Mr. J. (2* Cousart Dead.
A telegram from Watterboro this
.(Wednesday) afternoon brought the sad i
intelligence of the death of Mr. John !
Q. Cousart. The particulars of his :
death were not stated in the message, j
but it is supposed he died from injuries
sustained in an accident, an ac- !
count of which appeared in The Times
last we%k.
Sbot at Nefro Tenant.
Friday morning a serious difficulty
occurred between Mr. John Hall, a
farmer of the Pleasant Valley neighborhood
well known in this section, and
John Porter, a negro laborer temporarily
employed on the plantation of the
former. Mr. Hall had reproved Porter ,
for the careless manner in which he :
was performing a task assigned him
and the negro, taking offense at Mr. j
Hall's words, slipped to his home and
secured a shotgun, and then lay in wait
at a ginhouse on the place for Mr. Hall
to appear. When Mr. Hall came up
the negro took deliberate aim at him ^
and twice tried to fire the gun. Fortu- j
nately the shells were old and did not
explode, otherwise the negro probably
would have had a charge of murder
hanging over him. When the gun
failed to fire, Porter took to his heels
and Mr. Hall sent four bullets from
his revolver after him, but with poor
aim, and the negro escaped unhurt.
Mr. Hall quickly swore out a warrant
for Porter's arrest, but when the officers
arrived to serve the warrant the negro j
could not be found. Mr. Hall is a '
brother-in-law of Chief of Police V. D. j
Potts, of Fort Mill, and has many
friends here who are glad that he
emerged from the difficulty unharmed.
Newsy Items From Pineville.
Pineville, N. C., June 29.?Contractor
P. S. McManus, of Charlotte, has
just completed the laying of the cement
pavnig on Main street and there is expressed
generally the opinion that the
quality of the work is such that with
ordinary usage it will stand for years.
The one regret is that the finances of
the town are limited and that the council
can not at present see its way clear
to have the walks on either side of the l
street paved. The hope is expressed, j
however?now that the work is begun |
and an opportunity is afforded to com- [ :
pare the difference in walking on cob- |
blestones and cement?that a second \ t
contract will ere long be awarded. The a
present council is comj>osed of progress- j t
ive business men and it is certain that i ]
if any further improvement can be i
made along this line during their term j"'
of office they will grasp the oppor- j j
tunny. ivir. w. i,ee i-'isher is intendant I g
with Messrs. W. M. Morrow, J. P. ! \
Ardrey, J. VV. Jenkins and J. S. Mil- f
ler wardens.
Another evidence of an upward move- I t
ment here is the earnest effort which ' ^
I is being made by a number of leading s
citizens, assisted by financial interests
I of Charlotte, to organize a bank, with *]
every prospect of the effort being sue- s
cessful. There is no kind of doubt that :
a small bank in the hands of the men (
proposing the institution would pay i
handsomely. Pineville is a splendid cotton
market, there being annually sold *
hero in the neighborhood of 2,000 bales.
This is an incentive for the bank. Paradoxical
as it may seem, the volume of i
i business done here every year since the J
J opening of the macadam road to Char- j
, lotte has increased rather than dimin- i
ished, as many predicted.
For some time the congregation of ;
j the Pineville Presbyterian church has
been considering the erection of a new (
manse for their pastor, the Rev. Mr.
1 Bothwick. A considerable sum has
, already been pledged for the building *
but the inability to secure a desirable <
, site in a residential neighborhood has I
j thus fur held the matter in abeyance.
Much disappointment is felt in this t '
i community over the inexplicable mis- 1
i carnage of justice in the failure of the '
i jury to convict Will Biggors for the ,
Hood murder in Charlotte some months
ago. PineviUe came near furnishing t (
! a juror in this celebrated case in the j
person of Mr. Ed Costin, a salesman (
! for the Morrow firm. Mr. Costin was ,
tentatively accepted as a juror, but the
defense promptly objected to him when .
1 it was learnea that he was from I'inc- '
j ville.
1 Mr. J. E. Russell, the popular as- ,
sistant cashier of the Savjngs Bank of
Fort Mill, and young daughter, came
up from Fort Mill Saturday afternoon i
and spent Sunday in town with relatives. !
The Rev. Mr. Hogan, a Baptist minis- i
! ter, has been elected superintendent of
j the public school for the session of
1909- 10
Mrs. ,W. It. Bradford and littje 1
