Pnyne. Special to The Standard : Lexington, N. C, Feb. 25. Mr. Baxter Shemwell, t prominent and wealthy business man of this place, shot and instantly killed Dr. Ro'-ert L Payne, Sr., this morning at 11:30 o'clock. The facts coni.ected with the shoo ing of Dr. Payne are : It is understood thai there has been some bitter feeling between Mr. Shemwell and i r. R L Payr.e, Jr., growing out of a rivalship between the two drug stores in which each has an interest. Oa Saturday night the parties named had soon Lot worcs in a barber shop here, and this morning as Mr. Shemwell was coming down to his store and in passing Dr. Payne's ofBce the quarrel was re newed. Shemwell went on up town and armed himself and it is supposed Dr. Pavne did the same. Matters then grew even hotter, when three or four shots followed, at or near Dr. Payne's office. Nobody was near by when the. shooting took ptece be tween the two young men. Dr. R L Payne, Sr., the murdered man, then took a hand in the affair. Soon after then the parties were taken to the court house and ar ranged bifora Justice Mojer, who placed tlftm under a $200 peace bond It was then thought that the matter was at an end, but not so. Drs. Payne started on their way to their office. Shemwell, i fter the apse of some minutes, told the crowd, as we have it, that he was going on home. When the Drs. Payne were near their office, some one cried out "Look out, Doctor, Shemwell is ctming," and at that instant Dr. Payne,Sr., wheeled around iG-Icok, and the next iiniife Mr. Shemwell had fired two shots into his breast from a pistol. Dr. Payne was carried to his office, and expired about twenty minutes afterwards. Mr. Shermwell wa3 taken in hand by the officers and immediately placed in jail to await his trial. This was indeed the Faddest trag edy ever enacted in Lexiugcu. Dr. Taycc was known far &;.d wide and was the oldest, and u 6. physician in this place. Mrs. Shemwell, who is present with her husband, is almost crazy with grief. Dr. R L Payne, Sr , was a brother to Rey.

The news from Lexington is practically the same as that the Standand gave out Mondaj eyening- The reporls in the Charlotte Ob server and by private source put no other color on the unfortunate af fair. The report we had wa3 a special, sent by a discreet and truthful gentlemen of L xington. And the Standard felt sure of giving to our readers a report reliable in eyery way. We have seen several reports that there was talk of summary punish, ment being yisited upon Mr. Shun well. In this we do not Lelieve. That county has had enongh siich sensation, besides there are two sides, both of which a discreet and law abiding public wiil -naturally want, the courts to investiga'e - There bns been some bad feelings for tome time. Young Dr. Buchanan has had to suffer some iuconvenier.ee on account of eome charges prefer red by young Dr. Payne. Di. Buchanan and Shemwell are in terested in on 3 drug store, while the Drs. Payne are alike interested in another. The public does not know jnst w bat has -been eaid or done, which has wrought a feverieh heat. Of course the act is deplorable and shonld not have occurred; yet men, in wrath and goaded to frenzy, have before dene wrong things and things they afterwards suffered for and regretted. For this. reason the Davidson, people will not lose their heads and take the life of one now in the custody of the lafor. , , Ti.at if you advertise with as the people will know what you have to OR MATT W. RANSOM dominated . and immediately Con. firmed by Unanimous Vote of the Senate as Minister to Mexico His Political Career. " ''Washington, February 23 The President today sent to the Senate the nomination cf Senator Matt W Ransom, of North Carolina, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Uniied F'a'es to Mexico. Immediately after the nomination cf Senator Ransom was received Senator Blackburn moved an executiye session and the nomi nation wasforth with taken up and confirmed by the unanimous vote cf the Senate. The motion to confirm was made by Senator Sherman, who, in making the motion addressed the Sena'e brit fly as to the fi mess of the nomination, which, he said, was in every way deterving and appro priate He referred to Senator Uantcm's long term of service ia the Senate , and said tbtt through his never failing courtesy and kind heartednesp, Senator Ransom Had won the esteem, as though hid ability, character and devotion to the public welfare, he has earned the respect ol all his colleagues, in the Senate. When the vote was taken there was a general response in the affirmative. The executiye session lasted live minutes. Senator Ransom made his tscape to his committee room when the executive eession was moved and fas not present duiing the executive proceedings. Senator Ransom has been in the Senate since April 14, 1872 and has long been one of the popular mem bers of that body, so that ic wa3 with pleasure that his associates took oc casion to confirm the nomination eo quickly. He 13 a nati re of North Carolina, born in Warren county in 1S2G. He received an academic education, graduating from the University of Noith Carolina in 1847, and was admitted to the bar the same year. He is a lawyer and planter, and prior to enterng na tional politics held a number of offices of trist in hi3 native State. He has been re elected to the .Senate three time3 and hi3 term of service expires March 3 d next. He was first jelected to the Senate to fill the term to which Z B Vance hsd been elected, but which he was not allowed to fill because his war disabilities had not been removed and the fact is now pleasantly rc called by cenator Vance's friends that Senator Ransom devoted him self zealously during the early part of his Senatorial career to securing the removal of the bar which had been created against Senator Vance. It is also recalled by some that Senator Ranasm divided bis first years saiary with fcenator V ance During LU career in the Senate he has kept wpII abreast of public af fairs. He has from the first held high committee places and is now chair man of the Committee cn Commerce one of the most important of the Senate committees. Notwithstanding the fact that he served through the war on the Con federate side, Senrtcr Rtnsom first made himself prominent as a peace advocate in ante bellum days, and he attended the Montgomery peace convention iu 18G1 as a delegate from North Carolina. He was in those days a Whig, but since the war has affiliated with the Demo cratic party. During the war he filled in succession the grades of lieutenant colonel, colonel, brig adier general and major general, which latter rank he held when he surrendered with Lee at Appsmattox. He participated in many important eugagemectp, in tome or which he was in command. 'Je was especially noted for the care he took of his men. The salary of the Mexican mission is $17,500, Senator Ransom is admirably equipped for any diplomatic mission. He has served in the Senate for nearly four consecutive term?, is a born diplomat, speaks French and Spanish, and is thoroughly at home in the Greek and Latin classics. He is C8 years of age, but is strong and active. He last fall made a most viaorous campaign cf his Stat.-, speaking neary every day and often trayeling all night For twelve years he has been a member of the Nttional Democratic and the National Executive committees.

The negro they were after gave them the dodge, but finding another resembling somewhat the man they wanted anu supposing him to be their meat, be gan carving him at a terrible rate. The negro had .one of his eyes cut out, besides receiving other cuts and bruises. They Have All Lied.
