Negro Was Crazy.
Constable Floyd Stevenson Of Broad
River township, brought Will Jones,
colored, to Jail Wednesday, where he
is now awaiting commitment to the
state hospital for the insane. That the
negro is crazy beyond doubt is borne
out by a story which Constable Steven
son related Wednesday afternoon. The
negro, it appears, had been living in
the vicinity Of Kings Creek. Tuesday,
Mr.. William Wyatt, who lives near
Smyrna, discovered strange negro
walking in his cotton field. Upon his
ordering the man to get away from
there, the negro started toward Mr
Wyatts we'll, and before that gentle
man realized what he meant to do,
the negro had sprung himself into the
we'll, hauling himself to the bottom in
the well bucket, the we'll being a two
bucket affair. Mr.. Wyatt then went
for his gun, and upon coming back,
ordered the negro to come out. Jones
obeyed the command after some little
time. Upon his arrival on terra firma
he suddenly made a dive for Mr.. Wyatt
and for few minutes there was live
ly tussle between the two for the pos
session of the gun which was discharg-
ed during the melee. Finally Mr..
Wyatt overpowered the negro by
striking him a blow over the head with
the stock of the weapon. Jones was
then made fast and brought to Jail
Wednesday morning. His hands are
pretty badly cut as the result of
coming in contact with the chain to
which the two we'll buckets are at
tached Constable Stevenson said that
the negro appeared to be quite ration
al Wednesday morning, save for the
fact that he seemed to be laboring
under a halucination that some one
was pursuing him.
The Road to Kings Mountain.
Following is an extract from an ar
ticle in the current issue of the King S
Mountain Herald: The Cleveland
county commissioners are certainly
making good their pledge to build the
Kings Mountain Yorkville road in
consideration of the county line election
held in April being favorable to Cleve-
land county, and as soon as they are
done with the Yorkville end Of the
road, the other end of the road extend
ing from Kings Mountain to the line
Of Number Five township, will be built
The Kings Mountain precinct road
force is doing the work under the di-
rection of ]. r. Gambel, who is recog-
niZed as an expert road builder. This
means that the work will be done right
When this road is completed a gateway
will be opened to South Carolina COM
merce and travel, q lack Of which the
town of Kings Mountain has felt keen
