MARSHAL S THROAT CUT
Sardls Was the Scene Of Great Excite.
ment on Last Saturday Night
When W. 8. Dyens Cuts Throat
Of II. L. Kelley.

A great deal of excitement was had
in the town of Sardis in the south
western portion of this county on last
Saturday night, when Mr.. II. L. Kel-
ley, the marshal of the village, was
wounded by W. s. Dyens
According to a report received at
this office Mr.. Kelley was standing on
the sidewalk in the town talking to an
other gentleman. Dyens, who was a
stranger in the place, came out Of a
store and addressed a remark to Kel
ley who answered him. Dyens did not
like the answer he received pulling a
knife from his pocket made a stab al
Kelley. The latter's throat was cut.
Dyens Immediately escaped from the
town and although a warrant has
been secured for his arrest he has not
been found IN to the present time. He
was a total stranger in the town and
had been drinking. He was with sew
eral other men who assisted in his
escape.
Mr.. Kelley's condition is not thought
to be serious although he was cut in
very dangerous place. The officer
had done nothing to incur the enmity
of Dyens as far as we could learn. If

SPLENDID FEAST OF MUSIC

1t Is with genuine pleasure that the
Ledger gives space to the Harbeson
concert at the High School auditorium
last evening. 1t was very bad night
so that many who would have gone
were prevented. To the scores and
hundreds that were there a most
charming evening was enjoyed. There
were three artists heard, Mr.. Harbe-
son, tenor, his sitter, Miss Harbeson,
soprano, and Miss Florence Barbour
at the piano. The program was all
too short. Mr.. Harbeson has a pure
lyrical tenor voice just such a one as
we see pictured as lovers OF old, SYM
pathetic, sweet descriptive, powerful.
Miss Harbeson is as gracious and
charming in manner as the Lord has
rightly endowed her with a rich So
prano voice. Her stage presence is an
Inspiration and as she scars through
the musical scale her hearers are
transported to realms of bliss. Miss
Barbour at the piano was the splen-
did foundation for the artists and she
played with rare ability. The pro.
gram was given under the auspices OF
the Parent-Teacher Association of the
First District School and that organi-
zation realized quite neat sum Of
money.

ROSS HELD TO
GRAND Jury
And His Bond PLACED at $500 In tho
Examining Trial Before Judge
Whitaker Yesterday Afternoon
For Assaulting Ladies.

In Police Court yesterday afternoon
Robert w. Ross of Orangeburg was
given an examining trial before Judge
Whitaker for assault and battery. AT
ter hearing, the testimony the Judge
held him over to the March term of
the Grand Jury and his bond placed at
5000.
Ross was charged with having as
saulted Mrs. James Ireland and her
daughter, Miss Ada, on West Second
street on Sunday night. On the wit
ness stand Mrs. ireland said that on
the night in question she and her
daughter had been up street and we're
returning home. When in front of the
First-Standard Bank building Ross
was standing there and he began to
follow them. After passing the Rob-
lnson Boarding house below Sutton
street Ross walked around them and
darted into January alley. When the
ladies reached this point he stepped
from the alley and struck Miss Ada
she being knocked to the ground The
ladies began to scream and soon sew
eral men came to their aid, Policeman
William Throckmorton being . in the
lead.
Officer Throckmorton followed the
man down the alley to Front street
and there captured him. He was taken
to jail
Ross said on the stand that he was
entirely unaware OF what was taking
place and that he did not remember at
all the circumstances Of the assault.
He said that he was drunk at the
time and the last thing he remember
ed until he was captured by the Of
icer was getting in his buggy at his
home near Orangeburg. Ross has
very good reputation in his neighbor-
hood and this was the first time he had
ever been in the clutches of the law.

DEATH SUMMONS
Comes Rather Quickly TO Hon. q. VI
Adair, the Oldest Member Of the
Mason County Bar Association
Was n Lawyer for
IS Years.

f1O0. ". w. AuhlT uieu at uib hOhiS
on West Second street yesterday at
1910 p. IN. after very short Illness
His death was due to congestion Of the
lungs Mr.. Adair had been in failing
health for some time although never
confined to his bed. On last Friday
night he was taken sick but on Satur-
day morning he went to his Office on
Market street but soon returned
home, he feeling unable to get about
No fears were entertained over his
condition until late Sunday night when
It was seen that the end was near.
George Washington Adair was born
at Lewisburg in this county, Septem-
Der 20, 1874. He was the son of Will
liam and Sarah Adair and was a de-
scendant of John Adair, who was gov
ernor of Kentucky from 1920 to 1924.
When he was about years old his par
ents removed with him to Lewis coun-
ty where he lived until he had reach
ed manhood. At the age OF 25 he went
to Mt. Olivet and began to teach
school, later teaching in Murphysville
in this county.
In 1881 he began the practice of law
in this city, studying under the late
Henry Wadsworth. From 1893 to 1896
he held the Office of County Attorney.
Since that time he had lived in this
city where he had very large prac-
tice. Not only in this city and county
but in the surrounding section of the
country he was known as an able
lawyer and as one of his many friends
characterized him upon hearing of his
death, "He knew his law"
He was married on February 81,
1871, to Miss Sallie Paul, daughter Of
the late John Paul of Dover, who was
one of the pioneer families of this
county. To them were born five chill
dren, four of whom survive They are
Mrs. Maude Farnsworth of Pasca-
goula, Miss, Mr.. John p. Adair of Chi
cago, Mr.. Asa Adair of Covington, KY,
and Mr.. Robert Adair of this city. He
leaves no brothers or sisters, being
the last of five children.
He was the Oldest member of the
Mason County Bar Association, both
in the number of years and practice.
Mr.. Adair was one of the most So
ciable men in this city and was
great lover of the young people. He
always had pleasant word for every
one and was characterized by his sun
ny disposition and kind and welcome
words for all. He had a very appre-
ciative eye for the beautiful things in
nature and this was shown by his
many short poems that were printed
from time to time. His writings were
simple and contained beautiful lyri-
cal strain, which made them very dis
tinctive.
Mr.. Adair was a man whose friends
could almost be counted by the num-
Der of his acquaintance. His pleas
ing personality readily made friends
for him and he rarely forgot one that
he had met. He was a kind and af-
fectionate husband and father and was
a great lover of his home.
The funeral arrangements have not
been made awaiting the arrival of his
daughter, who will reach this city to-
night. The announcement of this will
be made in tomorrow's Ledger. al
though at press time 1t was thought
that the service would be held at q
o'clock from the home tomorrow after
noon.
