to whomsoever
they please and the merchants TO
buy from whomsoever they can. II,
however, the farmer cannot cell his
seed cotton at will, then Why should
be be allowed the privilege Of selling
ANYTHING else which he makesf Look
out farmers, and do not be cheated
out of your rights. othervfss you
mry regret it.
Lam sorry to know that ninety
five per cent Of our people are sign
ing away their God-given rights, only
leaving fvc per cent to mourn their
loss.
II Mr. Jennings will circulate Pc
tition to dispense with the present
seed cotton license, he will certainly
be congratulated by a large majority
of the people Of our county.
So far as the liquor traffic il con-
eerned, l do not think that the seed
cotton license has anything to do
with the sale Of whiskey. At least. it
doesn't around Vox. as We are dl
good people.
Now, if Mr. jennings does cot sue
ceed in the high license petition.
trust he will take the same interest
in the no license petition which ! an
sure will be patronized a. we'll ~
highly appreciated by the people OF
Vox. Very respectfully.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
'D---'D NONSENSE
Such is Belief of Jeff
Davis
Would not stand for politicians
Hanging About His Newly Welded
Bride.

Los Angeles, Calf. oct. 21.-"I do
not believe in woman suffrage. 1t is
id nonsense"
The foreging expression emitted
from the vitrolic tongue of United
States Senator Jeff Davis, of Arkan-
sas, who arrived in this city today on
his honeymoon with his newly welded
wife.
Continuing to express himself on
things current. but nothing in partic-
ular, Senator Davis said:
II would not stand for any man to
come around my wife electioneering."
Senator Davis stated that he was in
favor of the recall and liked Presi-
dent Taft, generally, but he said
Governor Wilson Of New Jersey, can
beat President TAFT in race for the
presidency, and l. Taft receives the
republican nomination, the democrats
are sure to win the next national ell
ection."
When the senator and his wife ar
rived this morning, dun care was as
tride the senatorial brow, and anger
rcigned supreme beneath, because Mrs
Davis trunks had become lost in the
trip over the Rockies.

RAIN, NO GAME, TEAM
WANTS PICTURE Cash

Philadelphia Pa. Oct. 21.-Rain in
vertable torrents fell again today and
caused the fourth postponement of
the fourth game Of the world cham
pionship baseball series between the
New York Nationals and the Phila-
delphia Americans The next game
will be played Monday if the weather
permits.
An unpleasant mercenary tinge
has been added to the champion hip
series situation today by a squabble
that has arisen among the players re-
garding the motion pictures that have
been and are still to be taken of the
games.
The players have not received any
pay for posing for the pictures, and
this is where the trouble starts. as
the players have suddenly allowed
everything else to go unconsidered
save the amount of money that each
may get out of the series
The New York Giants nave reach
ed an understanding among tnem-
selves whereby theyeare to strike for
share Of the picture receipts. They
refuse to pose further unless they are
paid and it is likely that the Athletics
viii follow suit.

Also Shoots Son of One
Victim, and is Wounded
By Her Husband.
LYNCHING MAY FOLLOW
HALFBREED REDSKIN RESENTS
DESERTION OF MISTRESS BY
NUMBERING HER AND PROMI-
NENT LADY EMPLOYER.

Oroville, Calf, Oct. 21-With all
the cold cunning inherited from his
race and inflamed to savage brutal
ity by jealousy of his white mistress
who had deserted him, Edward Will
liams, a half-breed Indian last night
shot and instantly killed the inspira-
ton Of his outraged though crude af-
fection as well as Mrs. Lille Mullings,
aged forty years and wife of Il promi-
nent physician, and seriously wound
ed her son, william Mullings, age
nineteen years, when he attempted to
protect his mother from the deadly
fire poured into her by the enraged
redskin, who himself sustained a seri-
Gus wound from the gun OF DR.. Null
lings, who was protecting his family.
The double tragedy occurred at Moors-
town, near here last night.
The halfDreed and his white mistress
had been residing at Cascade, a small
mining camp. The woman left him
and found refuge at the Mullings
home, as a domestic.
Williams on learning where she
was, appeared at the Mullings home
and asked to see the woman. He was
refused admittance, and sneaking ar
ound the house to the kitchen, he
fired on the girl, killing her, then he
turned the weapon on Mrs. Mullings,
with the same effect, shooting tst
young son when he interfered and ex-
changed shots with DR.. Mullings, who
fired with truer aim, and probably IA
tally wounded tla DouTlgrar
Williams made his escape from the
premises after the shooting, and was
this morning found hiding in the
brush a short distance away, and suf-
fering intensely from the wound in
flicted by Doctor Mullings
He was brought to this place and
lodged in the county Jail, and there is
much excitement which it is feared
will result in lynching of the mur-
derer.

SEATTLE DETECTIVE
MURDERS SUSPECT
Scares Man; Shoots Him
For Running
Took it For Granted That Articles
Carried by Victim Had Been Stolen.
From Someone.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. Blooming
upon Frank Harris in a second hand
store as he was negotiating the sale of
cheap lace curtain, which he i'm
mediately supposed had been stolen,
Detective Blanchi, of the Seattle po-
lice force last night pulled out his
gun, ordered the man to surrender
and so badly scared him that Harris
started to run when the overzealous
sleuth fired at the running man, in
flicting a wound which resulted in the
death of Harris.
The affair has caused intense excite
ment here and much criticism of the
police department and the promiscu-
Gus use of fire arms on petty Offend
ers, which citizens are declaring came
to a climax with the murder last
night
1t is declared by mary eyewitnesses
that Harris had needed the detectives
order to halt, and was standing still
when the fatal shot was fired at him.
Blanchi in explaining the incident
stated that he guessed he had become
too excited during the race and had
lost his head. He is defended in his
action by Police Chief Bannon.
A movement has been started to
disarm police officials who can not
keep their head under exciting cir
cumstances.

Says BIG BUSINESS
WILL BACK HARMON

That Governor Judson Harmon of
Ohio will land the democratic nomi-
nation for president is the opinion of
w. l.. Thompson president of the Am
erican national bank, who returned
this morning from a visit in Portland.
According to Mr.. Thompson it is cur
rent gossip in influential circles that
the financial interests will throw their
support to Harmon so as to have a
conservative democrat in the running
in the event La Toilette should defeat
Taft for the republican nomination.
According to Mr.. Thompson Governor
Wilson of New Jersey is considered
too radical to he acceptable to those
who want a safe and sane" success
or to President Taft. Mr.. Thompson
looks for the denomination of Presi-
dent Taft by the republicans.
