Two negroconvicts, Ed. Mc
Kinney, and ijjranK jiidge, were
killed Wednesday mom in er on
Hbe rtucupikenear the camps.
A blast 'had fbeen nil 1 4n -and
the squad was being marched
tout. of the way. Arthur Fores
ter, one ot the guams, was m
.front and the two negroes at
tacked him from behind and
threw him to the ground and
were choking him and trying
to get his gun. Johnson, -the
guard behind, saw something
was wrong and ordered the
convicts to lay down. This
they obeyed and Johnson -.at
Lonce saw the serious situation.
He was &Q to 75 yards xaway,
but aw that he must act at
once, lie tared ana i&ciunney
ell dead with a bullet through
his head. Forester released
himself from the other .negro
and fired, the shot tearing off
the fleshy part of tha awn.
The negro, not satisfied, picked
.up an ax ana .made toward
Forester who emptied the oth
er barrel of buck shot into the
negrce's breast, and he eoon
lay dead.
It was a qally time for the
guards, and but qt their ool
prompt action, another tale
would be to tell.
McKinney was from Shelby

murder. Edge was from
Southport and was in for seven

of them, but refrain, and they
are boys whom some of the pa

nothing more than trimming
toe nails for seed ticks..
Merchants should be alert
for the, fall and winter trade.
This can be done most success
fully by constant and judicious
advertising. Let the people
know what you have; attract
them with bargains in goods
they .want and need, and when
they come, do towards them as
your advertisement states,
have the goo.dsjof the quality
and price you advertise. Don't
promise things you can't or do
not intend doing and then if'
you fail to trade say "it does
no good to advertise." Tne
advertising judiciously done
will attract customers but it
wont sell the goods unless, you
have the goods you advertise
and the kind the Customer
wants. The advertising helps
the merchants to attract peo
ple; the merchant must do the
rest. It's the advertiser -who
does what he -advertises that
succeeds. Those who do not
advertise are behind the time.s
und are sort of "CQwbuncles"'
on progress, content pick up
crumbs dropped from . the ta
bles of " those who advertise,
put their shoulders1 to the
wheels and push forward. It
is absolutely necessary in or
der to draw trade to yourself
or your V town to advertise.
