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.

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.
