Monroe Green was a refugee from justice in North Carolina last Friday night. He had crossed the river at Camp’s ferry and was making for this State. The Rev. C. M. Teale, a well known minister, had been to Sandy Run Association and was returning home. It was early in the night and Mr. Teale overtook the criminal just on this side of the ferry. Green mis took Mr. Teale for an officer and commanded him to halt. Mr. Teale thinking it was a friend who was joking with him continued to ride on toward Green, when the latter fired. The bullet struck the horse in the head, injuring him to such an extent that he afterward died. We did not learn whether the murderous scoundrel had been apprehended or not but a good place for him would be in the penitentiary. The Gowdeyville Telephone Line. It. W. Davis, of Gowdeyville, was in the city yesterday. In regard to the telephone line in which the peo ple of that section are so much in terested Mr. Davis said he had a bid from a responsible man to put in red cedar posts the entire length of the line—seventeen miles—for $150. Mr. Davis wants help from the citi zens of Gaffney in this project, and he should have it. We will never forget the unselfish work those peo ple did in behalf of the new county and now we should help them. A subscription list to help build this line has been opened at this of fice and all who feel interested are invited to call and put down the amount they are willing to give. - Cure a Cold in One Day.

For several weeks past there has been a good deal of petty thieving going on in Gaffney. Among the first to discover the fact was Mr. J. N. Lipscomb whose pistol had been stolen. Will Wagoner, alias Will Ed wards, alias Will Brown, and other wise known as the “Kid.” was arrested for the theft. Wagoner plead guilty, and was sentenced to thirty days on the county chain gang. The police were apprised of the fact that a good deal of clothing was being offered for sale by negroes around town and on evidence swore out warrants against Will Fernan dez, Will Agers, John Littlejohn, Lum Whitesides and Theodore Betty and found some of the stolen goods in their possession. In the mean time Glenn West was arrested in Gaffney and taken to Spartanburg on the charge of stealing Mr. J. T. Johnson’s watch in that city, lie was followed to Spartanburg by “Pet” Graham, his wife or paramour. A search warrant was taken out to search her effects. Some stolen ar ticles were found in her possession. She was brought to Gaffney and placed in jail. Will ager was bound ’over to court for grand larceny. Will Fernandez was lined $5 or twenty days. He paid the fine. The evidence was in sufficient to hold the others and they were discharged. A MARRIED MAN ELOPES. He Takes a Fifteen Year Old Girl With Him. About three weeks ago William Smith, a young married man who resided in Limestone township, near the line of Cherokee No. 2 township, eloped with the fifteen-year-old daughter of Mr. Pinckney Abee. Smith lived with his father, James Smith. Mr. Abee is a poor but re spectable man who lives about one mile from Smith. With him lived his fifteen-year-old daughter, Mary. Young Smith has been separated from his wife some four or live months. After separating bf? began to pay attention to Mary, the result being that the two eloped to Georgia, bast Saturday Mr. R. B. Scruggs was deputized by Sheriff Ross and Trial Justice M. B. Scruggs and went in pursuit of the guilty pair. Mr. Scruggs located them at a postoffice called Kastanollee, seven miles from Tocoa. Ga. They were stopping with a man by the name of L. H. Coe, When told they were wanted they surrendered without resistance and agreed to come back for trial. They arrived Sunday morning. A preliminary trial was held before Squire I. G. Sarratt Tuesday and Smith was remanded to jail, in de fault of a three hundred dollar bond, to await trial at the next term of court. — -«•». Harder Than Lead. About three years ago, James Lipscomb, u colored boy about 15 years of age, was accidentally shot in the center of the forehead with an air gun carrying a ball about the size of u small buck shot, "deems” was smartly stung and considerably frus trated in mind at the time, but the wound soon kindly healed and his mentuland * moral equanimity was completely restored. But this was not to be the last of it. Not long ago one of deems’ eyes began to offend him very much by showing him scenes which he did not believe were real, and particularly by exhibiting two things where deems was ready to swear there was but one. But not being of a very pious or devout turn of mind he did not obey the scriptu ral injunction to pluck it out and cast it from him, but concluded to await further developments. Last Sunday on examining" his eye, Dr. Griffith discovered a hard substance in unpleasant proximity to the soft parts of the eye and went for it with knife and forceps. It proved to be the ball from the air gun received three years ago. It was as Hat as a wafer and had all this time been slowly sliding along deems’ skull hunting for a soft place like a root under ground hunts for water. The eye is now again performing its nor mal functions, and deems is about ready to face another gun.
