EASTER SERVICES.

Although to the great disappointment
of both congregations, the day was rainy
and disagreeable, Easter was celebrated
as usual in the Church Of the Good Shep-
herd and i'm Trinity church, last Sunday.
In the church Of the Good Shepherd
the decorations were tasteful; but not
quite so elaborate as on previous occa-
sions. The usual lay service was read,
and on Sunday night Rev. j. w. Cantey
Johnson, of Rock Hill, came over and
conducted regular service and dispensed
the communion. He also conducted SER
vices in the church on Monday and early
Tuesday morning.
Trinity church was most beautifully
decorated. The lady members COM
menced work several days beforehand,
and by Saturday night the interior OF the
church presented combination of taste,
propriety and beauty that has seldom if
ever been surpassed. The morning SER
vices were appropriate to the occasion,
the sermon being preached by Rev. E. P.
Hutson, of Richburg. In the afternoon,
the Sunday school had special Easter ex-
ercises and there were also services at
night.

Jones, w. J. Roddey, j. C. Willie.
Messrs. w. j. Roddey and A. D. Hol-
ler, both OF Rock Hill, were excused on
account of the recent fire, the former be-
cause of his connection with the adjust
ment of insurance losses, and the latter
because of bis being member of the city
council, which body now has under con-
sideration numerous permits.
The first case taken up was that of T.
Glib Culp, supervisor, against j. P. Jen-
kins, the owner of the original package
shop at Tirzah. The action was brought
in behalf of the county to recover from
the plaintiff penalty of 800 for having
failed to return the stock Of the original
package concern for taxation within 30
days after commencing business. The
jury returned verdict for the plaintiff in
the full amount sued for and costs.

cause of the shattered condition Of the
plate glass. New glass has been ordered
for most of the doors and windows and
is expected this week.
The officials Of both banks are in fine
humor over the prospects. The insu-
rance payments will bring to the town
many thousands of dollars of cash that
would not otherwise be floating around
Rock Hill this spring and summer. Tom
Johnson is all smiles, and is sticking
more closely to his desk than ever. Lee
Kerr also sees better times ahead. Neith-
er, of course, has for moment lost sight
of the heavy loss thnt some of their
townsmen have sustained; but they are
not of the kind who cry over split milk.
They know that the money that will be
turned loose for labor and one thing and
another during the next few months, will
make the birds sing and the flowers bios
som. If there is any one thing in the
world that delights the hearts of those
bank boys over in Rock Hill more than
anything else, it is to keep the circulation
circulating, and if there is anybody in
this country who knows better than they
how to do this, the fact is as yet secret.
During the day the newspaper man
saw nobody who appeared to be down in
the mouth. Some of the more prominent
business men appeared quite serious; but
that is because they are just now con-
fronted with knotty business problems.
None of them have as yet fully matured
their plans. But watch that burned
block and The men who expect to re-
establish business in it.

that the president should have at least
recognized belligerency, and then even
if this country had not gone any further,
the patriots would have been able to speed :
lily work out their own independence.
Maybe the president has good reasons for
what he has and has not said but ac-
cording to our understanding of the whole
matter, there is but little in his message
which we feel we can approve. The
"war ought to stop it is true; but let it
not be stopped by taking away from the
patriots all they have won, and merciless-
ly tramping it under loot.

urer was asked if he knew the story
of the publication of the de LONE
letter, and without names he told the
first authentic story of how it was
obtained. He explained that it was
distracted by a clerk in the postotfice
at Havana who was in sympathy with
the Cuban cause and sent it back to
New York. There its Importance was
at once realized and it was given out
for publication, the action being justi-
fed because it showed conclusively
what the Cubans had always contend
ed, that Spain was double dealing.

BROKE ALL RECORDS.

Notwithstanding wars and rumors OF
wars, the ladies are always for the pref
tiest in spring millinery, and last week
Mrs. r. M. Dobson broke all previous
records for this section in the large num-
ber of hats she sold.
Almost everybody yknows-maybe some
of the men folks do not--that the spring
hat must usually be completed by Easter.
That is the time fixed in orders, and the
few weeks preceding Easter, therefore,
are usually the busiest of the whole year.
Last Saturday was delivery day. OF
course large numbers Of hats had been
delivered during the week, especially to
people in the country, and town orders,
for convenience, were held to the last
minute.
On Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Dobson
had 50 hats to deliver in the town of
Yorkville alone. Mr.. DObson was kept
running back and forth all day on his
bicycle; but he could not nearly keep up
with the demands of the occasion, and it
was necessary to call into requisition Mr..
J. II. Riddles delivery wagon, with which
there was made something almost like a
house to house canvass.
The reporter called at Mrs. Dobson's
Monday afternoon. She was still very
busy assisting Miss Rea finishing up de-
layed orders-hats which it was impossi-
BILE to complete on time on account of the
usual rush. But Mr.. Dobson was at leis-
ure. He is the pioneer in millinery in
this section, and he remarked that dur
ing his entire experience of % years, he
has not had such heavy and long sus-
tanned Easter rush before.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Dobson think that
the millinery trade will continue unusual
ly good during the rest of The season, and
are prepared accordingly.
