moved with her husband to Texas in
1854, and up to the time of her death,
which occurred on August IL, lived in

Shower of Meteors.
Prof. J. X. Rees, Of Columbia uni
versity, predicts the regular 3S.year
meteoric shower on November 13 or IA
of this year. He says that it will come
after l2 O'Clock of one of the nights
stated. There are a great many old
people who remember the shower OF
1888 and number of comparatively
young ones who remember that OF
1866. If the calculation turns out cor
rect, the shower of 1899 will be well
worth setting up for.
Clemson Wins.
There was a large crowd In ROCK
Hill last Saturday to witness the foot
ball game between Clemson and David
son, and the gate receipts amounted to
something like 5000. The game was
a very interesting one; but from the
outset it was apparent to observers
that the Clemson team was by far the
superior one Of the two. 1t had the
advantage in weight, skill and expert
ence. The score at the close OF the
game stood 10 to O in favor of Clemson.
The bloodhound Law.
There is serious defect in the law
requiring sheritfs to furnish supervl-
sors with bloodhounds. 1t has devel-
oped that while bloodhound is q
bloodhound, an unframed bloodhound
is no better for the purposes desired
than is any other pup. The sheriff
who undertakes the work of training
bloodhounds will have very little time
for anything else during the progress
of the task. While they were at 1t
the lawmakers should have said "train-
ed bloodhounds.
Board Of Trade.
The movement over in Rock Hill
looking to the organization of a board
of trade is good one, and we wish 1t
success. AS a matter of fact, the his
tory of such organizations in towns OF
less than 10000 inhabitants has not
been very encouraging. Just why, it
is hardly necessary to discuss further
than to suggest lack of concentrated
interest. In order to live, a board OF
trade must be kept busy. There is al
ways something turning up" in large
cities but in small ones it is necessary
to turn something up. There are men
in Rock Hill who are capable of doing
this and there also capable men in
Yorkville; but the question is, Twill
they give the matter proper atten'
ton ?" 1t is our sincere hope that they
will
Deal In Factory Stock.
One of the largest transfers OF fac
tory stock that has taken place in this
section for many day was made last
week, when Mr.. S. NJ. McNeel sold to
Mr.. Jno. R. Ashe 130 shares at 1925 a
share. Mr.. Ashe already held 474
shares, and as the result of this deal his
holdings are increased to GOA shares.
Mr.. McNeel bought most of his hold
ings at par and to him the transfer
represents considerable profit. By
the sale of his stock, however, be
loses financial interest in the mill and
it becomes necessary for the stockhold-
ers to, at an early day, elect his sue
cessor as president. He, however, will
continue 10 serve until his successor is
elected. The mill is now generally
believed to be making money more
rapidly than at any time in its short,
but remarkable history.
