A SUNDAY TRAGEDY.
JoUn Nolan Shoots and
Wounds Met Wheeless.
Parties coming to town on
day morning brought the news
an unfortunate shooting affair
Sunday in the lower edge of
ton county, near Braswell.
The facts as given us by
living in that county are as
In that community live
young men—-John Nolan, son
Mr. J. K. Nolan, one of the
ty’s esteemed and highly
ed citizens, and Mr Met Wheeless.
On Sunday morning at
o’clock they were at the house of
negro on Mrs. McMahan’s place,
and according to reports, were
toxicated. Wheeless gave Nolan
two dollars with which to purchase
him a lunch, and upon Nolan's re
turn he gave the money, with the
lunch, to Wheeless. Afterwards
Wheeless denied that Nolan had
given him money. Hot words en¬
sued, and both men drew pistols,
Wheeless drawing his first. Nolan
shot first, the ball entering the
breast of Wheeless at the right
nipple, and lodging just under the
skin in the back. Four shots were
fired, Nolan fired three and Wheel¬
ess one. The wound of Wheeless
is considered a very dangerous one
and his recovery is doubtful. He
is being treated by Dr. Long.
The men were good friends, and
had worked together the week be¬
fore. The affair is indeed an un¬
fortunate one and sorely deplored
by the relatives and friends of both
parties involved. W r e are told that
Mr. Nolan has left for parts un¬
known, though we cannot give it
as a fact.—[Madisonian.
A Southern Gentleman-'
The following communication
printed in Monday’s edition of The
New York Sun tells its own sto
iy :
“To the Editor of The Sun—Sir :
I was an eye-witness, the other
day, of a pretty incident which oc¬
curred on the horse car which plies
between the station at Bartow-on
the-Sound and City Island, The
car, small and inadequate, after
the fashion of cars generally, was
crowded to its utmost capacity,
when a poorly dressed colored wo¬
man, carrying a heavy infant,
made an ineffectual effort to secure
a foothold on the rear platform.
“On the inside sat a gentleman.
He noticed the look of disappoint¬
ment which swept over the wrin¬
kled black face as the baby-bur¬
dened negress said: I guess I’ll
hafter waite for next car. >»
4 « Waiting for next car meant the
loss of an hour to her. The gen¬
tleman arose, and calling her back,
relinquished his own seat with a
kindly smile."
< 4 For which he was rewarded by
a most earnest look of thanks and
'I does sholy thank you, sir. > > >
“I was interested enough in the
incident to question the gentle
man, and was not a little surprised
to find that he was a southern man
and old slave owner. » I

4 4 The kindly impulse to assist
this black woman was in him a
matter of course, and but a piece of
lifelong friendliness existing be¬
tween the two races, of which we
in the north know nothing practi¬
cally and are skeptical of in theo
ry. »»

It is predicted that the ending of
the war in Cuba will precipitate a
famine on the people. The sugar
plantations have been largely
abandoned by proprietors and de¬
serted by the laborers. The chief
source of subsistance is the $5,000,
000 monthly pay roll of the Span¬
ish army. When the war stops
that nioney will no longer be dis¬
tributed. A prominent Cuban
writes to a New York paper that
six months from now the people of
the United States will be sending
to Cuba charity food for the starv¬
ing and medicine for the pestilence
stricken. He believes pestilence
and famine will go hand in hand in
Cuba.
It seems a shame that liberty
loving Americans should be so
slow to recognize the Cubans as
belligerents, It is true that the
general sentiment is in sympathy
with the struggling Cubans for
national liberty, but if America
had not met with more than pub¬
lic sentiment from France, she
would possibly have been today
not a United States, but a slave to
the tyranny of England , whose
arrogant oppression of Ireland is
the only thing comparable to the
power that seeks to enslave in ig
noble bonds the rights and free,
dom of struggling Cuba.
