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

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. '

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. <

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

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. Since then Aquilla Pow?11

LONG SENTENCE FOR MESSERVY.
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.

POLICEMAN'S "THROAT CUT.
Greenville Officer Badly Wounded
by Unknown Negro.
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. P.. Pitt, of Rocky Mt., N.
C., when he was suffering intensely,
as he says, "from the worst cold I
ever had, I then proved to my great
satisfaction, what a wonderful cold
and cough cure Dr. King's New Discovery
is. For, after taking one bottle,
I was entirely cured. You can't
say anything too good of a medicine
like that." It's the surest and best
remedy for diseased lungs, hemorrhages,
lagrippe, asthma, hay fever?
any throat or lung trouble. 50c,

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.
They are the best pills on earth
for constipation, malaria, headache,
dyspepsia, debility. 25c at Peoples

Sinking Spells
Every Few Days
"At the time I began taking
Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy I was
having sinking spells every few
days. My hands and feet would
get cold; I could scarcely
breathe, and could feel myself
gradually sinking away until I
would be unconscious. Those
about me could not tell there
was life in me. After these
spells I would be very weak and
nervous, sleepless and without
appetite; had neuralgia in my
head and heart. After taking
the remedy a short time all this
disappeared and in a few weeks
all the heart trouble was gone/'
