CHESTER.
Lantern. August 27: The Rev. T. D
Latimer, formerly Of York county, bu,
now a minister Of the Presbyterian
church in Alabama, preached an elo-
quent sermon at the Methodist church
Sunday morning. Rev. Mr.. Latimer Is
on a visit to his brother, Mr.. George
Latimer Of this city. Waiting to
get more definite information last Fri
day, We failed altogether to mention
the sudden death of Mr.. Dellie Dren-
nan, which occurred last week in the
mountains of northern New York
where he had gone on the advice of his
physician. We understand that his
mother was at her home in Baltimore
at the time. Willie Moore, son OF
Mrs. Mamie Moore, who lives at the
old Price homestead, three miles south
of town, died last night a little after
12 o'clock. He was clerking in the store
of Messrs. Jno G. Cousar & Co., at Bas-
comville, until he became sick Of what
appeared to be malarial fever; but la
ter typhoid fever developed. =. Married
by Solicitor J. K. Henry, at his resi-
dence, August rs, 1901, Mr.. David Kee
and Miss Maggie Burns. Mr.. and
Mrs. A. G. Brice and Misses Alice Kit
trell and Mamie Brice returned Satur-
day morning from Buffalo, Chautau-
qua and other northern cities. They
were very much pleased with their
trip. People do not seem to real
ize the danger Of telephone and elec-
trio light wires hung too low over rail-
roads. A short time ago a man stand
ing on a car came very near being kill
ed here in Chester by sagging wire
A similar accident happened In Column
bia a few days ago. We understand a
brakeman was struck on the neck
while on top of an L. & c. train at the
Lancaster Cotton mill day or two
since, by a cable which was allowed to
sag. The cable was put across the
track by the contractor building the
new mill. The mans escape was very
remarkable, as he was knocked down
on the cars; but luckily did not fall
between the cars, or he would have
been killed. We should take nc
chances with life, when safety is at
tainable.

val meetings at Fork Hill and Pleas
ant Plain churches. On Sunday he
baptized 12 candidates for membership
at Fork Hill, and Monday morning q
at Pleasant Plain. The heavy rain
last Monday night raised the branch
that flows just south of the cotton mill
so high that the water ran over the
embankment Of the Narrow Gauge side
track, causing it to give way, and
large gap to wash through it. The
