DISFRANCHISING THE -NEGRO.
The Constitutional Convention of
Louisiana was organized in New Orleans
taat Tuesday by the election of the Hon.
Ernes B. Kruttsdinitt as permanent
president. In accepting the high office,
Mr. Kruttsehnitt made an earnest ad
dress. The chief purpose of the Conven
tion is to provide a way for the regula
tion of the suffrage dn Louisiana'. Tnis
purpose has mob ibecn concealed, nno
none, except those who nre wilfully
blind to the public interest, questions the
right and duty of the Convention in the
premises. In speaking upon this ques
tion, Mr. Kruttschnitt said:
'Wly tfel'low-delegaites, let n not be
misunderstood! Let us say to the large
class of the people of Louisiana, wilio
will be disfranchised under any of the
proposed limitations of the suffrage, tlirni
What we seek to do is undertaken in a
spirit, not of hostility to any particular
men or bo6 of men, but in the belief that
the State should see to the protection
of the weaker ehisses; should pucd them
ugaiust the machinations of those who
would "use thorn only to further their
owin base ends; should1 see to it that
they be not allowed to harm themselves.
We owe it to the ignorant, we owe it
ta the weak, to jurotect them just ns
we would protect a little child anil pro
vent it from injuring itself with tsharp
edged tools placed in its bunds."
TO STOP TRAIN ROBBERS.

That's a pretty Tecord for a civilized

In the last eighteen years -18 trains
were held up wild 145 pnxtugors nnd

were killed. In Mexico last year there

AS IT REAIiLY WAS.
Since the limes htta printed the news
of the Hill-Duffy Scandal, we lire glad
to be able to print the authorized ne-
couiitcount ui the Ncwlieru Journal us
follows:
Nearly till the papers iu the State
have had long accounts of the shooting
affair that took place in this city on
Tuesday night. 1 lie true facts had bet
ter be given. They would have been
published by the Journal at once, 'but
for the request of mauy prominent peo
ple.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Tuesday night
the people of Eden street were startled
by a milliliter of pistol shots tired with
great rapidity. A moment after two
people came out from the rear entrance
of a residence fronting on George street,
and started north. This residence is
that owned mid occupied on George
street bv Mr. F. S. 'Duffy, and the
grounds run from George street hack to
Kdeu street. On coming into tuen
street the couple wont up the street a
short distance and then turned into the
first gateway. The man was half car
ried by his woman companion. The
neighbors followed them into the yard.
In the desire to shield the lady, a gen
tleman threw a. coat over her head and
she went back the way she had come
and re-entered the residence by the rear
gate.
The identity of the man became then
established. He was Tom Hill, a young
nmn of good appearance who has been
engaged lor a year at u. i. uradiiain s
drug store, and was known by all the
town. Mr. Hill was badly wounded iu
the risrht leg. it was at once seen. .Car
ried by friends deep pools of blood were
left on the ground. Hw was taken to
the office above Brailhani's drug store
and a number of physicians summoned
to care for him. Blue coated policemen
prevented the crowd surrounding the
stairway from going above.
An explanation showed that three 'balls
had entered the leg above the ankle.
AfterwuTds it was found that two shots
had passed through his coat sleeve. It
was thought that the leg must lie ampu
tated at once as the ibonio, was badly
shattered. Mr. Hill asked that His
father 1 sent for before it was done.
A six'cial train was sent to Gnldsbom
which returned at 7 o'clock in the morn
ing with Dr. Thomas Hill, the father of
the injured man and a prominent man
of Goldttboro of a family of high stand
ing. Ir. Hill decided to try to save his
son's foot and he was removed to bis
home on Pollock street. Yesterday
morning the wounded man was carried
on a cot to the A. anil N. ..'. train, which
stopped at Pollock street for .the purpose,
and he was taken to Goldslm'-n. Vaster
day afternoon he was rei
fairly well. '

under such circumstances.
Mr. Duffy notified Mr. Hill that h
could not come to his llioine. However
Air. Hill maintained that, ins intentions
wore honorable and that when he oh-
mined n oivorce, die wislieu to marrv
Mr. Duffy's sister to whom his atten
tions were being paid. Mr, Duffy, how
ever, absolutely forbid him to come to
the Jionne.
Last Tuesday the relations of Mr. Hill
with druggist C. D. Bradham were sev
ered, and he was to leave Newliern the
noil uay. no tneretore planned a
ciaiKiesune meeting wiui tne young
lady, which took -place in the rear of til
residence that evening after dark. This
yard is a handsome (lower garden and
has a regularly used gate which oikmis
tnrougJi a thigh fence on Eden street.
Mr.. V. S. Duffy, however, returned
from his drug store -while tho tryst was
occurring in the garden and missed the
young lady. He visited several houses
to find her 'but could not. He then went
to the foot of Eden street, to the new
1 rent river bridge, surmising that the
couple were together and thinking they
might be found there, Not finding any
trace, he returned by the rear gate on
Eden street nnd there he came upon the
young people, seated on a bench an I
conversing.
ine young lady stepped' forward, but
Mr. Duffy pushed her to one side and
going to Hill, he told him that he would
kill him nnd to defend himself if i
could. Who fired first in the darkness
and what was done or said in that trug-
1c moment even the combatantM could
not probably now recall, but lwth im'ji
were armed and were not afraid and
fought -at less than six feet. Not less
then ten shots were fired. Hill received
three in his leg and two went through
his coat. Duffy was wounded twice, once
in the lower leg and onee above the
knee, where the ball grazed the great
artery by a hair's 'breadth. Duffy's re
volver was emptied nnd lie turned bnck
to his house, declaring that he would
reload and return.
Aided by the nervy young woman and
hirflf carried by her away from the scone,
Hill finally reached medical care ns al
ready told. He refused absolutely to
say a word 'about the affair. He would
not tell anything by which even a guess
could at first be made. Hence nwiny
theories were Htartcd to account for the
case. But witlii several witnesses of tire
retreat nnd with another wounded nuin
under tho doctor's care, the facts grad
ually came to light.
These fucts are stated as above tm
gleaned from all those, in a position; to
know, with the exception of the two
immediately concerned in the stnnrirle.
They have made no direct statement for
publication.

TWO STILLS DESTROYED.
Deputy Collector Wiley Jones and itU
men captured and destroyed two moon
shine stills in Johnston county Thurs
day night. Botilii juioorios were in full
blast over one furnace and three white
men were operating theni. These ran
and though the officers chased them for
a mile or miore they were never able to
overtake them. One of the stills was
of 45 gallons capacity and the otilier of
t!5 gallows. iHjesidos cutting up the
stills the officers destroyed same barrels
low wines and upwards of a thousand
gallons of beer. The stills were about
twelve miles north of Selma.
