DIR. E. s. Joynes, who is to be in York
Vile next Friday, will be in Able
Vile on Monday. The Abbeville Medium
tells its readers about the doctor as fol-
lows: "The people of Abbeville have a
feast in store for them, for DR.. Joynes is
one of the most eminent scholars in the
| United States. He has made teaching his
llifework, and understands from expe-
rience exactly what will be suitable for
Monday night. DR.. Joynes ranks first
among the most distinguished educators
of this country. His address will not be
for teachers alone, for he has selected
subject to please general audience and
we trust everybody who possibly can will
be present. No one will ever regret hear
ing DIR. Joynes."
| Tillman at Tirzah.
Columbia Register: Senator Tillman is
to speak at Tirzah on August &. 1t is said
that the senator is to make "the speech
of his life," whatever that may mean. 1t
is stated that he will defend the dispense
ry, if there is any of it left to defend by
that time, and will answer many OF the
structures made on his political record
while in the senate, especially the position
he took on the tariff bill. Both of these
subjects will give him an opportunity to
say some breezy things and 'chunk more
rocks" at his opponents. The expecta-
ton is that there will be an immense
crowd of people at Tirzah on that day at
least. Several people from this city will
60 up, leaving here early in the morning
and rea ching Tirzah about 10 o'clock.
They can return to Rock Hill or 60 to
Yorkville in the evening. The senatorial
candidates have not been invited and will
not be present, as they have meeting OF
their own on the same day. Ex-Gover-
nor Evans was invited before he became
candidate for the senate but it is likely
that he will stay with the candidates.
The Sheriff Stopped the Row.
There was quite disturbance out at
Gains Spring last Saturday, and had ii
not been for the very positive action OF
Sheriff Logan, there may have been
bloodshed. AS the sheriff was getting
ready to leave with his family for home,
he was informed that two men were fight
ing at the spring. He was also told that
one of the men was armed with pistol,
| while the other had brass knucks. When
he reached the spot, he found that the
men had been parted; but were still
struggling in the hands Of parties who
were trying to keep the peace. The first
thing the sheriff did was to disarm the
man who had the pistol. Then he took
away from the other the brass knucks.
About this time the man who had the
pistol threw large rock at the other, and
the sheriff promptly placed him under
arrest. Then he also arrested the other.
Neither seemed to like this programme,
and both tried to offer some resistance /;
but, of course, without success. After
making the arrest, Sheriff Logan depu-
tized two men to take the prisoners to
Jail. One of the prisoners, however, got
loose shortly afterward and ran away,
whereupon the sheriff instructed the other
to be released also. Before leaving, he
informed the committee that as he had
nothing to do with the matter further
than to try to keep the peace, it must, if
it desired any further proceedings, swear
out warrants. 1t is not likely that any
further steps will be taken. In the mean
time, Sheriff Logan retains possession of
the weapons he took away from the
