ABOUT A WOMAN.

A shooting scrape, which will probably
amount to homicide, occurred OH Mr..
Frank Rawlinson's place, near Rock
Hill, last Saturday, between two Negroes
named Will Erwin and Will Steele.
The difficulty is supposed to have been
about woman. The story is that Erwin
had had falling out with his wife some
time before and the two hoD parted. Err
win desired to bring about reconciliation;
but Steele was in the way, and the shooting
was the result. Erwin shot Steele in the
side with pistol, producing wound
which, though at last accounts had not
done its work, will probably prove fatal.
Erwin came to Yorkville on Monday to
give himself up. The sheriff was not in
town at the time, and the Negro did some
talking to various people. To Mr.. Tom
Thomasson, he said: "Ain't l brave
I've killed a man and have come here to
be put in jail" He went on to say that
Steele had followed him up, and that he
had done the shooting in self-defense.
This he could prove by large number
of witnesses who saw the whole affair.
Later in the day, the Negro retained
D. E. Finley, Esq, for his defense, and
from thence forward, of course, quit
talking. Upon the return of Sheriff Lo-
gan from Rock Hill, in the afternoon,
Erwin surrendered himself to the law,
and is now in Jail awaiting developments.
He is about 81 years of age, Negro OF
more than average intelligence, and evil
IDENTIFY believes that he was fully justified
in doing the shooting.

MURDER IN GASTONIA.

Mr.. Lamar Pegram, of the Banks
High school, brings news of a tragedy
which occurred in Gastonia, \. c., last
Sunday afternoon at about 4 o'clock.
John Shannon, Negro, killed white
man named Cannon. There was only
one witness to the tragedy, and he is a
Negro. From such information as has
developed, it appears that the two princi-
pals to the affair got into dispute over a
game of cards. The Negro shot Cannon
in the side with pistol, cut his throat
with knife, and stabbed him in the
breast and stomach, and after he was dead
left the country.
The dead man was the night watchman
at the coffin factory. His widow says
that when he left town he had in his
pocket S. or Sc; but when found, after
the killing, there remained only so cents.
The murderer is a dark Negro who
weighs about 40 pounds. His right
thumb was cut off at the first joint not
long ago, and the wound has not yet
entirely healed. Which way he went
after the murder, is not known; but
it is not improbable that he came over
into York county. The Gastonia au-
thorities have offered a reward for bis
arrest

THE MANCHESTER MILL.

While in Rock Hill the other day, the
reporter took advantage of an opportu-
nifty to visit the new Manchester Cotton
mill, of which Mr.. J. R. Barron is presi-
dent, manager and principal owner.
l. Right now is not generally supposed TO
be first rate time on cotton mills; but
if the Manchester is in anyway feeling
the existing depression, there is certainly
no indication of that fact anywhere
around the premises, or in the genulnely
enthusiastic talk Of Mr.. Barron.
The Manchester mill is generally con-
ceded to be model in every particular
structure, cottages, surroundings, power,
machinery and help. 1t has been Ill
operation only about a year, but already
it has built up reputation for the su-
perior quality of goods it is turning out
and created special demand for its pro-
ducts.
"And we have won another distlnc-
tion,n said Mr.. Barron to the reporter.
"Heretofore one of the mills at Kings
Mountain has had the credit of getting
of more yards of clio. h per loom per day
than any other mill in the south. After
a consultation with my superintendent,
Mr.. w. w. Moore, we decided that with
such machinery and facilities as we have,
we could beat them. Then proposed to
the boss weavers that if they would get
me up all average of 274 yards per day to

COURSE OF COTTON.

THE ENQUIRER is instructed to quote
the local cotton market today as still rang
ing from u to u. The situation in New
York last Monday, ,as described by Messrs.
Riordan & Co., was as follows:
The monthly cotton report of the bu-
reau of agriculture was issued today. IL
fell upon market in which business was
almost at a standstill. The local traders
considered it's estimate of an increase in
cotton acreage of nearly 6 per cent. as q
vindication of their bearish views and
sold freely. Liverpool and New Orleans
also sent selling orders here. The specu-
lative demand was limited and these offer
ings resulted in sharp break in prices.
The market opened later in sympathy
with not unfavorable dispatch. but IL
ouidation set in Immediately. after the
opening and prices declined slowly until
the announcement of the governments
figures, when the weakness became
pronounced and continued 50 until just
before the close, when short covering
cause a slight rally. August opened at
$50, declined to 7.43, advanced to LAO,
broke to 7.36, reacted to 7.3S and closed at
7.37 to 7.3S with the tone of the market
steady. The bureau report has intensified
the general bearish sentiment, but unless
Liverpool breaks sharply, we think Its
effect is over.

ANOTHER ATLANTA SENSATION.

Police Run Down u Young Highway
Atlanta's "prominent" young men
seem to be a bad lot. Another one OF
them is in serious trouble on the
charge of highway robbery.
Shortly after midnight, Sunday
morning, George o. Stanford, a Davis
street merchant, went to the police
department, and reported that upon
leaving his store, few minutes before,
he had been accosted by highwaymen
who had ordered him to stand and
deliver. Instead of obeying orders, he
drew his revolver and commenced
firing, and he thought he had serious
ly wounded one of his assailants.
About half hour after Merchant
Stanford had made his report, a po-
liceman on duty on another beat some
distance from the Stanford store, heard
a number of pistol shots, and rushing
TO the place, found lying on the ground,
badly wounded in the body and bathed
in blood, young man who gave his
name as Fred J. Cunningham. Gun.
ningham claimed that he had just
been attacked by highwaymen and
that he had been shot by them in the
fight that followed. A bullet has
passed entirely through his body, but
the wound was not especially dan
gerous.
During the course of an investiga'
ton instituted the next day, the police
found near the store of Merchant
Stanford hat, inside of which were
the initials "F. J. c." At once the
officers began to suspect that the hat
belonged to Cunningham, and that,
perhaps, the young man, instead OF
having been shot by highwaymen, was
a highwayman himself, and as such
had been shot by Merchant Stanford.
In pursuance of this suspicion, Cum
ningham was looked up.
Cunningham is well-known in At
lanta, and is connected with number
of prominent families. He stoutly
holds out that he was really attacked
by highwaymen as he originally claim,
ed, and says that at the proper time
he will satisfactorily account for the
finding of his hat near the store OF
Merchant Stanford.
