ROCK HILL'S BAD NIGGER
Policeman Langley, Formei
Lancastrian, has Close
Call in Struggle with Des
perate Negro.
Rock Hill special in Chariottt
Observer ol Wednesday: It ii
seldom tbat the officers of tin
law have a customer to deal wit!
that is as downright mean ant
treacherous as Harper Williams
colored, of this city. His ab
sence from the chaingang is o
short duration, and his crimei
consist of petty thieving, lighting
and resisting arrest. It can bt
truthfully said of the negro tha
he is no coward. Some lime ag<
Harper got a grip at the Caroli
na Hotel that did not belong tt
him, and he haB been in hiding
until Officer Langley scented
uun eariy Sunday morning a!
bin brothor's house in the I t in
rear of R. VV. Crawford's store.
Mr. L iugley, knowing the negrr
to be a dangerous character,
waited his time and when Harper
stepped out 01 the door Mr.
Langley laid hold from behind.
Harper was not to be outdone sc
easily, aud he whirled around
with a sweeping blow at 'he po
hceman, who also made a pass
with his club. The negro dodged
and as he came up ho had
his gun out and pointing it at
the officer snapped it several
times. Seeing it would not fire
Harper m ?de a dive tor the corner
of tii? building, reaching it
before Officer Langley succeeded
in securing his guu. The o!*
ficer fired four shots at the fleeing
negro, without effect.
The oflkerH rode out of tlie
yards on the early morning trams
thinking perhaps Harper would
try and board one, and so he
did. As the train due to leave
at 6 :30 for Marion was passing
the K >ck Hill Buggy Company's
plan' Williams attempted to
board it, but tailed and again
went to the t,?U limber. It was
not until late Sundry evening

J. Garrison place, aboul live
miles from Rock Hill. Chief
Part low and officers Miller and
Eubanke secured two armv ri(le>
and went after the desperado.
When Unshed he gave the officers
a lively chase, the officers opening
fire with the result lhat Har
per caught a bullet 111 a vital
spot ? his heel ? which br night
him down, lie was saleiv lodged
behind the bars and will have
several serious charges to face
at the next criminal term of
court. Officer Miller had a des
pern'e struggle with this negro
several months ago, bu' succeeded
in beating him into submission
with his club.

stone of this city announced de ;
finitely this morning that he
3 would be a candidate for Gover3
nor ot South Carolina in the
i next campaign, 1910.
It is remembered that Mr.
' Fea'herstone declared his caudi'
dacy at the opening of-this year's
' campaign but withdrew because
f ol the promised stand ot Gov.
3 Ansel on the liquor question;
? that is the Governor's advocacy

3 Ansel had been governor for on
' ly one term,andt here were thou*
sands who deemed him worthy
\ of a second term because of his
^ successful fight against the old (
State dispensary. Consequently
1 Mr. Featherstone deemed it in- \
advisable to opp jse Mr. Ansel j
* at that time and withdrew from i
1 I ho iace, it the same time an t
nouncmg his continued advocacy }
of State wide prohibition and his i
willingness to keep up the figh< t

menl for State-wide prohibition,
and the fact that one-half of the ,
counties in Ihe Sta'e have al- |

Sieving that ihe time has come ^
