LETTER FROM MR. ALLISON. Tells of His Visit to Atlantic City. Finds North Carolina Preparation For Mosquito Being Sold There. Editor Tribune: I have had a nioe stay here, though I have met very few acquaintances. We Tiad quite a storm here Sunday night that did. considerable damage and the next day the land breeze set in and brought swarms of mosquitoes and very cool weather. On- Jrtnnday we were on the board walk and stopped to make a purchase. The mosquitoes wer so bad that my. wife asked the saleslady what to do to protect your self"' apainst them, she remarked that a good thing was being iold at the Exposition . building tor' anointing that drove them away. We wended our way to that place and found in a booth in that large building a man selling the -preparation. We bought a bottle and on the laboj was Jos. Sheppard, Wilmington, N. C I in troduced myself Xo the salesman, who was Mr. Sheppard himself, I called the, next-day 4 see hlnr aud he eays he is having fine sales with his Long Leaf Pine Tar preparations, and they are the very thing for Jersey mosquitoes and flies. I write this to show you that North Carolina keeps pushing to the front. I don't see much in the papers how crops and the weather are at home. Hope they are both good. JNO. P. ALLISON. WOMAN KILLS HE&v HUSBAND WITH OU5. V. 3. HartaeQ of Long Creek Victim of Hia Wife's Long PsnMTp Wrath Charlotte Observer, 26th. tn raged over cumulative domestic troubles which have continued for several years, Mrs. V. J. Hartsell twice shot and killed her husband at a a early hour yesterday morning from the doorstep of their home on the Catawba river in Lonir Creek township. - The woman fired the first shot with 36-ciJiber-pistol as her husband wa approaching the houst from a trip to his eataloupe patch. He was then about 15 yards from the door and fell to the ground when the ball struck him." Seeing that he started to rise after stumbling-front the first wound in the forehead, Mrs. Hartsell shot again, this time in the cheek, and then rushed upon the man with aij, axe, inflicting severe and fatal injuries. Despite the several wounds, any on of which would like ly have in the end proved fatal, Mr. Hartsell lived an hour in agonizing condition. ' edy seems to have been accumulating in intensity for some tfme and grew out of complicated domestic relations, as can best be learned. It seems that Hartsell, who was a man of about 55 years of age, married Mrs. Hartsell, then a widow, 30 years ago, taking into the family at that time her little daughter, who- is now nearly that age. It is reported that Hartsell is the father of the four children of this step-daughter who has lived in the family through all theso years and against whom no action was taken by the courts to prevent the aleged il legal relationships. The supposition is because the neighbors of the fam ily know nothing, except through re portsythat Mrs. Hartsell has been pleading with her husband to aban don this'wfiy of living and that they had quarreled. She made the state ment, after the tragedy yesterday, that her life had been threatened by her husband and that this is the basis according to her story, for her sud den action yesterday morning when without warning so far as anybody knows, she lifted the pistol and open ed tire on her husband as he ap proached the back door of the house.
