Many of the farmers of the township are complaining of no place to hitch their teams when they come to town, one farmer saying Saturday that he supposed the country people wou d have to go to Pineville, where there is ample hitching room, to trade.

The Rock Hill Herald of Monday told of an affray that took place Saturday night in the village of the Highland Park mill, in the outskirts of Rock Hill, in whick T. P. S. Jordan and two sons, J. H. Jordan and Rufus Jordan, assaulted Willian Johnston, a son-in-law of the elderJordan, with knives and in which Johnston was painfully slashed about the body. The Jordans and Johnston formerly lived in Fort Mill anci are well! known in this corninunity. Says The Herald: The three Jordans, the former being father of the others, went to the home of Johnston, who married Jordan's daughter, Saturday afternoon and all of the parties having imbibed rather freely of "mountain dew" a row was started, resulting in Johnston being badly cut by J. H.! Jordan and the latter getting two slight stabs. The evidence tended to show that the Jordans instigated the row and Johnston was discharged. Johnston was cut across the ear, the hand, and there were gashes in his back and breast. Young Jordan received a slight stab on the back of his right hand and a cut in the back. He stated that Johnston cut him and that Johnston precipitated the row by cutting at him. The stories'told by the three Jordans did not tally in several details, the elder Jordan stating that h? was pretty full and could not remember clearly all that occurred. His Honor imposed a fine of $25 on J. H. Jordan, while Rufus Jordan was fined $25. The elder Jordan was let off with a $10 fine. Immediately after sentence had been given Constable Allen served a warrant on the three Jordan?, charging them with as sault and battery with intent to kill, the warrant having been sworn out by Johnston. Coiored Woman Disappears. The colored people of Pineville, across the line in North Carolina, are considerably stirred up over the disappearance of Mary Huntley, colored, who was last seen Sunday morning, and her husband, Pat Huntley, a laborer on the farm of Mr. J. A. Culp, is under arrest, suspected of knowing more of her whereabouts than he has yet told. The woman and her husband had not lived together for some time and rpoentlv she has been employed as a cook in Pineville. Sunday morning she left her home as usual to go to work, her way leading through a body of woods. Pat Huntley is said to have been seen slipping through the woods about the time his wife would pass along and is supposed that his errand was to intercept her. Parties of colored people are searching for the woman and most of them are confident that she has met with foul play at the hands of her husband. The Primary for Attorney General. Considerable interest is being manifested in Fort Mill over the Democratic primary to he held next Tuesday to nomidate a candidate for Attorney General, the candidates in the primary being J. Fraser Lyon and Thos. H. Peoples. Relative to the probable result of the primary, Mr. W. B. Wilson. Jr., of Rock Hill, stated a few days ago that it seemed to be the impression in Spartanburg, Greenville, Anderson and Columbia, which cities lip had inst visited in connection with the inquiry into the August primary, that the race would be close, with the chances somewhat in favor of Mr. Peeples. Several small bets, at 1 to 1. have been made in Fort Mill on the outcome of the election. Wocdrow Wilson's Prolber-in-Law. The attention of The Times has just been called 10 the fact that Fort Mill was the temporary home some years ago of a young man who is now the brother-inlaw of Governor Wood row Wilson, of New Jersey, Democratic nominee for the Presidency. About 30 years ago when the Fort Mill Academy was in the hev-dey of its usefulness and prosperity as a preparatory high school, with Prof. A. K. Banks as the superintendent, ot.e of the numerous students who came here to attend the academy was I. S. K. Axson, of Georgia. During his school days in Fort Mill, Mr. Axson stayed at the home of the late Dr. J. H. Thornwell. After completing the course under Prof. Banks he graduated nt Davidson College and later entered Princeton I" liversit.v, where he has been a professor for several years. It was about the time Mr. Axson was attending school in Fort Miil that his sifter n.anitd Woociiow Wilson in Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Wilson was then a practicing attorney in the capital city of Georgia. Should Open This Road. A matter which should he of mutual interest to the people of Rock Hill and Fort Mill is the proposition which was recently discussed hereof the advisability of urging the board of county commissioners to reopen for the use of the public the road leading to the old Nation ford on Catawba river, near the bridge of the Southern Railway. The distance between Fort Mill and Rock Hill by way of the ford is eight miles, while the distance between the towns by the way of the county river bridge road is thirteen miles. Farmers are delighted with j the present fair weather. County Stirred Over Bond Is*ue. It now looks as if the court house bond issue, which will be i decided in the general election, r will cause a sharp division of the ( county during the remainder of 1 the month, says the Rock Hill j 1 correspondent of the Charlotte ( News. It h~s been understood I < that no active fight was to be 1 made to carry the issue and the s matter has almost been forgotten < in the eastern part of the county. 11 However, now that the people of : the western half of the county i have begun activities and will i wage a campaign in favor of the I issue, it is more than probable ] that those opposed to issuing i bonds for the new court house I will become active. It is under < stood that a number of people in < the western section of the coun- 1 ty are against the issue, while J the eastern portion is almost solid < against it. Nevertheless, those who are opposing the issue will make sure their stand by getting' busy. < It is pointed out by those fa- j voring the issue that the present j court house is totally inadequate \ to meet the needs of the county, j more room being needed in all { departments. The present build- . ing, too. is poorly ventilated. ( The opposition contends that an j expenditure of less than $10,000 \ would provide an addition to the ( present building and make such j changes that the court house j would be amply adequate to meet \ the needs of the county for years ( to come. The election is but four weeks away and if a campaign is waged it will doubtless 1 _ ue a vigorous uue. c Killing in Lancaster County. \ As the result of a grudge of ( long standing, Edward Gregory i was killed and Oliver H. Watson * was seriously wounded Friday in ^ a difficulty that took place near the town of Kershaw. It seems I that Gregory and Watson, both in buggies, met in the public t road and as they started to pass s each other the buggy wheels became locked and both men commenced shooting. Gregory was ' instantly killed, being shot in J the head, and Watson was shot * in the left lung. There is little 1 hope for the recovery of Watson. tGregory was formerly a patrol- " man on the Lancaster police force. He was 27 years old and ' unmarried. Watson is a man of 1 50 years and has a wife and six [ children. J Prof. Frank Potts' Lectures. c?,.r. Tim Pmf Prank Oclj O 1 1JU UUttV* X 1 , G.

B. j Uhapman, a few miles north of Fort Mill, when Mr. Chapman's ittle two-year-old boy was acci-' lentally run over by a wagon. iriven by a colored laborer on :he place.

Mr. Jhapman at once had a physician j Iress his son's wounds and at ast reports the little fellow was getting along as well as could be ?xpected. Cause of Pellagra Still a Mystery. That the cause of pellagra is ?till a mystery so far as the med- i cal profession is concerned; that ;here is no reason to suppose ;hat the disease is directly infec:ious; that there is no known specific remedy for the disease ind that the disease constitutes me of the most pressing probems of public health in the Uni:ed States at present," were the conclusions expressed in resolu:ions by the National Congress for the Study of Pellagra at the j inal session Satnrday of its trimniaal meeting in Columbia.
