Sudden Death.
MIR. James w. Fewell, who lived on
the Lincoln road about five-and-a-halt
miles northeast of Yorkville, died sud-
denly on Monday morning at about Z
O'Clock. His death was probably due to
heart disease. He was aged about 10
years, and was highly esteemed in his
neighborhood.
New Magistrate.
The York delegation in the general
assembly held a meeting in Yorkville
on Monday and decided to recommend
Mr.. S. NJ. Faris as magistrate for Glover.
According to the understanding already
given out by the governor, Mr. Faris
will receive his appointment without
unnecessary delay.
The County Board.
The county board of commissioners
held it's regular quarterly meeting in the
office of the auditor last Monday. The
reporter WAS llol pISSClt VII oSSooiN Ma
other matters Of more Importance which
had to be attended to; but was informed
by Supervisor Culp that no business OF
special public interest was transacted.
Don't Leave Them Out.
DR.. McDowell's bicycle was stolen the
other night from DR.. Whites back porch,
and the doctor now thinks that this incl
dent ought to be warning to owners OF
wheels to take them in at night DR.. Nc
Dowell is right about this matter. The
bicycle is a wonderfully tempting bait to
the average vagabond thief, and there
have been enough thefts OF wheels lately
to make owners more careful.
To ReorganIze the Globe.
Columbia State, Sunday: The secreta-
ry of state yesterday issued a commission
to w. l.. Roddey, A. Friedheim, A. F.
Ruff, R. T. Fewell, A. K. Smith and j..
r. London as corporators of the Victoria
Cotton mills of Rock Hill. The company
proposes to manufacture from cotton and
other fibres. The capital stock is to be
S75,OOO divided into shares Of SlOO. This
is said to lie new company, builded up
on the 1OTtll0T UlODG Solloh
Newspaper? why Certainly.
AS soon as possible after getting the
news of the disaster, a reporter for The
ENQUIRER hurried to Rock Hill. While
there he learned that ready-made cut OF
the burned side of Main street could be
had for the money, and, without hesta-
ton, THE ENQUIRER put up the money.
Under the circumstances, we calculated
that an accurate picture of the main por-
ton of the scene would be more satisfac-
tory to the reader than whole column OF
description.
Will Not Hurt the Town.
Mr.. w. J. Roddey, one of Rock HilPs
leading business men, said to the reporter
on Sunday: 1.-THE fire has hurt individ-
uals, of course but, as a whole, the town
has not been seriously damaged" BY
this the reporter understood Mr.. Roddey
to mean that although the insurance
would not fully cover the loss, it was
sufficient at least to replace the buildings
burned with others more desirable, and
incidentally, of course, there would be
turned loose sufficient amount Of money
to enliven things generally.
Telephones Instead of Telegraphs.
Representative Epps was in Iorkville
on Monday and called the attention of the
reporter to an inaccuracy with reference
to a hill introduced by himself at the re-
cent session of the general assembly.
The statement was that Representative
Epps had introduced a resolution to make
the owners of telegraph wires RESPONSE
BILE for injuries sustained to individuals
on account of fallen lines" Instead OF
telegraph" wires the bill applied to
telephone" wires, and it was introduced
by request. 1t was killed, however, in
committee.
Death of Kittie Morrow.
Little Kittie, the eleven year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Pelham Morrow,
died at her home in Yorkville last Sum
day morning. The little girl had been
ill for several months with hopless case
Bright's disease, and her long and tedious
suffering was the occasion of much dis
tress not only to her parents, but to the
many friends of the family, including her
young associates, with whom she was
quite popular. The funeral was conduct
ed at Mr.. Morrow's residence on Sunday
afternoon by Rev. w. G. Neville, and the
remains were taken to Gastonia, y. g., ON
Monday morning for interment.

Fair Warning.
We have received number of conf
plants recently about copies OF THE
ENQUIRER sent to our subscribers being
stolen from boxes along the roads and
