LIT? '?K QV A Mn'AP TV JAMES P. COOK - - Editor Concord. Cababrus COUKTY, N. C. THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1895. e nave Heard much in tbe last two -years about ring-rule and bosses. Everything done in the present Central Assembly at Raleigh is done by the sanction of Mr. Marion Butler. He is the one great dicta tor and sapreme rnler. Whatever is done by the Legislature will reflect the sentiments of Butler. Pritchard will be the Republican Senator just so sure as a vote is reached why, just because it is Butler's wish. This man Butler wields more in flaenca in North Carolina today than did the late Senator Vance in his palmiest days. Yet everybody knows that Bntler is not to be com f 1 - XT i. There are men in this county who would do anything at the command of Butler. In this respect Mr. Butler is the greatest liyiBg North Caro linian. He is to a class of people a God. Let him be. We just want to say that blather skites need not talk about BoBsism hereafter. THE PEJCITaWTIART AFFAIRH. During the past two years, under Hon. A Leazar's management as Superintendent of the penitentiary, there has been expended in addition to the receipts $12,500 a year for its Bupport. There is now a debt of $14,188 due by the penitentiary. If the Legislature should make an appropriation to pay this debt, as re commended, the penitentiary would cost the tax-payers exactly $39,188 for two years a trifle less that $20 000 a year. Against this amount due, there are crops and other re Bourcea on hand amounting in value to $44,207.65. These figures show that in spite of the unprecedent floods of 1893 d the great depreciation in the products jn 1894, the ijjary is yearlj coming nearer nearer to aseff tfUYiywtj, t for the floods anojjwriow price . ,i m not have coat the tax-pavers ftat the cast two vears. In all the farms have paid, and the expense above support, has been in the building at Raleigh where the life prisoners and worn-out convicts are confined. In 1885'6, the appropriation for the penitentiary amounted to $135, 000 a year. This was gradually re duced until 1891 and 1892, under CoL Faieon the appropriation was $37,500 annually. It is now $12 500 annually. While a member of the Legislature .Mr. Leazar was on of the most earnest advocates of the policy of making the penitentiary tielf-sup-iporHug which as Superintendent, he is carrying out. The Governor's commendation of his efficient labors is well desaiyed. The State has no better offical. Raleigh News. SENATOR BtlXER.

This morning about 10 o'clock, a vpung woman, veil dressed and of prepossessing appearat.ee, entered .the Racket store and called for Mr. John DeLane, a clerk in tbe estab lishment. She was in the millinery department, and when Mr, DeLane came up, she ha3 a few words with him. She had a parcel in her hands, wrapped in a newppaper. Those in the vicinity of the couple heard the laay denounce Mr. Deliane as a scoundrel, and then she quickly erked a cowhide from the wrapper she held in her hands, and upait the young man eeveral brisk blows over the-head before he could retreat The woman with the cowhide then left the store. The assailant of Mr. DeLane was Miss May Hirt, a native of South Carolina. Mr. DeLane had been engaged; to her, but had broken the engagement. He met her seven years ago in Charleston, S. C, when he was cleric there in a branch store of Mr. W J Dayis, and it was a case of loye at first sight. They were engaged, and Miss Hirs came to Charlotte about 5 years ago. Shortly after she arrived here, Mr. DeLane broke his engagement whh her. She then consulted lawyers with a view of bringing a suit of breach of promise against DeLane, all of which was set forth in the News at the time. Things quieted down then for a time, but it appears that the matter between Miss Hirt and Mr. DeLane had rot .been adjusted al together, at least not to the saMsfae tion of Miss Hirt. The immediate cause of the trouble today was an anonymous letter of an insulting natuie that Miss Hirt received, and which she claims, DeLane wrote her. DeLane denies that he either wrote the letter or knew anything of it. A News re porter was sent to Miss Hirt's home. The young lady was absent, but her mother detailed the story of her daughter's grievance. She refused to give a copy of the letter, and threat ened The News with a suit of libel if it published anything she said. In answer to a question, that the amount she would sue for would be $25,000. Mr. DeLane positively says that he did not write the letter that ex cited Miss Hirt's ire. Miss Hirt's mother says that the letter is in Lane's handwriting. Both J Hirt and her mother refuse show the letter. Hiss Kirt lays it is too indecent fir publication. ' Tit crse i? ill bf; tried by Mayor Brevard 4omorrow morning. Char lotte News.

T to I TILLMAN AND EVANS SHOOT A Rcpbew of tbe Ex-Gonernoa, and a Brother of tbe Present Governor Nettle an Old dlffienlty With Pontoln There Was no Politic Involved A Flutter Over the State. Columbia, S. C, Jan. 15. At Edgefield yesterday afternoon in tbe narrow confines of Attorney G Mc Uowan Simpkins' law office, two young men, members of the closely allied and politically powerful families of Tillman and Evans, fought an impromptu dnel, dis charging their pistols at each other three times etch, and shedding one another's blood. The news of the affair did not reach any point until today. Fortunately neither of the men are seriously injured. One of the young men was Captian James H Tillman, a nephew of the exGover- nor and -son of exsCongressman George D Tillman, formerly tbe cierk of the congressional committee on patent?, and the other was the youngest brother of Governor Evans Banard B Evans, an insurance agent. There .has been bad blood be tween the two yeung men for oyer a j ear. it began at a german given during the holidays of 189394 in Edgefield by the clno of which Evans was president and Tillman a member. Both claimed to haye been insulted by the other. Tbe feeling has grown intense during the year, first one thing and then another ads ding fire to tbe flame. The men were brought together in the office by Mr. Simpkins. Tillman owed Evans a note. He had paid all but a small amount, when Evans placed it in Simpkins' hands, telling him to bricg Buit. Tillman stated that this was unnecessary, as he was willing to settle it if Evans were present. Mr. Simpkins went to Evans, telling him Tillman insisted that he should be present, and say ing Tillman was waiting at his office. Evans mentioned the intense feeling, and said it were better that they bhould not meet. Finally he went. It seems that Tillman referred the old trouble, saying insulted by Evans. was another matter. felt insulted, satisfaction office said Each claims that the other fired first. Eyans' friends claim that Tillman shot directly at Euan's head. Tillman's friend3 claimed that Evans fired at Tillman while his back was partly turned, the bullet entering the rear part of the cheek and coming out at the chin. Tillman's first ball entered Evans' arm. The second shots were fired simultaneously, Tillman's piercing Eyans' left breast, glancing around the body and lodg ing under the shoulder blade, while Eyans: ball entered Tillman's right hand and ranged np the arm. The third and last shots were fired close together, Tillman's buliet entering Eyans hat at the head ; had not Evans dodged the shot would have been fatal. Evan's last bullet punc tured Tillman's trousers. Evans' brother. N G Evans, was in the next room. He ran in. One story is to the effect that he fired twice as he came. Governor Evans has gone to Edgefield. Tillman stood in front of the office after he came out and stated that Evans tried to shoot him in the back. Evms is said to be in bed with physicians probing for the ball in his shoulder. Tillman is at his ofhee and going about as usual today. There was no politics in it at alL The affair has caused quite a flutter of excitement all over the State. Journalistic Preliminary. "Got any cannons in this establish ment?" asked a tall, handsome young man of a clerk in one of the hardware stores in this city yester day; the firm didn't have cannons in their stock and the clerk told him bo. "Got some big guns, ain't you ?" He was shown tbe largest. 'Gimme four of 'em." The clerk set them aside. "Now, lemme see your pistols." He was shown through the entire stock. After selecting tour of Golfs largest size he asked to see some swords, dirks, stilettos, brass knuck les end slungshots. Of course he bought liberally. After the clerk had made out the bill he congratulated the purchaser on his theatrical outfit as far fire arms were concerned. "Why, 1 ain't In the show busi ness," said .the stranger, "I am go ng down to Kentucky to start a newspaper in the interest of Brrcks inndge's candidacy for the United States Senate."
