NO DUEL.
Might Have Been !, Fight, but Cooler
Heads interfcreu.

Prof. ]. C. Freeman, of the Massey
Business College, yesterday made an
emphatic denial Of the rumor that duel
had been fought with knives by two
students OF that college
In an interview with the two students,
Messrs o. 3. Jarman. of jacksonville, y.
c., and George E. HuShey, CT Statesville,
n c., who were reported as the par
Elephants in the duel, they both denied
the rumor in regard to fighting the duel.
Mr. Jarnan and a few school COM
panions went out to the monument in the
afternoon as they had agreed to. but
Professor Freeman prevailed on Mr..
Hughey not to so out, and told him If he1
went he would dispatch an officer to the
scene, and both of the boys would be
dishonorably expelled from the school
Mr.. Hughey took the professors adj
vice and staid away from the monument
grounds.
Both students appeared in school next
morning, and they were called to Profess
sor Freeman's office and the ma tier was
adjusted, ard they shook hands as II
nothing had occurred.
The students had become involved in a
quarrel, and had determined to have it
out in tisticuff.

The fact that the market was considera-

buyers from loading up extensively, and

THE SHOTGUN TOURNAMENT,

Gun Club, was Quite Success.

Tho first trap shooting tournament of
tho Walhalla Gun Club took place at
Crisp's Park OH the oath instant, and
was one of tho most intoresting-not to
say unique-cvents of it's kind over seen
in tho South Tho shooting was wit
messed by crowd variously estimated
at from 500 to 800, which was so delighted
with the exhibition that it moved up as
ono man close upon tho heels of the
shooters, cheering the contestants after
zach shot. 1t was good -naturcd crowd
and it was out for fun. The programme
said that tho object was amusement, not
money making, and 80 tho spectators
got up foot races, wrestling matches and
exhibitions of jumping, with and with.
out hop-skip attachments, ctc., for the
amusement Of tho shooters. This may
account for somo Of the low scores made
Tho shooting, however, was as hard as
tho management could make it under

targets thr"wn fully 80 yards at extreme
angles. The division of money was
by the Rose system at tho ratio of 1872

NO IRON BRIDGE FOR ANDERSON.
Old One will Have to be Repaired, But Blue
Ridge Road is Excused

The Blue Ridge Railroad will not haYo
of Anderson. Recently Il petition from
the Anderson city council and petition
from citiZens was filed with the Court
asking that tho receiver Of the road be
authorized and instructed to have a new
bridge erected. The matter was heard
before Judge Simonton, of the United
States Court, by whom the receiver had
been appointed, and tho decision of the
case was filed last Friday. The Court
holds that there is no need just at this
time to have a new bridge built, but has
instructed the receiver to make such
repairs and improvements rs may be
necessary. In concluding his opinion
Judge Simonton said:
ut is with great regret that the we'll
founded wish Of the city council and citi
zens cannot be gratiiied, but the Court
cannot in the discharge of it's duty in
duige it. But if the present structure
be maintained it is the duty of tho re-
ceivor to put it and maintain it i'm per-
feet condition. The bridge must be
made as strong as possible, all of tho
timbors and the wood used in its con
struction, must be, and must be kept
sound. The testimony, even that offered
by the receiver, shows that it is not now
in the condition desired. Mr.. Lee him
self has suggestions to oiicr looking to
this end, based upon the connection that
additions and improvements are ncceS-
sary. TO effect the end desired, and to
secure the city of Anderson in the
making and maintaining of sufficient
bridge, the petition will be retained,
with leave to the city council to obtain
the aid of tho Court whenever such aid
became necessary or desirable.
ct is, therefore ordered that the re-
ceiver, under the advice Of proper and
competent engineer, put the present
bridge in thorough and complete order,
removing all parts thereof which pre-
sent symptoms of decay and substitut-
ing in place thereof sound material of
proper strength, and that he, from time
to time, at all times, take all such steps
and make all such expenditures .as may
bc necessary to keep every part Of the
said bridge in sound and perfect condi-
| ton. That leave is hereby given to the
petitioners at any time to apply to this
Court for any orders which may be
| necessary to enforce the provisions of
| this order -
