of last weeks explains itself: "Wha
motive did the dispeusary board have
in appointing a man from the Other
side of the river as dispenser at Blacks
burg over several applicants from this
side? If we haven't got men on this
side capable of transacting our own
business, let US petition for the state
board of control to close the blessed
institution and then We will have no
business to. transact. The people OF
Cherokee broke loose from old ties OF
friendship to help Gaffney in time Of
need, and now it is treating US with
the basest ingratitude if it endorses
the action of the county board who
assumes to act as guardians for us.

Another Enterprise For Rock Hill.
The Herald, Saturday: 1t affords
us much pleasure to inform our read
ers that it has about been decided that
Rock Hill will be the general head.
quarters of the Stanley Electric COM
pany, of Pittsfeld, Mass. This CON-
pany manufactures electrical machin-
ery of all kinds. W. c. Whitner &
Co., of Anderson, are the company's
general southern agents. By the re-
moval of the Office to Rock Hill, Mr..
w. C. Whitner and family and Mr..
Frank Whitner will become citizens OF
our town. The president of the COM
pany, Mr.. Henry Hines, and the chief
engineer, Mr.. Kelly, were in Rock Hill
Tuesday and took occasion to visit the
site of the proposed electric power
plant on the Catawba river, and they
seemed to be very much impressed
with its practicability as we'll as the
importance of the great enterprise, by
which it is proposed to run all the ma
chinery in Rock Hill, Fort Mill and
Yorkville, and perhaps Charlotte and
Chester. Of this scheme, however,
we will have more to say in the future.
1t is opportune to say now, though,
that the prospect for the early COM
mencement of work on this highly im-
portant enterprise is very bright. The
site of the plant will be Neely's ferry.

inducing the colored brother to 20 to
Arkansas and other southwestern
states. Many whites in this section
remember the beautiful Autographs
that these agents used to distribute.
One of the most striking represented

of large, we'll cultivated plantation.
Sitting on a chair in the yard was a
well.dressed old Negro, peacefully
smoking his pipe. He had evidently
just enjoyed good dinner. The old
woman was in the piazza busy over
her knitting, the daughter was playing
on a piano in the parlor and three sons
were pitching horseshoes in the yard.
1t was an unusually fetching lie, and
sent many poor, credulous Negro to
