evening at Mr.. Adam Pressley's store
about seven miles west of this city
Paul Wilks and Walter Fulce, both
white, had spent the largest part OF
the day in the city. They left here in a
buggy together, and it is reported that
on the way to Pressley's store quar-
rel arose. The two men had about
made friends when they reached the
store. They were both drinking, so II
is said, and when the store was reached
the quarrel was renewed. The two
men after some words were soon on
the outside of the store in the road
where the shooting occurred. Three
shots were fired by Wilks. one Of the
balls entering Fulce, which severed
the femoral artery, and death resulted
from loss of blood in about two hours

Rock Hill Record, December 5: Miss
Susie McCrorey and Mr.. VIM. Shaw
Simpson were married at Richburg
last week at the home of the brides
father, Mr. John T. McCrorey, the
Rev. r. A Lummus officiating. The
bride is a sister of Mr. c. S. McCro-

Chester Reporter, December 5: Mr..
]. D. Grist of Yorkville, was in the city
this morning en- route home from
Durham, n. c., where he had been to
take part in the Interstate Declama-
tion contest as the representative of
the Wofford Fitting school. Mr.. Grist
is the son of Editor w. D. Grist of the
Yorkville Enquirer, and is thoroughly
schooled in the inside workings of a
newspaper office. .Sonnie Fowler,
colored, was arrested Saturday by
Sheriff Colvin and Constable H. c.
Gibson and committed to jail, on the
charge of being implicated in the row
near Lowryville several days ago in
which Knox Chalk, colored, was fa-
tally wounded. Fowler is not charged
with having anything to do with the
shooting Of Chalk, but is charged with
wounding Jim Addison slightly.
Gastonia Gazette, December 5: Yes
terday and this morning there
were in Gastonia two Assyrians with
unspellable and unpronounceable
names soliciting funds, as they claim
ed, for the orphanages in their home
land. There seems to be no doubt that
these men are imposters, takers pure
and simple, and that every dollar they
succeed in abstracting from the
pockets of rharitably inclined and
unsuspecting people is appropriated
for their own personal use. These
men applied to an officer of the
Associated Charities, who refused
to give them a recommendation to the
public. However, they went ahead with
their work and no doubt obtained
quite a good little sum which they
stored away in their pockets: They
should have been arrested for violating
the city ordinance against pro-
miscuous begging and run out of
town. A similar set of men. possibly
the same ones, were run out of
Charlotte last week for this same Of
fence.

reply, and the agent let it fall again
You see, sir, she'll get that first up
set at the junction, and the next at

It was on Lake Erie's troubled sea, and

far from we'll.
Mammal" shrieked the voice next
door, "oh, mamma-it's coming again
worse than ever!"
A sleepy voice was heard replying:
Henrietta, why don't you follow the
directions you told me about before we
came aboard?"
Because I've forgotten whether
ought to breathe in as the vessel rises
and let the breath go out as the darn
thing goes down, or whether it ought
to be the other way. And, oh, man.
ma! I wish I could die before any
thing else happens!"-Cleveland Plain

Laughing In London.-Harry Payne

ants says the New York Herald.
They are very smart, smarter than
ours" he admitted, but they are toe
gloomy. Even at the after-theater
supper at the Savoy-that is the gay
est and smartest restaurant scene in
London-all those beautifully dressed
men and women eat their delicate
food and drink their vintage cham
pagne with pompous solemn looks, In
a kind of Sunday, church-like ST.

Question of Doubt.-George F. Baer.
the president of the Reading railroad
said of a notorious demagogue at a
dinner in Philadelphia:
He Is determined to get every
prosperous corporation into trouble.
His determination to make trouble at
any cost Is as marked as Two-Finger
Mack's.
Finger Mack was a cowboy
and a bad man. He rode into a sa-
loon one night, called for drinks, and
proceeded to insult. one after another,
every person in the bar.
But the men i'm the bar were pa
cific. They didn't want trouble. They
swallowed Two-Finger's insults as
though they had been batteries.
Beaten at this game. the redoubt-
able Two-Finger began to tell tall
stories, a game he was notoriously
proficient in. At the end Of each story
he would look at his listeners inter-
rogatively, hoping, you know. to de-
tect some sign Of incredulity whereat
he might take umbrage. But his tall
est stories. like his insults, all went
down.
Finally. Two-Finger told a tale OF
how a grizzly bear once devoured
him. At the end of the tale he glared
at a mild looking chap of middle age
and hissed:
What do you think of that, hey?
Swallered by a grizzly! And here
am! What do you think Of that?'
1.-The middle-aged man cleared his
throat nervously.
"T don't-hm-I don't. doubt II,
sir he said. 4 don't doubt 1t for
moment
Don't doubt it, roared Two-F1n-
ger. drawing his gun. We'll, I'll make
We doubt t.'"-Washington Star.

Knew His Business.-Two piles OF
apples lay upon the ground one
contained a large-sized and rosy Sc
lection: the fruit of the other was
green and small.
Large on top, sir, and small al
the bottom?" inquired the new as
sistant to his master as he prepared
to fill a barrel.
Certainly not" replied the farmer
virtuously. Honesty is the best pol
icy. my boy. and one I've always held
TO. Put the little apples at the top
and the large ones at the bottom"
The assistant complied. His master
was evidently as green as his greenest
fruit.
"Is the. barrel full. my lad?" asked
the farmer.
YES" answered the assistant,
Good" said the farmer. NOW

To My Clients in
YOrkVille

About one year ago / took the pains
and went to the expense Of advising
every owner of a dwelling who reads
The Enquirer that all the fire insur-
ance companies would in future make
an extra charge in dwelling rates
where all stove flues were not built
suspended on iron stirrups and the
brick laid FLAT from bottom to top,
and the fiue or fues plastered inside.
In other words, If the brick were set
on edge or the flue was terra Gotta
or metal, the charge would apply.
The reason for the charge Is that by
reason of their experience the COM
panies KNOW that many fires orig
mate from defective stove fiues, and
all fues are defective except the KIND
for which there Is no extra charge.
Originally the rule did not apply to
towns that had adequate fire protec-
ton. but 1t does now, and recently
practically all the dwellings In York
willie have been rated, and when there
is a defective fiue the rate Is advanced
is cents on the 500. which means
that $1,000 insurance will cost $500
more for three year periods than for
merly / suggest that all my clients
in Yorkville examine their fiues and
If not found standard that they have
them changed at once. The advance
does not apply to policies already In
force. but will apply when policy ex-
pires l shall be pleased to inform
any property owner who may inquire
whether or not his or her stove fue
Is as 1t should be. The extra charge
in towns without fire protection and
in the country is 25 cents the 800, or
$3.50 the $1,000 for one year, or
500 for three year periods.
