Aiken, March 29.?In a personal difficulty on the streets of Aiken this j morning, blows were passed between j Mayor Herbert E. Gyles and Mr. Jno. j Moseley, a prominent citizen. I The difficulty arose from an incident of some days ago. It seems that the chauffeur of Mr. Moseley * had been arrested for fast and reckless driving; the case was heard before Mayor Gyles, and a fine of $5 imposed upon the driver of Mr. Moses ley's car. This morning it is stated that Mr. Moseley demanded a trial by x jury for the chauffeur, but this was refused 'by the mayor. Mr. Moseley then became incensed, passed some warm remark, whereupon Mayor Gyles placed him under arrest, demanding a bond. Bystanders say that at the words "consider yourself i under arrest," Mr. Moseley struck \ the mayor a heavy blow with his fist, and the* fencing tnen oecame genIeral until 'bystanders rushed upon the combatants and separated them, i Mr. Moseley gave bond in the sum j of $25 for appearance at the police court at such time as his case may f be called. The charge will be "resisting arrest" BLEASE BOARD GETS BOOKS. * Judge Sease Files Order in New be r- j ry Registration Case. Newberry, March 30.?An order from Judge Thos. S. Sease, signed at Abbeville, was filed with the clerk of court here to-day, directing the { clerk and the old board of registration to turn over the books and records to the board recently appointed by Gov. Blease. Mr. Fred H. Dominick, representing the Blease board, appeared before Judge Sease yesterday asking for the order. The old VrtA Tin rotnrn tft tHo mlp to | uuaiu juuauu uv w * v?*v show cause, and was not represented < at the hearing. There was a return from the clerk of court to the effect that the clerk desired direction of the court as to whom he should turn over the books. While the clerk has received a letter from the two members of the old board stating they woi^ld withdraw their contest, it was also stated in the letter that they still thought they constituted the legal board, and it was thought best by counsel for the j new board to carry on the proceedings in the court. The letter of the old board to the clerk was not before Judge Sease, , there being, as stated, no return whatever from the old board before him. Farmers Review Burned. Hampton, March 31.?The origin of the fire that destroyed the Farmers' Review, a local newspaper this morning at 2 o'clock, is still speculative. Suspicion has been aroused, but as yet the name of the person or persons has not been connected with the rumor afloat, that the fife had an incendiary origin. The Farmers' Review was successor to the Hampton County News that failed about eight months ago. At this time the machinery was sold at forced sale for a mortgage. W. T. Johns purchased the outfit for about $800 and placed E. F. Hammond in charge as managing editor. Tho nsmar has met With SU'-CCesS. AUV ?? Insurance is stated to be about $1,400.

Macon, Ga., March 30.?After a verdict of justifiable homicide had been returned to-day by tne coroner's jury in the case of G. F. Tindall, who last night shot and killed Chas. H. Taylor, the father of the dead man swore out a warrant charging Tindall with murder, and he will be held for action by the grand jury. The shooting took place at Tindall's home, when the latter found Taylor embracing his sister-in-law, Miss Lula Carter. It developed at the inquest to-day that Taylor and Miss Carter were engaged, and were to have been married to-day. Miss Carter testified that she was not resisting Taylor, as Tindall had stated. Miss Carter said that the marriage license had been secured about a week ago, and that Taylor had it in his pocket at the time he was killed.

C., March 29.?An- Bs r I n * rip ' j other example of a South Carolina ^ jury's idea of wholesomenes3 in ren- bo dering verdicts in damage-suits was be 1: the result to-day in the court of com- su ) i mon pleas here in the case of H. C. i pa 1 Huggins against the Atlantic Coast j)C Line Railroad Company. Huggins, in who was an engineer on the road, brought suit for $75,000 damages J for personal injuries, and was award- ^ ed $40,000 in the verdict returned g^. * this afternoon. October 21, 1909, Huggins. was an driving an engine pulling a freight ? train between Sumter and Robbins. ^ He charges in his petition that, at | Robbins, the engine was temporarily 1 in charge of a negro fireman by the name of Peter Wilson, that Wilson was incompetent and, when Huggins ) was boarding the engine he fell off 1 and was run over by his own engine, ' through the negligence and incompetency of the fireman. * H-e was so badly mashed and internally injured that physicians have rendered the T i opinion that he will never be able i to leave his bed. f When he was called to testify in c ' the hear'T, of the suit here, at this ' term of court, Huggins was brought to the court house on a cot, and, during the progress of his testimony, ^ stimulants were frequently administered to keep him up. The verdict for $40,000 is the l third largest ever rendered in a suit in South Carolina, and the second largest ever rendered in Barnwell county. Last year, in the case of ? Menefee against the Southern Rail- \ way Company, the jury returned a 1 verdict for $50,000 for personal in- 4 1 juries. Menefee was an engineer on H the Southern Road, who was serious ly injured in a wreck at Dent, just above Columbia. . 1 r Following the publication of the verdict in the Huggins case this af- 11 ternoon, attorneys for the Coast Line I w I served notice on the court that the B( case will be appealed to the supreme ru court. ?? ^ 813 Negro Escorts White Girl. gi Boone, la., March 28.?The annual party of the Moofe Literary Society of the Boone high school has brought ? about a discussion which threatens J to involve the whole town.
