Rock HILL, June ia bunch Of
gamblers fell out over game of cards
In the Major White woods In the east
ern part OF the city. Saturday afternoon
and q number OF shots were sexchang-,
ed. A witness, who watched the battle
at q safe distance, reports that there
was quite a number in the bunch, but
there were only two using their guns
and they were directing their shots at
each other at very close range. It n
presumed, however. that no one was
the scene of the disturbance and they
found that all had fcwn when they ar
rived.
Monday morning II was reported
that G. w. Jordan, a former citizen.
had figured in a serious shooting ARRAY
in Kershaw Sunday night and a re-
ward OF $3.50 was offered for his arrest
and that the officers here had been
notified to be on the look out for him
This proved to be false report and
probably grew out Df the fact that a
hension Of some unknown parties who
fired upon Mr.. Jordan one night last
week as he lay asleep upon his bed
In his home in Kershaw. 48 tH
The manufacture Of suspenders In
Rock Hill has already begun on smail
scale. Messrs. c. w. Frew and Lee
Diehl who have been busy the past
month installing machinery and getting
7verything ready-to begin the manufac-
ture Of suspenders, have already made
up a small lot OF cheap goods and will
ton. The plant which will be known
as the Acme Manufacturing Co., is
located In the, rear Of the building on
Main street formerly occupied by 8.
r. Frew, undertaken, and president OF
the Rock Hill Water, Light and Pow
| er company. A one horse power mo-
ter has been installed to furnish power
to run the machinery. Seven machines
% be used In binding and doing other
sewing have been put In, also a machine
for working buttonaoles. Other ma
chimes will be added later on. Mr.. Frew
estimates that he can manufacture two
hundred dozen pairs of suspenders per
day with eight ma,hines that have
been installed already. II the venture
proves successful, shirts and overalls
may also be manufactured q little ia-
.er on. This can be done with tie
machines that are now In use and viii
require but very little IL any, ad-
ditional machinery. A good stock Of
supplies have been laid In and so soon
as the operators all become familiar
with their machines and the arrange
lments are all completed the factory
will begin to run on full time.

The condition Of Mayor j. J.. Hull

week
Speaking of voting out the YorxyilIe
ldispensary. State Constable ]. n. Is.
Jenkins said to your correspondent the
other day that II the people of the
county would remove the dispensary
ard request Gov. Hayward to maintain
him (Jenkins) on the constabulary
force and would assist him In the en-
forcement of the law. he would guar
antee more than double his salary IN
fines and to enforce the prohibition law
better than the dispensary law Is be-
ing enforced There Is no doubt OF the
fact that the constables could accom-
plish much more than they do II they
only had the support and sympathy OF
the masses Of the people, which they
do not get as a rule. M
