A sarious cutting sfray occurred at
Piedmont, on the Anderson County eide,
last Saturday night, between Clip Graham
and II .rley Hill, young men, weavers IN
the Piedmont factory. Hill was stabbed
twice In the abdomen, perforating the
intestines, and inhicting terrible wound.
After careful consultation the attending
physicians opened the abdominal cavity
and performed the very difficult operation
OF sewing up the wounded members, and
the patient is now resting very easy. The

speedy recovery is the danger of general

as medical aid was 30 long in being sent
for. 81 ,wever, this is not expected and
the patient is pronounced to be in prom
ising condition. Graham was brought tc
this city and lodged in Jail.
