Mr.. Neely from Boardman, Fla, by his
friend, Mr.. w. R. Mccullough, who, for
merly of this county, has been located
for several years at Boardman.
Preaching Against Liquor.
''Dick Morse" the wellknown prohi-
bitionist of Charlotte, is in Rock Hill
preaching to the big crowds that are at
tending the Sam Jones meetings. Mr..
Morse is rather unique character. Since
his conversion, some Is years ago, he has
been travelling over the country preach
ing, especially against the sale and use of
LIQUOR, with great earnestness. He pays
his own expenses wherever he goes, and
accepts money only as freewill offering
from those who see fit to give.
Almost Completed.
The handsome new residence of DR.. j.
H. Saye, at Sharon, is almost, but not
quite, completed. The doctor hopes to get
into it next week, and have the finishing
done afterward. His hurry is due to tie
fact that he has sold the house in which
he is now living to the Associate Reform
ed congregation for parsonage. The
building he is now completing contains
nine rooms, including bath room, and,
when finished, will be the handsomest
residence not only in Sharon, but in that
corner of the county.
Fien Stone Quarry.
In looking about to get stone with
which to wall the reservoir at the Glover
cotton factory, Mr.. ". Il. Beamguard re-
Gently opened fine quarry OF granite on
Mr.. d. NJ. Ford's place, four miles north
of Glover. The stone splits out in blocks
of convenient size with the greatest ease,
and under the circumstances might be
little gold mine. The trouble is that
there are no railroad facilities. Although
the quarry is located on the Narrow
Gauge, and Mr.. Beamguard tried to
make reasonable contract tor transpor-
tation, he found that the cheapest way to
get the stone to Glover was by means Of
wagons.
Cyclone and Cloudbarst.
A violent cyclone, accompanied By a
cloudburst and hail, visited the Blairs-
Vile neigh borhood last Sunday. The
storm came up suddenly, and in few
minutes it was over; but during the short
time it lasted, its violence was unusually
severe. Mr.. James Sherrer's barn was
unroofed. fences were blown down on Mr.
Clark w. Moore's place, and the crop
of Mr.. J. E. L. Robinson was so badly
damaged as to make replanting neces-
sary. One man reports that just above
his house the streams were not mudied,
while in sight below, they would swim a
horse. The damage, no doubt, was much
greater than is here mentioned; but the
reporter was unable to get fuller details.
Value of Good Roads.
The Lockhart mills do most Of their
hauling from Sharon. Machinery, lun-
ber and goods come to that point, and
they bring most of their products there
for shipment. The distance is l6 miles.
During the winter, the roads were heavy
and the days were short, it was with much
difficulty that team could make the
round trip in day. Now, with slightly
longer days and comparatively good
roads-roads that are at least hard and
firm-each team, by running somewhat
into the night, manages to make two
trips.
Ahead of Time.
Gatfney Ledger: When the 4.1S train
arrived Sunday afternoon, distinguished
looking gentleman alighted from the train
and repaired to Lipscomb's hotel, regis
tering as "James Aldrich, Aiken, S. c."
1t soon became whispered about that
Judge Aldrich had arrived to hold court.
The fact is that the Judge was little pre-
mature. He had got it into his head that
court was to open last Monday, when it
was not to open until next Monday. The
Judge was eXcusable, however, as a num-
Der of papers in the state had published
that court was to begin last Monday. Mr..
Aldrich remained over until Monday,
when he returned home. During his
stay he was entertained by the members
of the Cherokee bar.
Condition of MIR. Nicely.
Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday: Mr..
John Harvey Neely's condition is now
much more hopeful. When visited by
the reporter last Friday, he was found
sitting on the side of the bed, propped up
with pillows, his feet resting OH the floor.
