A. Seen In Spnrtanburg.
Spartanburg Journal: The football
team Of the Kings Mountain Military
Academy, Yorkville, came over yester-
day and went back home today. While
they were here they went out in the
field and let the Wofford college foot
ball team play with them. Wofforl
made so, Kings Mountain nothing.
The military boys were not trained, but
they have a good lot Of men. They
could not successfully go against Wof-
ford's closely selected and well-drilled
team.

vile, made good his escape Saturday
morning. Mcknight was wanted in
Yorkville for breaking labor contract.
At the time Of his escape he was out
on the road in a squad Of convicts who
were under the charge Of Guard Robin
son. Mcknight was seated near where
the convicts were at work. and watch
ing his chances he made for the BUSH
es. Mr.. Robinson fired on the Negro;
but without effect, as he kept going
and has not yet been captured.
VIII Challenge the Juries.
1t is not likely that either the court
of general sessions or common pleas
will get in a full weeks work at the ap-
preaching term. The juries will be
challenged, without doubt That is the
opinion of members Of the bar. There
are some murder cases for the first
week and the probability is that an at
tack will be made on the jury in the
first case that comes up. Just how 1t

they want tried and others tnat they
prefer to postpone. If they can get rid
of the cases they desire to try first, 1t
is certain they will attack the juries
before going into the other cases. This
is, of course, provided no compromise
Is reached beforehand.
The X. NJ. NJ. A. and Wonord.
Although defeated by a score Of So
to 0, the K. M. M. A. team made very
good showing in the football game
