Mr. Potts in an Affray.
Says the Charlotte Observer of
:Sunday:
"A fist light that created much
excitement among spectators
took place at the Southern passenger
station last night at
10:30 o'clock, the participants
being Messrs. C. L. Woodside of
Charlotte and J. H. Potts of
Greenville, S. C.
"The basis of the encounter
was the statement by Mrs. Potts
to her husband that she had
been approached by Mr. Woodside,
who was a stranger, in a
manner which she considered
insulting. 0
"Mrs. Potts arrived in Charlotte
last night on one of the
early trains from High Point and
waited here for her husband, who
came in on a later train from
Salisbury where he had been on
business. Mr. Potts is in charge
of construction work for the
Southern railroad between here
and Atlanta.
"Mrs. Potts, who is pretty
j and very young and seems a
mere slip of a girl, not yet out
of her teens, remained at the
station here. According to h#?r
narrative when she started
through the passenger way to
the exterior, thinking she heard
the train, he made an attempt to
draw her into conversation, but
she was frightened and retreated
into the building. When
her husband came she mentioned
the incident to him.
"Mr. Potts, a tall, slender
young man, clad in a straw hat
and a Palm Beach suit, told the
police that he walked over with
his wife to where Woodside was
standing and remonstrated with
him, giving him credit with
having made a serious mistake
but warning him that he should
be careful, otherwise he might
get into trouble some day. Potts
said that at this YVoodside began
1 to swear at him, whereupon the
railroad man attacked Woodside j
and there was a lively tussle for
some minutes until bystanders
intervened.
"Mr. YVoodside made a complete
denial of having approached

is charged with disorderly con- j

affray, and is out under $251
bond. Mr. Potts is charged with !
an affray and gave $10 bond.
He and wife will leave this morn-1
ing for Greenville."
Mr. Potts is a son of Mr. .las.
H. Potts of Port Mill.
ST. ELMO.
St. Elmo, the high-strung, I
sensitive scion of an aristocratic
family, discovers a clandestine
love affair between his liance
and his best friend Murray Hammond.
In a frenzy of rage he
challenges Hammond, kills him
in a duel and thereafter, his
faith in humanity shattered, he j
lives the life of a scoundrel and i
a profligate. He outrages the
feelings of his family, insults

an innocent, unsullied by conj

wins her for his ow n.
