The Body of Young Dickson TAX :
en- to Illinois.
Rock Hill Herald.

hOck filll Herald.
Mr.. +. A Dickson, father of
the young man who was killed at
Sharon by falling tree last week,
came to Rock Hill Friday night
last and the next day conveyed the
embalmed body of his son to his
home in Illinois. He was accom-
panied by a nephew. The deceas
ed, &. 0. Dickson, who was
known at Sharon as "Teddy OF
tbs, seems to have left his Illl
nois home on account of the fact
that he had killed the assistant
pilot on an Ohio river boat on
which he was the clerk. This ae-
counts for his nom de plume. 1t
was stated by Mr.. Dickson's neph,
ew, however, that young Dickson
had returned to his home since the
killing and had notified the sheriff
OF his presence, but nothing was
ever done towards taking him un-
derarrest.

EDITOR LEDGER'-Yesterday
morning the Editor of the Wax
haw Enterprise came here, and
wendsd his "way' to the banks
of Twelve Mile Creek to spend
the day fishing. Later in tho
day, this correspondent arrived
on the scene, and found that the
Editor had had u hard fought bat,
tle with a large swapping turtle
which he had succeeded in landing.
There, in captivity, was the turtle
securely piniened to the earth
with stake driven through his
caudal appendage into the ground
and other stakes driven into the
ground around him, and the Ed
itor reclining in shady place on
the bank of the creek smoking
his favorite cigar, calmly waiting
for another bite. rho Editor
secured nice string of fish, but

that turtle, shows that he con-
sidsred it another one of those
"good thlngs' which some times

SPECIAL to Greenville News.
harleston, Sept. 12.-While
complete returns have not yet been
received from the congressional
race in the Seventh district,
enough is known to make it al
most absolutely certain that the
contest lies between Lever of Lex
ington and Brantley Of Orange
burg.
Howell of Walterboro is now
close 10 Brantlcy in the count,
but a number OF Orangeburg pre-
cincts remain to be heard from
and those will certainly give
Brantley majorities. Lever will
90 into the second race, leading
with about $500 votes to his
credit. Brantley will follow a
good second, his talley now mark
ing over two thousand.
With Lever and Brantley in the
second race it is generally con
ceded that the former stands more
than a good chance of election as
he would have the sympathy of
all the men who were dropped.

There is u defeudrnt missing at
the criminal COURT ~ Greeuville
this week. The celebrated Mat
tie Hughes case was to have come
up but the defendant is not there
and she is not nere. where her
home has been for more than
year past. She has heen running
restaurant and it is generally
conceded has made a great deal of
money and trouble.
Matte A Hughes left thi,
town last week in the attire of
man. She sold her restaurant
business aud for q day or so was
seen about town several times
with mans clothing on. 1t has
been hinted by some who pretend
to know that she has either gone
to Charleston or Charlotte. 1t is
not believed she is i'm this city.
This woman has been the cause
of 4 great deal of trouble Near
ly three years ago she killed her
husband, Geo. w. Hughes, at
Gresrs and three times she was
put on trial, but in each case
mistrial resulted. Judge Town
send heard the case first and it is
his time at Greenville again. A
few liquor cases are pending
against her there.
In Spartanburg her course did
not improve and complaint re>
suited from her establishment at
the depot. Fights became frequent
and the police were in demand A
case for keeping disorder house
was made by the grand jury. 1t
is understood she has threatened
the chief of police. Several cases
for liquor selling are pending
against her.
Ms. Hughes is undoubtedly
away. She dressed up in IA S15
suit, took $4,000, it is said, and
went out to see the world.
We were greatly surprised at
the tone of the editorial in The
State of last Saturday on the as
sassinatien of the president. 1t
was strange admixture of sym.
pathy and politics and was in
delicate and out of taste when it
was generally believed that the
president was almost in the throes
of dissolution. 1t WAS tims to
forget politics and send words of
sympathy to his bedside rather
stand there and recount to dv-
ing man all his political sins. We
are as much opposed to Mr.. Nc
