A few minutaa after the city clock ' struck alx Miller .and a Hemphill wo man were standing on the aidewalk, - - a hundred yearda south of Bates' atore, when Bailey came out of the v Hemphill woman's home on the oppo i site aide of the street and approach V, ad them.' As he went near, he said: "Miller, you did not do me right to " , day. I want to settle with you now." That was all that was said. Bal ' . j ley drew his gun and commenoed to Are. The first ball went In Miller's rlt-ht groin and he bent forward as ' If his left leg bad been broken. The . " ahot was fatal, for Miller fell forward . and died but, not sattsned. Bailey shot Mm twice In the back, the balls en tering the shoulder. Before the smoke . had cleared away Bailey pocketed his ' wesson, turned his nose toward the : ''' netting aun and hurried out of the city. Ha has not been overtaken yei. -As ha passed the Victor Mill, where , some boys were playing Daseoau. ne - reported that a white man had shot a negro over beyond the railroad and that the crowd was coming that way ' after him. But, as he talked, he kept moving. He was seen several seconds ' later crosning Irwin's creek, went of . Charlotte. Police officer mad an - effort to catch him, but he had a ' good, long lead und kept going. The ahootlng affair, taking place at ' 'the time It did. when laborers were beginning to return from their work. ' - caused a great commotion In In the action round about Kates' Htore. The dead man was turned over so that his fscs could be wen and the street rapidly tilled with curious peo ple. Men and women and boys snd . girls crowded in to see the lifeless body ss It lny at full length where It had fallen. Miller seemed to be asleep, not dead. He looked natural about the face. . Hard by. In a porch Just above where Miller fell, sat Mary Burt, the "' bone of contention. In her best and most becoming dress. She declared to v- some of her friends thst one of the men had told her that If she did not marry him he would never marry any one and she had answered that ha would never marry, as she did not want him. Miller had ,been drinking, for an empty whiskey bottle was found In Ms pocket. A pocket knife lay on ' the ground by hltn. The officers believe that Bailey has v gone back to Columbia.

Messrs Hugh McRaa ft Co, of Wil mington are now pushing tha develop ment of 18,000 ; horse-power on tha Pee Dee river Just north of tha Car Una' Central .Railroad bridge.' It la understood that this power will be developed and ready, for delivery by January 1st, '1908, and part of It may . be transmitted to Wilmington, a distance of 120 miles. Discussing the subject with a gen tleman - interested in the electrical business In this city, he said: ' - "It Is figured thst this power can be carried to Wilmington, say 120 miles, at 100.000 volts, and a loss of not over 10 per'cent. This Pee Dee power may . be' sold at Hocklngham Lumberton. Tstam and MeCoil, in South Carolina, and at other places. If carried to Wilmington it may all he sold. "In the West power of water couraes Is carried 200 miles and sold to the advantaga of the purchaser and the power producer. Tfils is soma times In localities where coal is at lit a ton or where mining Is done where fuel" is Inaccessible. - Here-in the South Atlantic area coal Is near 14 a ton and power 120 outside the transformer, or (21 Inside the trans former, and at these prices water power transmitted or otherwise is cheap enoush. "There Is no trouble about carry ing currents from Pee" Dee to Wil mington and at a good profit tf the cost of development Is not too much. The prices named are for units of 200-horse-power snd upwards. For 100 horse-power 125 would seem to be a fair price. The smaller the unit the higher ,the price. Ten-horsepower at $50 a horse-power Is cheap enough. One horse-power at 1200 a horse-power Is cheap enough. "It is well worth the while of a man merchant or mechanic to pay for power at the rate of ir.OOO per man-power in the Job. Sewing in a tax the wife or daughter to put wo-man-opwer in the Job. Bowing in a household does not require the power of too monkeys, yet the human tax Is a heavy tax on a woman and at the rate of $1,000 per horse-power per year the cost of work to make the clothes for an entire family would not be In a year more than $15 gross for the whole year. "It Is cheaper to pay this $15 for power than to pay doctors' bills and drugs. "The distribution of electrical cur rent Is the modern Improvement, it mutters not whether the current is made by steam or water or gas or any other way. It transpires that the value of power Is proportionate to distribution. Small power bought means to pay higher price per horse power. Ten thousand horse-power made by water is the same as 10,000 horse-power by steam. The main Idea is economy of grnerirtlon In big units and distribution. "This question of cheap central power and Its distribution Is a modern Innovation and Improveemnt. This new situation Is a great resource for advantage of the piedmont region. The Investment In water powers are all right and the power of the rivers here in the piedmont regain will help us to mnke goods cheaper to sell In the Orient and other countries abroad."

Greater Charlotte taJk, it teas been suggested that a public debate be held In the Academy of Music, with the follow ing query for discussion! "Resolved, that the Interests of the city. demand the unconditional - extension of the present limits." With three debatera on either side, it is believed that a lively time would be spent. Judges to decide the question, would have to be Imported. It would be dangerous tnr anv Charlotte citizen to act. This suggestion Is one worthy of consider ation. If such a debate is held, small admission fee might be charged for the city's depleted treasury. ' Mr. Milburn's New Headquarters. Mr. Frank P.
