Mail Carrier Shoots Hiram Wilson in Madison, N. C. Asheville, S’. (’., July 21.—News .vns received ere today of the killing of Hiram Wilson, of Shelton Laurel, in Madi-on county. Friday aft rnoon, by Fred Sams, a rural mail carrier, -onie twenty years of age. Particu lars of the killing are lacking. It is aid. however, that Wilson made Sams climb down from his wagon, and that the mail carrier suddenly turned on the desperado and killed him. Wilson was consid red the most desperate man in Western North Car olina. He was a blockader and mur- dei ■?'. Me lulled his brother State Senator Seek Wilson, at Burnsville, Yancey county, four years ago, and was acquitt d. About twenty years ago he was tried for blockading before Judge Long, found "uilty and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. Judge Long had the man shackled amj hand cuffed in the court room and sent to Raleigh with a guard of fifteen men. He was pardoned afte.* n year’s ser- vttude.

Price 60c, -v SENATOR HUMAN IN SPARTANBURC. WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN. ADDRESSES A LARGE CROWD AT GLENDALE PARK. oavs Didn't Know Representative Nash When H e Spoke to Hi* In Columbia Last Winter. Spartanburg, July 25.—For the third time in his political career Senator B. R. Tillman addressed a Sivartanburg audience today. The crowd which greeted the senator and other speak ers was perhaps the largest that has ever attended a political meeting In the county. The estimate has been placed '»n the crowd «s between 2,000 and 3,000. The crowd was at all times orderly and Save the speakers the best of attention. Mr. Tillman discussed th dispen sary situation in the State and in Spartanburg and made an .attack on tho Spartanburg delegation in the legislature. This he was particular In making an important point in his speech and it can he said that this was the leading f uture in his argu ment. Mr. Tillman confined himself to State and local issues alone and refused lo discuss the national ques tion in other than a casual manner. He intimated that the Spartanburg delegation had purposely put corrupt men in office so that the dispensary might fall into disrepute and be killed. He stated that he had heard a rumor to the effect that one mem ber of the house of representatives front this county had been told of the corruption (hat. existed and in rc.dy had stated that he wished to have nothing to do with It. that he wanted to see the dispensary corru r ' f . There were calls from the audience of “Name him,” “Name him,” but the senator replied that it was only a ru mor. Mr. Tillman exnlalned the matter of the Nash statement, in regard to his having been informed of the sit uation in this county by Mr. Nash last, winter in Columbia, that he simply did not know - ho Mr. Nash was when he spoke to him in Columbia. He nleaded that his memory in regard to fac-« was poor and this accounts for his failure to remember Mr. Nash. Mr. Tillman roasted the delegations of Spartanburg county in the past and paid his respects to the present dele gation. saying that they werv> really responsible for the corruption Laj this countv In that thev could have ousted the board if they had wanted to. and had merely hid behind tho “argu ment” which thev had found when th ,‘V came into office. The crowd was a large and repre sentative one and ,,- as not what could he called a Tillman crowd. There w-- cheering and interruptions at times but these were more In re sponse to the senator’s characteristic remarks than to any point in his ar gument that he drove home. The pa vilion was literally jammed and there was an overflow to the grounds. There were roanv seated among the rafters. The crowd was ht all times respectful. There were at times ap plause and laug’nt p but the crowd In general was not very enthusiastic over Senator Tillman’s remarks. Senator Tillman arrived in tho city this morning on schedule time and was carried immediately to the park in a special car which had been pro vided bv the <Meet car company for speakers, comm it ter and guests. The car was proceeded by a car with the hand and things were enlivened from time to time bv music. Upon arriv al at the park the party Immediately took seats on the stage. There was not a very large crowd in the pavil ion at the start, hut before the sena tor commence t to speak then* was between 2,000 and 3,000 persons pres ent. The first speakers on the program were the congressional candidates, Messrs. \V. C, Irby, Jr, G. H. Mahon and Congressman Joseph T. Johnson. After Mr. Johnson’s speech. Mr. TI11- m in spoke. The congressional aspir ants nresented their claims to the fa vor of the people and were well re ceived. The crowd seemed to be for Johnson and there was frequent ap plause during his speech. Messrs. Mahon and Trby also came in for their share of applause. For the Week Ending 8 A. M., Mon day, July 23. One of the main features of the week’s weather was the continuation of excessive cloudiness that has been so characteristic a feature since the first of the month, although in many localities there was slightly more sun shine than there was in the two pre vious weeks, clear days liavlng been noted in various parts of the State on Friday and Saturday. The temperature was quite uniform throughout the entire week with no noteworthy variation from the normal, o- season alheat. The weekly range in temperature was from a minimum of sixty-two degrees at Greenville on the 18th to a maximum of ninety-six degrees at Heath Springs on the 20th. There were numerous showers and thunderstorms durin" the week, rain having fallen on from three to six days in nearly every part of State. The weekly amounts of rainfall were generally above normal at all sta tions. while in the extreme north western border range of counties the rainfall was excessive, having been six inches, or more, for the week, with a maximum fall of 0.88 inches at Clemson College.

Mail Officer Takes Whiskey From Carrier in Saluda. Saluda, July SS.—State Constable Tom Bason Perry, who arrived here nt middav Monday, has already caus ed consternation among susected tigers. He captured two two-gallon jugs on the road from Ridge Springs in the afternoon after quite a little “experience.” The constable left here about 3 o'clock- and a few min- utr - afterward, it is said, that F. G. Cromer and W. D. Berry got a team and started out to meet the mail car- ri.-r and get the liquor before tjie con stable could reach him. On coming up with the mail carrier the constable demanded the whiskey of him. He denied having any. The constable then gave him order- to make no delivery of it until he reached Saluda. The carrier then stated that he had go pav for hauling it and he did not care who got It. Cromer and Berrv were now pres ent. The constable went to the car- t -i -r's buggy and got one jug out. Cromer seized this and it was quite a time before he would let go. Per ry ordered Berry, who, by the way. is bis kinsman, to help him take the Jug from Cromer. This Perry refused to do. Finally Perry twisted the jug from Cromer and placed it in his own bugg'y. In the meantime Gillon. the mail carrier, handed the second jug well what not to say as what to say. Thp first speech that Col. Mckis- j sick ever made elected him It was this way; He studied up his speech I and while in the field idowjn/T he j would g<'t on a stumo and soeak to ! the hands and mules. He was a com paratively noo»- Pea Ridge boy. with moderate education, but he wanted to lie clerk of the court of Union and he had one of the hardest men in th*? countv to beat—Col. Bill Keenan. Old Col. Jim Jefferies, father of the late Capt. J. R. Jefferies and grand father of present Clerk J. Eb. Jeffer ies. was his friend. At the regiment al muster at Bradley’s old field the governor and other prominent men were making speeches and Ike told his friend Col. Jefferies he thought that if he could get to speak he would make some votes. Col. Jefferies said, “Well, sir, you shall have it,” and when the wav was clear he called for I. G. McKissh k. Ike took off his hat and stepped to the front amid a storm of hisses, jeers and jibes from the more aristocratic and educated element—the aristocracy. But It was not long till Hie tide, turned. His mas terly effort captured the crowd as it gathered around and cheered him. Like John Philpot Curran, the great Iri^h lawyer whose eloquence swayed fainting judges and trembling juries and forced recognition from the crowned heads of Europe, as he plead ! his cause before his eountrytm n. 1 When he was through calls were I made for bis opponent. Koenan Col 1 Keenan acknowledged his inability as a speech maker and retired The ! election came off and McKissick was I elected. Afterwards a captain of one ! of the militia companies asked him (McKissick) if he knew how he come i to be elected and McKissick told him he suposed by getting the most votes. “Yes,” said he. "but I will ; tell you. Do you remember that speech you mad • at Bradley’s old field?” asked the captain “Yes.” said McKissick. “Well,” said the cap- some of Jim Smarr’s medicine. When people speak evil of you. live so that nobody (that is anybody) will believe it. The b -st wav to resent an insult is not to deserve it. Rev. and Mrs. R. T. Liston and children spent la-t night with Mr. and Mrs. Martin Mitchell, on the York side of the river. It’s alarming to see how some child ren are being raised to have their own way—to do as they please. About the first thing tnanv of them learn is to disobey and disrespect their parents. Solomon says; “Train up a child in th way he shd’J!' 1 K°.'' etc. “But,” say s some good yet mis taken mother. "I have tried to raise mv children right.” Dear madam. Sol omon didn’t say a word about trving: be says—do. Read Proverbs 22:15, and 23:13-14. and many other of his writings. The children are the best advertisement of the home and home government. Corporal punishment is the best and most potent antidote for crime, either in the home or govern ment. Dispensing with the whipping post (that so-called and much dreaded re lict of barbarism) and the '■-itablish- ment of the penitentiary and chain gang has done much to promote crim inality. They often make heroes of the worst criminals. We shall devote a portion of our next letter to lectur ing our readers along this line, we think. Perhaps we may raise a little sheol with tho c f‘ in high places bv doing so. but w-. will rely on the dictates of conscience and the promptings of common sense to su tain »/i • posi tion. T. L. S.
