ATTACKED ON THE HIGHWAY.

Mr.. james Lockhart, who lives on
Silver creek, six miles west of York
Vile, had Il desperate fight, last Friday
morning, with two Negroes, who at
tackled him on the road.
II was near the residence of Mr..
w. ]. Stephenson. Mr.. Lockhart was
returning home from Yorkville, in a
buggy. The Negroes accosted him
with query as to where he was 60
ing, and when he told them that il
was none of their business, they said
they would make it their business.
One of the Negroes advanced, and
Mr.. Lockhart knocked him down.
Then he knocked the other down also.
The first came forward with knife,
and made lunge at Mr.. Lockharl $
throat, cutting his coat badly. Mr..
Lockhart knocked him down again
and the Negroes gave up the attempt.
Mr.. Lockhart made no effort 10
give the alarm until after he got home !;
but during the afternoon q crowd of
some twenty-five men collected TO
hunt down the Negroes, and kept up
the search until after night without
result.

COLONEL CAD JONES.

Colonel Cadwalader Jones, formerly
of Rock Hill but for sometime fesid,
ing with his daughter in Columbia,
died last Friday morning, after short
illness, at the ripe old age of Sc. The
funeral took place from the Trinity
church last Saturday afternoon at $50.
The following interesting sketch OF
this distinguished gentleman is from a
recent issue of The Confederate Veter-
an, published at Nashville Tennessee :
Colonel Cadwalader Jones was born
August II, 1918, at Mount Gallant,
the residence of his maternal grandfa-
ther, General Allen Jones, in North.
ampton county, N. c. His father was
the son of Colonel Cadwalader Jones,
of Orange county, n. c., an officer in
the navy during the war Of 1872; and
his grandfather, Major Cadwalader
Jones, was aide. camp 10 General
Lafayette in the Revolution of 1776.
The same sword that was presented TO
his grandfather by General Lafayette,
and that was drawn in defense of lib
erly during the Revolution of 1776 and
in the war of 1912, was worn by him
during the war between the states and
now hangs by his bedside.
Colonel Jones graduated from Chap
el Hill, N. c., at the aye of 10, and
married Annie Isabella Iredell, Janua
ry 5, 1886. The same year he began
the practice of law. For more than Il
quarter of century he was connected
with the political history of his state
and with its public affairs. In 1857
Colonel Jones sought retirement from
the excitement of political life and
moved with his family to York county,
S. G., where he was prominent cot
ton planter and slave owner.
Two Of his sons enlisted early in the
great war, in which he not only en-
but joined them. He organ

- Mr.. Dudley Haselden shows up in a
bad light in the breast plate matter. He
was apparently preparing to slay his
neighbor without incurring risk of his
own person. 1t was cowardly act and
he should lose no time in resigning the
position he holds in the state govern
ment.-Lancaster Enterprise.
This is a fair sample Of the view
that many newspapers throughout the
state are taking of the Sellers riot.
They are able to see all the elements
of murder and some get pretty close
to assassination but the fact that the
majesty of the law has been insulted
does not seem to occur to them. Quite
a number have called upon Haselden to
resign, and some have even gone so
far as to suggest that he ought to be
removed. The idea of man who is
guilty of "cowardly" act voluntarily
resigning a position in which there is
money and "honor," will strike some
people as being exceedingly funny.

THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER says
"By the death of Vice President Hobart,
Secretary of State Hay is now vice presi'
dent" This is error. Mr.. Hay is still
secretary of state, and under the law is
next in succession to the presidency but
he is not vice president.-AugustaC Chron-
icle.
The Chronicle is correct; but the
error is purely technical and of no prac'
tical importance. Strictly speaking,
the vice president took his office to the
grave with him, leaving its active du'
ties to Senator Fry, and its contingent
responsibilities to Secretary Hay. But
to. all intents and purposes Secretary
Hay is now vice president.

THE DEED OF A MAN.

Mr.. Wade H. Hick lin, of Guthries'
vile, is confined pretty closely to home
with head and face in poultices and
his hands bandaged in liniments, as the
result of serious burns sustained last
Sunday morning while trying to res
cue Negro child from a burning
cabin.
1t was between 8 and 9 o'clock.
Mr.. Hicklin and family were enjoying
late breakfast, when they were sud-
denly alarmed by the frantic screams OF
the Negro cook, announcing that her
children were burning up. Mr.. Hick-
lin rushed out and found that the
house occupied by the cook was in
flames. She had brought one child
out, her baby but could not 60 back
after the other, aged about three
wears, because Of the ferceness of the
fire.
Without hesitating an unnecessary
instant, Mr.. Hicklin, who was hatless,
threw off his coat and dashed into the
cabin. AS he opened the door, which
had closed 10 after the exit of the
woman, he was met by fearful
draught. famed flame, which singed
his hair, eyebrows and beard but he
did not stop. He was unable to see,
and there was some delay in finding
the child, which lay screaming on the
floor but he remained until he found
it, and with its blazing clothes burn
ing the skin from his hands, brought it
out.
The child was still alive when res
cued; but its burns were of such a
nature as TO make recovery impossi
BILE. 1t died on Monday. The house
was entirely destroyed.
The facts, as stated, except as to
the death of the child, were gathered
from Sheriff Logan, who passed by
Mr.. Hicklin's on his way 10 church
Sunday morning, an hour or two after
the fire. The reporter called Mr..
Hicklin up by telephone Monday af
ternoon to make further inquiries.
Mr.. Hicklin confirmed the story, ex-
cept as it relates to the part played by
himself, the importance of which he
minimized. He claimed that he had
incurred no great risk that he was
not injured seriously, and virtually
prohibited publication of details.
According TO Sheriff Logan, MIR.
Hicklin has no eyebrows or lashes,
his hair and scalp are burned, his heavy
beard has been singed close TO his
chin, he is blistered about the face aud
the burns on his hands are exceeding
ly painful. 1t will probably be sew
eral weeks before he is entirely well J;
but fortunately he is not threatened

Joe WHEELER.

If the editorial observations and
headline comments of certain daily
newspapers were our only sources OF
information as to the sentiments and
motives Of General Joseph Wheeler,
our opinion Of that old soldier would
not be very kind one. We would
think he is only renegade Democrat
gone to the Republicans for prefer
ment, and willing to say and to do any
thing that President Mckinley might
indicate in order to secure his desired
reward. But there are other sources
of information, and in view of the
generals record and long service to
the country, we are unable to think so
lily of him.
When the Spanish American war
broke out, and General Wheeler vol
unteered, we remember that some
newspapers sought to make his action
appear as great joke. They held
out the idea that the general, what
ever he might have been in the past,
was too old for active service then,
and they seemed to think of his ap'
pointment to the office of major gener-
al as only sop to the south and trib-
ute to an old mans childish vanity.
Few people were disposed to consider
the circumstance seriously.
Shortly after the landing of the
American army at Siboney, we were
informed in the dispatches that Gener-
al Wheeler reconnoitered the enemy's
position from the top of tree which
he had climbed himself. We are also
told of fighting, as the result of which
the Spaniards were driven back snd
the Americans advanced. We are also
told that on the night of July 1st, the
Americans found themselves confront
ing the entrenched Spaniards in long,
thin, badly sheltered line. The troops
had neglected to bring sufficient
quantity of food, they had thrown
away most of their blankets, and they
were nearly out of ammunition. The
commanding officers were alarmed at
the situation, and they Joined in a
unanimous note to General Shatter to
order retreat. General Wheeler put
his judgment against all the balance of
the officers, and Notwithstanding the
fact that he could only get about on
litter, he wrote a dispatch to Cen
eral Shafter begging him not to listen
to the advice ihar had been rendered

- We have been so much amused at
the editorial of the Manning Times on
the controversy between THE ENoUI'
RER and the Columbia State, that we
are moved to reproduce it for the ben
eft of our readers also. We confess
that we were made to blush several
times; but in these days newspapers
have 10 accustom themselves to such
things. However, when "My Dear
Applet" gets off the "editorial giant"
gag, we will have to draw the line.
There has not been but one "giant"
engaged in this thing and he is down
in Columbia. We have only assumed
to play the role of "Little Jack"

contemplate business. 1t reminds us
of the conduct of the Russians on the
occasion of the famous charge of the
Light Brigade at Balaklava. While
the Light Brigade was desperately ell
gagged with Russian cavalry, the Rus
sian artillery fired volley after volley,
moving down friend and foe alike.
Then let these newspapers fight the
Republican policy and the Republican
administration as much as they will ;
but we beg them to be- careful to direct
their fire 80 as not to assassinate grand
old Joe Wheeler.

meagre outline of the South African
situation was published in the Associ-
ated Press dispatches yesterday. 1t is
now reported that General Methuen
was opposed at Modder river by II, 1000
Beers under General Cronje. The
fighting lasted all day. The Beers
were not put to rout; but retired from
the field at night in good order. Me-
thuen's forces were too much exhaust
ed to follow, and contented themselves
with crossing the river aud occupying
Cronje's position. 1t is reported that
Metbuen's van guard has entered Kim

to take place at Nryburg.

said that during the service in Cuba, up
TO the surrender OF Santiago, his com
mand had bacon and canned roast beef In
proportion Of about ten days OF the for
mer to fifteen days OF the latter. Until
ths surrender he received no complaints
against the canned roast beef, but after
the surrender his cOmmissary sergeant
reported something WAS making the men
very sick. After eliminating every other
factor. they concluded II must be the
canned roast beef. He ordered tha cooks
TO try fixing up the meat In stews with
hard tack and tomatoes, but II seemed to
make no difference. The men then dis.
continued its use.
