Dukes, foreman of the S. J. Hill – Bro. planing mill of this place, wont to the mill Wednesday morning and began to repremand night watch man Wade Cochran for non-perform ance of duty, and using some severe language. Cochran explained the reason why the work was not done, but this did not seem satisfactory to Dukes, and, according to the state ment of the only eye witness, jumped on Cochran, jerking him to his knees with open Knife drawn, wlieu Coch ran shot at him four times, only three of the balls taKing effect. The witness states that he never Knew the men to have any previous diffi culty. The Killing occurred about twenty minutes to six. The deceased leaves a family of wife and two chil dren. Tliere was only one eye witness to the killing. Mr. J. H. Welch was present, seeing and hearing all that was passed between the two men. His statement is as follows: “Mr. Dukes came to the mill last night and found Cochran asleep. Dukes abused Cochran for being asleep on duty. This morning (Wednesday) Dukes asked Cochran why he hadn’t done some work here in the mill. Cochran said he didn’t have any light to see how to work by, and Dukes told him he was a G 1 - D---liar, that he was asleep was the reason he didn’t, Dukes kept approaching Cochran all this time, and Cochran kept backing off, and told Dukes not to curse him as he was a white man the same as he was. Dukes told Cochran that he (Cochran) had not treated him like a white man. Cochran told Dukas that he had treated him ever since he had been here as good as he could treat a man. By this time Dukes had his knife out, and Cochran said, Mr. Dukes don’t you draw your knife on me, and Dukes said, G— D---you Iv’e not drawn it on you. When Dukes opened the he began to use it as though cleaning his nails, and stood there about a second, when he made a dash at Cochran, grabbing him around the neck, and jerked him on his his knees, right and reached around with hand to cut him, and by the time he got his right hand around, Cochran shot him. When he did, Cochran got loose from him and stepped back two or three steps and shot at Dukes twice again. After these shots Dukes kept on adyancing toward Cochran, who kept backing off for about twenty steps, when Cochran shot Dukes again. After last shot, Dukes turned and ran twenty or twenty-five steps and fell. Dukes did not shut up his knife until last shot had been fired, and when he fell the knife was in his hand.” After the killing, Cochran imme diately gave himself up to police au - thorities. A warrant was sworn out and Cochran was tried before Judges Smith and Campbell, which resulted in his acquittal. Death of Mr. H. B. Whitsett. Mr. Homer B.

You Know there are all sort* of secret nostrums advertised to cure consumption. Some make absurd claims. We only say that if taken in time and the laws of health are properly observed, SCOTT'S EMULSION will heal the inflammation of the throat and lungs and nourish and strengthen the body so that it can throw off the disease.
