The Broad River Association.

The next session of the Broad River

First Baptist church of Gaffney, begin
ming Wednesday, August 22nd, and con-

Lancaster For Hoyt.
Several Lancaster gentlemen in
Yorkville this week said that there is
no doubt of the fact that the county
will give plurality, if not majority,
for Hoyt in the first primary. At least
one of the gentlemen who expressed
this view is an anti-Hoyt man but a
good judge of the political situation
in his county.
That Gastonia Matter.
The Gastonia Gazette has not yet
deemed it necessary to publish the
letter of Manager White agreeing to
play baseball in Gastonia, on July 4,
for $50 and expenses. We had hoped
that the publication of this letter might
show that the Gastonia committee has
acted honorably in the matter. AS yet
the committee has not even paid the
expenses of the Yorkville team, as was
alleged to be its intention. 1t would
be interesting, perhaps, if The Gazette
would publish the names of the men,
bers of this committee. Yorkville
citizens who have to make good the
committees representations, would
like to know. People, too, who paid
to see that ball game, would like to
know, since the committee holds that
there was no game, what became of
their money? Surely the Gastonia
committee did not keep it.
Associate Reformed Home Missions.
Charlotte Observer, Wednesday !:
The board of home missions of the
Associated Reformed Presbyterian
church met in this city yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, there being pres
ent: Revs. J. G. Galloway, of Gasto-
mia J. S. Moffatt, of Chester, S. c.;
w. Y. Love, of Coddle Creek, Cabar-
rus county R. M. Stevenson, of Clo-
yer, S. c.; G.. r. White, of Griffith,
and R. G. Miller, of Sardis. Rev. A.
G. kirkpatrick was elected as superin-
tendent of the school at All Healing
Springs. After some discussion the
board decided to open a mission at
Birmingham, Ala, as the church had
not been established in that city. Rev.
Q. G. Parkinson, of Little Rock, Ark,
who is we'll known in this city, was
selected for the important work. 1t
seems that there are quite number of
the members of the Associated Re-
formed Presbyterian church in Bir-
mingham, and Mr.. Parkinson will at
once 60 there, fix up place of wor.
ship and start his ministry.

Coupling Pin Must Co.

The deadly freight car coupling pin
has run its course. The automatic
coupler after Wednesday last will be
part of the equipment OF every
freight car in the United States.
There is a penalty for using any after
that date that is not equipped with
the coupler and no road will receive
the car of another that has not been
changed to suit the law.
The date for the enforcement of
the law was originally January l.,
1000, but owing to difficulty about
securing material for the construction
of the coupler, the railroads received
an extension Of time until August I.
There are about 100000 freight
cars in the United States, which will
be effected by the operation of the
law, and whose coupling facilities will
hereafter be as smooth as that OF pas
senger cars.
The cost to the combined railroad
companies to make the change will
be about $33, 700, 900. The average
cost per car of the new equipment
will be $25. With air brake attach
ments the cost will reach SIS per car
These air brake attachments are re-
quired by the law which became eff
fectlve August rst, but it is likely that
not more than fifty cent. of the cars
will have them. A technicality IN the
provision pertaining to the air brakes
has been seized by the railroads as a
basis tor procrastinatiop about in
stalling them.

Says Lightning Rod Man Was Hypnotist

Hiram Raesley, who owns one Of
the finest farms in lower Noun, Bethel
township, was in Easton on Friday,
says the Philadelphia inquirer, CON
sulting lawyer with a view to stop
ping payment on some sort of note
or check he believes he signed while
under the hypnotic influence of a
lightning rod man. Farmer Raesly
tells strange story. He says that
late Wednesday afternoon two well
dressed strangers drove to his farm;
that one of the men walked to the
field, where he, Raesly, was plowing,
and talked lightning rod.
The farmer declares that he re-
fused to buy rod, and ordered the
man off the premises. But the
stranger kept on talking and making
funny motions.
Raesly says strange feeling came
over him. Presently the agent pro-
duced paper and pen and told
him to write his name. The farmer
says he hesitated to take the pen, but
an irresistible force impelled him to
yield, and do as he was bidden.
Raesly was found sitting in stupor
on his plow when members of his
family went to the field to see why it
was he did not come to supper.
Raesly is respected by all his neigh
bors. The farmer does not know the
nature of the paper he signed, or the
amount it represented.
These individuals are, no doubt,
members of the same gang which OPP

ut is quite probable that the Chi
nese government is not displeased at
the movement which has been started
by the Boxers, since her aim ever is
to convince foreigners that there are
difficulties and dangers to be encoun-
tered by those who would recklcssly
interfere with China.
at is also, however, probable that
the movement has now become more
powerful than is pleasing to the gov
ernment, and has even become thorn
In its side. In China there Is always
the danger that an insurrection
which is not quickly suppressed will
become so great as to threaten the
peace of the empire. Between the
years 420 and 1644 China witnessed
four great revolutions, and since the
latter of these years she has passed
through four other great ones, as
we'll as countless small ones. For this
reason the Chinese are wont to regard
such incidents with sort of equa-
nimity and to deal with them after
their own fashion"
