Webb Kills Robinson at Barney;
The Tragedy Occured Sunday.
Mr. T. G. Robinson, postmaster
and merchant at Barney was kill¬
ed Sunday morning about eleven
o’clock by Curtis Webb, a young
man about eighteen years of age.
Robinson had sold Webb a horse
some time ago and there was some
dissatisfaction between the par¬
ties in regard to it.
Mr. 0. D. Paxsoncamefo Ad<d
and bought a coffin for the body
of Mr. Robinson. Ile vvue a man
about twenty-five years old and
leaves a wife. He came to Bar-
ney last fall from Tallokas and
bought the mercantile business
of Mr. Rozier.
Mr. Webb was also a
tively new citizen. His step¬
father, Mr. Cooper, is proprietor
of the livery stable there. Webb
formerly worked with Mr. J. T.
Rope at Guest.
lie was arrested by Marshal
Pinson mid .vas carried to jail at
Quitman Sunday afternoon.
The marshal, Mr. Pinson makes
the following report:
Mr. Robinson was standing
talkii g to n*e and said : “Pinson
l am going to raise hell in (his
town to-day.” Robinson called
Webb and they went down the
east side of Edenfiel 1 & Moody’s
store. They talked several min¬
utes and I heard Robinson curse
Webb vilely. Webb said, “don’t
call me that. I don’t want any
trouble.” Robinson replied, “1
will go to hell over it if you will.”
Webb replied, “I don’t want any
trouble.” Robinson then caught
Webb by the arm and jerked
him around and threw iiis hand 1
to his hip pocket. Webb was
trying to get awav from him.
Webb then pulled b's pistol
and fired twice, the last ball pass¬
ing through the heart. Robinson
never uttered a word after the
first shot. Mr Pinson said,
-“Webb, you have killed your
man.’' Webb said, “I am sorry,
I had it to do.” There was a
pistol by Mr. Robinson’s bide.
The Cost of Living.
The cost of living has reached
a higher mark than it has in the
last teii years, opines Dun’s
Review; and the various com¬
mercial papers appear to be u mi¬
hie to account for the high pr : c» s.
Brudstreet’s believes them to be
in some measure due to the
“largely sentimental influences
°f tbe breaking out of war be-
tween Russia and Japan.’’ The
ITiited States Investor is unable
to see the reason for the rise in
commodities while stocks and
wages are going down.
Tlie increased supply of gold,
The Investor remarks, might ac¬
count for the increased prices,
but “if the prices of commodities
rise, the prices of stocks, which
are measured also in value by
gold, certainly ought not to de¬
cline.’’ as they have been doing.
It adds:
“The popular view of high
prices, needless to say, does not
deal with economies. If the ‘din¬
ner-pail’ is not ‘full,’ the wicked
trusts will be accused of forcing
up prices. This view will be en¬
by the more radical
newspapers. Party ammunition
may be furnished as a result dur¬
ing the coming campaign. Com¬
bination, it is true, in many cases
means elimination of competition
the opportunity of obtaining
higher prices for the output, the
oil company being the
most striking example of this
But nature’s laws are in¬
and no combine is like¬
ly long to be able to put on the
The combines may tem¬
porarily obtain higher prices be¬
of demand being greater
supply. Once let the
lie reversed, however, and
prices will drop. Agricultural
products may tend continually
upward because of natural econ¬
conditions, but manufact¬
ured articles are in a dilFerent
category.”

Miser Gives Away Wealth.
Newmarket, Mass., April G.—
Clark Ridley, having readied the
age of 85, lias decided that is a
disgrace to die rich and an¬
nounces that lie will at once give
all his property to deserving per¬
sons of his own selection. Al¬
ready he lias disposed of three
houses and lots and says he has
several left, together with other
property valued at $15,000.
Ridley lias been known for
many leans as a miser. He lived
alone in a hut half buried in the
ground, his only relatives being
two sisters v in widely separated
parts of tire country.
“The rich men give property
to soms institution,'’ lie said.
“That is not realiy ft deed of
charity. 1 have s^n the failure
of their way «>f giving and have]
tried to mend ’.t. If a man has
got something to give away lie
should give it to somebody that
will appreciate it and do them
some good/’.
