"A negro has recently been caught
near Rock Hill in the act Of throwing
rocks at the windows of q passing
train. It seems that the negro had
been at this dangerous work before
and the authorities were on the look 4
out for him. He was lodged in jail in
Yorkville. 1t is pity that the person
who hiss several times thrown rocks
at trains near Winnsborc could not
be discovered. Such malicious mis-
chief should not 80 unpunished. ]
a terrible rain and wind storm {
accompanied by thunder and light
ming occurred on Tuesday afternoon. !
The day had been sultry and warm
and the storm was expected, but the
telegram from the weather bureau
predicting heavy frost was sur
prise to all. After the storm the
Temperature dropped many degrees,
and b7 Wednesday morning there was
a plenty OF ice to be seen. The high
wind which blew all night prevented
frost. This cold snap has PROBABLY
finished up the fruit crop.
