Davis, a resident of lharlotte, died Thursday night i the Presbyterian hospital of hat city as a result of gunshot /ounds inflicted upon him Wedesday morning by Wade H. lailey. Davis was shot three imes, one of the balls perforating he intestines, causing his death. Wade H. Bailey, the man who hot Davis, is well known in 'ort Mill township, having been eared on the Springs place, a ew miles north of this city. He 5 a brother of Mrs. V. B. Casey nd Mrs. D. M. Culp of Fort till. Several years ago Bailey >st his right arm while operating corn shredder. He has a wife nd five children. The difficulty while led to the hooting of Davis took place last /ednesday morning, when he nd Bailey met at Cathey's tore, in the neighborhood of the outhern Cotton Oil mill, in . ...i outn unariotie, wucic uo?cj olds a night position. The men rere next-door neighbors and it as said that there had been bad deling between the two families or some time about a well in le neighborhood from which oth families used water. Bailey 'as on his way home a few linutes before 7 o'clock when e met Davis in the street, lailey asked Davis about some emarks which he (Davis) had nade about him. For answer, ccording to Bailey's statement, )avis attacked him, beating him ?ver the head with his fists and 1 fitting him with a rock. Seeing hat he was about to be overKowertd, and perhaps killed, Bailey, so he states, drew his )istol, a 38-calibre, and shot1 hree times, each ball taking effect. Bailey did not leave Davis ifter the shooting but remained vith him until the officers, whom | le summoned, arrived. He asfisted the officers in getting j Davis in the ambulance and accompanied him to the Presby;erian hospital. As soon as they irrived Bailey accompanied the jfficers to the police station and >ent for his attorney. The only eyewitness to the shooting was a colored man, who testified as to ;he correctness of the statements nade by Bailey as 10 the cause )f the shooting. Judge Walker, of the Supreme ;ourt of North Carolina, on Monday heard the evidence in ;he habeas corpus proceedings ind named $10,OCX) as the amount >f bond Bailey must furnish ere le is restored to freedom. Doubt was entertained as to whether Bailey could furnish :he required bond. Betting On the Election. As the time for the primary election draws nearer, interest in this city as to the outcome increases notably. On the streets Saturday it was learned that several wagers had been placed and that other offers had been made but had not been taken. The betting, it was said, was principally upon the outcome of the governor's race. Money was offered even and found several takers as to the outcome of the governor's race in the State and county, while two to one was offered that Blease would carry the Fort Mill box, but no one was willing to accept the chance. For the information of those who may not know, the vote for governor in Fort Mill in the second primary in 1910 was Blease, 3 79; Featherstone, 89. In York county the vote in the second election was Blease, 1,670; Featherstone, 1,788. The County Candidates.

Warm Political Race in Indian Land. Aside from the great interest being taken here in State, county and local politics, Fort Mill people generally are deeply interested in the present threecornered race for magistrate in Indian Land township of Lancaster county, Which embraces the Barbersville, Pleasant Valley and Belaire settlements. The three aspirants for the office of magistrate in Indian Land are Messrs. D. K. Hall, the incumbent, D. 0. Potts and Joseph Howie, all three of whom are well known in this city. Mr. Potts was for a number of years a resident of Fort Mill, serving the town several terms as mayor. His administration of the town's affairs was entirely satisfactory and the opinion is freely expressed here that the voters of Indian Land would make no mistake by electing him to the office which he now seeks. Appendicitis Claijgs Fort Mill Man. Thomas Wolfe, a young man who has for several months been employed in one of the mills in this city, died Saturday afternoon at a Charlotte hospital of appendicitis, following an operation a week before. The body was brought to Fort Mill on an early morning train Sunday and the burial was at the city cemetery, after services at the Methodist church by Rev. T. J. White. Mr. Wolfe was the youngest son of H. W. Wolfe, formerly of Fort Mill but now living at North Charlotte. He was about 25 years of age and is survived by a wife and one child. There are also surviving his parents and several brothers and sisters. m,. WaIfo was n voune man 1U1 ? ? VI AW t? Viw ?. ^ 0 who was well liked by all who knew him and his somewhat sudden death was the cause for much regret with his friends. Will Use Traction Plow. The first traction plow to be used in Fort Mill township will be put in operation in a short time on the plantation of Mr. F. Nims, one of the township's most progressive farmers. A representative of N. Brumley, of Nashville, Tenn., visited Fort Mill the last week and sold one of these machines to Mr. Nims, 1 and the machine is expected to reach Fort Mill about the 15th I of September. The plow is of I 25 horse-power, carrying sia utac plows that cut from four to ten ; inches in depth and a five-foot | swath at each operation. The | machine is propelled by gasoline. On account of the ever growing ; scarcity of farm labor the operation of this plow on the Nims place will be watched with interest by the farmers of this section and if its work is satisfactory , others doubtless will be put to use hereabouts in the near future. Destructive Cyclone at Clover. The Sunday papers carried brief accounts of a very destructive wind storm which struck the town of Clover, this county, Saturday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock. The wind attained a velocity of between 75 and 100 miles an hour and hail fell to the depth of an inch or more. The storm cut through a space about four miles in width, totally destroying the growing crops and damaging many buildidgs. The Clover cotton mills were destroyed, being razed to the ground, the loss will probably reach $200,000. A number of dwellings were blown down and nearly every dwelling and business house in the town were damaged. Electric wires and uprooted trees comnletely blocks traffic. Many of the mill operatives lost all their effects and many I narrow escapes are reported. Facts Regarding the Primary Election.

Editor Fort Mill Times: The report that is being circu- j lated in Fort Mill by designing persons to the effect that my visit to Columbia last Saturday was made in the interest of Mr. C. P. Blankenship, one of the j candidates for township supervisor, is absolutely false. My trip to Columbia was unknown to Mr. Blankenship, and concerned a matter entirely foreign to the candidacy of Mr. Blankenship. Very respectfully, W. H. Windie. Gold Hill, Aug. 5. A Beautiful Thought. I have loved the feel of the grass under my feet and the sound of the running streams by my side. The hum of the wind in the tree-tops has always been music to me, and the face of the fields has often comforted me more than the faces of men. I am in love with this world be 1 T kova cause uy my cuuauiuuuii * u?>v nestled lovingly in it. It has been home. It has been my point of lookout into the universe. I have not bruised myself against it, nor tried to use it ignobly. I have tilled its soil, I have gathered its harvests. I have waited upon its seasons, and always have I reaped what I have sown. While I delved I did not lose sight of the sky overhead, and while I gathered bread and meat for my body, I did not neglect to gather its bread and meat for my soul. I have climbed its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed its deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and joy waited upon my go-1 ings and comings.?John Burroughs.
