J I The killing occurred near the home of ] ; Mr. W. B. Hoke on the western edge { of the towii, and was live result of c Jackson's refusal to submit to arrqst \ and subsequent assault upon the officcfc. e Jackson was said to have been cures r ing on the streets and upon reaching! ? the western edge of the town on his t way to Grattan became very boistfcrous. j i Officer Potts overtook the negro at the . t | point mentioned above and told him ho ! s | would have to return to town. The o negro at first objected to being ar- t rested, but finally told the officer he j would go. The two started toward town and had gone about fifteen steps ! when Jackson, who weighed perhaps 1; 200 pounds and was a powerful man, . ji seized Mr. Potts and threw him to the 5 ground. The officer drew a revolver v frnrn hia nnrl tV\ia fKo nnrrm 1. seized und attempted to get posession c of. Mr. Potts had another pistol, a *' 38-calibre Smith & Wesson, in another j pocket and drew it, but Jackson grab- & bed this also and for several moments j 1 the two tussied on the ground for pos- t session of the weapons. Officer Potts J brought his teeth into action and got in [ E some very effective work on Jackson s h arm. This was too painful for the negro, and, still grasping the pistols^ I he arose. In an instant Mr. Potts was \ also on his feet and both men put forth , ; every effort to free the guns. In this 1 the officer finally succeeded and with ,, the Smith & Wesson fired four times, ! lc two of the shots taking effect, one in :r Jackson's heart and the other in his " left shoulder. The negro fell dead In the street. The county coroner was notified early Sunday morning of the killing and rc- quested to come to Fort Mill and hold an inquest over Jackson's body. Coroner Louthian stated to the authorities here that on account of an inquest which he was to conduct at Tirzah it would be impossible to come to Fort Mill,, and authorized Magistrate ^ J. W. McElhaney to act in his stead. The inquest took place about noon Sunday and the verdict of the jury was that of justifiable homicide. h Officer Potts went before Judge .1 Gage at Chester Monday and was j1 granted bail in the sum of $500.

She was a life-long member of the Providence Presbyterian church, having ! been a communicant there for over half a century.

Don't Carry Large Sums With You. j J It were well to warn the public that j along with every such vast throng as | that which will visit Charlotte this week one may confidently expect a number of crooks and pickpockets 'I which prey on the populace under the J advantageous circumstances of great gatherings. A man from Georgia, who asked that his name be withheld, com- , m plained at police headquarters yester- j day that he had been robbed by some ; s one in the crowd at the carnival on the t night before, losing a poekethook con- 1 taining $120. There are always anum- ; ber of similar incidents, granting that the fignres given were accurate, on such an occasion. People who have 1 contracted the habit of carrying hun- ' , drcds of dollars around with them are always liable to regret it. ?Charlotte ' Observer. j An Interesting Article. i < ; The Fort Mill Times of Thursday | ' contains a splendid picture of our cs! teemed fellow townsman, Capt. S. E. ' White, and an interesting history and ? description of the monument erected j by him in Fort Mill thirteen years ago to the women of the Confederacy.
