Kings Mountain special Of Septem-
ber 10 to Charlotte Observer: Jones
seminary, at All Healing, opened this
week with so boarding students. Sixty
seven young ladies had engaged board,
and it is hoped the attendance will
reach that many, If not more. With
the healthful location and the corps OF
teachers there Is no reason why the at

accommodation.
Fort MIIPs Sorrow.
Fort Mill special Of Thursday to the
Charlotte Observer: Out Of respect to
the memory of the late President Nc
Kinley, special services were held in
the Presbyterian church. The Masons
and knights of Pythias and the local
military company marched to the
church in full uniform. The business
houses were closed during service and
all the church bells in town were tolled.
The sad affliction was brought nearer
home and felt more than ever before
| by these demonstrations and a gloomy
feeling seemed to pervade everywhere.
An Author of Ability.

ton Lee, who came to Richmond In 1897
and was employed for some time as
hotel clerk and waiter on the repor-
torial staff Of the Evening State, has
recently written two books, Letters Of
Two" and Poems Of Passions" which
have been issued by the Abbey Press,
and highly complimented. Some critics
have gone so far as to say that the
work rivals that Of Edgar Allen Poe.

friends here who will be interested in
his success. -
Free Rural Delivery.
F. P. Boushee, special agent Of the
lpostoffice department, came to York
Vile Monday to consult with Congress
man Finley with reference to the pre-
liminaries looking to the establishment
Of certain free delivery routes that
have been petitioned for in this con-
lgressional district. Within the past
year, Congressman Finley has sent in
petitions for five routes-two in York,
two in Chesterfield, and one in Ker-
shaw. The department, however, Is
only just now sending its agent to make
preliminary surveys. One Of the pro-
posed York county routes Is in Fort
Mill township, and the other Is In
Bethesda. The Fort Mill route is to
include all that portion Of the township
north Of the Southern railway and
serve 1853 families. The Bethesda
route is to lead out from Rock Hill by
way Of Messrs. John Starr's, Lon
Moore's and Walnut Grove Spring,
serving about l25 families. Whether or
not the routes will be established, Of
course, will depend upon the report Of
the special agent.
A Railroad Rumor.
Yorkville correspondence of The
News and Courier: 1t Is said that for
sometime negotiations have been in

olina and Georgia Extension. looking
to the lease or purchase Of the latter
road by the former, and, although 1t
lacks official confirmation by either side
interested, there is a very plausible
story in circulation to the effect that
"a deal has been perfected, as result
Of which the Coast Line people will as

Carolina and Georgia Extension on Oc-
tober /. It is said that the new owners
will operate through trains, both
freight and passenger, between Charles
that the entire road will be improved to
an extent that will cause it to compare
favorably with the other lines owned
and operated by this great system, and
that the equipment will be second to
none. The report goes on to say that
it is the purpose Of the new manage
ment to operate double passenger trains
between Charleston and Marion. York
willie will be very we'll satisfied with one
train each way. The entrance Of the
Coast Line people into this territory
would be hailed with pleasure by the
people from Camden to Marion, because
