Rock Hill Herald, June %: Recently
The Herald made mention OF the sue
cessful efforts of our citizens in the use
of incubators in the Matching of eggs.
Since then we have learned Of the ex-
nerience of Mr.. E. B. Cook. Early in
the year he put 100 eggs in his incuoa-
tor, 4S of which were shown by his tes-
ter to be fertile, and from that num-
her he got So chicks. Later on he again
mt 100 to set" so of which proved to
be fertile, and IS of the numper
hatched. Recently another hatch or lOo
was attempted, IS Of the eggs proving
to be fertile, and from the sitting ne
got 67 chicks. The incubator Mr.. COOK
uses is. one of the cheaper kind, lncu-
bator and brooder costing only $lo;
but its work has been satisfactory. Mr..
Cook expects to go more largely into
the business of poultry raising next
wear, and will buy two additional In
cubators, each to hold 200 eggs. He has
been very successful this year in rails
ing his chickens and is satisfied that
until the "biddieS" are about two
months old, it is best to feed them only
dry food, such as wheat screenings,
SCRAPS of bread. ground up beef, etc.
He says that he fed that way this year.
and at eight weeks old his chicks
weighed from a pound to pound and
a quarter, the variety being ha1
Brahma. =. Miss Sadie, the 17-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney
Robinson, who returned last week from
All Healing Springs in North Carolina,
where she had been at school, is very
seriously sick with appendicitis at her
fathers home near Edgmoor. Yester-
day DR.. r. E. Wylie, of the Samaritan
Hospital in New York, who happened
to be in the city on business, performed
a successful operation on the young
lady, being assisted by DR.. w. w. Fen
nell. of Rock Hill; DR.. Lynn, of Edg-
moor; DR.. CASTOR, Of Harmony, and
DR.. Mcconnell, Of Chester. Master
Fred, youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. ).
w. Westerlund, died at his home in
this city yesterday of appendicitis.
He first felt the trouble on Friday night
of last week, and on Sunday DR.. CraW-
ford diagnosed the sickness as being
catarrhal appendicitis. The trouble
continued; but the symptoms were IA
vorable, so much so on Wednesday that
the physician thought of dismissing the
case: but the next day about noon the
young mans condition became alarm
ing, when there was rupture of the
appendix which caused general perito-
nitis, from which he died yesterday.
The deceased was a good boy, about
II years old and stood in high esteem.
He was conscious within few minutes
of his death, which is indeed very sad
one. The property of Captain A. E.
in the hands of Thos. F.
McDow, ESQ.,, as trustee, will be sold at
an early day, an order of court having
been taken for that purpose. The sale
will embrace all the property on the
east side of Main street from but not
including the old Savings Bank build
ing to Gordon's old hotel; the vacant
lot on the corner of Depot and White
streets, the grove in the rear of Capt.
home place; the Sims
place in the eastern part Of the city,
some 6O-odd acres, and 80
acres of other property. The trustee
was in the city yesterday and gave us
this information.

the groom. led in prayer. Notwith-
standing the rain. the large church was
filled. Mrs. J. J. Stringfellow played
the march while the uShers, then the
maids. passed up the left hand aisle,
single file, followed by the bride, on the
arm of her sister. Mrs. NJ. S. Lewis
dame of honor. The groom and his
best man, Mr.. G. B. Simmons. of Co
lumbia, came from the pastors study
on the right and met the other party in
front of the pulpit. We should have
mentioned the pretty flower girls,
Misses Lucille Hood and Wrennie Haf-

cousin Of the bride; and Miss Anna
Stokes, sister of the groom. Captain
Stokes was in uniform. The bride was
dressed in white; but that is as far as
we dare go, except to say that she
looked very pretty. A pinkish impress
sion was left on our memory by the
dresses of the other ladies, which may
have been made either by some thin
white stuff over pink or pink over
