Following is summary Of the An
derson Intel,igencer's account of the
shooting affair between the publisher
of the Intelligencer and w. ]. Muldrow
in Anderson last Saturday: Victor B.
Cheshire, publisher Of the Intelligencer
was shot three times by W. ]. Muldrow,
secretary Of the Anderson Mattress and
Spring Bed Factory, Saturday morning
in a pistol battle during the course of
which about twenty shots were ex-
changed when Mr.. Cheshire and his
brother, R. L. Cheshire, Jr., visited Mr.,
Muldrow at his office and an old feud
between the publisher and the former
magistrate was renewed. 1t was Mr..
Cheshire's avowed purpose to admins
ter a beating to Mr.. Muldrow with a
billet in the same manner that Mr..
Muldrow had done several months ago
when the magistrate and Mr.. c. E.
Tolley, then member Of city council,
came into the office Of the Intelligencer
and attacked the owner Of the paper.
The plan to administer the beating with
the billet was. however, interrupted by
the rapid fusilade of bullets that fol-
lowed Mr.. Cheshire's entrance just
within the door of Mr.. Muldrow's' Office
and as a result Mr.. Cheshire lies at the
hospital with at least one serious
wound and two other minor wounds
and ]. A. Mullinax, who happened to be
in the office of Mr.. Muldrow at the time
of the shooting, carries his right arm in
a sling, a bullet having passed through
that arm just above the wrist when he
was attempting to ward off Mr.. Null
drow. by a shot from Cheshire's gun.
Mr.. Muldrow escaped unhurt, one bull
let passing through the left lapel of his
coat and coming out the right side Of
his coat, and another passing through
his left sleeve. R. L. Cheshire, Jr., also
was uninjured, one bullet passing near
him, however, as he stood outside of
the window Of the office and fired the
contents of his pistol into the Office in
an effort to protect his brother from
Mr.. Muldrow's fire.

1t Is a splendid fight that New York
city has been making for the suprem-
acy of the law, and the victory over
both gunmen and grafters will add to
the security of life and property in the
worlds greatest metropolis. The feel
ing that was aroused by the develop
ment Of the circumstances Of the mur-
der of Gambler Rosenthal was one of
alarm that pervaded every section of
the country. The idea that officers of
the law should so boldly form a part
nership with murderers and assassins
for the purpose Of robbing that portion
of the public that did not belong to the
combination was simply horrible. If
these thugs had escaped, notwithstand-
ing their guilt, the prestige of the thugs
would have been tremendously increas-
ed, and confidence in the protection of
the law would have been diminished.
But the law has again proved its am
pie strength and the whole country has
occasion to rejoice.

While we feel quite sure that Mr.
Clarence Poe is in no sense candidate
for a position in the cabinet and while
we are equally sure that he would not
enter into a political scramble for the
position, even if he knew that there
would be success at the end of the
scramble, nevertheless we earnestly be-
lieve that he would make an ideal sec
retary of agriculture, and we are pleas
ed TO see that the Charleston News and
Courier is in pretty close accord with
us on that subject. Discussing the fit
ness of Mr.. Poe, the News and Courier
says:
There is, however, another North
Carolinian who notwithstanding his
youth, measures up we'll to what should
be expected of the occupant of this i'm
portant portfolio. We refer, OF course,
to Editor Clarence Poe of the Progress
sive Farmer, published at Raleigh. We
believe that he would do great things if
called to this particular cabinet posi-
ton. His views are sound as often as

From all we have heard of the pre

From all we have heard Of the pres
ent court house at Greenville, the coun-
ty is certainly in need of a new build
ing. A circuit judge, the late Robert
Aldrich, described the building to the
writer some time ago as one Of the
most inadequate. and dirtiest court
houses he had ever seen. Inas-
much as he had in effect told the
Greenville people about the same thing
when he held court there, he suggested
that it would be, just as we'll not to
quote him on the subject; but under
the present circumstances, this state
ment can do no harm.

Congressman Oscar w. Underwood,
speaking before the Birmingham Ad
club last Tuesday, said Of the mer-
chant marine:
For five decades our business inter-
ests have largely been confined to the
advertisement of their goods, wares
and merchandise within the four cor
ners of continental United States.
I'VE have expanded our productive
capacity in most great lines Of trade
and home markets In normal times
are gorged by overproduction and un-
natural means have been resorted to
that prices might be maintained. The
time has come when we must find
foreign markets to consume our sur
plus products or the developments In
many lines Of industry will cease.
There are many ways In which we
can expand our trade beyond the
seas, but the most important OF all is
the building up of an American mer-
chant marine that will give us direct
communication with the countries
where We wish to trade.
In the administrations Of Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe and Jackson we
encouraged the building of a mer-
chant fleet by giving discriminating
duties to American ships and then we
carried American merchandise into
all the ports of the world. The time
has come when we shall return to the
doctrine Of our Democratic fathers and
discriminate in favor Of the American
ships in order that we may find foreign
markets for our surplus products re-
lieve contested conditions at home and
give labor constant employment"
That Is the ticket; that is the way to
revise the tariff without loss Of pros
perity. America has become the great
est manufacturing country on earth;
but her outlet in foreign markets is
comparatively nothing, all for the want
of merchant marine. What the coun-
try neds above everything is the devel-
opment of its shipping interests and
this should be done at all costs, even If
it be necessary to resort to the subsidy
practices pursued by other countries.

Mr.. H. N. Singletary, of Yorkville,
and Miss Mamie Chandler, of Lake
City, were married at the home Of the
brides mother, Mrs. E. B. Turner, of
Lake City, last Sunday afternoon at
$50 o'clock. The newly married cou-
pie arrived in Yorkville on Wednesday
and for the present, Mr.. and Mrs. Sin

Glover vs. YorkviIIe.
The Yorkville high school football
team defeated the Glover high school
on the latter's grounds last Tuesday
afternoon the score being 65 to O.. The
aggressive playing of the Yorkville
team proved too much for the Clover
eleven and their light team could not
prevent the heavy line plunges Of the
proved to be the strong man Of the
game and his seventy yard run for a
touchdown was easily the feature of
the game.
Heavy Fire Loss Last Night.
A barn, corn crib, two outhouses,
four mules, several hundred bushels of
corn, quantity Of hay and roughness,
and lot Of farm machinery aggregat-
ing several thousand dollars in value,
were destroyed on the farm of DR.. A.
Y. Cartwright on the western outskirts
Of Yorkville as the result of a fire of
unknown origin last night. The fire
department responded promptly after
the alarm was turned in, but their ef-
forts were Of no avail, as the water
mains were too far away from the farm
to reach the flames. Practically no
water was to be had on the place and
as a result nothing could be done to
extinguish the flames. A number Of
people from the immediate neighbor-
hood gathered quickly after the alarm
was turned in and these rendered valu-
able service in preventing the spread
ing Of the flames to the residence of
Mr.. Hugh Caldwell, manager Of the
farm. 1t was impossible to save the
four valuable mules as the barn was
burning flercely before the fire was
discovered. The crib contained guam
tity Of corn which had been recently
gathered and this, together with other
material was completely destroyed.
The origin Of the fire Is unknown. Mr..
Caldwell, together with DR.. Cartwright
left the farm about six o'clock, after
the stock had been fed and everything
locked up for the night. Everything
appeared all right and the two gentle
men came to Yorkville for, supper and
both were in town when the alarm was
turned in about ten o'clock. One Of the
negro tenants on the place happened to
see the fire and after trying to take the
mules out Of the burning building
turned in the alarm. The exact loss Is
not known, although 1t is estimated at
several thousand dollars.

The reason the farmer amounts to
more than he ever did is because he
knows more. The reason the north
western farmer has made more pro-
gress than the south eastern farmer is
because the northwestern farmer has
had the lead in educational advantages.
But the south eastern farmer is COM
ing to the front rapidly, and he will
very probably outstrip his brother of
the north west.

But the worst was yet 70 come. that
maiden aunt, with her blsck French
poodle and poll parrot, she was just
too much, and in this character Mrs.
Alexander F. Jenkins was admirably
cast. Her makeup was faultless in
its design. and her acting splendid.
Mrs. Jenkins, herself an English
woman, fitted the character to a
nicely, and presented her claims to
the male relation in an irresistible
manner Mrs. Jenkins was one of
the best characters in the evenings
performance
The straw that broke the cancels
back. literally and figurstively, in
the play of course, was the maid-of-
allwork, who went on a strike at
this trying time when the female
poor relations swooped down upon
Horace and his wife" She, of the
maid character, was Mrs. W. o. Ste
vens, but you would never believe it.
With be-smudged face, hair in tight
braids, soiled gingham dress, slip-shod
shoes, white hose, a hat that would
give any milliner the jim-jsms, and
make the color artist go blind or send
the tears of a cross-eyed man chasing
each other down the back of his
neck, with gloves like those Eddy
Foy wears, and has made famous,
this maids get-up and makeup was
worth coming miles to see, and she
stood knock-kneed, pigeon-toed and
probably bow-legged. She twisted
and Jerked her shoulders in a man
ner that would have made a French
man writhe with disgust, or Cuban
or Spaniard swear in English. She
gesticulated wildly with those arms
where the gloves were the finish, and
she deliberately if not premeditated-
ly, tell on the stage with chatting
dish, contents and all. All this
dainty little Mrs. Stevens did to
perfection, and no born actress could
have done better. She was great, and
made a great hit, winning much APP

MEN RESIST VACCINATION.
Seamen on the Vermont Mutiny and
are Put in Irons.

Through letter to Old Point from
an enlisted man it has leaked out
that two hundred men on the battle
ship Vermont at Guantanamo, declin-
ing to submit to typhoid vaccination.
mutinied one day last week and
that the assistance of the crew of
the Minnesota had to be called upon
to assist in quelling the trouble.
All of the mutlneers were put in
irons and subsequently forced to sub
nit to the needles. of the surgeons.
ed by the Navy Department.
1t seems that when the order re-
quiring all men to submit to the ty-
phoid vaccination was posted, there
was considerable objection on the part
of number of the men of the fleet.
On the Vermont the opposition was
strong, so much so that when a few of
the holder men declined to submit,
scores joined them.
Mandatory orders from the COM
mander failed to get them in line.
Charged with mutiny and threatened
with irens, the men still declined to
permit the vaccinations to proceed,
and fully two hundred joining the pro-
testants.
The feeling that their shipmates
were more or less in sympathy with
them although they had submitted, is
the reason given for the request for
Minnesota men to arrest the mutt
neers. 1t is also said that a number
of men resisted to the last and had to
be forcibly put in irons before order
was restored

Uncooked fruits and vegetables,

that even under conditions most unfav-

ease might be transmitted through the
soil" DR.. Creel said, very seldom. if

eating places scrupulous care in pre-
pairing articles for the table is excep-
tional. -
