revolver and Parker used a knife.
Parker got in some work with an ugly
slash across Norman's back, and Nor
man fired several shots, one of which
grazed Parker's leg. Then the original
weapons were abandoned and both
co,nbatan,s resorted to stones, making
them fly at each other like the missels
from the rapid fire guns at Santiago.
According to the first reports which
come into town, Parker had been
killed. and the officers who went TO
the scene of the conflict made it their
business to secure the immediate arrest
of Norman. But after the smoke OF
hattie had cleared away somewhat, 1t
developed that although both men
showed bloody marks of the conhict'
the damage was not nearly so serious
as was reported.
Which was the real aggressor is not
known. 1t is the custom under such
circumstances for each to lay Ii on the
other. But in this case, after the mad
bepan 10 wear off, each was made to
realize that the other could get up just
rs good grounds for prosecution as he.
There was plenty of evidence at hand
which, if pushed, would likely result
IN fines that would consume the earn

distinctions are so fine as not to amount
to a great deal. However, there is nc
question of it, the sack under consid'
Grafton shows up well in comparison
with the best that is to be had any
where from anywhere. 1t is the pro-
duct of the new gyrator system that
was recently placed in the Champion
mills, and although the -four made at
this mill has been Of unusually fine
quality all along, it is the common
verdict that since the late addition of
new machinery, there is noticeable
improvement. But even if the flour

Work BAPTIST ASSOCIATION.

This co.operative body Of the Bap-
list churches of York county, met III
its Thirteenth annual session with the
church at Glover on last Thursday at
II o'clock a. m, and continued in daily
session until Sunday. The Association
reorganized by re electing Mr.. h. f.
Johnson moderator, and by elccling
Mr.. w. J. Waters clerk.
According to previous appointment,
the annual Introductory sermon was
preached on Thursday afternoon by
Rev. John D. Robertson, of Rock Hill
The sessions of the first day were
taken up mainly by the reorganization,
reading letters and reports from the
various churches and appointing the
necessary committees.
On Thursday evening the regular
session of the Association gave way
for the dedicatory services of the house
of worship of the Glover church.
Rev. V. l. Masters, now representing
The Baptist Courier, who was one of
the pioneers in the work at Clover,
was present and preached the sermon.
Appropriate remarks concerning the
history and present condition of the
church were made by Rev. B. j. Wood
ward, the deservedly popular pastor.
Mr. w. II. Moore, in behalf of the
building committee, formally presented
the property, complete and free OF
debt, to the congregation. The dedi
carory prayer, formally and solemnly
setting apart the building as place
for divine worship, was then offered
bv Rev. D. w. Thomasson, of Gaffney
who was visiting the Association IN
the interest of The South Carolina
Raptist. This church was organized
only a few years ago under the auspi
ces of the State Board, with Il very
few members. They now have gooo
bouse of worship and the church l.
not only self sustaining, but a lihrra
contributor to all benevolent objects.
The morning and afternoon session;
were taken up with the routine work
of the body, and the evening sessions
with preaching services. The L

churches composing the body were al
represented by delegates or letter, ex'
cept one. In these 13 churches there
is an aggregate membership of about
1,4OO. The reports sent up from the
churches showed a considerable gain
in membership during the year, also a
marked improvement in contributions
to the various benevolent objects,
which are fostered by the denomina-
ton.
Reports were made on the different
nhases of denominational work, inclu-
ding foreign, home and state missions,
orphanage, etc., which were fully and
freely discussed by the body. Several
collections were taken for the various
objects.
Owing to the meeting of three other
Associations at the same time, several
of the agents representing the denom-
national work in the state could not
be present. However, the meetings
were all interesting and we'll attended.
The prevailing opinion of those pres
ept seemed to be that the meeting was
one of the best ever held during the
history of the Association.
After the preaching of the annual
missionary sermon on Sunday morning
by Rev. Edward S. Reaves, the Asso-
citation adjourned to meet with the
Catawba church in its next annual
session.
The delegates, as they returned to
their homes, were lavish in the praises
of the Glover people for the royal man
ner in which they were entertained.
People of all denominations We'd with
each other in extending courtesies and
showing kindnesses to those who had
come among them as their guests.

Greenville News: T. N. Garrett
reports the measurement Of the boss
of all the pumpkins vines. 1t was
grown on the place of his uncle, Johr
G. Garrett, in the Cripple Creek sec
ton of Fairview township. The vine
was rs feet long and bore over 4(
pumpkins, aggregating in weight about
200 pounds. Fourteen of the largest
averaged As pounds each, the smallest
of them weighing 80 pounds, and the
largest, which took the blue ribbon at
the Fairview stock show, sc pounds
The others averaged about 20 pounds
each. The vine grew from common
seed, planted last May by Mrs. Garretl
on clay upland, comparatively new
ground.
He Pawned the Guns.
Colonel VIM. H. Robertson, colored
commander of the National Guard, oi
South Carolina, has been suspended
from the military service of the state
One day last week, Adjutant and In
spector Watts was advised that Rob
ertson had pawned seven Springfield
rifles, belonging to the government, TO
Il Charleston pawnbroker. Genera
Watts investigated the matter, found
the rifles in the pawnshop and satisfied
himself that Robertson had gotten
money on them. General Watts re-
covered the rifles and suspended
Robertson from the service of the
state. The Negro declares that it was
all put up job; but the evidence Is
against him.
Tiliman Released.
Lieutenant. Colonel james II. Till
man has been released from arrest
pending an investigation of his case by
Captain Ezra B. Fuller, chief muster
ing officer of this state. The Colum'
bia correspondent of The News and

short time have a mass of testimony
which he will forward to Washington,
Whether the testimony will ever be
read in Washington, or it is Intended
it should ever he opened after it gets
there, is not known at this end of the
line. 1t is not likely that anyone vii

the case and it can slumber, unless
Lieutenant Colonel Tillman wishes tt
