PATTERSON'S FOES CARRY TEXN. Independent Judiciary Ticket has ] Been Elected. Nashville, Tenn., August 4.?The Independents elected their judicial < tickets in Tennessee to-day in one of i the most exciting and hard fought : political contests ever known in the ] State. Following is the successful < ticket: ] Judges of the supreme court: Eastern division, John K. Shields; mid- i die division, D. L. Landsden, Matt M. Xeil; State at large, \V. D. Beard, ; Grafton Green. Judges of the court of civil ap- ( peals: Eastern division, H. Y. 1 Hughes; middle division, Joseph C. i Hiererins. S. F. Wilson; State at large, ] Frank P. Hall, John M. Taylor. j The independent headquarters here claims that the majority will approxi- c mate 40,000 votes. The regular Democrats, whose ticket was defeated, < claim these figures will be cut by 10,- i t 000 or 15,000 votes and their leaders 1 alleged fraud in many places. They also charged that they were denied ( representation at the polls by the ] , election commissioners dominated by the independent faction. Largely Prohibition. The latter represents in a large measure the State-wide prohibition element of the Democratic party , which has been vigorously opposing , Gov. Patterson since his memorable , campaign with the late Ex-Senator E. W. Carmack for the gubernational ] nomination. < It took on added strength when the State committee ordered a blanket ] primary for nomination of both judicial and State officers. Three members of the supreme court, Chief Justice Beard and Justices Xeal and Shields, and Judges Wilson and Tay- 1 lor, of the court of civil appeals, re- , fused to enter the primary and the ( independent movement was on. Judges McAlister and Bell, of the ( supreme court, entered the primary ( and were on the regular ticket. Judge Barton, of the court of civil appeals, , was also a nominee for supreme , court. Patterson in Lists. Gov. Patterson entered the lists for , the regular ticket and stumped the , State for it. His enemies lined up . solidly with the independents. The Cooper case, charges of attempted co- , ercion of the supreme court by the j governor in its decision of the cele- , brated trial and his pardon of Col. , Cooper, played leading roles in the campaign and served almost to make it a fight of Patterson and anti-Patterson. The Republican leaders, Newell Sanders and H. Clay Evans, i entered the fight for the independents ! and it has been charged there was a jvv deal following a conference at the i White House in which President Taft < participated. The indorsement by the ? n -.1.1: ,Via xwp u L'liCtlU wuxmiLtct; KJL iuc AUUWpendents was followed by a break in Republican ranks and the negro vote, ^ it was alleged, was solidly for the regular ticket. Negroes were registered more freely than ever before and they 1 paid their poll taxes. The revolt in ; the Republican ranks was led by Jesse Littleton and many of the blacks followed him, but it seems not in the numbers that have been pre dieted. Enemies of Gov. Patterson claim * that the result to-day will have disas- 1 trous effect on his political future. He 1 is a candidate for re-election, but as 5 yet the opposition has not shown its 1 hand as to what steps will be taken - x i in putting out a ticket against him. 1 ? 1 Young Man Shot Dead. < Shelby, Ohio, August 5.?After a ! brief but bloody running battle in I: v . which three men were wounded, 1 Parley May, aged 23, was shot to 1 death by Patrolman Jacob Gates late < to-day. May, who was a hostler, started trouble In a Main street saloon by shooting at the bartender. He missed the bartender, but shot George i Cline, a farmer, through the upper < portion of his chest. 1 Going into the street, May calmly 1 reloaded his revolver and shot Pa- 1 trolman W. G. Shaw through the < breast, inflicting a possibly fatal hurt. ' The youth then fled down Main street * and took refuge in a private resi- 1 dence, where a posse led by Patrol- 1 man Gates found him. 1 May fired first, slighting wounding 1 Gates, but the latter, on his first shot, 1 pierced the young man's jugular vein 1 with a bullet, and the lad, clutching * his revolver, sank dying to the door- '< step and expired before he could be removed. Cline, the first man wounded, will 1 probably recover, but Patrolman 11 Shaw's condition is extremely se- < rious. ' 1 J. H. Can-igg Dead. ] Orangeburg, August 5.?J. H. Car- s rigg, a well-known farmer, of the t . i *?i- i.: i lower rurK seeuuii ui uiaugtruuig j county, died last Monday after an ( illness of several weeks. He was 33 r years old and leaves a wife and three 1 children. He was a member of the < Bethlehem church. The funeral ser- i vices were held at Canaan church, 1 Rev. Mr. Simpson officiating. The 1 body was buried in the Caanan j church graveyard. < tt FATAL SHOOTING OCCURS. rt. F. Hawkins Shoots and Almost Instantly Kills L. L. MacLemore. Greenville, August 5.?In an alternation resulting from a change in the light watchman, H. F. Hawkins shot and almost instantly killed L. L. MacLemore this evening about 7:30 D'clock at the Mills Manufacturing plant just outside the city limits. Hawkins surrendered to the sheriff and is now in jail. The inquest over the body of MacLemore will be held in the morning. MacLemore is said to have been Irinking and did not report on time i to take up his work as night watch-; man. Hawkifls was sent to take his place, and upon finding MacLemore already there, a slight quarrel ensued, MacLemore firing twice and Hawkins )nce, the latter ball only taking effect. MacLemore followed Hawkins a short distance and fell just at the door of the engine room, where he was found by the coroner. The ball pierced a blood vessel just above the heart, causing almost instant death. Hawkins was not struck. Gaynor Scores Brutal Police. New York,.August 4.?Mayor Gayuor'8 sweep yesterday on the night court bore fruit to-day in another characteristic denunciation of police stupidity and brutality. In part he let loose his indignation because of what he saw last night as luxiu w a. "Two-thirds of those who were brought were stupidly and needlessly arrested and one or two of them corruptly to extort money, and I understood that the proportion is the rule. "One policeman brought a boy who threw a rubber ball on the street. He should have stopped him only. Annther brought a boy who danced on a building platform in the street. Another brought two men who had been quarreling. Their dispute was perfectly harmless. It was only necessary to stop and tell them to go along. A London policeman would hardly notice them. "One officer arrested a cook for stealing a cold chicken. Some one said he stole it. That an officer may not arrest without a warrant for such a crime unless he saw it committed seemed never to have entered his head. Ke looked too stupid to understand it. There was no evidence of the larceny." Staggers Skeptics. That a clean, nice, fragrant compound like Bucklen's Arnica salve will instantly relieve a bad burn, cut, scald, wound or piles, staggers skeptics. But great cures prove it a wonderful healer of the worst sores, ulcers, boils, felons, eczema, skin eruptions, as also chapped hands, 3prains and corns. Try it. 25c at Peoples Drug Co., Bamberg, S. C. Negro Surrenders. Aiken, August 5.?Tom Morton, a negro, has surrendered to the Aiken authorities for assault and battery with intent to kill Ed Mims at Beech Island several days ago. Mims came ^oinor L-illorl QTld h P IS T!Ot V^I) JLLCCll U^iu^ miivu ~ ? yet out the danger. They had a quarrel several days ago about a wagon seat loaned by Mims to Morton. Morton went to Mims's to get it, and a fuss ensued, in which Morton began shooting at Mims. Several bullets took effect, each of them in his back. He tried to take shelter in his house but Morton prevented him. Mims then ran through a corn field, followed by Morton, who continued to shoot. When the incident happened Morton took leg bail into Georgia, but he svas induced to return to Carolina and give up to the officers. Youth Shoots Himself. Durham, N. C., August 5.?"I have lust seven minutes to live," a welldressed man wrote in a saloon here to-day and before the time had expired, shot himself twice. He was hurried to a hospital, where physicians, to-night say he is dying. Tne nan is said to be Aquilla Powell, a son of E. E. Powell, of Scotland Neck, tvho recently was convicted of the nurder of Chief of Police Dunn, and the wounding of State Senator Edsvard Travis and Paul Kitchin, a brother of the governor. It is beieved that worry over his father's position prompted the young man to ittpmnt to take his life. It was learned that Aquilla Powell aad been here for several weeks. At :he time of his father's trouble, he vas working for a tobacco company md he was warned from Scotland \'eck not to come back. He did go ater, however, and has not been back aere since. It is recalled that he is jupposed to have been the cause of :he Scotland Neck shooting affray. He engaged in a cutting affair that caused his father to write Senator rravis the letter which caused the lomicide.

Colleton County Cr.se Affirmed by Supreme Court. For the killing of C. P. Fishburne, a dispensary constable at Ravenel station, in Colleton county, J. \V. Messervy must serve 20 years in the State penitentiary. The supreme court yesterday rendered a decision in which the verdict of the Colleton county court was affirmed. This means that Messervy will have to spend practically the remainder of his days in the State penitentiary. Messervy is a man over 40 years of age and a cripple. He has been at the State penitentiary since nis conviction. The opinion is by Chief Justice Jones and deals at length with the case and the testimony presented at the trial. The crime took place on the evening of July 6 last year. History of Case. C. P. Fishburne, who was employed as a county dispensary constable, was killed while trying to arrest Messervy and seize some alcohol, a mule and wagon. The shipment of alcohol had just been received by Messervy at the station at Ravenel. It was claimed that the alcohol had been purchased by his wife, L. W. Messervy, from a firm in Cincinnati. Trial in Colleton. Messervy was tried at the November term of court for Colleton county last year and was found guilty ot manslaughter. He was sentenced to 20 years in the State penitentarv by the late Judge Dantzler. At tne tri2i a motion was made for a new trial, which was refused. Later an appeal was taken to the supreme court. Soon after the trial Messervy was brought to the State penitentiary for safekeeping. Of general interest in the appeal of the case to the supreme court was the exception affecting the Carev-Cothran act. It was the contention of the defense that the dispensary had been abolished and that it was necessary for the governor to appoint constables for the enforcement of the act. C. P. Fishburne had been commissioned by Gov. Ansel. He had not filed his bond. The position was taken by the State that it was only necessary to show that Fishburne had been commissioned.

Greenville, August 7.?At 11:30 o'clock last night Policeman J. E. Noe had his throat cut from ear to ear by an unknown negro. The officer went to arrest a negro woman, Melissa Heard, and while she was resisting, the man who did the cutting rushed from across the street and attacked him, using a razor. Noe is still alive at 2 a. m., but his condition is serious. The negro has not yet been captured. The Best Hour of Life is when you do some great deed or discover some wonderful fact. This came to J.

Saved Life at Risk of Own. North, August 4.?On Monday af ternoon when Seaboard train No. 63, which leaves Columbia for Savannah at 5:50 p. m., pulled into Gaston the train entered the side track to await for the Seaboard's limited train, No. 84, going North. A man, who then seemed to be somewhat under the influence of whiskey, stepped upon the track of the main line. Conductor Williams, who was in charge of train No. 63, seeing that the man would be crushed to death by the fast approaching train, made a rush for him and snatched him from the track just in time to save his life. Had not it been for the brave act of Conductor Williams the unfortunate man would have met his death. Many of the passengers turned and looked away when the conductor made a dash for the man. Struck a Rich Mine. S. W. Bends, of Coal City, Ala., snvs hp struck a perfect mine of health in Dr. King's New Life Pills for they cured him of liver and kidney trouble after 12 years of suffering.
