NIX TELLS INTEREST ING TALE WANDERED AFAR fled the County and Lived Ad ven tur otu Life in Texas and Oklahoma. . Several ntunthu ago in Greenville, there was a case that eame before the eyes cf thc Piedmont public, in which Jefferson D. Nix was charged with some ucnious crimes which the authorities nlleged were perpetrated against bis nelce. Nix came near be ing lynched in Greenville and nfter somo tinto was finally lodged in tho jail- for safo keeping until a trial could be had. At tho trial Fr ht. y he wai acquitted ol the crimes and set free. During the time that the stir was' made in Greenville, there was an old man named F. F. Nun nal y who was at the Greenville . countv homo. Ho brought out another charge, or rath er brought to light a sentence that awaited Nix In Andemon county. Thore waa much Bald about tho Nlx ?unhaly cate in tho newspapers and eoavi of tho newsnaoer men of tim city began a search for a sealed sen tence that vas Buppoeed to be here In Anderson awaiting the man Nix. After searching through all or the rf cords o' Vu-i i.vur* fur the term o? cr.urt la which Nix was 'tried and convicted of asBau'.i and battery of s high and aggravated nature, the pa per was found. Th? paper waa old abd moth oaten dated June 22, 1892, but preserved enough to tell Just what it was and tc have the writing on it perfectly legible. It then seom that tb.% imper would never be op ened for tilings looked dark of Nix ever having a chance to leave Green ville alive. When finally arraigned and havin ga fair trial the man was acquitted but lmmediaely on 'being set' free he was re-arrested hy the Anderson sheriff and brought back here where the old sentence awaited hlrh. j Clerk of Court Fearman read the scntonco early Friday morning and Nix, ot his own request was immed iately committed to jail to begin serving his sentence of 1100 or SO days. I Nix is an interesting talker and when seen lr jail yesterday he was untiling loath to talk to a reporter1 for The Intolllgoacar. Nix said that lie little thought he would ever hear again of the Anderson episode and 4hat he had not thought of U in years until be was asked by v>. newspaper man, while awaiting trial in Green ville, as to whether or not the affair ever, oecurrod. Hi then remembered thc' whole incident und found that he Reduced GINF Beginning ?oday nine, bagging and Good Equipment? Prompi Farmers Excelsior WHS goiug to have to return herc for trial. He doen not think that lie should be punished ut all for what he did hut he says that he (irmly ex pected to receive sentence of about one year nt hard labor und he was therefore "tirkled to death" when he j heard Clerk of Court Pearman pro nounce sentence. "Young fellow, yon don't look to be over 22 or 23 years old yourself," caid Nix this morning while talking to the reporter. "This thing happen ed away back about the time you wore born but I remember it as though It were yesterday. I had some trouble with Nunnully about my horse getting over on his land and when I went to his house that night with Rub Brooks I hado a rope halter in my hanrf which I intended putting on the horse. That Is thc way old man Nunnally got the idea into his head that I used a whip on him. When we got to his house one word brought on another and I don't remember which one of us knocked the gun out ot Nunnally'B hands. One of us did and then I put the rope to him and we left him. He says that ho was pretty badly hurt but I don't think wo treated him much rough." Following tho affair, both Nix and Brooks got but of jail on bond and then thov skipped the country. The 'talea told by the man now* In Jail are full of humor and very interesting. He sayB that ho and his partner man aged to get tn Alabama and settled ! ?own ibero for a i'ew months, Brooks was quite content but Nix did not think, that he was far away enough from home to keen the officers froth getting on his track BO he bade Bror.Vn faramoll ?~t CC-iii?S? lita Journoys. He went on to Texas and punched cows for awhile, leading an easy and carefroe life, and then he went to Oklahoma where he lived un til he decided to return to Green*H>e. He had not been In Grenville long when tho trouble about his niece turn ed up and Nix was placed in Jail. He says that he actually thought at one time that they might hat\g him over in Greenville county without ever giv ing him a trial but tha: lt was easy sailing after his caso was called and he had no trouble in getting acquit ted. He "ays that bp.honestly meant tc go out to the poor farm and visit old man Nunnally and see just what he had to say about tho 'ffeht, just the day he got out of jail but before he could carry his plana* into execu tion the Anderson ' sheriff had him and brought him back here on the old charge. Nix ls said to have acquired con siderable property in Oklahoma and it is reported that he engaged his Greenville attorneys to defend bim in the Greenville case and the Anderson caae as well and gave them several hundred acres of Oklahoma farm land as a retainer. ? Commenting yesterday on the hun dred and one different changes tak ing place In Anderson since he was last herc. Nix says that there was hardly any court house at all here when he was tried ' before and that tho handsome now building is In an entirely dlffe-ut place. He remem bers thai Anderson had f. make-shift for a Jail somewhere In the neighbor Price In UNG ' our prices for gin ties will be er Bale Good Work, t Service.

Nt*?; Gr vs that he never saw Drooka again af.cr he left him In Alabama, but he baa heard that Brooks is dead. Whether or not this I? true he docs not know. Nix said yeste-day that one of his three Greenville attorneys. Dean, ('otiiian or Price, would come to An derson today and steps will be taken to have bim freed. He believes that tho court will take cognizance of his appeal for a new hearing and will consider giving him his freedom, on account of the fact that so many years have elapsed since the affair took place and the additional fact that no lasting harm was done. Nix has great faith in bis brilliant array of legal talent from Greenville and he is conildcnt that thov will ho able to do something for him when they reach Anderson today.
