John Lindsey. colored, was be>re magistrate McKlhnney Thurs-J day upon a warrant sporn out by ' Mr. W. L. Hall, for Haston and Hall, upon the charge of issuing ' bogus checks. It seems thnt Lind- ! ey, who conducts a small store south of town, has for some time [ given checks on tlie Savings Bank or goods bought from merchants >f this place. Mr. Hall presented liia /.Iw./.L- Tlini-adnv unrl it ivuu learned that Lindsey had no money in the hank, and had not carried a deposit there for some time. Lindsey was accordingly arrested and brought before Ma^is- ! trate McElhaney, but was release ' ed upon payment of the account and costs of the court. It is understood that others in town hold checks issued hy Lindsey during the past few months, and that further trouble is in store for the eolord merchant is not unexpected. - C? i. The Affray on'Catawba. In our last issue brief mention wan ni:ule of tho tutting affray at Joaes' ferry, on Catawba river Tuesday afternoon between Mr. Rosser Wolfe, of Sharon anti Mr. Mark L. Skid more, of this place. Owing to the late hour at which the fiijht took pluce it was imnossi bit1 to learn the pailiculars or to give nil account of the affair. The facts, us situ*? learned uro that a party consisting of Messrs. Rosser Wolfe, J). P. Lt-e, Ren Wolfe, Wat. Cooper and others drove down from Sh iron for a day'H tieh on Catawba. During the day the party was joined by Mr. M. L. 8kidmore, of this place. All went well for a time, until the conversation drilled into political channels. Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Skidmore engag-d iu an argument, when the | latter called Mr. Wolfe "a damned Democrat." Mr. Wolfe become j angered at this, but seeing that 1 Mr. Skidmore had been drinkimr, I passed the matter by and it was j t!.ought no trouble would result. Skidmore and others went up the river and remained a short while and upon his return offered apologies to Wolfe for what lie had said, at the same time pulling a flask, from which he and Wolfe took a (11ink. Skidmore then said that he could throw Wolfe down, which In* did. Lie next grabbed old Mr. I Lee and threw him, and, it is said was handling him in a manner which angered Wolfe, who drew liis knife nnd went for Skidmore. The men were parted by othor members of the party, but not un ; til Skidmore had been fearfully j slashed about the neck and head. Wolfe set out immediately for I l'ineville, where he surrendered to Officer Culp, and was later turned over to the sheriff of Mecklenburg. ' Skidmore was brought to his home in this place anchwas well-nigh ex- : hausted from hiss of blood when medical assistance reached him. Two physicians were k?M)t busv i until "early Wednesday morning ! dressing the wounds, more than 80 , stitches being required for thh. It was at one time thought that tin chances were few for Skidinoro's recovery, hut3ie is doing nicely at present and will doubtless h?> able to he out in a short time. The preliminary tiinl will he held as soon us Mr." Skidmoro is able to attend. Mr. Wolfe is a half brother of Capt. M. M. Wolfe, of this place, The Meanest Man. There is probably no place on earth better than a country newspaper office to learn how many kinds of people there are. Some i ? L? . i . IIIIII y II U SinieillClll lfl geilt, others will not pay until they reeeive n statement. * Some will pny without a statement and others won't pny whether a statement is sent or not. Some thought they owed more and some thought they didn't owe so much. Some say they couldn't get along without the paper, and others say it don't amount to much. Hut the meanest, scrubbiest in the list is the man who takes it until he is shut of! for non payment and then spends all his time explaining how he used to "take the thing, but stopped 'cause it wev'u't no count. -?*. / } / ? > Cri.!.' * .. >>!*?. TERRIFIC RACE WITH DEATH. I "Doakh was fast approaching" writes , Ralph F. Fernande?, of Tampa, Fla., 1 describing his fearful race with death, j "as a result of liver trouble aud heart disease, which hud robbed me of sleep I aud of all interest in life.
