The Jordans Slash Johnston.
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

Jhapman at once had a physician j

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
