Cutting to Kill.
There was lively row at White Hill
last Saturday night between William Mil
Ter and Frank Tate, both colored. AS to
how the row commenced the reporter has
no particulars; but Tate welded knife
in manner that was most vicious. He
severed the flesh and muscles Of Miller's
right thigh to the bone, cut two fingers
nearly off and drove the knife into the
mans left arm. DR.. Miles Walker was
called to see Miller and found him in d
dangerous condition. There have been
no arrests.
He's Married Man Now.
Mr.. s. l.. Milling of Rock Hill, was in
Yorkville on Monday, and paid THE

well pleased when he came in, and aftel
short conversation il developed that il
was because he is married man now,
He was married. on December %, to Miss
Fannie Bradford. The fact has been
published previously, but somehow il
escaped the attention Of our exchange
reader. But, all the same, even at this
late day, to Mr.. Milling and his wife
The ENQUIRER begs TO extend congrat-

law for the annual meeting of the county
pension board, at which time it was ex.

membered the day and presented him
