A KILLING At CAMP iERILl

Out in the barren hills one mile
west Of Terrill, just over the
border in Churchill county a gun
fight occurred Monday afternoon
between Louis Carraras and
George Fleisher on one side and
Bud Tertill. the f.under Of the
camp. on the other. the first two
named ar-aying themselves against
Mr.. Terill in what would seem to
be an unequal combat. When the
smoke Of the sanguinary battle
had cleared away Carraras lay
dead, while his companion had
received wound in his right side
that though not nee essarily fatal,
is serious.
From accounts reaching Fallon
it seems that mining claim To-
Gated by Mr. Terrill had been
jumped by Carraras and Fleisher,
and that Terrill had approached
the mems camp with the dea of
talking the matter over in a
friendly manner and seeking a
solution to the difficulty. N, airing
the prospect hole where both men
were working, he addressed them,
and as he did SO each stepped out
armed with a revolver, Carraras
having an automatic, and Fleisher
a 38 Colts. Carraras, in his ex-
citement, could not dislodge the
safety device on the automatic,
and was shot in the abdomen by
Mr.. Terrill, who in the meantime
had be en- shot at once by Fleisher.
The latter, as soon as Mr.. Ter
rill pointed his gun at him. turned
and ran in an effort to secure
shelter afforded by q nearby de-
preston from where he probably
aimed to wage his warfare, but
before he had run but few steps,
we'll directed shot brought him
to the ground.
The victor in the fight was
armed with an old double barreled
shotgun. and his SHELLS were filled
with birdshot. which at the close
range were nearly as effective as
huckshot would have been. Car.
raras was shot while seeking to
kill Terrill with distance of
about ten feet intervening, the
entire charge entering his body.
Fleisher was more fortunate, for
after shooting at TerriIl he put
about twenty yards between him
self and the former, and when
shot, was running at an angle, the
charge ranging from the shoulder
blade to the thigh, seventeen shot
entering the muscles of the right
arm. Some of The shot pene-
trated the lung.
Mr.. Terrill then proceeded into
camp. where he told the boys
that Carraras and Fleisher needed
attention, and though but about
20 minutes interviewed between
the conclusion of the duel and the
return of the camp followers, Car
raras was dead. his end coming
after Mr.. Terrill had left for help.

You know, or can find a boy or

on the streets. Encourage him by

not seem much to you my friend,
but it will mean a great deal to
him. Do not wait until the Septem-

them get started.
If thirty Guardians of Liberty
will get busy now, and win the con-
fidence Of the man or boy that he
puts to work, from three thousand
to five thousand of Watson's will be
sold on the streets of Washington
during the month of September. 1t

not cost you one cent; for if you
prefer you can place your order

EhI IDENTIFY it is boiling and

- ing. The Good Old Party
"got there first with it's convention,
also with it's promises. The "con-
tests were handled according ''to
Gunter.' If there is anything in the
world that political parties can do
better than another, it is make
promises. I have never yet seen a
platform that was not the very en-
bOdiment OF perfection. Full of
beautiful, golden promises to "the
poor laboring man" Very soon af-
ter the election it becomes evident
that those who are elected care as
little for ''the PLATFORM as they do
for their old WORKOUT clothes. The
thing has served the purpose for
which it was intended, and is no
longer needed. Another platform
will be provided when it is needed
and will be daisy" 1t will fit the
situation exactly.
The next thing in which political
parties are thoroughly skilled, is the
seating of the right sort of dele
gates. The Good Old Party has had
so much practice until there is but
little to be learned along that line.
It has no trouble on "the negro
question" Just as soon seat a ne
gro as anybody else, provided he has
the right sort Of political religion.
If he is not orthodox, he is out, no
difference where he halls from.
At Baltimore the negro question
was not necessary IL order to make
the occasion interesting, The thing
to do there was to make the right
sort of platform. A platform
large enough for everybody, except
Tammany, to stand on. / doubt if
this world has ever seen platform
equal to this Baltimore product.
There is q reason for it's superior
excellence. The man who figured
largely in it's composition, has made
more of them than any man in
America. He has no particular pat
tern, for they are very dissimilar.
They seem to be made to fit existing
conditions, and as these have
differed, the platforms have differed
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-08-29

correspondingly I hope the last
one will be used after the election.
The others were not.
Our Progressive Party has given
us model platform. Though new,
ana without experience, it has shown
most remarkable adaptation in
this very important matter. It's
promises are varied and numerous.
L cannot but wonder if they are
offered sincerely and whether they
would be kept sacredly. Another
striking feature about our Progress
s1ve friends is their wisdom in the
management of the negro Dues
ton" Our friends, the negroes,
are all right where they can, and
will vote right. They are all wrong,
and set of African hoodlums where
they can't vote and where their pres
ence at the ballot box would keep
others from voting right. They are
advised to be patient and wait I'M
til they have progressed sufficiently
to convince the white people of the
South that Adam was a black man
and that Eve was of the same color.
That Abel was a kinky headed coon.
That Cain was as odoriferous as he
was revengeful That the white
mans existence on this earth is an
accident. Just how long it will take
the negroes of the South to do this,
we are not told, but whenever the
task is complete, the Southern ne
gro will be acceptable at The Pro-
gressive Party's conventions. For
political morality" this proposition
is entitled to "the joke" If the
Southern negro doesn't get happy
over this it is because his political
sensibilities are of a very low order.
Talk about dealing with dedicate
problems" in statecraft. The Good
Old Party will never catch up with
its new enemy in disposing of the
negro question"
After all, how much good are
these platforms going to be? Will
these promises be kept, and if they
are, will they bring relief to those
who most need it? The people who
labor have to work as hard for
dollar as they ever did and when
they get it, it will buy less than
ever before. Will any platform, or
power that this government possess
es compel the vampire trusts, or
combinations, that are drawing the
life-blood Of the nation from it's
very heart, to disgorge or cease to
draw? Shall we succeed in forcing
the lazy negroes, and white people,
many of whom are as trifing as the
negroes, to go to work and make an
honest living? Our present condi-
ton is the result of legalized rob-
berry on the one hand and laZiness
and improVidence on the other.
Find remedy or remedies for these,
and the situation will clear up in
less time than six months I have
the remedies, but they cannot be ap-
piled. No government, so far as 1
know, has ever used them, and per-
haps, never will. I will name them
anyway. My remedy for the for
mer would be fine Of one million
dollars and sentence to the peni-
Tertiary for one hundred years. If
they behaved nicely l would be in

Not satisfied with the boycott, the

pie right from the Jeffersonian Pub

Did the boycott stop with News
