Ply "'" i , Vol.V. LINCOLNTON. N. C. FRIDAY. JULY 7, 1911. No. 54 FOR THE SUM OF FIVE CENTS. ; A Near Tragedy Vas Pulled off In Freedmon on July 4th When the Bul letiBeganto Fly ThereN-Waia Hasty Exit Some Out of the Door While v Others Took the Window Route. The colored folks ot Lincolnton celebrated the Fourth of July in great style. Among other things an out of town band was hired for the occasion. A regular old time barbecue was served consisting of mutton, chicken and other deli cacies. This was under the aus pices of the A. M E. Zion church. Everything passed off nicely with the exception of a scrap which took place in the afternoon. It seems that .Tim Macon and a few others had rented the Masonic hall to have a dance and otherwise enjoy themselves and charged the outsiders the sum of five cents to participate. Things were going along smoothly until one, Jim McDowell, appeared upon the scene. According to the testi mony offered at the mayor's court McDowell, who, by the way, is a Cherryville negro, failed to come across with the long green' when he engineered himself into the place set aside for the aforesaid pleasures. He demurred and a complaint was lodged to the ex tent that the offender was ushered to the door, notwithstanding the fact that he repeatedly asserted that he had contributed the neces sary entrance fee. This Jim Macon, one of the renters of the hall denied. A kw words passed and the Lincolnton negro handed his Gaston county friend a jolt on the jaw. This riled him consid erably and he proceeded to reach for his fortveieht The Lincoln- ton negro didn't like that mode of procedure so he made a quica crip to the back door and no sooner did he hit the Ground than he gathered up a liberal supply of rocks and heaved one at his Gas ton neighbor pasting him with a hot one on the neck. The Gaston darkey's artillery failed to go off the first io or three times else theia would have buen a different story to write. However by this time he had already fired one shot which failed to connect The Lincolnton darkey ducked when he shot the second time and this probably again saved his life for the bullet skimmed his lips. By this, time Jim Macon started hik ing it across a cotton field with McDowell in pursuit. After tak ing one more shot which was the last in Lis gun McDowell began to hunt the tall timbers but he was intercepted and held up at the point of a pistol by Frank Burton until Officer Womack- arrived and took him in tow. ; The whole affair was aired in the Mayor's court Wednesday morn ing and Mayor pro tem H. S. Rob inson decreed that the defendant in the proceedings who is entirely too handy with the gun, especially on that great and glorious day when the eagle screams, should put up a bond of two hundred plunks or else become the coun ty's guest at Hotel de Hallman. He is now in jail awaiting the next term of court Two Women are Hurt In Runaway Ac cident. Special to The Birmingham JXewn. , Alexander City, July 3. While out driving late Saturday evening Mrs. N. B. Dean, wife of Dr. Dean of this city, and Mrs. Ceila Dean, her mother-in-law, were thrown from a buggy ' by a run away horse. Both we're painful ly, if not seriously, injured. Mrs. N. B. Dean was picked up unconscious with her left arm broken and her right arm severely bruised and a long gash cut a cross her forehead, which bled pro fusely. She was also bruised a bout the feet and lower limbs. Mrs. Ceiia Dean was also pain fully hurt, receiving many bruises and a gash andbruise across her forehead. It is regarded as almost a miracle that the two babies, which the two women had with them in the buggy, were not instantly killed, but it is reported that neither one of the babies was in the lepst injured. Mrs. N. B. Dean was formerly Miss Sallie McMullen, and is pleasantly remembered in Lincoln ton as the granddaughter of the late Rev. R. Z. Johnston. ' Subscribe for the news.

We have been dry also, but let me tell you a few words about the farm. Subsoiling is the first things Never plant corn without it, it it can be avoid ed. Then when you go to plow corn after weeding it a cultivator is all right, but if land is red or gravelly the second plowing, ton gue it deep about or before har vest, then the cultivator will do from that on, but if you are left without rain plow bne row and leave one in corn or cotton, and wait until it rams or wait one week ana tuen plow tne other row and keep on at that and your crop will be green !I the year.
