Shot Whole Family.
A negro named Ed Oates was turn
ed over to Sheriff Brown this morn
ing by Constable Robert Adams, on a
commitment from Magistrate r. L. A.
Smith Of Broad River township,
charging him with a wholesale shoot
ing as the result Of a family row on
the M. R Smith plantation, about six
miles east Of Hickory Grove, last We'd
nesday. Oates used a shot gun and
fired two shots, peppering Bill Allison,
his father-in-law in the leg and also
wounding his wife and 6-year-old
child. His wife and Bill Allison are
not thought to be seriously hurt; but
the child will probably die. Oates
claims that he did not intend to hurt
the child, Sheriff Brown sent Oates
to the Chester jail for safe keeping.
Transportation to tho battle-ground.
Considerable rivalry Is developing
between the people Of Kings Mountain
and the people Of Grover, with refer
ence to the transportation Of visitors
to and from the battle-ground on Oc-
tober Z. The transportation commit
tee of the Monument association, as
preliminary move, fixed a round trip
rate Of $500 in surrey5 and $1.00 in
wagons to and from Kings Mountain,
Grover Yorkville and Glover. So far
as heard from, the transportation peo-
pie at the last two points named, think
the rate Is low enough. Because the
town Of Kings Mountain, however, Is
only eight miles from the battle-ground,
the people there knocked 25 per cent
off the committees rates and the
Grover people being only eight miles
away reduced the rates to so per cent.
The Kings Mountain people have some
in having the larger town
and a better way Of taking care OF
more people; but the Grover folks In
sist that they will take care OF all
comers. Yorkville and Glover are not
making much fuss about the matter;
but Sheriff Brown at Yorkville and
Mr.. A. J. Quinn at Clover, promise to
take care Of all who let them know OF
their coming in advance or who send
the price Of transportation ahead.
There is no reason to doubt that there
will be large numbers Of people, who
will want transportation from all
points; but the different committee
men have no way Of even guessing
how many people they will have to
provide for.
