held court on last Saturday evening.
Mr.. Pat O'Donnell, one of the work,
men at the Loray mill, had had some
trouble with Negro by the name OF
Ed Williams. Saturday he decided to
dismiss him and went to the Office and
said he intended to turn him off. He
told Williams to leave, but Williams
would not 20. So Mr.. Dent, who was
with Mr.. O'Donnell, pulled out his pis-
tol and fired in the air to frighten him.
This did not accomplish the intended
result, so Mr.. O'Donnell took it and
fred in the air. Williams then ran

warrant. The testimony of the wit
nesses brought out the fact that Will
liams carried pistol and had made
some threats against Mr.. O'Donnell.

many eggs are sold here in one day, we
have tried to find out how many were
sold last Saturday. 1t is hardly fair
test to take Saturday, for great many
of the merchants could not get eggs
until late in the evening, and then they
sold out in a little while. But there
were something over 95S dozen eggs
sold. Some of the stores we could not
get to, and some did not remember ex-
actly. No doubt it will reach 1000.
Think of it; 10, ,496 eggs almost every
day. Several men told me they could
have sold twice or three times the
amount they did if they only had
them. Why don't some man 90 into
the business and supply the home mar
ket. Those eggs were whrlesaled, it
is supposed, at about 10 cents. That
would make $95S0, and he could have
disposed of more than that. This is
equal to about three bales of cotton at
7 cents, it takes you year to raise.
