Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Downs and
children, of Pineville, spent Sunday
with relatives in Fort Mill.
Miss Ola Crowder has accepted
a clerkship in the dry
foods department of Massey's
store.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Shannon,
who have been visiting at the
home of Rev. W. A. Hafner,
have returned to their home at
/ Sharon.
Her Fort Mill friends will regret
to learn that Mrs. E. Guy

In a case which recently went
up on appeal from Colleton
county, the State supreme court
ruled that a policeman is responsible
for any damage he does
in shooting at a fleeing prisoner.
The condition of Mr. W. B.
Steele, who has been ill at his
home on east Booth street, is reported
as precarious. Mr. Steele's
disease has been diagnosed as
pellagra and he is a very sick
man.
A farmer of the Wax haw section
of Union county in a private
letter a few days ago to a citizen
of Fort Mill says that no rain has
fallen in his community in many
weeks, the result being that the
prospect for a crop is very discouraging.
Contracter A. A. Bradford has
almost completed a new home for
Mr. J. M. Gamble on the Steele
Creek road two miles north of
Fort Mill. It will be remembered
that Mr. Gamble lost his home
and household goods by fire one
night about two months ago.

this community went over to
Rock Hill Wednesday of last
week to inspect the WinthropClemson
demonstration train and
all were highly pleased with the
exhibits and the addresses of the
several professors who had
charge of different departments.
The United States weather bureau
on Sunday sent out from
Washington the pleasing information
that this week's weather
had some surprises in store in the
way of cooler weather. The
bureau saw an abnormally high
barometric pressure over the interior
of Canada and Alaska,
and relatively low pressure on
the Atlantic ocean the conditions
that will usher in a cool wave.
Next Tuesday evening at the
auditorium a score or more children
will present a play, entitled
"The Fairy Play," for which rehearsals
under the supervision
and instruction of Mrs. Lillie
Atwater have been held for several
weeks. The play doubtless
will be well worth the small price
of admission and, as the proceeds
will be used for charitable purposes,
a large crowd should be
present.
As a result of the competitive
rifle shoot on the range of the
Fort Mill Light Infantry some
days ago, Lieut. S. W. Parks,
Corporals W. R. Belk and George
Potts, and Private B. Blankenship
left Fort Mill Sunday evening
for Charleston, where this
week they are taking part in the
rifle contest from which a team
will be selected to represent
South Carolina in the national
shoot at Camp Perry, Ohio, within
a few weeks.
The government entomologists

these instructions to owners of
kpine timber: Don't cut any living
pine during July. August, September
or October. Don't cut
any dead pine during July, Auonist

f Don't cut at all without availing
yourself of the advice of the
government experts.
The people of York county, in
common with the people of other
counties of the State, will be inIterested
to know that the board
of trustees of the Thornwell
orphanage at Clinton has adopted
a resolution asking the release of
Dr. W. I*. Jacobs from the pastorate
of the First Presbyterian
church, of Clinton, which position
he has held for the past
forty-seven years. The release
of Dr. Jacobs from the church is
asked in order that he may devote
his entire time to his duties
as superintendent of the Thornwell
orphanage.

from Fort Mill and Rock Hill to

The Fort Mill ball team re-l
H turned Friday morning from
Abbeville where it played and
lost the entire series of three
games to the Abbeville team.
It was a case of amatuer ball
players trying to defeat a team
of semi-professional hired players,
and Fort Mill couldn't win.
However, the few runs-11 which
Abbeville's near-professionals
were able to make in the
M three games is proof that Fort
Mil! his one of the strongest
aU-home teams in the State.

Pistol Duel on Excursion.
With John Reeves, colored,
dead, and Special Policeman Robert
Eskridge and John Wilson
suffering with gunshot wounds,
a negro excursion returning from
Columbia to Charlotte reached
Fort Mill Thursday evening at
! 8 o'clock. The shooting took
' place at a point two miles south
i of Fort Mill and near Grattan.
The dead negro and wounded
officers were removed from the
train at this place and the two
latter given medical attention until
the arrival an hour later of
northbound passenger train No.
j 32, when they were taken on to
Charlotte and rushed to a hospital.
The cause of the difficulty j
?-qc vofnsnl r>f Rppvps tn snr- I
render his pistol to the officers.
The negro was seated in the1
smoking car and fired his pistol
out of the window. Policeman
Wilson heard the report and entering
the smoker demanded of
Reeves that he surrender his gun.
Instead the negro opened fire.
Policeman Eskridge came in just
behind Officer Wilson and seeing
the battle between his friend and
the negro also opened fire on the
latter. Several shots were exchanged
and Reeves fell back in
his seat dead. Officer Eskridge
was shot in the right side and
was dangerously wounded, the
bullet having passed through his !
right lung. Officer Wilson received
only a slight wound in his
right leg.
The pistol used by the colored
man was of the most approved
. pattern, a Colt automatic, firing a
steel bullet of .32 caliber. Four of
the six cartridges had been fired.
The revolver which brought destruction
upen the negro was a
Smith & YVesson .32 caliber, the
regulation gun of the Charlotte
police force. From all that could
be learned, the negro was named
John Reeves, and drove a dray
in Rock Hill. He had already
passed his home at the time of
the shooting, evidently bound for
Charlotte.
Questioned as to the shooting, ,
Officer Wilson gave this account "
of the affair:
"I was standing on the plat- i
* .? * 1 | A
form ol the tnira coacn, wnen my
attention was attracted by <
I the sound of pistol shots in the
smoking car of the train. I immediately
entered and saw a
negro firing his pistol out of the
window of the car. I ordered
him to hand over the pistol to me,
and he replied, 'I won't hand
o\'er nothing. I'll shoot you, d?n
you.' As he prepared to arise
from his seat. I struck him with
my fist, and grasped i?s wrist.
As we were struggling between
the seats, the negro fired twice,
and I heard Eskridge say 'My
God, John. I am dead.'
"Up to this time I had not
noticed his presence in the coach.
He was standing in the aisle, and .
one of the wild shots from the
pistol had struck him in the side. ;
When I heard his cry, I looked
up and saw him fall, and draw- :
ing my pistol I fired one time, [
killing the man instantly. The '
negro was left doubled up in the '
seat, just as he was shot, and 1
calling the train crew, we car
ried Eskridge into the baggage
car. I cannot say whether Eskridge
fired or not. The negro's
body was put off at Fort Mill,
where I will attend a coroner's <
inquest in the morning. I could
not say whether the negro was <
drunk or not."
Officers Wilson and Eskridge
are well known in Fort Mill, each
having within the past few years
lived here and worked in the <
cotton mills of this city. The two
had been employed by the man- i
agement of the excursion to preserve
order and it was in the discharge
of this duty that the men
became envolved with the negro
Reeves.
Last reports from the Charlotte
hospital in which Mr. Eskridge
is being cared for were to
the effect that he had pneumonia
and that his condition was indeed
precarious.

About Paint. t
Never before should pure paint be
appreciated than now. With the nigh 1
cost of materials that enter into its .
manufacture comes encouragement for
the appearance on the market of all 1
kinds of substitutes and adulterants. .
Pure paint is composed of pure carbon
ate lead, sulphate zinc, linseed oil and a 1
little turpentine dryer and practically .
every manufacturer who makes such a
product, prints this guarantee in a con- 1
spicuous place on the can and is proud .
of it. Look for it and see if it is there.
If not it is a loo to 1 shot you are not ?
getting what is regarded as a pure paint. ,
The average painter is no chemist, f~
besides he may be influenced by offers
r< ward or premiums for the use of a | II
certain paint. The dealer does not
know. He goes by the rt,nutation of
the manufacturers, and may be influenced
by extra profit. But if it is
down in black and white, signed by a
real manufacturer, you have your guarantee
and it is good. However, paint
may be adulterated to various extents
and then be good paint, but the price
to you should be adulterated in proportion.

Homestead Paint we have two Paints
