HILL SHUE DEAD.
On last Saturday evening, Aug
ust, 18th., about 6 o’clock, near
the home of Jno. Benson, m
i
Pumpkin Bend, Rube Taylor shot
and killed Hill Shue.
The weapon was a double-barrel
shot gun loaded with No. 5 buck
shot , 8 of which took effect in the
left shoulder, left side of neck and
face. Mr. Taylor was about 35
feet from Mr. Shue when he raised
his gun and fired.
Mr. Taylor came in Sunday
morning and surrendered to the
officers.
We learn that the cause of the
shooting was as follows: The
dead man’s brother, Mr. Chas.
Shue and Mr. Rube Taylor had a
few cross words in the spring and
Hill Shue (deceased) took up Char
lie’s fight and Mr. Taylor claims
that his reason for leaving his
crop in the spring, was to keep
from killing Hill because of this
quarrel heretofore. Mr. Taylor
did leave Pumpkin Bend and after
being away some 3 or 4 weeks, re
turned to Jno. Benson’s home,
(which is also his home,) last Sat
urday morning, he thinking that
there would be no more trouble to
come up between him and the Shue
brothers.
Mr. Taylor’s wife died in the
spring, leaving him with a young
baby, which he let Mrs. Benson
have to raise for him. This is his
reason for making Mr. Benson’s
home, his home. Mr. Hill Shue
was in MeCrory Saturday, and was
returning home in a wagon with
Messrs. C. N. Henri, his two bro
thers, Jno.P. and Dick Shue and one
other man, whose name we were
unable to learn.
When the wagon was nearing
the home of Jno. Benson, in Pump
kin Bend, Hill Shue noticed Rube
Taylor on Bensons front porch.

Hill Shue ordered the driver tc
stop the wagon and when he did.
Hill jumped from the wagon, and
with an oath exclaimed that he was
going to kill Rube Taylor. H<
first asked Mr. Taylor if he want
ed to fight but Mr. Taylor made nc
reply to any of his questions, what
ever. Mr. Shue began advancing
towards the front gate of Mr. Ben
son’s yard, whereupon, Shue’i
Mr. Benson looked back down the
road, a few yards away, he saw
Mr. Sliue lying in the road and the
smoke of a gun. Mr. Bonsou at
once proceeded to where he was ly
ing and informed his wife and Mrs.
Albert Slocum, (a lady visiting
them) that he was dying.
No one saw the person that fired
the gun. But Mr. Taylor acknow
ledged to several citizens next
morning that he was the man that
killed Hill Shue.
Doctors Jelks and Pollett, of
McCrory, were phoned for but
their services were of no use as
Shue had almost breathed his last
when they reached the place where
he was shot.
Mr. Shue was about 36 years old
and leaves a wife, 1 boy and 4
brothers to mourn his death. He
died about 11 o’clock, having lived
about 5 hours after he was shot.
His request during his life-time
was that he wished to “die with his
boots on.” While he was lying
in the road where he was shot
some of his friends relieved his
feet of his footwear but when they
saw that he was about to die, and
, remembering his request they
put his shoes back on his feet and
i thus he died, “with his boots on.”

brother, Dick, began trying to per
suade him to get back into the
wagon, which he did. When Hill
had gotten into the wagon and
they had driven some 250 yards,
he not being satisfied with leaving
Taylor unharmed, got out of the
wagon the second time and started
back to Mr. Benson’s house where
he had left Taylor. As soon as
Hill jumped out of the wagon, his
brothers, Dick and John, again,
began begging him to get back in
to the wagon and go home. Mr.
Dick Shue also started to get out
of the wagon, but was halted by his
angry brother, Hill, who remark
ed to him, “If you get out of that
wa3on, and don’t leave me alone,
I will kill you too.” Dick know
ing that his brother meant every
word he had said, obeyed his or
ders and would not get out of the
wagon. After much begging and
pursuadiug, Hill yet refused to go
on home in the wagon with his
brothers. They seeing that their
efforts to get him home were in
vain, told the driver to go ahead,
leaving their brother to fight his
own battle.
When Mr. Shue reached the
home of Mr. Benson, in search for i
his man, Taylor, he found that i
Taylor had gone.
Mr. Taylor, in the meantime, had
gone to his brothers house, which i
was about i of a mile away, to get his ]
gun. !,
After Hill had informed Mr. i
Benson of his intentions towards f
Taylor, he started homeward. Mr. f
Benson and his wife left the house •,
for the cow lot to milk their cows \
and as they reached the lot which (
was on the opposite side of the ^
house, to which Shue had gone,
they heard a gun fire, and when

Labor is one of the supreme laws
of life. Toil is honorable. The
progress which the world has made
is a glorious testimonial to human
handiwork. Those who work
know more of genuine happiness
than those whose lives seem dedi
cated to idleness.
NOTICE
After July, 20th, I will work for
cash only, as cost of material and
labor are continually advancing
and prices are too low to do a cred
it business.
I find that many times accounts
that I considered good are by reas
on in changes of fortune of some
customers, owing me are rendered
[invaluable. I have found that 1
im banking on good health and
?ood business ability, honesty and
?ood luck of a great many people
vho’s account I carry on my book
md you will agree with me that in
so doing I am taking big chance
n my business.
I find that many times it cost
ne more time and expense to col
eet acc’ts as to do the work. So I
idopted the plan of doing a cash
msiness, which will be an advaut
ige to my customers as well as my- j
elf. I ask the continuance of ;
rour patronage as well as to share j
he benefit of doing business on a
ash basis. Thanking you for
our past favors, I am,
Yours Truly,

A horse-race is an interesting e
vent to some, but more of your
friends are interested in any event
that concerns you. If you go a
way on a visit or friends come to
visit you, see that the fact reaches
this office before publication day.
• It is not the site of a town, but
its character that makes it a desir
able place to live. A live prosper
ous town may prosper and yet be
small. Every citizen in town
should be interested in its prosper
ity. One of the best ways to help
a town is to speak well of it. It is
true patriotism to stand by your
own town, and interests that effect
the town should effect every citi
zen.
Occasionally one will hear the
remark, “I wish I was out of this
town,” and then one feels like say
ing, “I wish you were,” for a man
who stands on the street corners
chewing and spitting, telling ob
scene {stories, cursing the town,
finding fault with his grand-mother
because she was a woman, claim
ing that the merchants are a lot of
theives, that the lawyers and news
paper men would skin a man to a
finish, and a whole lot more, is a
nuisance and an abomination.
Any town pestered with one or
more such worthies would be justi
fied in exercising cowhide author
ity on the bosom of their pants.
No one is obliged to live where he
is not suited. If one lias’utan en
couraging word for the business
enterprise and institutions of his
town, he should shut up and ‘‘go
’way back and sit down.” If
things don’t suit you, move to
where they will. A growler and
sorehead in a town is an enter
prise killer every time. It would
pay a town to donate him $5.00
and tell him to move.
We heard a man the other day
kicking for a chance to work.
That man was a false alarm. No
man who wants work these days
need to be without employment
ten hours. There is all kinds of
work in this district, and good
wages can be secured by good men.
The citizens of any prosperous
town are always public spirited
and united. Stand together, work
for the interests of the whole town.
Always stand ready to do your
part. Don’t grumble and spend
your time in prophesying failures,
but help make every enterprise a
success, be it great or small. Be
energetic and enterprising and
your example will be imitated.
