Consumption Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE

Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Peri ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs n mass of ulceration; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. a friend, thinking
TO relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle OF Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James SOON after
dismissed his doctor. and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete. aud in February he
returned TO work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

KILLED ON THE TRAIN.

There was an excursion over the
Carolina and Northwestern railroad
from Lenoir to Chester and return last
Saturday, and the train was well
crowded, especially with people from
North Carolina.
Everything passed off pleasantly
enough until during the return trip,
when a young man named John Pack,
from Gastonia, fell off the train at
Bowling Green, and was killed.
From the best information obtaina-
BILE, it appears that Pack, who has
relatives at Bowling Green, had gone
out on the platform between cars, eth
er with the expectation of getting of
or greeting his relatives as the train
went by.
Whether he attempted to jump from
the train or fell, does not appear exact
ly clear; but it is stated that his head
struck a crosstie, his skull was frac-
tured by the conclusion, and he was
dead within about 40 minutes after
ward.
There was no inquest or other legal
investigation into the tragedy. The
remains were inferred at Bowling
Green on Sunday afternoon.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The ministerial conference, of York
Vile, has decided upon union services
to be held in the various churches on
Sunday evenings during the summer.
The first of the series was held in the
Presbyterian church last Sunday night,
and was conducted by Rev. E. S.
Reeves. The place of the next service
will be announced later.
Mr.. T. B. McClain, completed the
work of raising the big smoke stack
for his cotton mill last week. 1t was
difficult undertaking, coupled with a
great deal of mental anxiety about
fact possible accidents.
Few people have much idea Of the
extent of the vicious practice Of
carrying concealed weapons. While
walking along the streets a few days
ago, the reporter saw two little nigs,
of less than 12 years, intently exam
ining an old pistol barrel that was evil
dently the treasured prize of one.
Presently another little mig of about
the same age, came up, ssw what the
others were looking at, drew from his
pocket, a nickel plated, double acting
revolver, and in o disgusted tone, evil
dencing conscious superiority, remark:
ed, "Pshaw why don't yer git yer
sompin' like dis ?"
The series of baseball games between
the Rock Hill aud Yorkville colored
clubs commenced at the baseball park
last Monday afternoon, with the first
advantage in favor of Yorkville-11
to 8. There was to have been another
game yesterday afternoon, and the
last of the series will be played this
afternoon.
Instead of planting a garden this
year, Mr.. o. E. Grist sowed about
three-fourths of an acre of wheat on
the spot generally used for peas, cab
bage, potatoes, etc. He reports a
harvest of 80 dozen.

CHANGES AT WINTHROP.

The trustees of Winthrop college
held two days session last week, says
the Rock Hill correspondent of the
Columbia State, listened to the annual
report of President Johnson, decided
upon the erection of new cooking
department and dining room, and at
tended to various other matters.
The resignation of the following
teachers were received and accepted:
Miss M. A. Woodrow, natural
science.
Miss Sara Condor, drawing and art.
Miss Clara Johnson, history.
Miss Emily N. Smith, assistant Eng
lish.
Miss Josephene Pearson, matron.
Miss Nora Hogarth, assistant dress
making.
Miss Leila Russell was granted a
years leave of absence without pay.
Miss Mary Leonard, of Reidville,
Spartanburg county, was elected to
take the place of Miss Clara johnson,
and in addition to history will teach
the branches of political economy and
civics.
Miss Ora 1. Smith, of Anderson, re-
cent graduate, was elected to fill the
chair of assistant English made vacant
by the resignation of Miss Emily N.
Smith.
Miss Minnie MacFeat, of Columbia
was elected to teach Kindergarten.
This is a new department, and Miss
MacFeat has considerable experience
in teaching this branch.
All other elections were postponed
until July 18th, when the board will
reconvene for this purpose.
Appropriate resolutions were intro
duced by the chairman of the board
concerning the recent death of Gov.
Ellerbe and unanimously adopted.

YOU get a check for 500. Then in the
meantime, if you can find the good
lady who made the donation, you can
send it back to her with the compli-
ments of Trinity Sunday school" ;"
Another trustee thought this was a
good idea and proposed that his Sun
day school would send $40 also.
Superintendent Lewis laid the mat
ter before Trinity Sunday school last
Sunday. He told the story in detail,
made some touching comments such as
were fully justified by the circum-
stances, and in conclusion asked
whether Trinity Sunday school would
redeem the chain. By a unanimous
vote, the school decided that it would,
and on Monday morning Mr.. Strauss,
as treasurer of the school, forwarded
to Rev. Mr.. Waddell the promised
check for $40.
