YORK.
Rock Hill Herald, October 16: Mrs.
Matte Marcus, who shot and killed
her husband, Henry Marcus, in Cam
den, on the 9Th instant, has been grant
ed bail in the sum of $500. This she
promptly furnished and she has been
released from custody. Little Miss
Mamie, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. H.
r. McFadden is brave child. A few
days ago while Mrs. McFadden was
driving along the highway mule be-
ing attached to her buggy, she had
occasion to leave the buggy, with the
child still being seated in the buggy.
When the mother had gone only few
steps, the mule started off in a brisk
trot, continuing thus for nearly mile.
Little Miss Mamie, who Is only four
years old, had presence Of mind enough
to climb down from the seat and catch
ing the lines succeeded in bringing the
mule to halt, holding the animal until
she was rescued by persons who fol-
lowed. This little girl may we'll be call
ed a baby heroine. .. Little Miss Jean,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Wylie,
had quite painful experience last Sat-
urday. While at the home Of Mr.. j. G.
Anderson, Shetland pony, owned by
Mr.. Anderson, kicked the little girl un-
der her chin, loosening three teeth,
breaking another and rendering her
unconscious for a few minutes. She
was all right the next day, although a
considerable wound was left by the
pony's hoof. .....Rev. J. Barr Harris,
who for four years was pastor Of the
North Rock Hill circuit Of the A. M.
E. church, South, and the past two
years preacher in charge Of the Rock
Hill circuit, left yesterday morning for
his new field at Bozeman, Montana.
Mr.. Harris will go directly to Montana,
stopping, however, a day or two at st.
Louis and day or two at the Nation
al park. On Sunday he preached two
sermons at Mt. Holly. at II a. m, and
Z p. m. These were the farewell ad-
dresses of the pastor, and at the morn
ing service there were representatives
from all the churches Of the North
Rock Hill circuit and the Rock Hill cir
cult. Mr.. Harris leaves this field much
to the regret Of the great number Of
people to whom he has preached most
acceptably for six years. He began his
ministry under rather humble condi-
tions, but by energy and faithfulness
to duty holds place second to no
young preacher in the conference. He
is esteemed as one Of the most success
full because he is one OF the most zeal
Gus and untiring missionary evangel-
lists in the South Carolina conference.
The great outpouring Of the people at
Mount Holly on Sunday to hear his
farewell remarks and to speed him on
his journey among strangers in the
far-off west, must have been crafty
ing to his heart.
CHESTER.
Lantern, October IS: The Rev. ]. r.
Millen was in town to preach at the
A. R. P. church last Sabbath, but
messenger came for him early in the
morning, with the news that his sis
ter, Mrs. w. B. Simpson, was dead.....
The Rev. ]. P. Knox, agent of the
board of church extension of the A. r.
P. church, preached at Hopewell
church in the southern part Of the
county last Sabbath. After the SER
mon he presented the claims Of the
board in reference to the centennial
church it is proposed to erect in Co.
lumbia in commemoration Of the one
hundredth anniversary Of the organi-
zation Of the A. r. P. synod, which
took place at the old brick church in
Fairfield county. The Hopewell con-
gregation Is not as large as 1t once was.
and none Of its present members are
rich enough to be known as persons
Of means" yet they responded to Mr..
Knox's call with the liberal sum Of $S9.
Mrs. Eliza Grafton, Of Milford.
died Saturday and was buried at Cath
olic on Sabbath, the Rev. G. G. Brown
conducting the funeral exercises. Our
information is very meagre, but we
have heard that she was in her usual
health until a few days before her
death. She was the mother Of Mr..
Henry C. Grafton and Mrs. B. A. Rags
dale. She was a Caldwell before her
marriage, and at the time of her death
was about SO years DID,. ...H. Lum,
the Chinese laundryman came around
this morning to bid us goodbye. He Is
off for st. Joseph, Mo. He has been
here since April, 1896, and has made
money. We are really sorry to see him
leave. He is upright and exact in his
dealings. He wants his own and will
have nothing more. He could tell at
any moment anywhere one met him
what anyone owed him, and he seemed
to keep everything in his head. We
have never seen him consult any kind
of a memorandum. A time or two
when we thought we owed him a small
amount he protested that it was paid
and would not for moment even con-
slider the matter as admitting doubt.
Lum says he may come back; he does
not know. There are two other China
men here and the laundry will go on.
His reason for leaving Is that he wants
his nephew, Leon Sen, who goes with
him, to go to school in Chicago. With
out him ne could not get competent
help and might have to send out infe-
rior work, which would cause him to
lose his customers. He therefore deter
mined to turn the business over to 9TH
