THE county board Of commission
ers holds it's regular monthly meeting

cluded in the usual routine.

goods men were all busy.
Mr.. L. M. Hull writes from Lam
caster that he will be through tomor-

Friday night was frustrated by passers-
Bly, A Negro man who happened to be
in the vicinity noticed the striking OF
matches in the vicinity and he went
to the house of white citizen near by
to give the alarm. Before the two
could reach the depot again, the burg
lar had taken alarm and run away.
The Negro who discovered the attempt
said that the man in the office was
Negro. Investigation showed that the
man had gotten into the office through

THERE is a fight on between the New
York and New Orleans Cotton Ex-
changes for supremacy. During sew
eral months past New Orleans has been
making q determined effort to displace
New York in the control Of the con-
tract market. A number Of times late
ly the New Orleans market has been
many points higher than that OF New
York. New York has recognized the
seriousness of the situation and has
been trying in a quiet way to discredlt
New Orleans. Last week the New
York people gave the New Orleans
people to understand that unless they
did away with the bucket shop feat
ures Of their market, New York quo
tations would be withheld. Recognize
ing that New York is just as culpable
in this market as is New Orleans, New
Orleans paid no attention to the de-
mand. 1t was understood last week
that New York quotations had been
withdrawn from New Orleans: but the
figures were announced as usual, and
although Secretary Hester would not
explain the matter on the floor Of the
exchange he insisted that his New
York quotations had been gotten In a
perfectly legitimate manner. The
fight between the two exchanges for
supremacy promises interesting devel-
opments.

ES'S MARRIAGES.

The Charlotte Chronicle has the fol-
lowing about Squire Bales, the mar
riage artist, against whom a petition
for removal as notary public was filed
with Governor Hayward recently:
1T may surprise some people who
have been married by Squire Bales
the celebrated marriage artist living
just across the South Carolina line, to
learn that that gentleman has no more
authority to perform marriage cere-
mony than any other private cltlzen
According to the opinion Of a well,
known attorney who has recently nao
occasion to investigate the matter, tnls
is the status Of Squire Bales:
The South Carolina marriage law
recognizes no ceremony or official, ano
thus it Is that Squire Bailes's commits
sion as a notary public confers no au-
thority whatever to perform q cere-
mony According to the attorney
above referred to-, q marriage would pe
Just as binding were the contracting
parties to stop in the road just across
the South Carolina line and call up the
nearest farm laborer to witness their
common law marriage compact, aIlo
the certificate of the farm laborel
would be just as legal and binding as
the ceTtllCdte squire DoiiSS
give.
The public has generally understood
that Squire Bales had legal authority
to perform the marriage ceremony, ano
it was probably with this understand
ing that movement was recently In.
augurated to have the governor Oh
South Carolina revoke his commits
sion as a notary public. If the posi-
ton Of the attorney Is correct, and the
lawyer evidently knows what he Is
talking about, there Is no occasion to
have the marriage artist divested of his
office of notary public, for he could
continue to act as witness to common
law marriages. That Is the only ca
pacity in which he can now act-a wit
ness to common law marriages under
the statute of South Carolina govern
ing matrimOny.
It Is considered strange that the law
governing marriage in South Carolina
should be so lax when there Is abso-
lutely no provision for divorces in that
state.
Common law marriages are recog-
niZed in many states, among them be-
ing New York, California and Ar
kansas.

and costs. Say for instance taxes,
penalties and costs amount to $50 and
the land Is bid off for $500. The would
be purchaser has to deposit the amount
of his bid with the sheriff, and the ORR
ginal owner has the right to redeem
within six months. If the original
owner comes forward with $50 within
the time indicated, he gets his property
back. Otherwise. at the end Of six
months. the sheriff makes title to the
purchaser, and gives the original own
er the amount Of the purchase money,
less the $40 referred to.
Captain J. w. Ardrey Of Fort Mill
may get into trouble as the result OF
the road convention last Wednesday
Quite a number Of people were i'm
pressed with the idea that the cap
tain is not only man who has an idea
as to what the county needs; but he
knows also how to say what he wants
to say in the right way and at the
right time. Heretofore more than one
man has suggested that he ought to &c
to the general assembly. OF course, II
is generally understood that the cap
tain does not want to go to the general
assembly, or into politics at all; but the
voters do not always defer to the pre-
ferences of the individual citizens.

Love, and James Mason with Bishop
Shipp were following close behind.
When the pistol cracked the Crosby
woman gave q scream and fell to the
ground in a heap.
Mason claimed that he did not go to
do it; that he was just joking and did
insisted upon the story when the case
came up before Magistrate Johnson on
Monday; but fuller investigation Of the
matter did not seem to fully corro-
borate his claims.
From other witnesses, it was gath
cred that the pistol belonged to Bishop
Shipp and that Mason insisted on play
ing with it. He had only one car
fridge and a little while before had
dropped that cartridge in the sand and
had found 1t again after a search. He
had remarked that the Crosby woman
should not walk with John Love, and
he had snapped the pistol time or
two at Love; but when Love objected

Drs. Pressly and Campbell, who were
called shortly after the shooting found
that the bullet had entered the small
Of the back and lodged under the skin
over the abdomen in front; but they
were unable to say at the time wheth-
er the missile had passed through or
around. If it passed through, the
wound is necessarily a dangerous one;
but IL it only went around, there may
be no serious harm. The truth will be
known within day or two If 1t has
not already developed.
Magistrate Johnson committed Bish-
op Shipp for having an unlawful pistol
in his possession, and James Mason
was committed for assault and battery
with intent to kill.
