ment-June 4th to 7th-are out.
MIR. watson's School.
Mr.. James A. Watson's school closed
yesterday for the summer holidays af-
tor very successful session.
Annual Outing Postponed.
The State, Friday: The annual out
ing of the Southern employees of the
Spencer shops that was to have taken
place at Rock Hill has been postponed
on account of the inability of the man
agemant to furnish cars, owing to the
demand on them just at present for
cars for excursion business.
Must Be vaccinated.
Probate Judge McCorkle has receiv-
ed from the authorities of the state
hospital for the insane, notice stating
that hereafter no patient will be ad-
mitted except on certificate of recent
successful vaccination. Where pa
tient may have been successfully vac
cinsted year or more before the ap-
plication is made, these must be revac-
cination before admission.
Summer Amusements.
At a meeting of the directors OF
the Wheelmen's Association, held on
Thursday afternoon, it was decided to
have bicycle meet on the Yorkville
race track on Friday, June 16. Full
details were not arranged but the un-
derstanding was that there will be
baseball game on the grounds on the
morning of the 18th, probably between
Yorkville and Chester clubs. The
idea of letting the grounds for series
of baseball games during the summer
was discussed favorably.
The Gilbert Cross Case.
The latest information from the Bull
locks Creek sensation is to the effect
that matters generally have quieted
down. Since the finding of Cross,
opinion is being divided as to the pos;
sible identity of the bones, the individ-
ual who thought he saw skull floating
over Goodies dam some time ago is not
now so certain about the matter, and
| it is generally believed that the shoe
which was so much like one of those
worn by Cross at the time of his disap.
pearance, was left on the creek bank
by some careless member of seining
party.
Piedmont Springs.
In the announcement of Messrs.
Whisonant & Teal, the public is ad-
vised that ample accommodations are
to be had at Piedmont Springs by Wis
itors this summer. During the past
few years, Piedmont Springs have been
visited by large number of people
from different sections of the county,
and every individual who has visited
them have left with good impressions
which have been lasting. The water
has stood numerous practical tests of
efficacy, and the reputation of the
springs continues to grow in favor. 1t
is quite likely that with the increased
accommodations, which are now much
better than ever before, the resort will
become still more popular.
The Pending stock Deal.
1t is not a settled fact that the coun-
ty board of commissioners will hold
another meeting next Tuesday with
reference to further negotiations on
the railroad stock matter. That will
depend largely upon Mr.. Marion.
The understanding is that he is to
communicate with the commissioners,
and the meeting is not to be held un-
less he desires it. Meanwhile there is
considerable interest and curiosity as
to the probable outcome of present
negotiations. So far as the reporter
is able to learn, there are not many
people who are in favor of selling
York county's interest in the Carolina
and North Western railroad outright
for $4,000; but almost everybody is
willing for the sale conditioned upon
satisfactory guarantee of the promised
improvements within reasonable
time.
suspe cted Smallpox Case.
Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday
There is a suspected case of smallpox
in this community; but the patient
has been sent to an isolated point in the
blackjacks, where he is in quarantine.
The suspect is one Will Hilton, men,
ber of the Third Kentucky volunteers,
whose regiment was mustered out OF
service at Savannah, Ga, on Tuesday
of last week. He came to Rock Hill
Wednesday night, and Friday the dis
ease appeared on his body. Steps
were at once taken to isolate him, a
nurse who had had smallpox was en-
