( Commencement Speakers. ? We are fortunate ir. securing Dr. S. ? C. Mitchell, of the University of South J Carolina, to make an address at the V school commencement next month. On ( account of other engagements he could / be gotten only on Wednesday night. J Dr. Mitchell is one of the foremost ed- ' ucators and most prominent college presidents of the State. The striking thing about Dr. Mitchell is that he is a man with a big heart. Intellect is very necessary and must have a great part in shaping the destiny of a State, but the lasting qualities of sincere human interest is the crowning feature of 3ervice. The speaker has addressed the leading cities and towns of the State, and the teachers of the school are proud to know that he is to be on the commencement program. On Thursday morning an address will be made by Rev. E. K. Hardin, pastor of St. John's Methodist church, Rock Hill, and also member of the YVotTord college faculty. Mr. Hardin has taken up his ministerial work at Rock Hill since going to YVotTord. coming over on week-ends and tilling th -> pulpit Sundays. He has won for himself an enviable record as a young pulpit orator and a devoted man. Fort Mill should count herself fortunate in securing him us a speaker. F. M. C. ^ .... u * V I < Fort Mill Negro in Chester Jail. < Tom Seigle, u F?>rt .Mill negro, i* con- < lined in Chester jail as a result of a < tight at Cleat Falls a few days ago in i which he was one of the participants. i The report of the fight states that a < bunch of nrgroes, Seigle being in the < crowd, had gathered in a negro board- ' ing house to play poker and that in the < game, one of the players, John Calhoun, < lost all his money and was cleaned out. I He flew into an ungovernable rage and < left with threats that he would have < his money hack. Shortly he returned, < accompanied by another negro, Tom i Seigle. both armed with axes, and pro- 1 ee?ii>'il to out his tin eats into execution. 1 Hi- and his partner ehurged the others 1 in the house and laid them out indis- 1 criminately. Jiattie Nelson's skul! was 1 broken. Tom Schofield received two blows on the head with an axe. Bessie Harris caught a blow from the edge of the axe, which floored her, and by this ' time the other hangers-on had di?ap- 1 peaivd in ail directions. The matter was immediately re- 1 ported to tile constable, who made a ' raid and John t'alhour. and Tom Seigie 1 were arrested. Bessie Harris claimed that she had bc? n robbed. ! > > in r-ci lit pitces, and these wi n found e:t the rson of John Caihnnn. The twomgrots ciiarged with the affray were taXe.i handcuffed to Chester and lodged in jaii. Warrants charging them with assault and batter> with intent to kill have been sworn out, but these will be changed to murder should the victims die. It is not thought that two of them can recover.
