near Tirzah, last Thursday night, at II
O'Clock. Mr.. Wallace was nephew OF

Contract Let.

Carolina and North Western railroad, be-
tween Hickory and Newton, was let last

noir. There were several bidders; but
the firm mentioned was the lowest. The

State Druggists.
Rock Hill Herald: Through the secre-
tary, Mr.. Julian A. Barbot, the Pharma-
ceutical Association of the State OF South
Carolina has formally accepted the invita-
ton to hold its next annual meeting IN
this city in November, 1898. The pill
rollers" will be welcomed and made to
enjoy themselves. We will treat them
to wine and honey and Danish from their
thoughts the ill-smelling, worse tasting
decoctions of mortar and pestle.
Almost a Scare.
Yorkville came pretty near having
smallpox scare recently. 1t was about
10 days ago. A gentleman from the coun-
try brought his son, who was all broken
out with suspicious disease, to York
Vile physician. The physician knew OF
a certainty that the boy had not had an
opportunity to contract smallpox, and
was not alarmed. He treated the disease
for chi hickenpoX, and now the patient is
entirely well. But had the physician not
been prudent enough to keep his own
counsel during the whole affair, Yorkvllle
would have no doubt been placed in the
list of smallpox towns.
Cotton Growers of Bethel.
The Bethel cotton growers held two
meetings last Saturday. One at Glenn Il
Riddles store, and the other at Forest
Hill, and organized two clubs. OF the
club organized at the store, D. 6. Stanton

secretary and treasurer; J. Hope Adams,
R. NJ. Barnett and 1. B. Farris, executive
committeeman. Of the other club, DIR.
r.. w. Campbell was chosen president,
and executive committeeman were chosen
as follows r. NJ. Martin, D. c. Boyd, w.
H. Baird, n. B. Campbell, w. P. Boyd
and j. D. Brandon.
Worse and More of 1t.
. The Indifferent mail facilities which
have been enjoyed by Yorkville for some-
time past, are now to be made worse,
rather than otherwise. Heretofore the
northbound passenger train has been
bringing the Columbia papers, and some
times it has not. When the papers fail
to come on the passenger train they come
OH the freight, unless somebody forgetS.
The freight arrangement will probably
continue undisturbed and uncertain; but
we are informed that so far as the passen-
ger train is concerned, there is 10 hope
of any further connections. There was
change on the Southern road last Sunday
to twenty minutes later for the north
bound train. The Narrow Gauge people
claim that they cannot wait twenty min
utes and make their northern conner-
tions, and this being the case, Iorkrille
will no longer have any accommodations
so far as southern mails by the Marrow
Gauge are concerned.
