OFFICERS CUT. le Negro Under Arrest Shot Through Leg-Difficulty Started in Mag istrate's Office. .n A great deal of excitement was . caused on the street.s yesterday after noon by an affair which started in :o Magistrate John Hitry Chapp4ll 1 office, in the old court house, as a re Le sult of the arrest of Dick Davenport, 1. colored. Magistrate Chappell was painfully cat about the throat, Mr. t James Henderson, who had acted as s, deputy in making the arrest was also cut about the throat, and the negro d was shot through the leg above the - knee. ;t What the affair was all about it was impossible to learn yesterday af ternoon, as no statement could be se cured from ,1e parties. It appeared I.. that Tom Sanders had paid Daven t port twenty-nine dollars for some 2 hogs, claiming,them to be of a certain d weight, when in fact th-ey weighed less. A warrant was sworn out and r. Devenport was arrested by Mr. James ts Henderson, acting as deputy, in the ,V absence of Constable Cannon G. k Blease. The negro was carried to t Magistrate Chappell's office, and here the difficulty started. 5 A pistol shot was heard, and as . there was only one shot, and the ne ) gro was the only one who was wound t. ed, it would not take a Sherlock Hol t. mes to figure out that this was the 11 shot which went through the negro's :0 leg, although no statement could be - secured as to who fired the shot or e whether or not anybody was wounded. :- The participants were then seen rush-! V ing from Magistrate Chappell's of .ee into the street towards t-he opera g house. Davenport brandishing an axe and a knife, one in one hand and the other in the other. Policeman Chal s mers and Chief Adams took a hand and the negro was secured and taken ,to jail. after .having cut Magistrate Chappell and Mr. Henderson. as stated. d While Magistrate (.happell was painfully c,ut, it is not thought the h cuts are deep, nor was Mr. Henderson v seriously wounded. o RAISING TURNIPS. s York, Lancaster, Chester and Fair yfield Should Take Note of - Woodruff. s Th-e Rock Hill Herald says ,that the Lancaster News and the Editors of .the Chester papers have been indulg e ing in a lot of hot air about raising -turnips. e The Herald states that Chester r (claimus a tun. that weighs seven and a a half pounds and that Lancaster y strains a point and produces a turnip that weighs eight pounds. Then -comes the Winnsboro News and Her e aid and claims a nine and a half a pound turnip for Fairfield. The r Herald now says that old York raises t the largest ,turnips and it has on ex ibiit one that weighs twelve and a ] t half pounds. e .The Herald and News is not exactly I s familiar with the size of turnips rais ed in Newberry county but would re- 1 fer all of these boasters as to big .tur t nips to the people of Woodruff. Some I] r time ago at an enterstainment given by< the progressive town of Woodi-uff a turnip was on exhibition t.hat weigh- I ed sixteen pounds. ~All of these edi-1 tors had better take a back seat un less :they can come nearer the Wood-1 i ruff turnip.

Last Friday meml.rs of the Civic Association held a conference with Supervisor Feagle with reference to a grounds tit the new court house. The t wagon yard has to some extent been r enlarged since the building of .the new a court house and the grounds have Jj been used for hitching and feeding, t purposes. T.he trees have been used t as hitching posts as is evidenced by t the bark being eaten off by the mules. 1 Plans for improving the grounds f had been agreed upon but owing to the heavy rains of last summer and I the necessity for rebuilding bridges n the work was never done and is not r done yet, and the wagons have been 1 driving in on them and using -the t grounds as a hitching and feeding place. Members of the Civic Association as stated obtained permission on Fri- e day to put up some wire to keep t.he wagons off and early Saturday morn ing the posts and wire were put up and now the wagons are excluded at least from the side next to the Crot-' well hotel. There is a driveway between the ounty lot and the Crotwell hotel eight feet wide which belons(s to Mr. rotwell. Mr. Crotwell states that he will give this for a walk way or boule trd as far as his land goes and1 Mr. J. D. Davenport says he will do the same for the balance of the distance e to Thompson street. if the city will make a cement walk. This is in ac .ordanee with a sngges-tion made by i The Herald and News some months i ago when the opening of a wagon way through this lot was being consi'dered. t rity council should take this proposi tion up and accept it at once. In fact the county might divde t-he cost be- e -anse it would add materially to the a !ourt house lot in keeping wagons rrom driving on it and would improve the appearance and be a great con renience. The land in the rear of the tores of Shelly and Summer and the t >bhers in that block could be utilized a or office buildings and would be ideal. The signs which Judge Memminger )rdered the supervisor to have placed .n the new court house as to -spitting n the floor had never been put up. rhe members of the Civic association tot permission to have these printed md put up, and they were, printed on C Saturday. The court house grounds could be' nade very pretty and attractive with t little work and a small expense and t s'hould be done.
