Mon day afternoon Bam Puipps, of Ashe county, was killed by a man named rlamby. near tha tnn r,f ih. - ' . w vi wa, Man luuuuwiU) on the Wllkefcboro-Jefferaon roau. The story of the killing was brought here vj mail earner Roby Owena, and was essentially as follows: Sam Phippa, a horse jockey, who had ueeu attending court at Wllkesboro. was returning home Monday and had' agreed to take Hambv and hia -iif wna mm in his surrey. Hamby was irom Asne county and had been visit ing relatives in North Wllkesboro. un the way the two men hecama in. volved iu a quarrel over some trivial matter (the hour at which they would. roacu jenerson, it is thought), and ruiuuis reacnea ror , : h i nta. toi, according to the report. Seeing his movement, Hamby, who occupied the seat behind Phlpps, drew a knife and, reaching around the shoulder of tne man in front, cut his throat. So deadly was the wound that the victim did not move from his place, but died almost instantly. Vp to Tuesday noon the inauest had not been held, and the body was still in tne driver s seat of the surrey awaiting examination. it is not tnought that the man- slayer and his victim had any grudge against each other, and the general opinion is that the tragedy was the re sult of drinking on the part of one or both men. Hamby is now In Jail at Jef- ierson awaiting preliminary hearing, North Wllkesboro. Aug. 21. The following facts have been learned of the killing of Sam Phipps near Ore Knob, Ashe county, last Tuesday morning. Phipps lived about two miles south of Jefferson and was kil ed by Henderson Hamiby. whose home is about six miles east of Jefferson. It is generally believed that liquor was responsible for the tragedy. Hamby was arrested and placed in jail at Jefferson Tuesday! morning after the crime and stated that the killing occurred about midnight, and admit ted that he committed the crime. He claimed that Phipps was drinking and owing to the late hour of the night. ne, wire ana cmidren, who were being conveyed from ' this place to their home near Jefferson, in a sur rey, driven by Mr. .Phipps, became tir ed of riding and wanted to walk. Mrs. Hamby tried to get out and Phipps endeavored to prevent it, but she fin ally Jumped out with two children. Hamby contends that he then started to get out, when Phipps took hold ot him in an effort to keep him in the carriage; that when Phipps made an effort to get a knife or gun from his pocket, he cut his throat with a kufe Phipps evidently lived only a few minutes after the cutting. Hamby and his family left the carriage and the dead man in the road, and next morning made known the killing. It is learned that people passing the road just east of the old mines at Ore Knob Tuesday morning saw . the carriage in the edge of the road, and the dead body of Mr. Phipps in a sit ting position on the driver's seat, with his face In his hands, where he was left for some time pending the Inves tigation of a coroner. It seemsathat no one witnessed the horrible murder except the wife and three small children of Hamby, as it occurred in the dead hours of the night on a long, lonesome road. Hamby made onlvi a few statements about the matter. A report has been received here that Hamby was taken from the Jail at Jefferson to be transferred to soma place of safe keeping in Tennessee, and that while he was on the way un der guard of several officers, was shot from ambUBh and had died from the wound received. The person or per sons responsible for this deed are said to have escaped. No reason was giv en for the removal of the prisoner from the Jefferson Jail and the ac count of the shooting was rather vague and uncertain.. Very .little credence is given -any of the reports here.

The Macedonian campaign itself does not yet seem to have developed an engagement ot first rate magni tude but there is activity along the 150 mile fighting front with success es claimed by eacn aide at, various points. " In allied quarters .there Is said to be no apprehension telt that the plan of Gen. Farrail, the allied command er, will be Interfered with by the German and Bulgarian attacks. They, however, are 'reported to be disquiet ed over the advance of the Bulgar ians toward Kavala, the Greek sea port east of the allied front, and the southward move of the , Bulgarians which resulted in the occupation ot Fiorina.

Italian troops -began to disembark at Saloniki yesterday, says a Havas dispatch from that point. Active preparation by Italian troops in the Saloniki campaign means the existence of a state ct war between Germany and Italy. Germany is directing the operation against the allies on this front and has forces there. Seme Aus trian troops are also ' probably ! employed and possibly Turks, but the greater portion of the army is made up of Bulgarians. f ' As the allies are believed to have a force ot some 700,000 British, French and Serbian troops on the Saloniki front, the ; sending ot additional troops ' at this time would indicate that the ", allies have embarked on a cam paign ot extensive proportions. Italy, which has a considerable ! surplus ot troops, has been urged to take a more active part In the Balkan operations, but was be- lleved to have retrained on ao- count of the tact that aha was not ; at war With Germany. There have been recent indications, bow ever, that a declaration of hostil 'itles was forthcoming. Italians Hold Ground Won, Rome, (via London), Aug. 21.
