Local News. WEDNESDAY, DHU. 2i, 1902. Christinas Morning. InMho silence utter midnight, Ji/nny hundred years np), Shepherds watching in the starlight Waited for the morning glow. While the lambkin and the folder In tho silvered quiet still, Slept against tho purple shoulder Uta broad Judean hill. _ lint those shepherds woke and listened, For within ii radiant plaie, They saw angel forint Unit glistened Coming down a golden .-lair. And while earl h was filled wit li music, And thoRe folders knelt to pray, "Alleluia!" sang the seinphs, "Christ is hom, 'ti'- Christmas Day! Kil Com aland. An Outrageous Affray. A high-handed outrage was commit ted about I o'clock .Monday afternoon at a point about ;? miles on the Wil liainsion road, within half a mile ol' Hun k;; Church. A wagon containing one white man and tiv?* negroes, all drunk, first met jlv. Walter Anderson, ordered him out of the road ?nut cursed and ..bused him. Tiny next met Ike Hodge, a negro, coming to the eily with a loud of wood. Ile was ordered out of the road und cursed and when lu* remonstrated was shot and bent and w ill probably ?lie. The occupants of the wagon were Frank Skelton, white, and Jim Mitch ell, Townsend Rouse, Will Wintrier, Hob Hardy and High Johnson, negroes. They were en route toa saw mill on William Gilliard's pince, to assist in finishing u contract of sawing made by Mr. Ferry Tate, and when arrested by Sheriff Creen mid Deputy Davis, had reached tho mill. Walter Anderson was in consultation with the .Sherill'about the indignities done him, when a rumor came in bring ing the tidings of the second offense. Deputy Emmerson had been dispatch ed for tho gang on ibo complaint of Mr. Anderson, but when tho message of tho second offense came, Sherill'| Green went in person. He returned about dark, bringing all of the guilty parties. When first arrested thc entire mob stoutly denied the charges, but when lo ought to jail confession was made. Jon Mitchell is said to have done the nluwliiig. Two shots were tired and it is said that both took effect. The pis tol was the property ot Frank Skelton. Ho claims that he had it in a box in the wagon. High Johnson first grabbed tho pistol and jumped out and advauced on tho negro Ike Hodges. He was promptly knocked down with a rock Dy Hodge. Jim Mitchell then grabbed the pistol and did.tie shooting. He sidea being shot Hodge was severely beaten. Two ribs were broken and his head almost crushed with stones. He is still alive but his chances of ?recovery are slim. Bond in the sum of $750 rh each case wns fixed by Magistrate Dagnal. Frank Skelton, only, wns released, his bond being signed by his fathor, D. A. Skel ton, and S. A. McCown. The negroes were committed to jail. lt is a great pity that nt a season when men's minds snould bo tilled with an event which appeals directly to all that is noblest in man's nature, and should till thr'.r souls with peace and good will toward all, tho entire Christian world is witnessing and hear ing of deeds of violence and hatred and r.trifo. Who Hold the Lucky Numbers? The Jos. J. Fretwell holiday drawing took place Monday, b-ginuing at o'clock p. m. and lasted just one hour, and there are at least 7 men in the county who consider this a lucky Christmas. About the middle of October Mr. J. .?. Fretwell handed the Intelligencer an advertisement, which, among other things, made tho liberal offer that, "AU parties who have paid in full since September 1st, or who pay us $25 on their indebtedness from October 15th, to and including Decembor 22nd next, will be entitled to the following pres ents," and they proceed to enumerate them : Twelve hundred and seventy-live tickets were issued, showing a high ap preciation of the oller by tho patrons of this livo branch of Mr. Frotwoll's busi ness, especially when it is mentioned that this offer was confined to those pay ing accounts and purchasing stock or veliiclep. The drawing took placo under the supervision of J. Helton Watson, Oliver Bolt and W. J. Robbins, who were selected ns a committee to seo that everything connected with tho drawing was fairly done. Tho ulan was to draw out all the numbers, calling them, until seven were left, these seven drawing prizes in tho order thoy wero drawn, toe first getting the least valua ble prize, the second the more valuable and so on to tho Inst, which drew tho $100 horso. Tho drawing took place in tho brick warehouse, back of the stables, and at no time during tho drawing were there less than 200 persons present. As tho first numbers were called, those who had been unlucky withdrew, but others filled their places and kept up tho crowd. The very best of feeling mid eonduct prevailed and tho keenest of interest. The lucky numbers were at last reached, the crowd huddled closer and craned their necks and silence prevail ed. Tho lucky numbers came out as follows : Np? 808. entitling the holder to a sad dle blanket valued at $2.50. No. 153, entitling tho holder to a rid ing bridle valued at ?5.00. No. 841, entitling the holder to a sad dle valued at $10.00. No. 445, entitling tho holder to a sot ofo single buggy harness valued at No. 217, entitling tho holder to a set ot double harness valued at $25.00. No. 147. entitling the holder to a fine buggy valued at $05.00. No. 810, entitling the holder to a horse yalaed at $100. Those holding these numbers are for tunate and should feel proud of it. It is not only-that they have a present, but that jpresent is an evidence of thoir having met their obligations. No one present at the drawing held .the lucky numbers. ? ? ? mt 9 m Quarterly Meeting.
