Dies from Knife Wound.
Henry Long. an employee of the
Fort Mill Mfg, Co., died in the Fennell
Infirmary, at Rock Hill, last week,
from a knife wound received about
three weeks ago at the hands Of Mar
shall Sanders, also an employee OF the
mill. The wound was unintentional,
Sanders throwing the knife at Long
in a spirit Of play. The wound was
not regarded as serious at first, but
complications setting in, amputation
Of Longs leg failed to save his life.
Upon learning Of the death Of Long,
Sanders placed himself in the custody
Of Magistrate Harris. No action has
been taken.
Seeds for the Farmers.
In reply to a letter from Mr.. w. D.
Grist, Of the Hail Sufferers Relief
committee, asking for such help as
may be possible at Washington, Hon.
A. f. Lever, chairman Of the commit
tee on agriculture, writes that he has
taken the matter up with Secretary
Houston and the secretary has prom
ised to Immediately look into the situ-
alton to see If additional seed can be
sent to this locality. Mr.. Lever does
not know Of anything else that can be
done unless congress shall make direct
appropriation for the relief Of the
storm sufferers, and he is unwilling to
suggest any encouragement along that
line because he considers such an
event doubtful.
The FiIbert Motorcycle Race.
The time limit for entrants in the
motorcycle race to be held at Filbert
Friday, expired last Saturday. Seven
motorcyclists paid the entrance fee of
$3.50. They are: Carl Laughridge,
Guy Killian, Gastonia; Archie Tenn
pleton, Charlotte; Cleveland Jenkins,
Glover: B. G. Lilly. Filbert: C. A. Bo-
ney, w. B. Thomasson, Yorkville. The
race course Is one mile in length, the
start to be made just above the house
of Mr. Jesse Parrott and the finish to
be on a line with the Filbert depot.
Three prizes are to be given, the first
Of $25, and the second and third Of SIS
and SO. Owing to the narrowness of
the spur, each racer will run individ-
ually. The time Of each will be re-
corded by means Of stop watch. The
Filbert Spur will be scraped and put
in as good shape as possible on the
morning Of the races. The arrange
ment committee has made quite extern
sive preparations for the amusement
and pleasure Of the crowd. A merry
go round has already been erected,
and 1t Is probable that a picture show
will be in operation throughout the
day. The understanding Is that sever
al automobile agents will demonstrate
the merits Of their respective cars also.
According to some Of those who have
been familiar with the Filbert picnics
for years, indications point to one Of
the largest crowds ever seen at Fill
bert or any place In the county.
