\ Cutting serape.


 The story of q cutting scrape in Wilcox County yesterday. but which will not prove fatal. was learned here today. The difficulty took place or the public road of Wilcox County be. tween Snow TIlli and Furman end was between white man and white boy about Is years of age The man got the worst of the encounter and if the reach of the boy had been the fraction of an inch longer, the man. no doubt would be dead now.
 The difficulty was between John Thoney. planter of that neighborhaod and Jack Street, who drives a wagon hauling material with which the road is being repaired. Thorney is road overseer and the boy worked under his supervision. The man met the boy on the road. Some words ensued between them. The man slapped the boy. The boy pulled a knife and made slash at the man which cut him across the right side just above the waist.
 The gash inflicted, while 1t will cause Thorney some inconvenience for a few \days will not prove serious.

HhPGCOD NOT GUILTY
Editor of Golfers Weekly Acquitted
Of Criminal Libel.

New York, Jan. 27.-An unusually
sensational trial came to an end when
a jury in the criminal branch of the
supreme court reported that Norman
HangCod editor Of Golfers Weekly,
was not guilty Of criminal libel. The
verdict was rendered 10 minutes after
the case had been given to the jury.
The charge against Mr.. Hapgood was
brought at the instiGation Of Justice
Joseph NJ Deuel.. OF the court OF spe-
cial sessions. and was based upon
an editorial in which the editor criti-
cised Justice Deuel. for his connection
with Town Topics.
The real interest in the case was
due to the fact that the names OF
scores of persons of the highest So
cial and financial standing became in
volved through the efforts of the de-
fense to prove that the statements
contained in the alleged libel were
correct. and. therefore, justified. To
attain this end some of tie inner work
ings of Town Topics, a weekly publi-
cation, which circulatas extensively
in social circles, were laid bare. 1t
was in this connection, and also
through testimony concerning limit
ed edition book. which bore the title
Of Fads and Fancies that the names
OF prominent persons became involv-
cd. Fads and Fancies was sold to
subscribers at $500 or more per copy.
