SPEAKS AT COURTHOUSE

Hon. 7. Weber Wilson, of Laurel
Miss, delivered an able and conyinc-
ing address here Tuesday afternoon
in behalf of the national and State
Democratic nominees.
Close attention was given the
speaker throughout as he made plain
the true meaning of the league Of
nations and scored the Republicans
for their efforts to mislead the peo-
pie in this campaign. This was one
Of the best political talks heard
in this county for long while and
we feel sure will bear good fruit for
the cause of Gov. Cox and entire
Democratic party.
Mr.. Wilson is quite Young man
being about q years of age. hut
holds the important position of at
torney-general of his district. He is
real orator. and one of the strong
points he made was that since the
establishment Of the Federal reserve
banks there had been fewer bank
failures than ever before: that when
banks fail the poor people are the
greatest sufferers.
Mr.. Wilson was heard by a goodly
audience. Mr.. R. S. Calhoun pre-
sided and introduced Hon. w. A.
Shoaf, who in turn introduced the
speaker. Mr.. Wilson left Wednesday
morning for Union City where he
was scheduled for another speech.

TWO FARMERS IN

QUENTIN D. HUNT AND LEMUEL
STEVENS, OF 4TH DISTRICT
Shooting Occurred at Home Of the
Former Friday MOrning-BOth
Men Wounded. the Former More
SeriOusly-QuarreI Of Sons Of Two
Men Cause of Trouble.

Quentin ID. Hunt and Lemuel
Stevens. two well known farmers who
live near Randolph, became involved
IN a difficulty about z o'clock Friday
morning, and as result Stevens was
shot by Hunt and Hunt was shot by
Stevens, according to reports. Both
men are said to have used shotguns
loaded with No. 4 shot.
Stevens is a tenant of Hunts and
the houses in which they live, near
which the difficulty occurred, are not
lar apart. Both men were removed to
their respective homes, where physi-
clans dressed their wounds.
The trouble is said to have origi-
mated on the day before the shooting
IN quarrel between the sons Of
Messrs. Hunt and Stevens. On Friday
morning Mr.. Stevens wife went to
Mr. Hunts lot to milk her COW and
Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Stevens are said
to have had some words about the
trouble between their two boys. Mr.
Hunt then came out to the lot and led
Mrs. Stevens out. The latter then
called to her husband, who started
over to the Hunt home and seeing Mr..
Hunt with his shotgun, went back to
his home, got his gun and returned.
Mr.. Hunt then left his COW lot and
went up in his yard. SO it is stated,
and when Mr.. Stevens passed he
called to him and told him not to go
down there; that if he did he would
shoot him, about the same time firing
on him with both barrels of the gun,
the load striking Mr.. Stevens in the
left thigh and leg. Mr.. Stevens then
fired at Mr.. Hunt twice, the first shot
missing him, but the second struck
him in the right breast. arm and
hand
Mr.. Hunt is badly wounded and it
is thought some of the shot entered
his right lung. Mr. Stevens wounds
are not so bad and he was able to be
up Monday.
Sheriff V6lz went to the scene of |
the shooting Immediately after it oc-
Cured and the trial Of the two men
will be held as soon as they are able
to appear
