HUGHES
in HARD FIGHT.
Bloody Struggle with a
Negro Man.
ARREST EFFECTED.
Scrambling Over Hot Flat
Iron.
Oficer Probably Had Narrow Escape
with Life-Case to go to Scs.
si0ns Court.

Last Wednesday night, Chief Albert
Hughes in arresting John Workman, a
negro, had such a fight as is rarely
heard of in these parts.
John had cut another negro slightly
and Chief Hughes went to the cabin
south Of Main street where John was to
take him in charge. John vas sitting
In the cabin. Get up now and come
along with me, I have come for you
John" said the Chief.
Johns response was to seize n flat
iron and strike at the Chiefs head.
The blow was warded off In part but 1t
landed, cutting a severe cash and sew
ering a little artery over the Chiefs
ear.
The Chief closed with the ruffian and
threw him. The negro chung to the
iron and tho Chief held him against
the floor, his hand clutching the hot
iron as we'll. Then the negro worked
his hand into the Chief's hip pocket
and he was about to get the Chiefs pis.
toll. The Chief grabbed the pistol too
ana DOtn men rose.
Again the Chief flung his man but
the latter held the pistol. They strug-
gled through the door, and into the
yard, both clinging to the pistol
Meanwhile the Chief had gotten the
negroes under lip between his teeth
and bit it through and through. Fin
ally he loosened this and again flung
the negro to the ground. The struggle
for the pistol continued. Press Watts,
a negro, came up and the Chief called
on him for assistance. Press was about
to render 1T when Boyce Nelson, a
young white man, came and thinking
that Press was attacking Hughes,
struck him. The Chief told Nelson that
he was after the wrong party but mean
while Press had fled. Then Nelson
twined his fingers around Workman's
throat and choked him into surrender.
Workman was brought t jail. Thurs
day morning he was sentenced to $50
or go days in police court and his case
will be carried to the court of sessions
as well.
No man ever had a tougher customer
to deal with and no man ever had to
put up a sitter fight for his life than
Chief Hughes last Wednesday mig hit
Workman was carried to the county
chaingang, which is working on the
new road now being cut from Capers
Hellams' to the site Of the new cotton
mill. During the day he made an at
tack on Guard Culbertson. Mr.. Gull
b~ertson, however, was too quick for
him, aud Workman had to look down
the barrel OF a pistol. The sight stopped
him. There was fortunately no shoot
ing, Mr.. Culbertson having been cool
and quick. Treatment was admins
tered to Workman Thursday night
which it is hoped will calm him for
awhile a. least.

Kyle Hay Press

fills a long felt want with farmers. 1t
is the best yet made. The opinion
seems to be unanimous tn at the KYLE
HAY PRESS Is u~nexcelled by any
press on the market. 1t is going to
the front, already q great number of
them have been sold, you only need to
try 1t to be pleased. 1t is easy oper-
ated by 2 men and l horse. 1t is cheap,
durable, simple in construction and
easily mounted. 1t is the only press
that can be made or repaired on the
farm, it has no casting to break and
cause long delay. No other press has
this advantage. 1t is the only press
that the farmer can afford to buy, it
pays for Itself out of the first crop.
Every farmer can own his own press,
and bale his hay at the proper time.

LAURENS FARMERS
TAKE WARNING!
Hog Cholera In GreomyiIEe
County.
DANGER OF e
1t Might Cause a Heavy
Loss.
Joel Ellison OF Bessie Has Had on Ills
Place what he Thought a
Case.

The G~reenyille News of last Thurs
day says:
cit is reported that hog cholera has
been found prevalent in certain s~ections
of Greenville county, and the fear is
expressed by many people that it will
become general.
sit will be remembered that The
News published several days ago a
statement from DIR. Neson, OF Clemson
College, state veterinarian, about the
disease, existing among some hogs pur.
chased at Greers which came origi-
nally from Tennessee.
"It is reported, and reliably so, that
the disease is nearer home, and that a
number Of hogs purchased from Ten.
nessee droves have died recently from
what is generally supposed to be hog
cholera.
"Joel Ellison, wi lives at Bessie,
only a few miles from Greenville, was
in the city Monday, and reported that
he had purchased a hos here and eight
days after taking it home the animal
died. Judging from the animals
symptoms said Mr.. Ellison lit died from
hog cholera. Since the first hog died l
have lost two others whose symptoms
were the came as the first, and I can.
not but believe that cholera killed all
of them. l have several others, but
the indications are hat | will lose them
in a short time as they have been in
the same pasture with those hat have
recently died.
"Should this disease spread through
out the county it would play havoc
with the hogs, which would mater
tally affect the farmers as many OF
them depend to a great extent upon
hog meat as one of their principal pro-
visions.
1.-The matter is expected to be re-
ported to DR.. Nesom at Clemson Col
lege, who will probably make an in
vestigation in this section"

Lard Expensive and Injurious.

Lard is not only expensive but injur-
ious to the health when used in liberal
quantities. To make the so.called
cheap patent fiours white enough, the
life is all ground out of the flour; then
it is necessary to load it up with lard to
make it work. This accounts largely
for your heavy biscuits and rolls and
digestion. 1t takes less than one-half
the lard to work ''Clifton" that it does

more than the difference, but get a
more healthful and nutritious food
product. Health and economy dictate
the use of edition." Sold by NJ. III.
