Capt. Ji m Bell Attends a Professional
Bout
While in Greenville last week the
writer, through the courtesy of the
official referee. Capt. O- K. Mauldin,
attended a wrestling match between
Bert Hudson, champion welter-weight
wrestler, and Pete Douglas, a Scotch
Hercules.
Hudson (or Al. Ackerman, as the
sports call him) agreed to throw
Douglas three times within an hour.
The writer thought that to win a
wrestling match all one haa to do
was to throw his opponent off hlw
feet, but according to the rules gov
erning these contests the man who
wins must put both his opponent’s
shoulders to the mat for the space
of three seconds. Indeed these men
were not on their feet exceeding
three minutes during the whole con
test. and It was a novel sight to see
two men wrestling in a recumbent
position. Hudson is a wonder. W,miw
It took him twelve minutes to !■
his opponent to. the bad in the first
bout, the knowing ones said tnai he
could have won the bout. at. any time
he chose. It appeared to the novice,
however, that the men were quite
evenly matched, in spite of the fact
that Douglas was on the defensive
all the time. Hudson won the sec
ond fall within five minutes from the
commencement of the bout. Douglas
then announced that his condition
was such that he could not continue,
and this ended the match.
A contest between two men evenly
matched and in good conditior would
be an interesting sight and the
writer would very much like to se* 1
such a match “pulled off.” There
is an abundance of hard work, but
there is nothing brutal about the
sport and where the men understand
their business the danger of getting
hurt is reduced to a minimum.
ANOTHER KILLING.
Kiclttd by a Pony.
Wyatt Lipscomb, bod of Hr. and
Mra. J. C. Lipscomb, has a pretty
little pony which he rides and drives.
He Is very familiar with the little
horse and plays with him a. great
deal. Sunday evening Wyatt went
to the stable to feed him, and the
pony playfully kicked at him, Birth
ing him on the/arm, slightly fractur
ing it. The fractured limb waa
bandaged and splinted and Wyatt
will be out playing with the pony in
a few days.

other 25 gallons of another paint sold

That 25 gallon paint Is weak and

Two nogrops, named Charlie Means
anfj Frank Tucker, both employes of
the Dravo Contracting Company at
Gaston Shoals, got into a difficulty
Sunday afternoon about 3:30 o’clock,
and as a result Means Is dead and

was a woman.
Tucker fired a shot at Means when
the difficultv first started, but mlsseo
him. Within a few minutes after
this the two negroes started around
the house, going in opposite direct
ions, Means taking a crutch from_ a
crippled negro. They met at the
back of the house and Tucker fired
again, striking Means just above the
breast bone on the left side, ranging
Inward and downward, severing the
carotid artery, causing Instant death.
.Coroner VInesett. with Dr. J. N.
Nesblt, the county physician, was
soon on the scene and after empanel
ing a Jury the above facts were
brought out, and the following ver
dict was rendered: that Charlie
Means came to his death by a gun
shot wound at the hanoa m Frank
Tucker. Deputy Sheriff Lockhart
brought Tucker to jail Sunday night.
This makes the fourth Inquest
which Coroner VInesett has held at
Gaston Shoals since the work on the
dam commenced.
