it a lo>al heart-beat in every’man's

no North or South, East or West. 1
do not believe there is a heart that

How should this monument be

should it come? v I do not think the

he voluntarily does so, it should be
used, but to call upon him to give,
to my mind it is not right, his age,
and his little that he has in store,
should not be used to meet this de

A fatal shooting scrape occurred
Saturday night, near Stokes, in
which Edward Evans was shot to
death by Willit* Zeigler. A party
was given at feul Herndon’s to
which several of the young people of
the neighborhood were invited.
Billie Evans was the banjo player,
and was so intoxicated, it is said,
that he fell on the floor. He was
picked up by several of the boys and
taken out or the piazza. His uncle,
Edward Evans, went out to intrude
for Billie, as he wished him to play
the banjo some more.
The following is an account of the
shooting as told Dr. Riddick Acker
man, physician, by Mr. Evans, who
attended the wounded man, as a
dying statement* "Cleveland Hiers
and Willie Zeigler were taking Billie
Evans out of the mom, and I went
out to get them turn fyim Iboaa.
When I got out on the piazza I asked
them to turn Billie loose, so that he
could oome baric and play the banjo.
Zeigler turned Evans looee and shot
me. I then drew my razor to defend
myself, and Zeigler shot me again.
I did not know what happened after
that.” The wounded man lived
about two hours after he was shot
He was 54 years of age. Zeigler
is a young man, and is a guard on
the county chain gang.
The jury of inquest was impaneled
yesterday by Magistrate Bryan, and
they returned a verdict that the de
ceased came to his death from pistol
shot wounds in the hands of Willie
Zeigler.
The contention of Mr. Zeigler was
that he shot in self defense. He
claims that Evans was advancing on
him with drawn razor and slashing
at him. and exhibited two cuts in
back of coat which he cluims was
made by Evans’ razor. The testi
mony at the inquest was not very
clear on this point, as no one testi
fied that he saw the beginning of
the affair.
Mr. Zeigler has retained Senator
Griffin ascounscl. He came to town
yesterday and surrendered to the
sheriff and is now at the jail.
