MARRIAGES. Huggiii-H.uuill . Mr. Luiuer Elbert HiiKgins ami Mls Beulah Grace H.iniiltoti were married WednesJay i-vmln at i:30 o'clock at the home of the brides parents, Prof, nnd Mrs. OC. Ibmiil ton, at I'tiionville. Rev. A. J. Crane performed the marriage service. The wedding was attended by a very few friends and near relatives of the contracting parties. Immediately after the cervmony Mr. and Mrs. Hngglns carao to .Monroe and left for M.irehend City where they will spend several days. The bride is a most attractive and cultured young lady. She has had splendid opportunities and has taken advantage of them all. Every one who knows her Is her friend. Mr. Muggins is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

He is a traveling sales man for the Heath-Morrow Company ot Monroe, and is a man of fine character and is popular with ull who know hlui. , (. f.i niiiionil for I'r isi-cullng Attorney. In reading the list of candidates for county offices. we notice that al though the primary will soon bo here no one has yet announced himself for proesoutlng attorney of the Re corder's court. Since it is the duty of this office to prosecute crime and lawlessness, the diligence with which the office Is filled determines largely tho peace and order in the county. Then-fare It la vitally Important that some good man should come out for the place. Mr. W. O. Lemiuond is a young man of sterling character, who has recently been admitted to the Mon roe bar nnd would be An ideal man for this office. Tho prosecuting attorney must be a man who knows the law, and who is able to prosecute with ability. .Mr. Lemmond is nciiuniuled with tho law, nnd his ability at the bar, for a young man is not excelled, lie should bo a man who Is diligent at his work, ho should bo on the look out for offences, and bring all vio lations of the law before the conn. Mr. Lemmond Is energetic, and does his work with enthusiasm. Finally It Is Important that the prosecuting attorney should know conditions, and the people In every I part if the county. Mr. Lemmond ! knows the people of I'nlon county and the people know him. We urge that Hunk Lemmond con sent to run for prosecuting attor ney of the Recorder's court. MANY VOTERS. Mi.

The second or third case of ty phoid fever In a home occurring three weeks after a physician took charge of the first or primary case raises the question as to whether the physician has performed his full duty in protecting that family against the disease, for the proba bility Is that the second and third case came from the same source as the first case, or was contracted by carelessness in the nursing of the first case. The attending physician's first duty is to find the source cf disease and remove It; his second duty to teach the family how to live with the disease and not contract it; his third duty Is to look after his patient.

When they burled back to find the cause of the pistol shot they found the happy sister of only a moment before lying prostrate with Chunn ordering them back at the point of a revolver. Before their eyes Ii3 turned the gun upon hlm st If and ended a tragedy which a minute later was flyiug over the city like wildfire. PEOPLE Rl'SII TO SCENE. Hundreds of people rushed to thejvention arrangements, said that Mr. scene of the terrible affair and ru- Roosevelt had not applied for a seat, mors were thick and ns varying as "If he does apply we will do the March winds. Both Miss Roueche hest we can for him." said Colonel and Chunn were popular and of well known and splendid families. To practically every one in Salisbury iio history of their courtship was known, hence the excitement was all the inoiv intense the personal in terest at t'evtT heat. From tli-.- mass of intangible and Improbable rumors the facts were learned that Miss Buruai'ette and Miss llorteiise Rouche, accompanied by Cliunu and liable, respectively, at tetded the Catholic church tonight. After service and returning home Miss Buniad-'tt suggested that they go by I'ncle Jo's, meaning J. X. Rouuche, whose residence is at 7 IS Railroad street. Af'er greeting the Roueche family tho party sat on the porch, the two couples occupying op posites sides of the porch. It was suggested that they go to the home tel. They bore Aloft a banner which of the girl's mother, Mrs. Margaret i read: "California refuses to try tl Roueche, 425 Main street, Miss Hor- tie to property before the thief who tense, however, asking that they "rob It." And on the reserve side: wait until she could get a drink of I Hole Jo's coid well water. Willi Gable she went around the corner of the house to the well. They had been gone but a minute before the first report of a pistol was heard. "GET BACK," ORDERED CHLNN. Gable, with Miss llortense closely behind him, rushed toward the porch Mid a moment later the latter fell back in horror an.l In fear had turned towards them, limtin leveling bis pistol. "Get back" he ordered. Cable Htont.ed back toward the1 JTJZ corner of tho - " temple and fired, lie toppled across the prostrate body of his girl vie - ti:n, death being iilmo-tt insitanteous in each instance. .Miss Roueche bad been shot through the breast.

The news spread like wildfire nnd In a few minutes hundreds were on tho settle. The body of the girl was removed inside of the house of the uncle and later to the mother's home.

To friends Miss Roueche declared that she and Chunn were merely good friends, that she liked him, but not the right sort of way to marry. She confided to the sister, however, that Chunn had told her thnt If she didn't marry him he would kill her. Neith er of the young women considered the threat seriously, especially so since there had been nothing un usual about the demeanor of Chunn during the past few days This afternoon Chunn made an cm gagement for himself and Gable to take the young ladles to church. The supposition is that once alone h" made a second proposal nnd that wben refused he fired. Neither Mr. Gable nor Miss llortense Roueche had noticed anything unusual in the conduct of the young man during the evening. In fact, he appeared in good spirits and was laughing when the sister stepped off the porch to get a drink of water. Miss Roueche was 19 years of age and was a stenographer in the em ploy of the Salisbury Realty and In surance company. She was a young woman of more than ordinary beau ty, talented and generally admired for her lovable disposition and charming personality. The widowed mother tonight is almost prostrated by her sudden and tragic bereave ment, while the sister Is also In a precarious condition from the shock and grief. Frank D. Chunn, too, was well known and popular. He was 23 years of ace ai.d n s;.n of Mrs. 1'loriiHNi Chunn. of Asheville. and a i tpbew of .Mi- Sal.ie aed Maggie CtiUi.ii tf this city.

"Cali fornia's twenty-six votes were cast for us At the primaries and will he counted ns such. Look at that sign over there. "This is a fight of honesty against dishonesty, of honesty against theft. The people have spoken and the politicians, dead or Alive, will be made to understand that they are the servants and not the masters of the rank and file of the plain people of the Republican party. "The people will win. We have won in every state where the peo ple could express themselves, 3to 1 and sometimes 8 to 1. They are stronger with us now than they were then. Many are with us who were not with us at the time of the primaries, because men will not tole rate brazen theft. This Is a naked fight between corrupt politicians and thieves and the plain people, and the thieves will not win." .The Journal Is requested to say that the Ladies' Aid 8ociety of He bron church in west Monroe town ship, will meet at six o'clock Fri day afternoon, and that they will serve cream and other refreshments from eight to ten, to which the pub lic is invited.
