duced a razor and proceeded to cut
her up from head to foot. The plan
seems to have been to sink the razor in
her skin up to the hilt, pull it out
and make another cut at right angles
to this. They started at her ankle and
| kept this up all the way up her body
until the shoulders were reached.
| Then they left their victim lying on
| the roadside in her suffering and
! agony, with her screams for mercy
rending the air. Here she was found
| by some white men who carried her to
| a nearby house and summoned DR.. \.
NJ. Wylie, from this city, who went
| to her and sewcd up her wounds.
| Although almost craZcd by pain, the
| woman is alive and will probably re-
| cover though the scars will go with
her to her grave. The feud seems I"
date back to previous difficulty. The
| Wylie woman and one of the Davis
women had fight in which the Wylie
woman cut the Davis woman on the
arm. All of them were tried before
Magistrate Steele anu fined So each.
The mother and sister of the Davis
woman then vowed vengeance and
catching their victim out and alone
proceeded to handle her in the fashion
described.
Gaffney Ledger, August 26: far
mer near Gaffney recently hired lad
to help him do chores. one morning
| the farmer told him to take some salt
and salt a calf OUT in the pasture.
| The boy took a quart of salt with him
and thoroughly rubbed it all over the
calf, working it into the hair. a gang
of colts in the pasture scented the salt
and got after the calf They licked
all the hair off the calf and nearly
| took the hide off too. ..... .SchoOl DAYS
| for Gaffney have rolled around again
and there is universal lamentatlon
among the younger folks of the city.
The school trustees at recent meet
| ing decided that school would open IN
this city next Tuesday, August 3Oth.
This action was taken on account oi
the request of the principal and be-
cause of the fact that the school COM
mencement each year conflicts with
the commencement at Limestone col
lege. BY beginning two weeks earlier
this session the public schools VIII
close before the commencement at
Limestone begins. .....The man VINO
handles the local department of
newspaper learns after due experience
not to expect even briefly expressed
thanks from a column of pleasant
things. but he knoweth as surely as
cometh the winter that a single line
in which there is an unintentional rep
resentation will cause some one To ne
heard from as if from house top.
And we may add that when ne mas
made pleasant mention 999 times OF
some person, place or thing but on the
thousandth time fails to do so, he must
not expect to be forgotten. The omls-
sion may have been from accident, in
adycrtance or even an entire lack OF
knowledge. 1t matters not. The SIM

from the city attorney and the cleo
