NEGRO KILLED HERE
 THIS MORNING
Found Dead in Rear of Grif-
 hth's Livery Barn-Shot in
 Back of Head With Large Calibre Revolver.

Jnn Sutton, a negro who lived about 10 miles east of Prescott, was f)u ld dead about nine o'clock this morning m stall at GriHth's Livery barr with a bullet hole in the back of his neck. No clue has yet been found that will give the officers the least hint as to the person or persons that committed the deed.
 Sutton and negro woman, sup- posed to be his wife or sister. put up theic wagon and team at the barn Monday evening and nothing more was seen of either party until Sut- tors body was found this morning, the woman as vel not having been located.
 The weapon used was believed to have been a A calibre revolver; the physicians probing into the wound To- cated the bullet imbedded in the left jaw. It had entered the back of the neck completely severing the spinal column at the base of the brain.
 Sutton seems to have had q rather bad reputation among his race and at one time some months ago he and another negro in his neighborhood had little trouble over some hogs but the other negro is believed to have left the country in1mediatel after this. The motive was evidently not robbery, as check for $S4.00, $700 in greenbacks and $l.15 in silver was found on Sutton's person.

 It was my privilege to know him and be honored with his friendship for more than fifty years, and l voice the sentiment of all who knew him, m stating that a good man has gone to his reward.
 For he knew in whom he believed, and was persuaded that He was able to keep that which he had committed unto Him against that day" He is: Gone from this world, it's cares and
 strife,
 Gone from dear ones beloved during
 life;
 Gone to the home of the ransomed

 Gone to Saviour whose fullness is

HUGHES IA INVAD-
 ING TENNESSEE
Republican Nominee is Speaking in Territory Never Before Wis ited By Republican Candidate --IS For Arbitration.

Nashville, Sept 4.-Charles E. Hughes, in territory which no Repub. lican presidential nominee has ever visited before, tonight faced tumul- tuous audience in tn auditorium. With cheers for Woodrow Wilson ringing in his ears, heclled by questioners, and halted often by democratic sym pathizers, the nominee delivered his speech criticising the administration, declaring for a protective tariff, and in a reference which the audience took to apply the enactment of the Adamson bill, asserting he stood firmly for the arbitration of all in- Idustrial disputes, said:
 "I believe there is no grievance with respect to labor that cannot be settled by a fair examination of the facts. We have in the past had to deal frequently with the objection of employees to the principle of arbitra- tion. Some times they have refused to arbitrate disputes. Public opinion has been against them, believe, and l stand here firmly for the principle of arbitration for all industrial dis putes and, I would not surrender it to anybody in the country.
 "Now then, stand for two things: First, for the principle of fair, impar- tial, sterile, candid arbitration, and second, for legislation on facts accord ing to the necessities of the case, and I am opposed to being dictated to either in the executive department or in congress, by any power on earth before the facts are known and in the absence of the facts"
 The audience which had interrupted Mir. Hughes repeatedly in the early portion of his speech to cheer for Woodrow Wilson, heard the declarat- ion in silence and, at it's conclusion, applauded him as enthusiastically as it had heckled him.
