8H0T WI' c< 'SI8TINQ ARREST AND DIED
ALMOST INSTANTLY.
Ltfh.t Saturday night, aboutit o'clock,
Lee Knight, au employee of the Wal
halla1 Cotton Mille, was shot and killed
by J. L. Standley, who was on duty as
policeman as a substitute for th? regular
Hillville policemen, Arch T. Reid.
Young Knight had been ejected from
the house of Frank Elliott, where there
was a party or sociable in progress. He
remained outside, and it is olaimed was '
in a .Burly mood. His friends advised J
him to leave, but he refused. Standley
advauoed and ordered him to consider
himself nuder arrest, and, it is stated by
?me, threatened to kill any one who
k bis hands on him. As Standley ad
nood Knight threw hin right band
baok toward his hip pocket and retreated
backward for some distanoe, and told
Standley to oome no further; that he
would kill him. By this time Knight waa
in the dark, and Standley, (be says), fear
ing Knight would shoot, fired upon bim.
He fired a second shot and Knight fell by
a fence and when reaohed was already
dead, the bullet from a 38-caliber pistol
having entered at the baok under the
left shoulder, going through his body,
severing an artery above this heart and
passing from his body in the left breast.
It is olaimed that Knight made a per-1
sonal threat to the aoting policeman in
oaae he attempted to arrest bim. Imme
diately after the shooting Standley went I
to the Ooonee jail and surrendered him
self to the Sheriff, W. M. Kay.

lows:
"That the said Leo Knight came to his
4 .Ydeath at Walhalla, S. (J., on Jauuary 10.
1007, from a pistol shot wouud, said
wound boiug inflicted by J. L. Standley."
Duriug tho progross of the inquest a
loaded pistol was found about ll foot
from where Knight fell.

Mann Couldn't Vote for Tillman.
Columbia, Jan. 22. - Representative
Coke D. Mann, who is also a Methodist
minister, refused to vote to day to con
firm tho re-election of United States
Senator Tillman, giving these sensa
tional reasons:
"I wish to state my reasons for not
,. voting for the Hon. Benjamin R Till
4 man to succeed himself lu tho United
7 States Senate:
* "First. Ho made a worthless and mali
cious attack upon tho ministry of South
Carolina, charging them with being in ?
league with the ox-barkeepers of the j
State, with Col. Jamos A. Hoyt as their
standard hearer, to defeat and destroy
the dispensary law in South Carolina.
This, ho know, was falso and an outrage
on common decency.
"Second. Before 1 could voto for him
I should have to know how muoh money
he 1 et urned to Mr. Huhbcl as rebates af
IML" thu Stato ot South Carolina. I
gtH-nri that, as Governor, bo was hand
iWjrthe money of the Stato and ho had
no right to return tho money to tho
liquor house any moro than the present
Board of Directors has tho right to ap
propriate to their own usu or to such
Other purposes as t hey might BOO lit."
On motion of Representativo Richards,
tho House, by a large majority, votod to
oxpuuge Represontative Mann's state
ment from the roooi'd.
Big Scare at Townvllle.
Tho peoplo of Towuvillo aro having a
groat scare about a wild boar or some
other kind of beast roaming at large in
tho community. Soveral peoplo claim
to have Beon tho animal, and othors havo
soon st range tracks in tho public roads
and Holds. Many pooplo are convinced
that them is some kind of a Btrango and
daugeroun animal roaming around in tho
neighborhood and Borao daro not loavo
their homos nt night. It is an awful
time for timid folks around Townvillo*.
Nobody bas boon killod, but one negro
has had a very narrow escapo.
B?rry Farmer has a nogro working for
him by tho name of Cato Piokons. Tho
other morning, jost about daylight, the
negro went to his employor's house to
?ct instructions about his day's work,
fr. Bell heard him in the yard, and,
thinking it was tho bear, oponed tho
door just a little ways, stuok his shotgun
through the oraok and banged away, and
shot off a part of the negro's foot. Not
withstanding the wound was in the foot
it is said the negro is not very badly hurt
*ao?| will soon be all right. And in the
moxntime the people still think there is
a hoar in tho neighborhood and are
afraid of strange noises that they hoar at

Rural Route No. 2 In Danger.
The following letter to Congressman

pose of getting the people of Walhalla
Rural Route No. 2 to bestir themselves if
they wish their route to be continued as
a daily. Mr. Aiken has done and is

aud ??thors, urging thai daily delivery
on Rural Route No. 2, from Walhalla,
South Carolina, be ooutinued.
In reply, you are advised that a
reoeut inspection of this service
shows that Route No. 2, under exist
ing conditions, is hardly entitled to
daily service, but, as it is desired to
give patrons of Route No. 2 every
opportunity to bring the service up
to the standard, no action looking to
the red notion of frequency of servioe
will be taken at present
It will be understood, however,
that unless an increased patronage
is apparent within the next few
months, it will be necessary to place
Rural Route No. 2, from Walhalla, on
a tri-weekly basis.
Very respectfully,
Aoting Fourth Assistant Post
master General.
The patrons of this route will do well
to use, every effort to have it show an in
crease of mail matter at once. This oan
be done by the addition of patrons and
by an increased use of the mails. It
should be brought up to the require
ments for a daily service if possible.
