Dreadful AfTatr In Lexington, In
Which Dr. Payne Is Killed.
Lexington, X. C.Mor. day morning
about 11 o'clock Mr. Baxter Shemwell
shot and almost infetantly killed Dr. II.
L. Payne, Sr. on the btreet.
There seems to have been an un
friendly feeling existing between Mr.
Shemwell and the Drs. Payne, and
nfortunately Dr. R. L. Pavne, Jr.,
aud Mr. Shemwell met in a barber hhop
Saturday night when some eharp words
ere passed. About 8 o'clock Monday
morning while coming up the street I
near the doctors office Mr. Shemwell
was met by Dr. Payne, Sr., and words
quickly lead to blows, the drawing of
pistols, and the exchange of ten or a
dozen pistol balls, but no serious ilam-
ge was done. Dr. R. L. Payne, Jr.,
appeared in the meantime and
participated in the affray.
W arrants were issued and the three
men taken before Esquire Mayer who
bound them in bonds of $200 each, for
their appearance at the Superior
Court. When the proceedings were
over Drs. Payne, Sr. and J r. , walked
together toward their office on Main
street, three blocks South of the court
house. When within half a block of
their office they were overtaken by
Mr. Shemwell, who was very near them
before they appeared to know of his
presence, and just as Dr. Payne, Sr.,
turned to face him Mr. Shemwell fired,
the ball entering the right breast and
severing the large artery near the
heart, causing death in a few minutes,
but he seized hold of Shemwell and
they both fell from the sidewalk into
the 6treet. Mr. Shemwell was goin
toward his home when he overtook
Dr. Payne.
Feelintr ran hiah for a time and
there was some talk of summary pun
ishment, and were it not forShemwell's
family and prominent kinsfolk, Lex
ineton mieht have been the scene of
another lynching.
Dr. Tavne was about 00 veats of age,
and favorably know n all over the State.
He was a large man, six feet high, and
weighed about 250 pounds, good, kind-
hearted and a perfect gentleman.
Shemwell is about .'J5 years of acre, of
medium height, and has been in several
shooting scrapes. He was taken t
jail to await trial.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
That friendship is stronger than the
ties of partisan politics is a fact well
known in Washington, if not in all
sections of the country. An instance was
given when Senator Voorhees, one of
the most partisan of Dcmocrats,escort
ed Senator Wilson, Washington's new
Republican Senator, to the Vice Presi
dent s desk, to be sworn in as a mem
ber of the Senate, and it was made
more impressive to many by the know
ledge that it was Senator Voorhees who
gave Senator Wilson his first fetart as a
politician, by getting him appointed
receiver of a government land office in
the territory of Washington. Senator
Voorhees was about forty years ago de
feated in a Congressional election by
the father of Senator Wilson. Senator
Wilson cast his first vote in the Senate
the same way that his personal friend
and political opponent, Mr. Voorhees,
did for silver.
President Cleveland sent to the Sen
ate the nomination of Matt. W. Ran
som, Senator from North Carolina,
whose term expires Manfc 4, to be
Minister to Mexico, and he was at once
unanimously confirmed by that body.
The mission to Mexico was raised,
four years ago, to one of the first class,
and since it was so raised it has K-en
regarded as the most desirable of all
the foreign appointments. The salary
is $17.00 per year in American money
in Mexican money (Mexico being on
a silver basis) it is Stto.OOO. The cost
of living in the City of Mexico is cheap
compared with that in London or
Paris, where the salary of the Ameri
can minister is the same as that in Mex
ico, and while the ministers to the two
courts first named must live up to and
often beyond their salaries, there is
opportunity at the latter for a saving
of a good part of the iu.-ome.
It is generally accepted s irne now
that Postmaster General Bissell will
leave the Cabinet in aKiut two months,
and that his place will be filled by Rep
resentative Tracey, of Albany. Secre
tary Carlisle, it is said, would not re
ject to Justice Jacksou's seat on the
Supreme Court bench. Judge Jackson
wishes to retire aud a bill is pending

Highly intelligent Citizen.
Raleigh, N. C. Some information
has been brought out as to how so many
poor students get through the State
Universitv at Chapel HilL and thd
following facts have been learned:
During the past two years it has
loaned 3.i49.25 from the Deems
Fund, thereby aiding 55 needy stud
ents.
During the past 20 years it has aided
about 800 needy young men by loana
or scholarships.
It is now giving free tuition to 129
students, who could not otherwise b
educated. Of thew forty t wo are pre-
rmrincr to teach. Fully one-third of
the students in the University afe aided
by loansj scholarships or labor, and
over one-third are supporting them
selves by money which they themselves
have earned or have been forced to
borrow. The spirit of self-help is
strong at the University that thirty
three students, even while pursuing
their studies, are at the same time sup
porting themselves wholly or in part
by labor. They manage boarding
clubs, set tvpe, work in laboratories,
6erve as stenographers and type-writ
ers, sell books and clothing, give
private instruction to other students,
teach classes in the village, cleric in
the stores and do many other kinds of
work. The following brief statements,
prepared by theyoung men themselves,
will give an idea of the spirit of
economy that prevails at the University,
as well as the spiritof self-reliance that
enables so many poor boys to get i
University education. It is not ex
