While Governor Marshall is described as a "tender hearted" executive, nevertheless he is a fighter. He's Net a Dodger. Governor Marshall is not a dodger.

Haley has been tried before the justice of the peace on a charge of felonious assault and committed to jail awaiting the action of the grind jury From tile evidence that came out before the justice of the peace in the preliminary trial Monday, th" general gist of the facts seems to be as follows: The two men had first engag ed in a fist fight as a result of a dispute over an account Haley owed George, ami had been sep arated some distance, when Haley aimed himself with a wagon stan dard and George drew his revol ver and rushed upon him and struck him in the face with it, and upon George dropping the revolver down toward his side and turning his head slightly away, Haley hit him a terrible blow on the l,ft side of the head with the standard, and as he fell, Haley struok him again with the stick, and a third stroke after he had fallen to the ground, and the pistol George had in his hand went off about the time he struck the ground, then fell from his iHrf d ;llalev wicked it up. and tru, -nariuiiijf pCrlt7 UWIO IOUOW him. Dr. R. S. Martin was called immediately and examined and dressed his wounds. Afterwards a thorough examination was made by the local ' doctors here, and Dr- Lawrence, of Winston-Sale.m.

So he was removed to flic rr ' i.i t Home, and a tel gram was sent for Dr. Ho.'sley, a .nof-d specialist of Richmond, who came on the late train Saturday night and the operation was performed at once. In his evidence before the jus tice, Dr. Martin testified that Mr. IGeorire had one chance in two to get well, and later advices say that he is slowly improving. Hulled to Death. Flint, Mich., Aug.

Na turally we have our persenil preference, just, as most others have. We are not now going to undertake to wage anybody's fight for them or espouse the cause of either of the three as pirants. We give the people credit for wanting to knu-w the truth regardless of personal preference. With this idea in mind we are going to state what appears to us to he the exai t truth about a matter concerning which there has been considerable talk. The record of Senator Sim mons is attacked on the groun I that eleven times he has voted with the Republican! majority and his Democracy is brought into serious question by his oppon ents on that question. Senate Document No. 273, C2nd Congress 2nd! session,, which is a public document issued by Congress gives a record of every year ami .many votes in the Senate on the Reciprocity and tariff bills dur ing the Sixty-second Congress and a tabulated statement of the votes of the Democratic Senators We must accept this record as true. What is stated therein must be accurate. From this we learn that of the thirty-eight oth er Democratic Senators voting at all, thirty-two of them voted with the Republican majority a greater number of times than did Senator Simmons. Senator Bacf 11 of Georgia, whose Democracy has been endorsed for the fourth consecutive time by his party in his nomination for Senator, voted times ami against them 17 tiit. Senator Culberson," known leaded'', 'f the Progressive wing of the party whose progressiveness) can not be questioned, voted with the Republican majority 17 times and afeainst them !) times; Senator Gore, who stumped the nation over for Governor Wilson and a recognized Progressive, voted with the Republican majority 42 times and against, them P? times; Senator Kern voted with them 2ti times and against them 20 funis; Senator John Sharp Wil liams voted with them 24 times and against them 11 times; our own Soiiator Overman, voted with them 24 times and against them 20 times and so the record runs on. Compare this with the re cord of Simmons who voted with them 11 tunes and (against them :!2 times. How fairnimled. trutl loving men are expected to ex-cusu-Mie' thirty-two out of the thirty-eight Democratic Senators : nd condoiun Simmons on this account is past finding out.

The plan iww is to build three, 20 mile stretches' ef model road in the three divisions of the State. coast, hill and mountain r, gioiis, j the road to be regular rural mail j route's.

"The parcels post system on rural mail routes can be conduct ed practically with no extra ex penses to the government, ex cept the increased salary allow ance to carriers," said Mr. Hitch cock. "In my judgment this ad ditional cost will be more than offset by an increased revenue, thus insuring the maintenance and, from time to time the ex tension of the rural delivery sys tem as a se'lf-snpporting" branch of the postal service." Mr. Hitchcock ha.s directed, also, that rural mail carriers, on the completion of the twelve months service, be granted fif teen days leave with pay. This will require the additional ex penditure of $80,000 a year in the payment of substitute car riers. Carrcll OUJltT Slayfar, CaugU. .iii;sv?'lle, Aug. 2'.).
