There was a sensational shooting affray on tho east-bouud Texas and Pacific train near Texarkana last Thursday between the Rev. J. B. Cranfill and tho Rev. S. O. Hayden, both of Dallas, Texas. ' Cranfill fired two shots from a pistol at Haydeu while the latter was struggling for possession of tho weapon. Neither shot took effeOi. The encounter oc curred in the lavatory of the sleeper, on which both men were en route to the Southern Baptist Convention at Nashville, Tenn. Rev. Cranfill was arrested on his arrival at. Texarkana and waB arraigned before Justice Henry on a charge of assault to mur der. He waived examination and was released ou $1,000 bail. Hay den was not arrested, but appeared to prosecute. Cranfill deolined to make a statement, but Hayden talked freely. Both men continued the journey to Nashville on differont trains last evening. The Revs. Hay den and Cranfill are the best known Baptist preachers in Texas, if not in the South. Both also aro editors. Cranfill publishes tho Baptist Stand ard at Dallas, and was tho prohibi tion candidate for Vice Piesident of tho United States in 189'2. Hayden edits the Baptist Herald. He and Cranfill have been bitter enemies for years, and have printed tho most evere statements' oonoo ming each other. Hayden, as a sequel, was denied a seat in the Baptist State Convention at San Antonio in 1897. He sued Cranfill and others for libel and damages and was awarded $30, 000. Tho Supremo Court of Texas granted a now trial, and a second verdict was secured, this time for $16,000. That was more than a year ago. The Supremo Court reversed this judgment, and granted Cranfill a third trial. Several colli sions between various persons have taken place during the long-drawn litigation, but yesterday's affair was tho first clash between tho two principals. How's This ?

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, the body no stronger than its weakest organ.

Fort Madison, May 23.-Editors Cou rier: There is a petition being olroulated In our vioiuity asking for an election on the dispensary, and we think this is aa it should be. We think tho people should bave a vote on the matter aud bo allowed to say whether we will or will not have a dispensary in our eouuty. There is a good deal being said about the disponary, both for and against it, and we have been asked for our views on the matter. Whon you begin to think of it, this whiskey business is a great big thing. We have been notioing the different at tempts at logislatiou to oontrol whiskey, both State aud National, for the last forty years, and they have all been more or less failures. We remember away back in the fifties, before the war, every body made all the whiskey they wanted. They sold all they wanted to sell. They drank all they wanted to drink. It was only worth about 40 cents per gallon. Tbe people were not smart enough or mean enough to adulterate it. Tho whiskey was pine whiskey, and it did not see m to cause half the trouble theu (bat it dees DOW. There was no i eveline tax or license of any kiud on it. Hut after awhile some Mttle up start lu Con gress got very sorry for the poor old di nnkard. He made a fine speech, and told all about tho old drunkard's family being raised up in Ignoranco and rags. He presented a bill to tax the whiskey trust out of existence. Th y placed a rovenuo tax of 00 oents on eaoh and every gallon sold. But the whiskey trust was smart enough to know that the poor old drunkard, who had inherited a desire for Btroug drink from his birth, would have it regardless of price. So they just simply added the 00 cents on the price of their goods and sold as muoh as they over had sold before, and the poor drunkard had it to pay. Then the States, counties and towns all over tho country began to legislate to oontrol the whiskey business. They passed all kinds of laws. Thoy worked faithfully for many years, but all their offorts faiied. Finally Bon Tillman, our Ben. you know, took a notion that bo would io something thnt no other man ever had done. Ho always ha"d a lot of little Tommies running around aftor bim to help him do anything ho wanted to do. and thoy got up this dispensary law, aud wo think this tho biggest blunder of all. He got all the poison stuff together, and built a big tauk to hold thousands of gallons. He put it all in tho big tank; then employed a lot of girls to draw it out and bottle it up, and, after Josh Ashley took the dead rats out of it with a pitchfork, Mr. Tillman called it chemi cally pure. He established dispensaries .il over tho State, counties and towns, whether people wanted thora or not, to loll this chemically pure whiskey. They would not allow us to send off to any other State to get us a jug of whiskey. Wo had to go up like a slave to tho dis ponsnry and HU out an order blank half is big as a laud deed; had to tell our name, place of residence, etc. Ono man laid they examined his mouth to soe if tte bad shod bis colt's tooth, or whetbor ho was moon-eyed or had the botts. After all this he was allowed to pay 50 .cuts a piut or four dollars por gallon for this chemically pure rat soup; pro vided ho would not apply for any moro that day. They know ho could not stand but very little of it. At the samo timo they paid out thousands and thousands if dollars to their rogimont of dispensary constables to watch for blind tigors, and lomotiraes they would murder tho blind tigor man for just precisely what they wore doing thomsolves. Ho was proba bly solliug better whiskey than they .vere and soiling it cheaper. Woll, after l?verai years, they decided they would put tho profits of tho dispensary into the ichool fund and educato tho innocen children of our State on this blood money. But it seems to mo that they iad bettor take their blood money and follow tho example of .ludas. Now, Messrs. Editors, wo notice in your paper of May 11th a communication uglied "Moralist." Wo don't know who "Moralist" is, but wo think that nanto dgued to that particular article is a long ways from homo. What decent, manly man in our county wants to take the money of some poor old drunkard and school bis childrou with it, aud tho poor Irunkard's children at home in thei ignoranco and rags, and their parents not able to fix thom up docent to go to ichool? What manly man is there in mr State who wants to seo his children ml neat ed on tho profits from tho con tents of an infernal old whiskey barrol the very essence of boll itsolf? What ?rood can we expect from children who we educated under such circumstances? What kind of morality is this anyhow Wo wish "Moralist" would toll us. We lon'I want to exchange tho dispensary for the old bar-room system. We are not obliged to havo either of thom. So Far as tho blind tigers are concerned tho dispensary nor barrooms do not decrease tho blind tigors much. There was as many or moro blind tigors after tho dis ponsary law was passed as boforo. think if our State will spend just as much money trying to enforco a prohib? tion law, as thoy have boon trying to en force tho dispensary law, that thoy wi no moro successful. The idea ls, whon we have mon who will not use whiskey properly, make it just as inconvenient to lum as possible. Wo should not put the temptation in front of his door, just to ?et his money to educato our children That's tho roason our public schools ar io account. Yours, etc., J. A. Cook. Tugaloo Items.

The United States Senators' work in opposing the confirmation of Crum was espe cially endorsed and the polioy of Roosevelt toward him condemned. The growing assumption of power by tho President is viewed with alarm and a revision of the tariff is urged and a rigid enforcement of the trust laws is demanded. Last, but not least, the unit rule was adopted and all dolegates to tho National Convention were inst met ed to vote ns n unit on all questions. Tho election of four delegates at large carno next. Those nominated wore : R. Good wyn Rhett, of Charles ton ; Senators B. R. Tillmar and A. C. Latimer, Gen. Wilie Jones, Gov ernor D. C. Hoy ward and John C. Haskell, of Columbia. Mr. Haskell withdrew.

McSweeney, the election was made unanimous. Messrs. Stevenson, Tillman and McSweeney escorted Mr. Henderson to tho chair, where he made a few remarks. He briefly reviewed the : fight of the Democrats in thc seven ties and coming down to the present, pointed out the course of Roosevelt, in his social equality ideas. He men tioned the possible oandidaoy of a Now Yorker for tho Presidency and said that the convention should see to it that none but honest men should be put on guard and every delegate should declare for whom ho would vote as candidate for the Presidency.

Henderson, who presided, did so with ability and fairness. The platform as roported and adopted reads as follows : TUB PLATFORM. The Democrats of the State of| South Carolina, in convention a sembled, by their constituted repre sentatives, hereby renew their pledge of fidelity to the fundamental prin ciples of Jeffersonian Demoorauy as heretofore repeatedly announced in our State ana National platforms. We heartily approve the adminis tration of our State Government as ] wise, conservative and patriotic. Each of the Departments of the Government, executive, judioial and legislative, has faithfully performed its funotions within the limitations presoribed by the Constitution, and we congrat?late our fellow-oitizens that the affairs of our Stato have been so satisfactorily oonduoted that the prosperity and welfare of the people have been promoted, and there have been peaoe and good or der within our borders. We commend the servioes of our | Senators and Representatives in the Congress of the United States as faithful and efficient. Wo commend tho services which resulted in the adjustment of the ac counts of long stand;ng between the State and the National Government, whereby the payment of a large sam of money, long since due the State, was scoured. We eBpeoially commend the con duct of our Senators in their de termined and so far successful pro test against the persistent and perni cious purpose of the President to in flict upon our State a Collootor of Customs at Charleston, who is not only unacceptable to the patrons of the office, but is unfitted by training and experience to perform its impor tant duties. Aud wo deolaro that! more racial antagonism h'ts boon aroused by the policy and languago of Mr. Roosevelt than by all other] administrations during the last quar ter of a century. We believe that the President, in his repeated appointment of the ne gro Crum, as Collector of the Port of Charleston, without tho advice and consent of the Senate, has been influenced more by a purpose to ad vance his political aspirations th nu by a desire to promote the efficiency of the publio service. We affirm that our treatment | of our colored fellow-citizens does not justify the purpose and en deavor of the President to pro duce friction between them and ourselves. We make generous provision for the education of their ehildren. In their efforts to acquire property, to I Beoure homes, to enjoy liberty andJ to elevate their race, we accord to [ them the full proteotion of the law. But we believe it to be indispen sable to the permanency of poaco in the State, and essential to the wel fare of our people, white and oolored alike, that in matters politioal the will of the white people shall be su preme, and we avow our purpose to maintain white supremacy. Concerning national issues, we make these further declarations : We believe that the exeoutive, judioial and legislative departments of tho] National Government should be for ever separate and distinct from each other, without the right of either to I userp, or enoroaoh upon the functions of another. We view with alarm the assumption of power by the President and the surrender of that power by the Congress. We believe that the rights of tho State, should be maintained at all hasards, and that every tendency to centralization of power in the Na tional Government to tho detriment of the saored right of home rule, should be obstructed and arrested. We believe that honesty in the public servioe and economy in tho expenditure of publio funds are essential to good government; no] taxes should be levied, nor tariffs im posed upon the people beyond the aotual requirements of tho Govern ment, economically administered. We, therefore, urge such reasonabh revision of tho existing tariff that manufacturers shall not obtain higher prioe for their producta at] home than they demand for such Koduots abroad, and snob further ] vision as will admit free of duty products that aro manufactured within the United States by trusts mid monopolists. It is essential to the material interests of the people, and tho development of the incalcu lable resources of our country that there shall bo no unjust restrictions upon healthy industrial, competition. We, therefore, demand the rigid en forcement of all laws enacted for the prevention of trusts and combines, and the ?peedy trial and punishment o| persona engaged in their violation. The rights of labor and oapitaf are entitled to equal protootiou under the law. Evidences exist in other ?arts of the country of growing ostility between these two great builders of national wealth. We deplore suoh conditions as result in the lockout and boycott. We be lieve these conditions will be amelior ated under a system of government granting no special privileges which enhance the profits of tho rich and inorease the cost of living to the consumer. -Communications advocating candi date* for any oAoe cannot be published exoept aa paid for advertisements.
