traced the act to the guilty persons,
and brought them to justice. They
were taken before Squire Williams,
magistrate at Converse, and made to
suffer to the tune of $50. And it seems
that the end of the case is not yet. 1t
is said that some of the good citizens
of Converse are thinking of pushing
the matter, and that should they do So
it will go much harder with the guilty
ones-and it should. Such ferocious
cruelty, such malicious meanness, SUCH
wreckless disregard for the rights of
others and for the life of a fellow-being
should be punished to the fullest possi-
BILE extent of the law.
LANCASTER.
Ledger, June %: Mr.. w. ]. Cum
ningham has saved all his wheat and
oats, which very few other farmers
have done this year. His yield of each
crop averaged 25 bushels per acre. He
has threshed 713 bushels of oats and
1872 bushels of wheat. Mr.. Cunningham
always sows his best land in wheat and
about his poorest in oats. Mr.. John
Wallace, of the Jacksonham section,
died on Thursday night last, after
protracted illness Of consumption. He
was about IS years of age, and leaves
his widow, three children and several
brothers surviving him. Mrs. Lula
Sowell, wife of Mr.. Mike Sowell, and
daughter of Mr.. Samuel Hilton, of Flat
Creek township, died at her home near
White Bluff, June 10, 1901. She was
about "a years of age, and leaves her
husband and seven children surviving.
......A telegram to ex-Sheriff Clyburn
from Mr.. T. B. Clyburn, Of Columbia.
yesterday morning, announced that the
latter's brother, Mr.. j. Frank Cly-
burn, had committed suicide in that
city. No supposed reason was given
as to why the young man had seen
fit to take his life. ]. Frank Clyburn,
was the third son Of the late Col. T. F.
Clyburn, of this county. He was about
q years of age, and was young man
highly esteemed here. He lived here up
to several years ago, when he accepted
position in Norfolk, Va. He lived
there until he took position in Colum-
bia about IS months ago. Recently he
has been engaged in insurance business.
Frank was a social, clever boy, popular
and liked by all who knew him. The
unexpected news of his death caused
deep sadness over the community.
GAsTON.
Gastonia News, June 81: ]. B. F.
Riddle, of Begonia, was in town Tues
day. He says his crop this year must
be almost a failure. He will stand the
short crop better, however, than most
farmers. He has cotton and corn
enough on hand to run him two or three
years. Cotton is very small, and the
lands has been too wet to work, and 1t
is unthinned and grass is abundant.
Further down in York county, the far
mers have been still more hindered by
wet weather. Mrs. Dora Wallace,
aged %, died near ]. D. B. McLean's
Sunday, and was buried at Bethel Tues
day, Rev. w. B. Arrowood conducting
the funeral service. She was daugA-
ter of Jno. S. Meek, and leaves hus-
band and two small children, the
youngest Z weeks, old. 1.-THE sewer
case is still unsettled and no sewer
connections are being made! 1t was
thought several months ago that the
trouble was in fair way to be settled;
but it is far from being settled it seems.
The town succeeded in getting permis-
sion to cross Mr.. Eli Dixon's land, and
it was understood that Mr.. j. L.
Quinn would not object to their empty
ing on his land provided the sewerage
was emptied below his spring. 1t de-
veloped, however that the land of other
parties must be crossed before reach
ing that point, and the consent of these
parties has not been obtained. The re-
porter asked Mayor Love yesterday II
he knew what course would be pursued
and he said that he did not. 1t seems
that the town is slow in being able to
get an outlet for the sewerage on Ca
tawba creek-to the South Fork. 1t is
12 miles, and the expense of carrying
the sewerage to the river would be
great. The Southern Railway gets it's
water from Catawba creek, and the
Loray mill will depend on the creek
also for it's supply. These draughts on
it's water and then adding the sewerage
of the town, and probably in course
Of time the sewerage of the Loray, is
thought by some to be taxing the ca
pacity of the little creek too heavily.
To change the terminus Of the sewer
age pipes and empty into Long creek
seems the best way out Of the trouble.
The town, Of course, followed the in
structions of the engineer employed to
look after this work. If the sewerage
is emptied into Catawba creek there is
a part of the town that will not be able
to use the sewerage because of low
elevation. That part of town north and
be connected with the sewerage pipes.
| This includes the old mill, the Avon
MILL the Ozark mill and large per
cent. Of the population of the town.
What will be done under these condi-
| tions and what would be best to do, we
do not presume to say.
