Mncdatar Fanned and Killed In an Knoonnuf With On, of th. Fur ' . aaera. - 4 A thrill of horror was sent through the quiet circles of Mount Airv lifeon Sun day afternoon by the killing of two men. one at 8 p. m. aad the other three or four hours later. ' - The first victim was Charles Ad kins, a young white man, aged 25 years, un married, and a cigar maker by trade. His slaver was Charles Fry, also a ciaar maker and about 22 years old. Both men had been drinking and were jast outside the town limits at a place were liquor Is secretly sold, when, the killing ' took place. The quarrel arose in' the house and Fry who was a very powerful man, took Adkins pistol away from him. Adkins went outside and took a seat on the piazza. - Fry followed, placed ; his pistol within a few inches of his victim's head, and pulled the trigger. The ball en tered the forehead, lodging in the back of tbe neck.- Death was instantaneous". I Fry went back to town and i told bis father of the deed. Tbe elder Fry ad vised his son to make himself scarce. Fry' acted on his - father's advice and left town. Sheriff Davis summoned a posse of men and followed ia pursuit oni horseback. Others followed on foot. ' The; murderer was discovered in a thicket only a short distance from Ml Airy .A personalencounter followed with William Going, the first of the pursuers to come np. . Fry snapped his pistol in Going's face when the two closed and felU Going saw that he could not cope with his opponent and released bim, firing at him when he was several steps away. The: ball took effect in Fry's right thigh; Fry then opened fire and shot at his pursuer three times, but without wounding him. Go ing fired aeain. This shot closed the straggle, as the ball entered Fry's back and pierced the heart. From all accounts Fry was rather a bad. quarrelsome kind of man and with very few friends in the community. Ad kins was pretty generally liked and bad no enemies. There was no standing grudge between the two. In fact, they were considered good friends. Fry had been heard to say during tbe day, how ever, that he intended to kill Adkins. BASE BALL. Th. National) IiMine-Betnlt of Ycurdiy's , Oamei and Other Xat.aatinc Peatnre. . : YESTERDAY'S GAMES.

McNair and a com mitteejof Confederate veterans met here last Saturday and named August 19th as the time for the annual meeting of tbe veterans of this section. A large com mittee of excellent ladies from Robeson and adjoining counties was appointed to arrange for a picnic on tbe Fair grounds. Col. J. S. Carr will be invited to deliver the address a theme upon which be is always eloquent; , , I Mattie Shortridge, a small colored girl, was fatally burned while attempt ing to cook for her blind grandmother, at the McCormac place, west of Maxton, last Thursday evening. - : v-' j I A gentleman who has recently trav eled in North ana South Carolina, Geo gia and Florida, said in our hearing last Saturday that he has been to no place which shows as much evidence of solid improvement as Maxton. The building and loan association which was organ ized here in 1889 bas been the leading cause in suiting the town toward its present rapid development. The Railroad Commission has ordered tbe erection of a Union passenger depot by the Seaboard Air Line and tbe Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley roads. They will doubtless build a neat-and comfortable structure. Tbe travel through Maxton is large, and much complaint is made of the present accommodations, i The increase in the cotton acreage in this section over last year is about ten per cenL The crop is about two weeks later than last year. The cut-worm has caused bad stands cf corn. This is to be regretted too, for the increased number of horses and mules bought this season nas already created a market for corn and forage. ., .
