Had Mr.. Pollock Stumped.
Mr.. ]. B. Wood of Glover, gave Mr.
w. p Pollock quite an uneasy time
last Thursday for a little while. In q
quiet, respectful manner, Mr.. Wood be-
gan asking the speaker certain ques-
tions about the rules, especially the
why of special provisions at Charles
ton. Mr. Pollock assumed at the be-
ginning that the questioner was hostile
and sought to evade and put him of
after the usual style; but Mr.. WOOD
held to the point, with the rules in his
hand, and Mr.. Pollock finally got out
of the scrape by confessing that he was
not familiar with the rules. There was
no heckling about the matter; but
just a straight forward exposure OF
the speakers ignorance Of what he was
trying to talk about.
Negro Row at Fibert.
The negroes had a Fourth of July
picnic at Filbert last Saturday, and II
broke up in row during which Mer-
vim Miller cut Gary Goods throat. II
appears that there was a considerable
quantity Of liquor in the crowd and
this was the cause Of the trouble. Co.
a-cola bottles, stones and sticks flew
around promiscuously for while. and
several negroes were hurt. Miller was
arrested, fined ten dollars. and set al
liberty. AS soon as Sheriff Brown
heard of the affair, he telephoned to
have Miller re-arrested; but some OF
the negroes hearing the message, gave
Miller a tip and he ran away. Gary
Good was cut quite seriously, but his
wound is not expected to prove fatal
The sheriff will investigate the mat
ter thoroughly.
