SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS
FIGHT OVER TOMBSTONE.
One injured and Another Is in jail
-Location th. Cerse.

The, State of Saturday says as the
result of disagreement over the To-
cation of gravestone which they
were placing over the last resting
place of James Powers, Wade Augh-
try is in Jail and James Powers Is
suffering from mysterious wound in
the head. Powers had purchased a
tombstone and Thursday he engaged
Aughtry to go with him to place tine
stone at his fathers grave in the
jackson Greek churchyard on the Two
Notch road, 10 miles from Columbia.
While preparing for the installation
disagreement arose between the
two and the subsequent events ac-
count for the injury to Powers.
Aughtry said that Powers carried
a pint of whiskey with him and be-
came under the influence of the
liquor before they had succeeded in
getting the stone erected. Aughtry
claims that Powers insisted on put
ting the monument in the centre of
the grave instead of Mt the head and
that when Aughtry demurred became
veXed and advanced with an open
knife.
The accused says that he pushed
Powers away from him, the man fall
ing and striking his head upon a
nearby headstone to grave. When
he arose he was bleeding and Augh-
try brought him back to the city in
the wagon that had carried the
gravestone out. Aughtry. is charged
with assault and battery with intent
to kill and was placed in Jail on a
warrant issued by Magistrate Easter
ling. The wound is not serious one,
but Aughtry will be held to await de-
vclopments.

Quaintance escaped the tedium
of picking and choosing from the
bill of fare by the simple expedi-
ent of giving him carte blanche
for the best dinner Martins coula
provide.
There were seated about him,
actors and artists. musicians and
authors, idlers and business men,
representatives of the professions,
fortunate race track followers; a
mixed and cosmopolitan gathering,
all outwardly gay dogs and good
fellows. The womenfolk were al
most without exception young and
good looking.
The hum of their cheerful In

|ping of corks, the clink of ice, the
|subdued clatter of crockery, the
|obligato of knives and forks, filled
every corner of the cool rooms.
The echoes of mems mirth and
women's light laughter blended.
Quatntance was well satisfied
with his surroundings. He saw
that he had come out on the sea-
shore of Upper Bohemia. that fash
ionable resort where 1t is always
sunshine and summer. where night
is even as day. And. when soup
was brought, he bethought himself
of his Burgundy. Two glasses
were set, one by the empty chair,
and into that at his elbow trickled
Ia ruby liquor, the very life blood

He lifted It meditative1y.
