FATAL SHOOTING AT
LOWER BELLTOWN
Bob Simpson Dies by the Hand of
John Holloway Over Very
TRIBAL Remark.

Last Friday evening, at Lower Belltowr,
Bob Simpson was shot and almost instantly
killed by John Holloway.
The trouble started over a few testing
words and the shooting was wholly injusti-
fable.
Holloway made for the mountains as
soon as possible and it was not until Sat
urday that Deputy Sheriff Mason got wind
of where he was. He located him in a
cabin, however, and went right in, where
he found the man in bed.
Handwriting the prisoner he started for
Copperhill, when he met two brothers of
the prisoner Hating them before they
got to him, he demanded to know is they
intended giving him any trouble. They
denied having any such intention and he
was allowed to go on with his prisoner.
His trial was held before Squire Tippett
at Copperhill, Runday evening, and he was
bound over to circuit court without bail.
Deputy Sheriff Masen took him to Ben
ton Monday.

Blow softly, wind, blow softly,
Where stricken summer lies,
The blood red fever on her brow,
And in her glowing eyes
The last fair, lingering, golden ray

Where stricken JOY lies low,
The palsied winter in his breast,
And on his brow the snow
Dear Joy. that fell beside the way

OF MASSES
Editor News:

LAAiOl ANIWos
have read the article appear
ing in your paper last weak. rel
ative to the race for Circuit Judge
for the Eighteenth Judicial Cir
cult. From this, and other ar
ticles heretofore given out by
Judge Lynch, it appears that he
is inclined to boast of two things:
First. That he is the candi-
date of the lawyers.
Second. That am not poll
tical candidate.
In answer to these claims, l
desire to say that while | have
the kindliest feelings for the law
yers of the District, and | shall
always extend to them from the
Bench the same courtesy | expect
them TO show me; and while they
are not actively opposing my
election, it is true chat | am not
the lawyers candidate. 1t is al
so true that am not a bitter par
tisan, and | believe a candidate
for Judge should have qualifica-
tions other than being a politi-
clan
In order to set the Judge Alright
in this connection, and definitely
define my position as to 'whom
should have a voice in the selec-
ton of Judges; md as to the quail
ifications of the persons selected
for that Office, | will say:
| believe the farmers who till
the soil and feed the world; the
coal miners who go under the
ground and risk their lives to
produce and put on the market
the fuel that warns our homes
and drives our machinery; the
moulders and mounters that work
in the sand and convert raw mat
erial into stoves, furnaces, CRATES
and other useful utensils; all 9TH
er laborers; and people of all
classes who help to maintain the
state government, should have a
voice in the selection of judicial
officers, as well as other officers.
came into this race at the ear
nest solicitation of the above
mentioned classes. ! am their
candidate; and the more the
Judge and his friends abuse me,
the closer these people stick to
me. No candidate seeking an
office of this character, should
boast of being the candidate OF
the LAWYERS, to the exclusion
of other classes
In the words of the lamented
Bob Taylor, am submitting my
case to the Jury; and its verdict
ST all be entirely satisfactory to
me.
AS to my qualifications, most
respectfully refer the people who
do not know me, to inquire OF
the lawyers of their counties, or
Others who are familiar with!
Court affairs, and who are suffi-
GENTLY acquainted with me to
give an opinion, relative thereto.
It seems to me that this PROPOSE
tion is fair, for since the Judge
saws the lawyers are his friends,
| am offering to leave the ques-
tion of my qualifications to his
witnesses.
The thing that disturbs Judge
Lynch is the fact that the. people
have decided to elect another to
succeed him. My election will
be the victory of the masses of
the people, without regard to
