Obiter Reporter, Dec. 7: With the
meeting of the general assembly just
abouf'a month off, there is beginning
to be considerable speculation in this :
cotttrty as to the i?ersonnel of the new
County Board of Directors, which is ;
expected to take office in January. The
eouil^ legislative delegation, consist- j
ing of 'Senator Datdd Hamilton and
Utipfepentatlvcs J. G. Glenn. Jr., and
A. G.'Avest brook, liave had the matter
irp Un* consideration; but as yet have
made no selections. There has been
some talk of appointing the three directors
according to the part of the |
county they hail from?that is, one
from the eastern part of the county, j
? one from the county-scat, or near by, |
and the third from the western side
though many think fitness is the big |
thing to be taken into consideration,
when selecting the occupants of this
very important post The First
Presbyterian church, of Durant, Miss.,
has extended a call to Rev. W. J.
Huneycutt, the popular pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Great Falls.
The call to Durant is a very attractive
one,*'but Rev. Mr. Huneycutt has not |
made known his decision, as he has
alpo * under consideration another
flattering call. He has been at Great
Falls nearly two years, during which
time he has accomplished a spl'-ndid
work' The first meeting of the
creditors of the Chester Hardware Co.,
was held Tuesday and yesterday. Maj.
Malcolm I,. Marion was elected Trustee,
and Messrs. James A. Stewart, of

Gaffney Ledger, Dec. 9: Rev. J. B.
Boseman and Dr. It. C. Cranberry returned
to (Jaffney Thursday, leaving!
Roek Hill Thursday morning before
the final adjournment of the Baptist
Staro Convention. A wag asked Mr.
Boseman why he didn't wait until the
appointments were read out. For a
moment the genial pastor of Providence
looked in amazement at his interrogator.
and as a smile crept .across
mobile countenance he replied: "We
were in a hurry to t hack home."

Gaffney defeated Fort Mill in Spartan- I
burg yesterday six to nothing. The !
tleld was heavy, due to rains of the !
past few days. Although the weather ,
was threatening all morning and up
until after the game started there was
a large croud of rooters from both
fruffney and Fort Mill as well as a j
crowd of fans front Spartanburg. C.aftney
was held twice on the live yard i
on fumbles when within striking dis.-..,^0.
tV,? o^.,l Hi.tn.r n-.ffnav'c ofnr
right half, was out of the game most of
the time, due to a slight injury. Harvey,
dependable center, was also out
of the game soon after it started, due
t ) a strained ankle. Gaffney's goal was ;
never in danger and they ha^d the edge
oil their dpponents in every particular.
The game was cleanly played and n<>
complaint was heard from either side, j
G. ffney was penalized for twenty-five
yards against their opponents nothing.
This victory for Gaffney means that
they will now have to play the strong.

/
Lipscomb, a negro Thursday about
upon, following some words when Mr,
Cloninger discovered a group <tf negroes
hunting on his pla.ee, Mr. Cloninger
is at the Gaston Sanatorium,
and is getting along nicely. The weapon
used was a shotgun. .Mr. Cloninger
received the whole load of No. 4 shot
in both legs. He was also shot In the
hands, in two or three places. The
wounds, while painful, are nothing but
flesh wounds, and no serious complications
are expected. Mr. Cloninger was
out tracking a fox on his place when
he heard the ncg.'oes and their dogs t
running rabbits." He approached them
and spoke warningly to them about
running over his fields and shooting
birds. He told them be did not mind
their killing rabbits if they did not
bother his boxes. ' One of the negroes
"sussed" him, according to Mr. Cloninger's
version. One word led to another
and Mr. Cloninger, who had his
gun with him. shot one of the negroes'
dogs. Another negro who was in the
party, and whom Mr. Cloninger had
not seen, promptly emptied one barrel
of his gun into Mr. Cloninger. Fortunately,
he received the load below
the waist. Ho walked some 50 or 75
yards after being shot and was alone
nearly an hour before relief came.
He was brought immediately to the
hospital where his wounds were dressed.
The nearo was captured shortly
by Sheriff lthyne and Deputy Petty,
and lodged in the Gaston c. nty jail.
Mr. Cloninger is 75 years old, and this
is the first time in his life I19 has required
the services of a physician. He
says he never took a dose of medicine
in his life. He is as.hale and hearty
as tin average man of 50. He is a
familiar sight en the streets of Gasto;.ia.

ors with country produce. JIo is the

South Carolina Man Asks Georgia
Governor to Stop Cock Fighting.
J. C. Solomon, of Calhoun Falls, H. C. 1
I a town a few milkii from tho Savannah i
river, which forms the line between
j Georgia and South Carolina, has -writ- '
ten Governor Hardwick a letter requesting
him to break up game chicken
fighting oh an island in tho river '
which became Georgia territory un- |
der the decision of the United States
supreme court setting definitely the
boundary line, some months ago.
Mr. Solomon asserts in his letter
that game chicken fighting lias been
going on upon this island for many
years, and thr.t for some reason the
' South Carolina authorities never broke
: it up. Now that the island is in the
I af-nfo nf n?r?rcin hp rpunests Gov
j ernor Hurdwick to put a stop to it.
On Wednesday of last -week, he as;
serts, a whaling big "main" was held
cn the Island, with game cocks brought
j from, many states and some from as
I far away as Mexico. There were so
j many men en route to the main, he
| asserts, that automobiles in Calhoun
Falls did a regular jitney business
back and forth to the river. There
was gambling and drinking on a large |
and joyous scale, he asserts.
