Colonel Morris Wright ,nd Richard Cuney, were killed, and Alfred Blanchard, grand- .,hw nf the present Louisiana hif pvputive. and Colonel Jim tUlti. Bowie were wounded. The statement of Dr, Maddox, which will serve to put the histor . in its true light, is as follows: "Some difnculty occurring b-ween myself and Genera! M.mtfcrt Wells, induced Samue L. Wells to send me a very r!ve carte blanche, which 1 accepted as a challenge, and was acreed that we should meet at Natchez and settle the matter which we did on September 18 1--27.

Where- upon I waived my right and accepted his terms, which were: To stand left side to left side, and at th4 word 'Prepare' we were to ra'sfc our pistols in an opposite direction from each other, and at th. word 'Fire' we were to tire as e chose, "1 fired across my oreast.

James Bowie and J-ff Wells came running towards us, General Cuney saying o Colonel Crain that this wasatrojd time to settle their difScalties, he, Cuney and Bowie drawing their pistols. Colonel Crain s i v at a glance how things stood, therefore he opened fire and shot General Cuney through the breast. Colonel Crain, after shootiug: at Bowie, who had a1 so shot at him, found Bowie him with bis farrioas kaife in his hand; and when within reach Crain struck him ever the bead with the empty pistol and brought him to his knes. There were two killed and two wounded out of thy twelve persons engaged m the conflct not, as has been erroneously stated by some writer?, six killed and fifteen wounded. And this was the end of that memorable affair, the 'sand bar flight.'" Williams Has Inside of Race. News & Observer, Washington, D. C Sept, 18. The indications are that John fcharpe Williams will be the eader of the minoritv part v in' the House in the Sixtieth Con gress, but the fact has developed that the opposition Jto his continued direction of the affairs of his party on the floor has not been abated as the result of his ... - M nomination in the Mississippi Senatorial primary to succeed Senator Money. It was thoaght that Mr, Williams' victory over Governor Vardaman in the Senatorial primary would put an end to this opposition, but such is not the case- Representative James T, Lloyd, of Missouri, the Democratic whip in the House, who has arrived in the city, has made known the fact that the a . ft m TY . a, opposition to -air, vv iiiiams' re election as minority leader is more determined than ever. Mr, Lloyd confirms the report that Representative De Armond, of his State, will be a candidate to succeed Mr, Williams, and that he will have the backing of the solid Missouri delegation, mr. l3 Armona nas iriends in nearly all the State delegations, and his vote on the first ballot. if he continues in the race unti the finish, will not be a small one by any means. The friends o: Mr. Williams tfaim that they have a majority oi the Democrats in the House pledged to him Both sides made a poll of the House prior to the adjournmen of Congress this spring, and the opinion was then that Mr Williams had the best of it in the fight for leadership. 1WP THE ENTERPRISE WANTS 500 :NEW SUBSCRIBERS, AND o got them during the next two months, offers as prizes THREE EREE TRIPS to the Jamestown Exposition.

J, C. Smith Vice Pres. and fA, H, The Farmer's and Merchants Bank, The friends of Mr. De Armond claim that Mr. Williams is no sufficiently aggressive in his eadership. They charge him with being too easy going in his relations with Speaker .Cannon, and that a more vigorous policy is needed to combat the opposi tion. Mr- De Armond and his friends are declaring for constructive policies, as dis-1 tinguished from those advanced by the Republicans, which the Democrats could call their own. It has been charged that Mr. Williams has not been friendly to Mr. Bryan, but this question will hardly enter into the contest. Representative Crawford, of North Carolina, who was asked about the question or electing a minority leader, expresses the opinion that M. VVilliams would ho ihA r.ertain choice of House Democrats.

But it should bts said in McAnnally's behalf that he was but imitating other per sons, and some newspapers, here in North Carolina who are in the habit of charging, by insinuation more or less direct, that those who do not agree with them about certain matters are corrupt or under corrupt influence, This doesn't excuse McAnnally but if an example is to be made of these people it might be as well to begin with a more conspicuous exam ple. m it, Aioaa in the county cour Nelson Morris, the millionaire " , t m f CVlfa crr TirV.fl died nouse.
