ORANGE BOTTLING WORKS
Hearst News Service
Chicago, 111, June 17—William
Jennings Bryan said today, “the dem-
ocrats in the **nate who stood for
higher tariff on lumber and iron have
made a mistake. They are not in the
same class, however, with the republi-
cans who voted for a higher rate on
other articles because the duties on
lumber and iron were low. It is a
mistake for the democrats to vote
for a higher rate when many repub-
licans are ready to put these ar-
ticles on the free list They have
made arguments which may be used
in the next campaign against the dem-
ocrats.”

The Principal in the Bloody Drama
is a Cousin-in-law of Orange Cit-
izen—Politics the Start of the Bad
Feeling—The Town Practically Un-
der Martial Law.
In Tuesday’s issue of the Leader
appeared a telegraph report of a
street duel at Meadeville on Monday
in which three or four men lost their
lives. The tragedy has some local
interest on acount of the relationship
of the chief actor, Dr. A. M. New-
man, to Dr. J E. Reeves of Orange,
the dead man having married a cousin
of Dr. Reeves.
Dr. Newman was a man of consid
erable property interests, had retired,
from the practice of law and entered
politic"/.. He served one term as sher-
iff, and had recently been elected
clerk of the chancery court of Frank
lin county, defeating Cornelius Prit-
chard by a small vote. Both were
well to do, and respected citizens,
each having brothers and sons and
also many friends. A few- weeks ago,
the bad feeling engendered in the
campaign culminated in a street duel,
which resulted in the death of Prit-
chard by Dr. Newman, several sons
of the doctor and a brother and
friends of Pritchard, it was alleged
at the time, firing shots in the melee.
But a trial of Dr. Newman resulted
in his acquittal.
On Monday, as the Doctor was
driving along the main street in his
buggy, he was fired upon with a Win-
chester from a building. He got out
of his buggy and started toward the
building, drawing his revolver in the
meantime. As he reached the side-
walk he was attacked by Silas Rey-
nolds and H. Applewhite, friends of
Pritchard, and killed almost instantly.
Two s6ns of Dr Newman, Dr. L.
and 'At Newman who were, nearby,
opened fire on Applewhite and Rey-
nolds, killing Reynolds and probably
fatally wounding Applewhite, a law-
yer who had several times been or-
dered out of the chancery clerk's of-
fice by Dr. Newman. Hogue, who is
believed to have fired ihe first shot
from the building at Dr. Newman,
and a man named Farm who was
with him, have not been found,
though it is believed Hogue was
wounded. Thus has that bitter cam-
paign resulted in the death of both
principals and two or three others
dead or fatally wounded—a most de-
plorable affair

BUSINESS IMPROVING.
i
Good Location for Knockdown
Houses, Boats and Furniture.
Mr. J. O. Sims, cashier of the First
[National Bank, says business condi-
tions in Orange are fairly good. There
is the usual summer dullness in mer-
cantile circles, but the volume of
business is greater than last year or
since 1906. The panic was in the fall
of 1907
Mr. C. VV. McFarlane was on a
business trip to Lemonville yesterday.
He found the mills of the Talbot-
fbthig Lumber company running on
full time with a good line of business.
He brought back some orders for the
Orange Iron Foundry.
■ Mr. McFarlane endorses the sug-
gestion of the Leader some weeks
ago. that a ready-made house manu-
ing business would be a good and
profitable industry for Orange. ‘‘Such
manufacturing enterprises in the lum-
ber centers of the north are big con-
cerns, and there is no reason why
such a business here would not suc-
ceed With plenty of lumber and
ocean freight raxes. Orange is favor-
ably situated for a big business in
making knock-down or ready-made
houses, boats and furniture.”
