Rock Hill Herald, May 8: Died, or
the 30th of April, Mr.. Campbell Wells
of consumption, aged IS years. or
Saturday last, at the Highland Park
mill, Miss Terassa knight, Of dropsy
aged 36 years. On Saturday last, child
Of Mr. and Mrs. Mack Anderson, who
live on the Child's place, near this city
The deceased was about years ole
and was a grandchild of Mr.. and Mrs
w. R. Hayes. On Saturday night, near
Warren, child Of Mr.. and Mrs. T. w
Scoggins. Captain Tom White, OF
the Exchange Bank, of Chester, spent
yesterday in the city......At meet
ing of the fire department Monday
night, Messrs. J. F. Reid and w. c.
Hutchison, sent in their resignation
much to the regret Of the members
Should Mr.. Reid have stayed in until
June 10Th, he would have been a MEM
ber for 80 years. These designations
will cause two vacancies in the ranks
so anyone wishing to become a mem
ber will send application accompanied
by one dollar, to Mr.. T. A. Moore, Sec
retary and treasurer. I'VE believe
that Senator McLaurin's motive was
altogether honorable-that his desire
was to be of service to an old man who
has served his State and country we'll.
The Charlotte Observer takes a sensi-
BILE view Of the incident, when it says:
"There does not appear to have been
any special reason for suspicion that
an effort was being made to purchase
Hampton. The Rock Hill flremen
have received an invitation to attend
the Newberry tournament; but the de-
partment having not yet been equip
ped with reels, it's teams have not hern
organized. In addition to the hose
wagon the department ought to be fur
nished with at least two up-to-date
racing reels. ........T The largest congre-
cation in several years attended the
services at Ebenezer last Sunday. In
the morning the pastor announced four
accessions to the membership, and at
night three more were added.

failing to get a sufficient supply Of wa
ter out Of the rock, have gone back to
a branch several hundred yards away,
and are arranging for an electric pump
to force the water up to the mill. The
way they have digged, ditched and

the we'll in the rock will give capacity
Of 100 gallons per minute. Miss Pan
