Wade H. Bailey Kills a Mao.
James H. 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.

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.

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.

A Card From Mr. Windie.
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.
