The ball entered in the left side near the waist line and ranged downward through the stomach. Toy and Covington, who are both negroes, had been working on the farm of W. T. Hendricks, and were shooting craps Sunday when they fell out over l."> cents, which resulted in the shooting. Mr. Hendricks with difficulty succeeded in overpowering Covington and holding him until Sheriff Douglass could come from Chesterfield and take him to jail. After doing this the sheriff returned and took the wounded negro to the Florence hospital where he died of his wounds. N!

O., .Tune 23. i Editor of The Advertiser: In this week's issue of The ( Advertiser I notice an article entitled "Historic Sketches of t Chesterfield, VV. D, Craig." My name appearing at the ^ head of the column will create , the impression that 1 am its au( thor, but I knew nothing of it . until I saw the paper. A little llattery is sweet to the , iiioj.niu,y 01 me numan iamiiy r but 1 have never advertised what I have done or was doing; , though 1 have tried to do my duty, as a citizen, to my town, county and state. Will you kindly insert this in your next issue? W. D. Craig. The forgoing letter is self-explanatory, and the editor stands corrected. We admit that the head of this article as printed without introductory remarks was probably misleading. It has been a desire of this editor for some time to publish a series of historical and bioj graphical sketches, but the press i of other matters has prevented I the realiy.at.irtn of tltic aim It was while discussing the unique scheme of Mr. W. D. Craig to have an auxiliary electric light plant further down the same stream to augment the one I now in use that the sketch of last week was suggested. This week a like attempt is 1 made to call to the attention of | Chesterfield County people an. , other citizen of sterling worth, Mr. John A. Arant. The true American aristocracy is limited almost entirely to the south-eastern section of the United Slates, where the early I Scotch, Irish, Dutch and English settled and there remained. True American aristocracy makes no attempt to establish a kinship with the corrupt royialtyof Europe, but is proud of | its sturdy ancestors who coniquered the wilderness, the red j man, and then turned and whipped King George 111 and his roy; ul minions. The Children's Day service last Sunday at St. Paul Methodist Church was witnessed by a large crowd. It was the oret I ties and best managed a (lair of j the kind this editor has seen in many a day. SHILOH j Mrs. D. J. McOolman, is right sick at this writing. We hope for 1/cr a speedy rocovery. Crops are looking line in this section. Messrs. J. M. Gardner and .1. 8.

Arant 1 In the beginning of the nineteenth century the first Arant came to Chesterfield district from Pennsylvania. The Arants are descended from the Quaker sect and the first of this name to settle in this county was true to the outstanding characteristic of the early settlers of this region, and the subject of this sketch, J. A. Arant, lives only a short distance from the site of the first settlement made more than a century ago on the long hill which slopes gently to the banks of Lynches creek. This creek was formerly called by the Indians of the region Bush Wall Kiver and was noted for the CTftm? t.liat. alinniuljrl in fho swamps and lowlands. Lt has only been a short time ogo, it will be remembered,! when a large black bear was killed near the head of Bush Wall or Lynelioe Kiver. The name Lynchep is in honor of an old settlement of Lynches who ran a trading post near where Tradesville, Lancaster county, now is located. The subject of this sketch is a quiet unassuming farmer who is proud of his calling. By close application to his farm and by applying principles of scientists or which ho has worked out for himself he has been forced to enter into other lines of activity being a director in all the principal banks of this section. Still his main stay is his farm, where I 1 i * " 1 * ne nas macie good nnanciaiiy ami others might profit by his example. There was never any poorer looking land than the Arant home place when John Arant took charge, being then only a boy. And mind you this place was not bnilded with Charleston River dirt, or commercial fertili- ^ zer, whichever you are minded to call it, but raising of cattle and rotation of crops has made it into a regular garden spot. No matter how dry or how wet the seasons are there is never any change in the appearance of the crops on this land, as the plant food is in the soil and is absorbed as nature dictates. For years he has put the first bale of cotton 011 the market of Monroe, Union county N. C-, and none of your dog tail sample but some of the same kiiul of cotton that "Befo de War" had a special quotation on the Liverpool Exchange as the "Union County Cream," and commanded a price of several cents more than the regular staple. In conclusion, this article refers to common knowledge of the people of the county when it states that although quiet, peaceable and unassuming. .John A. Arant is unafraid, and more than that has ever been the balance wheel of this section which is peopled by honest hard working but impetous folks. Many a time by his cool clear judgment and love of peace has trouble been averted in this section and it has been commonly surmised that had he been present there would have been n o Trouble at l'ageland about one year ago between the two factions, that was recently settled in the criminal court of Chesterfield County.
