Self-defence.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Hampton, July 20.-Joe Woods was
shot and killed late yesterday a, ter
! noon at Cummings, in this county, by
| G.. c.. Owens Both men are white.
i The shooting occurred while they were
on the way firm Sand Hill church.
1t seems that both Of the men, in
company with Lee Woods, brother OF
| the deceased, ard Vincent Tuten, an
other white man, had gone to Sand
| Hill Bapts- church, at which place a
revival meeting was held, yesterday
together in a wagon furnished by Mr..
Owens and after spending the day at
The church they were returning to
Cummings, when within about two
miles O Cummings a dispute arose be-
tween the two principals ab5ut whip
ping tie mule and cursing in the pres
ence Of the wife of Mr.. Owens.
The testimony Of witnesses at the
coroners inquest, which was held to-
day, was conflicting as to which Of the
men took the initiative, one witness
claiming that Owens shot Woods with
out the slightest cause. This witness
was the brother cf the deceased. An
ot2er witness, Vincent Tuten, and the
only other one examined by the coro-
her, testified that Woods cursed Owens
and brought on the difficulty Tuten
swore that the Woods brothers at
tackled Owens and Owens shot when
he had backed against fence in a
lane, where the killing occurred The
weapon used was a 32-calibre pistol,
the bullet, only one being fired, taking
effect in the chest and cutting into
the aorta. Death was almost instan-
taneous. The coroner's jury empan-
elled at Cummings this morning
brought in a verdict that the deceased
came to his death from pistol wound
from a pistol in the hands of one G. C.
Owens.
Early this morning Mr.. Owens came
to Hampton and surrendered to De-
putty Sheriff Lightsey He has employ

ney. Alr. Warren attended the inquest

READY TO DECLARE TRUCE
Carranza Sends Message to Washington
Expressing His Willingness to
Cease.

Washington, July 20-Gen. Car
rama today informed the United
States government he was ready to
declare a suspension of hostilities
against the government of Provisional
President Carbajal, Huerta's success
sor, pending negotiations with his
representatives for the transfer of au-
thority at Mexico City to the consti-
tutionalists. The Constitutionalist
chic: cordially expressed his view to
John o. Silliman, personal represen-
tative of President Wilson, and Con-
sui General Hanna and Vice Consul
Robertson, who interviewed him at
Monterey. He expressed a willing
ness to receive the commission OF
three appointed by Provisional Presi-
dent Carbajal to discuss peace. Sec
retary Bryan announced the receipt of
u message from the American repre-
sentative with the comment that
prospects for an agreement between
the two factions now We're very fav-
orable
The impression is general here that
The negotiations Will be successful
Insists on Surrender.
Gen. Carranza is insistent, however,
that the surrender of the Carbajal
government should be unconditional.
He is willing, it is declared by his
representatives, to grant a limited
amnesty as a voluntary act of gen
erosity en- the part Of the constitu-
tonalists after they obtain the reigns
OF government. 1t is the intention OF
the constitutionalists to give guaran-
ces to the people generally, but to
prosecute those in the plot by which
MADEIRA was overthrown. Most Of the
latter already have left Mexico.
No official information mas reached
Secretary Bryan as TO whether the
Carbajal commission has left Mexico
City. Newspaper reports for several
days have said they We're en- route

The Eleven GubernatOrial Candidates
Will All Get VOtes-Gampaign
Now Half Over.

T.
Columbia. July 20-With the coun-
ty-to-county canvass Of the candidates
for State offices one-half over the
question asked every day, "wno is
leading" in the race for governor. is
Just about as hard to answer as before
the campaign opened. And hardest OF
all persons to answer this question
with any degree CT knowledge are
those Woo have followed the candi-
dates as they have gone from town to
town
Twenty-three meetings have been
held and there remain twenty-one be-
fore the canvass closes on August 90
A sigh OF relic. Was given b. many,
especially the newspaper men, wnen
the half way mark was reached and
passed.
While the lineup Of lie candidates
on tie so-caIIed Blease issue vii play
major part in the result. still all OF
the candidates Mil get vtes regard
less of factions. Each have their per-
sonal following and it is apparent that
many people of one faction will vote
for a candidate OF another faction.
This is the way matters are at pres
ent but if certain rumors which have
been floating around are true there
NAV be lineup before the election.
This is worth keeping in mind.
Four BleaSe Men.
Taere are four friends Of governor
Blease in the race to succeed him,
John 9. Richards, w c. Irby, Jr,, c..
C.. Simms and ]. B. A. Mulally. There
are six anti-Blease men also offering
for governor, R. A. Cooper, Jonn G.
Clinkscales, r. l. Manning, M. l..
Smith, L. ]. Browning. The eleventh
candidate for governor is John T.
Duncan, VINO is not allied with either
faction, but who tells the people every
where that he is running himself and
that they are getting this year where
he warned them to go two years ago,
in the middle OF the road with Dun
can.
Mr.. Duncan is holding the crowds
this wear and at every meeting he as
received close attention, and the crowd
always wants him to speak longer. He
is hitting the present State Admins
tration some heavy blows, Just as ne
hit tie Jones movement two years ago.
He IS also constantly Wading into his
opponents. On almost every stump n.
Duncan is predicting that governor
Blease is defeated and at one place
said he would not carry six counties.
He is keeping up a steady pounding
On what he calls the system and IS
undoubtedly one of the most interest
ing campaign of the year.
II He udIloI dS4CdI4l4S lh0 p0oP4N nv "
is with a large number of candidates
Of both factions offering for governor
who will be in a second race. Many
are predicting that two anti-admin-
istration men will make the second
race, while others are saying one rep
resenting the Blease side and another
the anti-Blease faction will be in the
run off. This latter is prabably the
most widely accepted view and under
all the circumstances and conditions
the most reasonable conclusion, but
there are other possibilities wortn
considering.

4 Possibility.

For instance, with six men to divide
the anti-Blease strength among isn't
it strong possibility that two Blease
men Will lead on tle first race and
make the second primary? 1t is
worthy of note that there are two
more to divide the anti-Blease vote
than there are to get the Blease vote,
in other words, four candidates Of the
Blease side of the house and six of the
opposition are running. This would
certainly be the case IL the factions
divided their vote on the strength Of
the returns two years ago. In that
race Governor Blease received over
1000 votes and Judge oJnes over &C.,
900, but, of course, there may be a
centering of the anti-administration
vote on two men While the Blease vote
will be so distributed as to keep all OF
them out Of the second race. Or it
may be the other way. You can figure

BEALL TO NIN
Democratic Nomination for
ConqresSman-at-Large

WASHINGTON, D. c., May s.
AS State Senator Gray Silver, who is
reported to be flirting with the con-
gressman-at-large nomination on the
Democratic side OF the House, babe
adieu, a.train pulled in with the Hon.
Hal Depue, of Roane county aboard.
So, on the heels Of one day confer
ence held in the offices of Senator
Chiffon with Silver came another dull
days conference in the same place
with Depue. Depue is an out-and-out
candidate. So is Wylie Beall, of
Wellsburg, and that completes the list
to date. Senator Chiffon says that he
will take no hand between the candi-
dates for this or any other nomina-
tion-and that goes for publication.
The Watson-Chilton organization,
however, will take hand in all nomi-
nations, and old-time politicians will
play that bet clear across the board
giving any odds asked. If, as is not
now expected, Beall and Depue should
be tho only candidates to enter the
convention at Parkersburg June "a,
the dopesters pick Beall to win, be-
cause the way they size it up as be-
tween the pair the Watson Chiffon
outfit will be found to be for the
Wellsburg banker at the showdown.
In the face of that discouraging sug-
gestion Depue remains both cheerful
and confident.

Many veteran fourth class post
