of the county any the other east Of the
court house. Mrs. Robert Mills
went to Chester Wednesday to visit
her brother, Mr.. S. H. McLurkin, of
Los Angles, Cal, whom she has not
seen in II years. The protracted
meeting at the Baptist church is COM
manding much interest. The services
attract large congregations and the
sermons of Rev. L. M. Roper, who is
pastor of the First Baptist church at
Spartanburg, are spoken of In high
est terms of praise. SO far this year
we have not seen any Of the beetles
which for several years have been so
destructive of the Irish potato vines
For three of four years they have ap-
peared in swarms as soon as the potato
leaves began to appear. In fact, they
seemed to "come up" with the pota-
ttoes. Mrs. H. B. Buist has received
commission from the South Carolina
Interstate and West Indian Exposi-
ton Company as one Of the 20 COM
missioners of the State at large Of the
woman's department of the exposition.
This is in addition to her appointment
as the York county commissioner Of
that department. This is a compliment
most worthily bestowed. Mrs. Ada
B. O'Bryan has bought the home on
Union avenue which was built by Miss
Woodrow about two years ago, and Is
now occupied by Prof. Buist and fami-
ly. Since the opening Of Winthrop,
Mrs. O'Bryan has been connected
there as housekeeper, and all Rock
Hill will be glad to know that this es-
timable family has decided to identify
themselves with our city,. REV. and
Mrs. L. C. Hinton will celebrate their
golden anniversary May 1st, at their
home near Lewis Turnout. Mr.. Hin
ton is the first Baptist minister this
writer ever knew, and we have always
esteemed him as one of the good men
of our community. We were thus i'm
pressed in our boyhood, and the feel
ing has been strengthened after an ac-
quaintance extending over forty years.
We hope that he and his venerable
bride may be spared in good health to
celebrate their diamond wedding.
On Sunday last Mr.. S. Stanhope Rob-
inson and Miss Emma E Conner, were
married by Rev. w. H. Ariail.. ON
Wednesday afternoon last Mr.. Thomas
w. Jackson, Newport, and Miss Mirum
S., daughter Of Mr.. w. w. Auten, were
married at the home of the bride, Rev.
w. H. Ariail performing the ceremony.
That night a reception was held at the
home of the groom at Newport.
Many of The Herald's readers have
doubtless heard of the intention Of
Captain and Mrs. w. L. Roddey to
erect and donate hospital to this city.
The plans for the building have been
completed; but the location has not yet
been selected, consequently we are not
permitted to make now such publica-
tion as we hope to be able to do later
on. The erection Of a hospital, how
ever, is assured and it will indeed be
monument to Captain and Mrs. Rod
dey, whose hearts are in the PROJECT.
Nothing Is more needful in communi
ty than such a hospital as is designed,
fitted up as it will be with general
wards as we'll as pay wards. This pub
lication is made now to notify all own
ers who have lots for sale that the
proposed hospital association Is in the
market for the purchase of location,
and requests that offers be made to
either DR.. ]. D. Miller or DR.. w. G.
Stevens at as early day as possible.
Glover Review, April IS: Messrs.
McVeigh & Shea, the gentlemen refer
red to by the Aiken Journal and Re-
view, were here some time ago and
looked over the ground, or rocks
boundry about two miles north Of Clo-
yer on the c. & NV. r. r. This land
lies partly on Mr.. d. M. Ford's land
and the rest of Mr. r. T. Smith. These
parties of the first and second part had
an interview on their first visit here;
but could not agree as to the term Of
lease. After McVeigh & Shea left they
started up a correspondence with Mes
srs. Smith &, Ford and finally agreed
on terms. These gentlemen then wrote
Mr.. Ford that they had had their tools
and equipments shipped to this place,
and that they would be here about the
9Th instant with contracts drawn up
ready for all parties to sign. They
came in last week about the time ap-
pointed and went up again and looked
over the proposed lease. They picked
about with drills and said it was hard
granite, just what they were wanting.
After talking awhile they told Mr..
