Officer Polls Shoots Usruly Negro, j
Saturday night at 10;30 o'clock Jack- y
Jackson, colored, was shot and Instant- y
ly killed by Chief .of Police V. D. Potts. 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.
Mrs. Anna 0. Parks Dead.
Mrs. Ann Oliver Parks died Monday
morning just before the noon hour at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. A. ~
Boyd, or. Confederate street, where she L
had made her home for several months. *
The funeral took place Tuesday morn- | (
ing from the residence and was con- I
ducted by Rev. W. A. Hafner, pastor i
of the Presbyterian church.
Mrs. Parks was in her 83rd year.
She was a life-long member of the
Providence Presbyterian church, having !
been a communicant there for over half
a century. She was born and reared
and lived to her advanced age in Providence
community. |
Mrs. Parks was the widow of the late
H. L. Parks, a substantial farmer-of
the Providence section. He died about
14 years ago. Surviving Mrs. Parks
are her three daughters, Mrs. Lioyd,
M rs. L. H. Robinson, of Providence, ,
and Mrs. R. A. Miller, of Lowell. Up
to a short time ago Mrs. Parks jnade j
her home with Mrs. Miller at Lowell, i
She was a woman of beautiful exem- |
plary Christian character. |
Reception to Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Lee.
About fifty guests were present at a
beautiful wedding reception given Monday
afternoon by Mrs. James T. Young '
at her home on Cleboum street in honor |
of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. K. Lee, of Sargent.
Ga.
Receivinc in (hp hull worn Misa tlnra
Grier, Mrs. J. T. Young, Mrs. Thos.
K. Lee and' Misses Mattie Smith and
Louise McMurray. Miss Minnie Garrison
presided at the punch bowl. Dainty i
refreshments were served in the dining i
room by Misses Louise Young, of Charlotte,
Ona Benmguard, of Clover, and
Nannie and Juanita Erwin and Mary ;
Epp8. As each guest passed out of the
the dining room they were presented
with a souvenir of the occasion by little
Miss Fairy Lee and Masters James and
Arthur Young.
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 '

description of the monument erected j
by him in Fort Mill thirteen years ago
to the women of the Confederacy. The
article will be reproduced in the next
