Says the Rock Hill correspondent
of the News and Courier: The vacan-
cy occurring in the graded school on
account of the resignation of Mr.. ].
Porter Hollis, who resigned in order
to take normal postgraduate course,
has been filled by the election of Mr..
Jennings K. Owens. Mr.. Owens is
one of the boys of whom Rock Hill is
proud and his selection meets with
unanimous approval.
Union correspondence of the Col
umbia State: Whilst Mr.. w. w.
Dixon, prominent lawyer, was taking
his morning nap, a Negro stepped in
and asked him if he wanted some
wood cut. Mr.. Dixon said no, and
wanted to know why he was still
standing there, the Negro leaving in
the meantime with his gold watch,
which Mr.. Dixon would like to re-
cover. The Negro has escaped the
police 80 far.
Rock Hill Herald, Saturday: Cap
tain w. L. Roddey's condition has so
far improved that he was able to 60
to the summer home of Messrs. w. q.
Whitner and w. J. Roddey, on the
Catawba, where he will doubtless con-
tinue to improve. This is delightful
home with broad piazzas in the midst
of a primeval forest, and looking
through an extensive opening cut
through the woods, a beautiful view
of the Catawba for perhaps mile is
obtained as it pours its torrent toward
the sea. 1t is an ideal spot and the
home is delightful for its cool situation
and quietude. All the inmates are
charmed and will spend the balance
of the summer there.
IF there were no other facts upon
which judgment could be based, the
fact that Mr.. VIM. H. Lyles has un-
dertaken the Sutro mill reorganization
ought to give all the assurances that
one would desire. Mr.. Lyles is one of
the ablest lawyers in the state. He is
not exactly a man "who has never
lost case :" but he has won some ia
nous cases that few other lawyers
cared to tackle on account of their diff
fculty. This is not law case exact
ly; but Mr.. Lyles is as much at home
in finances as in law. While he would
be justified in taking law case that
be had no hopes of winning, he could
not with justice to himself take such
q case in finances. The presumption
is that he fully understands what he is
doing, and that means that Mr.. Nc
Claim is going to win.
