Death Of Mr.. r. j. Hagins.
Rock Hill correspondence of the
Columbia State, September 4: After a
somewhat extended illness Mr.. R. JEFF
Hagins, of this city, died yesterday
morning at his residence on East Main
street. Mr.. Hagins was about Sc years
old. For many years he has resided
in Rock Hill and has been engaged,
during most of the time, in the drug
business. He was member, with two
two brothers, of the company which
went from here to the war, and his
comrades say that there was no better
soldier than "JefF" Hagins. The
old soldiers of Catawba camp, United
Confederate veterans, conducted the
funeral this morning. The interment
was in Laurelwood cemetery.
Lost Papers.
1t was not the fault of this office.
THE ENoUIRERs for Jones's Mill, Del
phos, Guthriesville, McConnellsville,
and other points along the southern
end of the Carolina and Northwestern
railroad were put in the post office
here last Friday afternoon as usual.
Since then we have heard of them as
many as fifty times; but have not run
across anybody who has seen them.
1t is the fault of the railroad and the
postal authorities. Inquiry develops
the fact that the postal car fell off the
turntable at Lenoir last Friday, and
the train came down without it. The
mail agent came through but he
brought no mail. What he did with
The ENQUIRERs after he received
them, we have been unable to learn ;
but have forwarded complaint to the
proper authorities. We are sorry that
we are unable to furnish duplicate
copies to all the subscribers who have
been thus deprived of their papers
but our supply is already exhausted.
