Earl in December Mr. Womble was di charged from his position as one of M raig's deputies, not by Mr. Craij but by his bondsmen. Mr. Wombl bad been employed on the books in tb sttico. There was no particular ol jection to him, but the bondsmen seen 3d to prefer some one else, and M; Womble retired. Mr. Craig had not! ug to. do with it- There was no ha feeling between the men, so far as 1 enown. If they ever quarroled befor ihls afternoon, no one knows it. Just what occurrod in Mr. Craig ootns may never be known. Mi Womble hud gone thero to discus tomo financial matters of an unknow lature. Shortly after Mr. Wombl iad been admitted Lucinda Clay, shambor maid, heard southing an loises in the room. Shu was cleanin lp a room two doors beyond. Th loises continued and she ran out i rho hall. Just then Mr. Womble came out c dr. Craig's room and said : " My God, I'm murdered !" He ran down the hall towards th tairs. crying alternately. " Murder ! 'Help!" "Help!" "Murder!" When half way down the llight. c tairs leading from the third tloo 10 staggered and fell to the bottom ividently badly wounded. At that moment Dr. E. E. Kerr aji K-arod on the seene, coming from hi ooui on the second floor, and simul n neons I v Mr. Craiw AnnpupAil at. t.h op of tho stairs with h pistol in hi land, wild-eyed and Hushed in th< ace, down whieh tho blood wa (reaming from an ugly wound in thi orehead. Running half way dowi he stairs ho lired wildly and narrowh aissed Dr. Kerr's baby, which he wa urrying in his arras. Dr. Kerr pu he baby in a place of safety and re urned to3tho spot. Mr. .Craig had de cended the stairs and was standinj wo or three steps above Mr. Womble cho was lying Hat on his back just be icath him at the foot of the stairs. Mr. Craig snapped tho pistol at hln wo or three times. It failed to work lo broko tho weapon in two aud ex .rainod it. Then he snapped tho bar ol togothor and pointing the pistol a dr. Womble he shot twlco. One sho aised the body ; tho other entered th< bdoraen, passed through and wa ftter extracted from tho skin of th< lack. Mr. Womble died thirty rain tea later, making tbo following ante nortcin statement: " By invitation I wont to Mr. Craig' oom to look over some figures, whoi ie, Robert T. Craig, shot mo from be iind, without warning. I had no figh ,t all with Mr. Craig." The jury of inquest found that Mr Yomble came to his death fron founds inflicted by a pistol fired b; {obert T.

Al hat can be learned of the cause of tin ragedy is that Mr. Craig accusod Mr dr. Wornble of jugglery with thi ounty warrants.

Gen. Hugh L.. Farley gave the lirst i public intiuation as to the primary . plan for settling the light over the - constitutional convention among the - white peoplo, which he did in an intert view two before the melting of the t State Executive Committee. He has n again submitteed to an interview upon s the political situation, aud from his e remarks wo make the following ox tracts: r "I have always been an advocate of the primary as a court, of last resort. h and 1 condemned the Colleton plan last n year because it not only uutidipated, i- but ruined the primary which followt ed, as a fair test of public sentiment. If any one supposed, however, because . I did this or anything else that I have n iiUAP Aont.nmnluf aH onintr nniwirlA nf t.hn y Democratic party or tho Democratic primary, they arc badly mistaken. I t fool safe in saying as much for 44 the 8 Forty," who did mo tho honor to conit for with mo as to thoir action. As 1 i, understand it their work is of amediab tory and conciliatory character. They are not trying to dictate to any one, y hut are only encouraging our people to t come together in a fraternal way in a each county and to agroe upon a ticket t of their best men for the convention, a and in this they ought to bo eneourag1 ed and seconded by ovory patriotic a citizen. 44 We see now tho result of mismanb agement of tho primary and the evil a effects in a want of conlideuce among r our people, and the only remydy lies 1 in demanding and having a perfectly fair primary, wherever our peoplecannot othorwiso agree upon thoir delegations. After we have exhausted the methods advised by "the Forty," what y can wo do but submit our difference# to a white primary ? If we caunot \ agree upon this, then we cannot agree n upon anything, for its rejection means y an appeal to the negro vote?nothing more nor less. I havo hoped and be3 lioved that the great majority of our a executive committees were disposed to j bo fair and would give us fair rules, 3 and I feel sure that tho timo haspasss3 ed when our people can bo trifled with t in so important a matter. Onthoother 3 side, however, I am sorry to say that j tho developments of the last week havo I shown that thero is already a settled 3 purpose on the part of certain parties r to ignore and reject all efforts to comu promise and to go or appeal straight i to the nogro.
