Squire Bales SkipS Out.

Rock Hill, July 18.- The notorious
marrying squire Willard o. Bales
of Fort Mill Township, has skipped
the country, heading for Oklahoma.
1t will be remembered that he at
tanned his reputation as Gretna
Green artist some years ago while
holding a commission as notary pub
lie. He advertised for business, get
ting out business card with his pic
ture on one side and his price list on
the other. In this list were set forth
the many different styles and ways
that he employed from a plain every
day knot to the most elaborate affair
with trimmings at prices to suit the
interested party or parties and his or
their pocketbook. Many were the
couples that Bales united in matri-
mony.
However expert he was knot
tyer, Bales got into trouble le-domes-
tic trouble-and things went on un-
til he became an attraction to the
grand jury. When the sheriff went
with a warrant for his arrest Bales
had skipped.

are inadequate to express the pleas
ure of visiting these country homes
every inmate of the home meeting
you with a spirit of welcome, no one
would spurn you or turn their face
to keep from greeting you. They
were taught politeness and good
manners from the cradle. which are
two of the cheapest commodities ev-
er enjoyed by people. All good,
honest people were at par and on the
same footing; little or no money
made no difference in the standing

Suffice it to say that they needed
no homestead or lien law to protect
their interests, but preferring hon

Gave Her Another Umbrella.

Rock Hill, July 1S.-Dr. S. H.
Ezell, of Van Wyck, was in the city
yesterday upon rather unusual busi-
ness. He came in behalf of citizens
of Van Wyck and brought with him
a beautiful and costly umbrella which
he presented to Mrs. L. E. Cauthen,
of this city, as gift from these citi-
zens in token of their appreciation
of her pluck. 1t will be remembered
that a few weeks ago Mrs. Cauthen
called upon a prominent lawyer Of
Lancaster and broke her umbrella
upon his person in resentment Of
treatment at his hands while she was
under cross-examination as a witness
in case then on trial. These citi-
zens of Van Wyck sympathized with
Mrs. Cauthen and her cause and apr
preciated her spirit. For that reason
they replaced her broken umbrella
with handsome new one.

Sheds His Skin.

Trenton, N. J., July 30.-For the
twenty-eighth time in fifty-three
years William U. Cake, a lineolum
printer,is shedding his skin like a
snake does, only instead of period
ically casting aside the cuticle, Cake
is likely to shed his skin any time.
First he is taken with chill, then
the skin dries up and cracks off en-
tirely within two weeks. During
this period he suffers agony. AS
soon as the skin has been shed Cake
is all right again. He has several
children, but none Of them are aflict-
ed with any symptoms of skin shedd-
ing. Specialists have seen the man,
but none Of them have ever done
him any go Il.

Serious ARRAYS in Anderson.

Anderson, July Henderson
county had two fighting scrapes yes
terday afternoon which will probably
result in the loss of two lives. Two
white men, Baz Williams, aged FL,
and D. C. French, aged "a, are in
the county Jail awaiting announce
ments of the deaths of each Of their
victims.
Williams and his father-in-law,
Henry Martin, both of whom live
near Denver, were in Anderson yes
terday. They drank nearly two
quarts of whiskey, according to Will
liams's admission. When they ar
rived at Martins home near sun
down Williams and his wife, who was
Miss Margie Martin, began scuft11ng
in the yard at the side of the house.
Martin evidently thought that Will
liams was fighting her, and he ad-
vanced on Williams with an iron rod.
Williams says that Martin hit him
across the head with the rod, when
he (Williams) commenced running
to get out of the way. Martin fol-
lowed him, says Williams, and while
running Williams picked up shovel
and hit Martin across the head, crush
ing the skull. Williams then got his
wife, Martins daughter, and walked
to his home, one mile. distant. He
was surprised while In bed by officers
this morning. He did not resist ar
rest. The attending physician says
that Martin is in a dying condition
and he expects death at any minute.
French shot a negro, Will Super,
three times with .32 Smith & Wes-
son pistol. French runs livery sta
BILE in Williamson and Super had
been doing some work for him. Su-
per came to the stables yesterday
afternoon in drunken condition and
became incensed at some Of French S
words. French admits he had been
drinking. Super advanced on French,
so the latter says, with an opened
knife. French received several gashes
in his clothes and hat and one wound
in his arm. He had .22 pistol IN
his pocket and drew it as Super was
making other advances. He shot
three times, each bullet taking ef-
feet in Super's stomach. French
came to the city last night with his
uncle, w. "A. Cooley, and surrender
ed to Sheriff Green. The negro is in
dying condition and his death is
expected before tomorrow morning.
