Tried For the Drowning Of
j. II. Norman.

Contrary to the belief of many
that the drowning of j. II. Nor.
man would not become a matter
for investigation by the courts,
it now looks as if the case Will be
much IN evidence when the court
convenes again. This conclusion
is based upon some very import
ant and unexpected developments
during the past few days.
There was considerable excite
ment on the streets Friday morns
ing when it became known that
Sheriff John II. Logan had arriv-
ed from Iorkville mt an early
hour and had placed under arrest
Chief of Police r. G. Johnston.
The arrest was made under Il
warrant SWORD out by Coroner
Louthian at Yorkville. The Times
reporter did not see the warrant
but is informed that the charge
was to the effect that Johnston
was responsible for Norman's
death, in that Norman had gone
into the water through fear of be-
ing injured by 10 hnston's blood
hound.
Upon being arrested, Mr..
Johnston resigned as town marsh
al and accompanied the sheriff to
Yorkville, where he was com
mitted to jail. 1t is understood
that Johnston will apply for .bail,
but as this will have to be made
before a Judge, it is not known
when this action will be taken.
Further than this there is little
to say, except that the members
OF Norman's family have en-
ployed Attorney w. B. Wilson,
Sr., of Rock Hill, to prosecute
the case. Fort Mill Times.

I[crshayv's Big Good Roads Con-
VcntIon,
The good roads convention at
Kershnw Thursday was big sue
cess in every way. 1t seemed
that every man, woman and child
within fifteen miles of that place
must have been there and there
were hundreds from even great
er distance. Ne saw pc oplc there
from every section of this county
Chesterfield and Kershaw, and
the town of Lancaster was repres-
ented by about 200. The crowd
numbered not less than 5000.
A splendid band of music from
Columbia was on hand..and Ker-
shaw spread itself in the way of
big barbecue. 5000 pounds of
meats had been excellently bar
becued, Mr.. Dent, of Columbia,
having been engaged to do it, and
1000 loaves of bread and several
thousand biscuits had been pro
vided. The four large beeves,
10 sheep, 6 2O0-pound shoats
and several hundred chichons with
the quantity of breadstuffs looked
like sufficiency for twice the
number of people present. Ker-
shaw certainly did herself grand
and the $500. or more contribut-
ed by her enterprising citizens for
entertainment on this occasl on
will doubtless rebound many fold
for the benefit of the roads in
Lancaster, Kershaw and Chester
field counties. The speeches of
Senator Latimer and Mr.. +. II.
Hyatt ON good roads and how to
get them were listened to with the
utmost attention and the sound,
practica! suggestions made by
them found lodgment in many
minds. The era of good roads
has downed in this State and such
meetings us the one at Kershaw
last Thursday will do much to
sgeed it on.

dent last Friday. Mr. Drew, together

several trees into another tree and
while they were chopping down this
tree the Others came down without
any warming, knocking both men
down. Drew was hit on the head and
rendered unconscious. Hisscalp was
badly cut and it was first thought his
skull was fractured. Dunton was not
injured and Immediately went for
help and Drew was taken to the house
where Dr. Rublee was summoned DR..
Morgan of Stowe fortunately was in
the vicinity and his wounds were
given attention but he did not regain
consciousness until early Saturday
morning. At the present writing it
is thought the skull is not injured
and he will recover. His father,
mother, and brother were notified
and arrived here early Sunday morn
ing from Glover.
