Rock HILL, October 1.-The bicycle
seems about to supplant short distance
trips on the railroad as we'll as the use of
a horse and buggy "about home" A
short time since Rev. Mr.. johnson put
his in service with trip from Catawba
Junction to Lancaster, and last Friday,
Prof. Hall, of the graded school, rode
through the country from Yorkville to
Kings Mountain, and back to Rock Hill
on Sabbath afternoon. A trip he is very
fond of making as his family still are at
home.
Some of the friends of Colonel A. r..
Banks were favored with sight of him
on our streets last Saturday. He-is not
an unfrequent, but still an ever welcome
visitor tn his old haunts. Unfortunately
they are all flying trips.
Mr.. J. Z. Holmes, grand director OF
the South Carolina jurisdiction of the X.
of H., paid us short visit last week. He
is a very enthusiastic knight and those
who met him were pleased with him. 1t
is likely that he will visit this section
again in the near future.
Mrs. Jones, from Atlanta Ga, has been
visiting her brother, Mr.. E. w. Wood OF
this place. Mrs. Jones has been blessed
with beautiful voice and with, what is
still more beautiful in musicians, an ac-
commodating disposition. While here
she added much to the enjoyment of the
worshipers of the different churches by
singing with the regular church choirs,
and also rendering few select solos.
Next Sabbath morning the communion
service will be held in the First Presby-
terian church. AS usual, preparatory
services will be held on Friday night and
Saturday morning. The pastor will be
assisted in these by the Rev. S. II. Hay
of Glover.
Miss Fannie Wilson and Misses Fannie
and Sadie Friedheim, have gone to Con-
verse college for the coming term. Miss
Carrie Mobley has returned to her stud
les in Norfolk. Such departures as these
are common at this season; and the tow
is stripped of it's young people until the
Christmas holidays.
During the summer months visitor TO
Winthrop college felt as if he had found
the abode of solitude itself. The rooms
were empty, the halls quiet; all deserted.
It's different now. On Tuesday the rush
came. For few days before, the teach
ers had been coming in singly and by
twos, but with the arrival of the o. Il. "
C. on Tuesday, the scene changed. Each
train since that one has brought III
fresh lot until now the college has its
regular appearance. Considerably mo re
than 300 are in attendance. Two hum
dred and forty can be accommodated IN
the dormitory. There will not be this
many boarding outside, but there will be
about 100 who have secured board in prl-
vate families. With their new uniforms
they make fine appearance. The ex-
aminations have begun and in few days
all will be at regular work again. The
town welcomes them one and all.
DIR. w. \. PRESLEY was the happy re-
cipient of surprise few days since.
DR.. Presley was one Of large number
who sent in essays on the question OF
"Germicides and Anti-septics in Dentist
ry.n Prizes had been offered for the four
best, and to our honor our citizen came
out second, winning 800. The winner of
the first prize was also South Caro- Ii
nian, while the contest was open to the
United States and Canada. This will
show to the world that we have som e
