There is nothing to be gained by get
ting overheated in the political game.
The newspapers are going 20 give the
facts and the people who reed should
be able to Judge for themselves who
they want elected tooface. OF course
there are those who belieye that the
newspapers do not always print the
news honestly and fairly, and we be-
Ieve that there area few politicians
who assert that all newspaper editors
are liars who chance to criticise their
acts. Happily, however, it must be
said that these are in the small minor
ity. The newspapers are supposed to
represent the people in every move
that tends to uplift mankind and that
will rebound for the good of the COM
munity. They are the moalders OF
public opinion and whenever the peo-
pie fail to recognize their leadership
disaster usually follows.

KILLING AT
NORTH AUGUSTA
Geo. w. Wolfe Takes Life
of ID. w. Fulmer-Alleg-
ed Cause.

Augusta, Ga. May 24.-Geo. w.
Wolfe, former marshal Of North Au-
gusta, now a private detective, shot
and instantly killed D. w. Fulmer, a
street car motorman, at the corner of
Bluff and Clifton avenues, North Au-
gusta, tonight at 1915 o'clock. He
used a double -barreled shotgun and
death was instantaneous.
From the evidence secured from eye
witnesses, it seems that Fulmer was
sitting on the banister Of the fropt
porch with his back to the street, and
that Wolfe slipped around the house
and fired the first shot before anyone
knew he was on the place. The load
of shot grazed Fulmer's back. Fulmer
jumped up, ran in the house, secured
his pistol and returned, firing. Wolfe
ran around the corner of the house, it
is said and as Fulmer. followed him be
fred the last load in the shotgun,
which struck Fulmer over the heart,
producing death instantly. Wolfe was
shot in the left shoulder, the bullet
ranging downward, and while his
wound is dangerous, still it is not con-
sidered fatal. The shooting it is said
was because of a fancied jealousy
Wolfe had for Fulmer.
Wolfe's wife, who was separated
from him resided at the house where;
the killing occurred. She is a sister
Of the woman who lives there and she
had been separated from Wolfe for
the past Eve months on account OF al
legged non. support. Wolfe was arrested
and will be carried to Aiken tomorrow.

Progressive Lexington.

That Lexington's future is growing
bxighter every day is evidenced by the
urogress tss.at is being made on every
land. Marvelonsly the town is over
coming the recent disaster which be-
fell 80 many of our people, and which
has shook the eltire county. 1t has
been said by those in q position to
know and who have kept close watch
On events that not since sherman's
raid has such calamity struck Lex
inpton county as the failure of the
Lexington Savings Bank and w. P.
Roof. With the confidence Of the peo-
ple of all classes held tightly IN his
hand, as it were, they placed their
fands in the keeping of Mr.. Roof, and
Ia some instances the savings OF life
Hme have been swept away in the
twinkling of an eye without mo-
rent's warning of the approaching
crash.
With brave hearts, grit, persever-
ance and determination seldom dis
played by any people, our citizens are
working to reclaim, if possible, their
lost fortunes, with but little hope OF
realizing anything ont of the proceed
ines that have been instituted against
the estate of Mr.. Roof.
Here, in the town OF Lexington
there is the greatest building activity
HAT has ever been known. Improve
nents are being made on every SIDE
and the people are working together
to make the best of bad situation.
Two new bank buildings are now IN
course of construction The Home
National Bank j. commencing the
erection of a handsome structure at
cost of ten thousand dolla,s, and the
Bank of Western Carolina IS now hay
ing built q permanent and modern
home on Main street. The new build
ing of Mrs. A. D. Kaafmann is near
ing completion, and will soon be occu'
MED bv the Harmon Drug Co.. There
are many other buildings going up in
and around town.
Lexington is rot dead, neither is she
sleeping; her future Is bright and nev-
er before has she offered such q golden
opportunit. TO home-seekers.
