curred last Friday betwee
Mack Blakeney, colored, an
Benj. Hunter, son of Mr.Wesle
Hunter of Chesterfield. Tli
boy had been to school and tli
negro came along and aske
some questions about hirein
bands. The boy asked hir
where he lived, and from tha
one thing led to another unti
the negro jumped on the bo
and knocked him down. Th
boy got up and ran, but the nc
gro overtook liim and used hi
knife on the hoy, inflicting to
cuts, one very serious one i
the back. The boy?for ho wa
only 16 years old?is not doin
well and his wounds are consid
ered serious, especially one i
the back. The negro disap
peared and has not yet bee
(captured; but Sheriff Ilunte
and some others are on th
lookout for him.
The Lef/inlature.
The legislature convened a
noon yesterday and the hous
went into tho election of speak
er, which resulted in the selec
tion of Mendal L.Smith of Cam
den. Our information came b
! /i i "?
wny 01 unraaen ana was to t!i
effect that "Smith was electe
by a large majority."
We had hoped that a Lancas
ter man, Mr. T. Y. Williams
would be made speaker, but i
appears that Mr. Smith got th
inside track oil him in som
way.
But Lancaster was "in it1
when it came to the selection c
a sergent-at-arms for the house
Mr. J. S. Wilson was re electe
by a goood majority. He ha<
two opponents.
lAinca*terfn Cotton lleceipta.
As may be seen by referenc
to the ginners' report publishei
elsewhere in these columns, th
crop of cotton grown in Lancas
ter countv th? nn?t poop wo
about 19,801 bales. Of tha
crop about 11,800 bales hav
been and will be marketed ii
Lancaster. Mr. Nisbet,weigher
has already weighed, since tli
1st of September, 10,350 bales
and he estimates that he wil
weigh about 1,200 bales mor
between now and August 31st
That, with about 2oo bales tha
are stored in the warehouses a
the cotton mill by private par
ties and not weighed by tli
public weigher, represents th
quantity of cotton that wil
have been marketed here durin
tlio cotton year 19o2-3. Las
year Mr. Nisbet weighed onl;
8,9oo bales during the entir
year?i. o. of the crop of 19o'i-2
It will bo seen, therefore, tha
the receipts here during thocur
rent year are about 2,9oo bale
more tnan for the previous yeai
At Kershaw 7,5oo bales liav
been marketed, and at Heatl
Springs about 3,ooo. Tha
makes about 22,3oo bales tbn
havo been marketed at the thre
principal points in the count}
It will be seen that the amoun
marketed at these threo point
is considerably in excess of th
amount ginned in the county
- That excess represents the
amount of cotton grown in adjoining
counties, but marketed
. in this county.
