SALES.DAY.


There was quite a large attendance in town
last Monday, sales-day for March, and as the
day was damp and chilly, it was admirably
adapted to furnish to the lovers of the ardent a
pretext for indulging their propensity, which
was done to some extent, several persons being
on the streets late in the afternoon in a hila-
rious frame of mind. AL passed off quietly,
however, with the exception of the alteration
between Hall and Town-Marshal O'Farrell,
noted elsewhere.
The only official sale was by the Sheriff, who
by virtue of writs of feri facias sold the inter-
est of John S. Mcneil in a tract of land situa-
ted in York county, on the Chester line, con-
tanning about seventy acres. Sold at the suit
w. T. d. Cousar e. Son VS.. John S. Mcneil.
On offering the property the Sheriff announced
the terms of sale to be cash, and if the pur-
chaser failed to comply within fifteen minutes
after the auctioneer received the bid, at the
expiration of the fifteen minutes the property
would be re-sold. 1t was bid off by John S.
Mcneil at 1925; but failing to comply, the
Sheriff, according to his announcement, offered
it again. Mr.. w. T. D. Cousar bid 1926. Mr..
Mcneil bid $50, but the Sheriff would notrecog-
nize the bid, and the land was accordingly
knocked down to Mr.. Cousar.
THE TRIANGULAR MARRIAGE.
We have printed several statements in regard
to the mar rage Of Miss Florence Little, of
Gaffney City, as alleged, to W husbands, both
living, and The two ceremonies alleged to have
been performed within eleven days. The fol-
lowing, published in the Charlotte Chronicle of
last Wednesday, appears to come from the
"woman in the case,' and as it is the only au-
thoritative statement we have seen from her or
her friends, we reproduce it. The Chronicle
says:
Our correspondent at Gaffney City writes us,
under date of the 18th; as follows, in regard to
the matrimonial business about which there
has been recently so much talk miss Little
is at this place at present. She stoutly denles
that she ever has been married to Mr.. Mintz,
and seems very indignant at the report. she
says she has not seen Rev. Mr.. Carter (who, it
is alleged, married herself and Mintz) in ten
years, and that although Mintz and Carter may
say she had married Mintz, still it is emphat-
ically untrue. As to whether her tale be true
or not, it is not for me to say ; but she certainly
impresses one that she speaks the truth.
'She says DR.. Atkinson did not want her to
leave him, but she would not do him the in
justice to live with him while such a report was
against her, or at least, until she could estab-
lish the untruthfulness of it. This, at least,
shows a true womanly spirit in her and it
surely shows the right kind Of feeling in DR..
Atkinson to believe what she says"
In addition to the above, the Chronicle of
Friday says:
DR.. D. G.. Atkinson, of Chester, S. c., passed
through the city last nightwith his bride, Miss
Little, whose supposed marriage with a young
man named Mint, a few days previous to her
marriage with Mr.. Atkinson, has created SO
much talk. DR.. Atkinson has been in Gatf-
ney's investigating the matter, and says that he
is fully convinced of tho truthfulness of his
wife's statement. She stoutly AYERS that the al
legged marriage with Mintz never took place,
and that he got up the report, out Of jealousy,
merely to injure her in the eyes of DR.. Atkln-
son. Our Gaffney City correspondent says that
the people there commend DIR. Atkinson's
course in the matter.
Butt in the face of these statements, Mr.. Au-'
