Charles Ilyern, witi' talking to Chief Allison and Jlrooin on tin* >t,rect, when t hey heard a suspicious noUe, which led them to believe ? that someone. wii" breaking into souic freight cars which were standing on the triiek. The two Allison* went^ in one direction while Hyevs and HHioiii went in an other. When, near tin* id aw where the noise w?* heard Hyers and flroom met the negro Brown, carrying a ji*g of whis key. Without u word, the negro open ed fire emptying hispistol, killing J I room instantly. Byers opened fire on the negro shooting him through' the body and through the leg. The negro then ran into his house and secured a shot gun and <i|u>ned lire upon Chief Allison, shooting that officer through the neck. lfe -was then captured and brought t<> (Jaffney to a local hospital with very little chance for recoverypy. Dr. XcMbit, the county physician, says that while it is blindly possible for the negro to recover the chances are all against him. Sheriff Thomas is at Blnckshurg where an inquest is being held over the body of Young Broom. Mr. J < room was regardful as a. spleudid yonng man by the people of Blucksburg and his death has thrown a pall of gloom over the entire town. It is said that the feeling against his slayer is intense and it is likely that unless cooler counsel prevails an attempt will be made t<? lyn.vch the negro. Chief Allison's wounds, while pain ful, are not dangerous and it is thought that there will hi- no serious conse quences therefrom. In the absence of the. sheriff, Deputy Sheriff Watkins is in charge of the situation here. He is a cool and courageous officer. It is likely that the negro will remain in the hospital until the return of Sheriff Thomas, as Dr. Nesbit i? of the opin ion that it would not be s?t? to trans fer him to the. jail in his present criti cal condition. When the sheriff returns to (iaffney, it is possible that he may have the man removed to the county iire In* can be protected from any to take summary vengeance upon him MOTORLIFE IT LUBRICATES THE VALVES Saves Gasoline Removes CarBon IF ONCE USED ALWAYS USED What Governor Cooper Has to Say About Motorlife : Dear Sir: At your reque^ I have just made a test of Motorlife, with the following results: Six and one-third miles with plain gasoline one and one fourth quarts.
