KILL El> HIS FATHER
A Nineteen Year OLI Neqro R?u
Kill* hi* Father in Self Dvfen*e.
Another homicide 111 this county,
but this time the killing appears
to have been in self defense.
Lewis Watts, col., was shot and
killed by his 19 year old son four
miles above here Thursday evening
about night. It appears that
Lewis was accustomed to whipping
the household occasionally
wife, children, large and small,
and that evening he made a
start on his wife, having whipped
her unmercifully and threatened
to kill her, but she got loose and
ran off and was met, as she went
away from the house, by her children
who had been fishing and
who took her hack to the house.
Lewis started for Johnson, his
oldest son, with a razor in one
hand and a rope in the other [he
used the rope to whip his wife|
Johnson backed toward the door,
but the old man got in a "swipe"
or two with his razor, planting
an ugly gash in the boy's arm.
After that bout was over it was
the boy's turn to get in some
work. lie had a pistol in
his pocket. Ho promptly drew
that pistol and fired the fatal
shot, the ball taking effect in
the hack just above the right
shoulder and going entirely
through the body in near range
of tho heart. The father ran
out into the yard a few steps
and fell upon his face where he
lay till yesterday morning when
the coroner's jury moved him,
with a razor in one hand and a
rope in the other. Deputy
sheriff Wilson went up and
brought the boy down yesterday
morning and lodged him in
jail. He made no attempt whatever
to escape, feeling we sup.
, Xintv inn VOU1BO, oau tvliu
awful as it.was, was justifiable
in the eyes of the law.
Mr. Sowell Withdraw* an a Candidate
for Sheriff.
Mr. Editor: I desire to inform
the public, for reasons best known
to myself, that 1 am no longer a

county. I also desire to most
earnestly thank many friends for
the assurances of their support
during the time I was in the
race. I shall also ever bo grate
lul to the kind friends who urged
me to announce for said oflice.
Very truly,
J. O. SO well.

False Rumor Corrected.
Mr. Editor?Please allow me
space in your valuable columns
to correct a false report that I
understand is in circulation. I
learn that it is being rumored
that I have withdrawn from the
race for auditor. I have never
for a moment since I entered
the race thought of withdrawing
from it, nor do I expect to do
so, but'shall remain in it to the
finish. I hope this statement
will be suflicicnt, and that those
who have helped to give the
rumor circulation, will do me
the fayor and justice to help
put a stop to it.
Very truly,
Ed. C. Oroxton.

"It never rains, but it pours,
and it never pours but it washes
and it never washes but what in,
farm gets more than any bod
elses', said one of our peculiar!
pessimestic farmers the other daj
in discussiug the recent heav,
rains. To those who are given ti
rellecting thus, tlie Scotchman'
observation "that tire good Lor<
bin running this old world 1
l good while, and he never nan i
consult ye yet, and He nive
made any mistakes," is very ap
propriate.
It seems til present, from ill
reports of the daily papers tha
the Prohibition party has ,
strong chgnce of electing ou
next governor. Now the thinj
for us to do is to begin at honu
and see how our candidates fo
the Legislature stand on thi
issue. Send men to the Genera
Assembly pledged to suppor
Prohibition. Elect magistrate;
and county officers that will set
to it that prohibition is inforced
Men that will?if the Dispensa
