Rock Hill Herald, June 10: Rev. j
@. Adams, Of Reidsville, N. c., former
pastor Of the Rock Hill Baptist church
spent yesterday in the city, guest
at the home of Mayor Waters. Many
of our readers may not have heard OF
the marriage Of Mr.. Adams, which
occurred at Asheville, N. c., about
three months ago, his bride being Miss
Leslie Peasants, of that city. A pho
tograph in his possession shows that
Mr.. Adams married a very beautiful
lady, and one worthy Of an elegant
gentleman such as is the groom.
Walker Coleman, colored, of Rock
Hill, while working on a long distance
telephone line in Pickens county, re-
Gently had $65 stolen from him. Mich
Harris, also of Rock Hill, left the camp
that night and went to Charlotte and
thence to this city. He was at once
suspected of the theft, and was ar
rested under warrant; but there was
no evidence looking to his guilt and
he was discharged. His mothers house
was searched by Chief Partlow, who
was deputized for that purpose, and he
ran into what appeared to be a tigers
den, inasmuch as he found in trunks
two quarts and two pints Of liquor,
while a number of bottles were scat
tered around the place. He captured
the booze The statement in the
last issue of the Rock Hill Herald
that Supervisor Gordon had given
the Spratt Machine company con-
tract to rebuild the approaches to
the Catawba river bridge for $500 was
an error as to amount. The article
was clipped from the Fort Mill Times,
and the amount as stated in that pa
per was $50, which was correct.
Mr.. Cad Lee is quite sick at his home
on Wilson street. The bridge over
Taylor's creek at the Waters hill has
! been raised about two feet at either
end so as to allow Of the raising of the
road approaching from the west being
raised about the same height.
CHESTER.
Lantern, June IS: Johnson Clark,
perhaps IS years old, has been under
arrest two or three days for violating
the law which makes it a punishable
offense for man over IA to marry a
girl under 16 without the consent of
her parents. He formerly worked at
Mr.. E. c. Starnes,' in the Wilksburg
neighborhood, we believe; but has been
more recently about the cotton mills.
On the night of May 3Oth, he went to
Mr.. Starnes', got his daughter, aged
13, and brought her to town where
they were married by the Rev. H. L.
Gedeist. Mr.. Starnes followed and
took his daughter back home. We un-
derstand that the matter has been
settled and the prosecution dropped;
but it is necessary to have the consent
Of the solicitor, now at Gaffney, to
make the arrangement legal. 80. Sunday
afternoon, lightning struck the house
of Mr.. w. I. McKeown, of Cornwell,
demolished the telephone, tore off a
window facing, stunned Mrs. Nc
Keown, who was by the window, and
killed a dog farther off. Mr.. c. L..
Dunlap had stopped at Mr.. S. T. Nc
Keown's gate, near the same place.
i Mr.. Dunlap and one of his children
had got out, when the horses started
by the clap of thunder, made a dash.
One of the singletrees broke, the
breast strap came off the tongue,
which dropped down and ran into the
ground. Though the tongue broke, the
carriage was suddenly stopped and
Mrs. Dunlap, her sister, Miss Chapella
Howe, her son Willie and another
child or two perhaps tumbled to the
ground. None were seriously hurt,
though Mrs. Dunlap was somewhat in
jured and Willie quite severely bruis-
de. The horses stopped after breaking
| loose from the carriage. Mr.. Adol-
phus E. Carroll died at his home in
the Armenia neighborhood, last Tues
dav the 18th. The remains were
hurled at Armenia on Wednesday, the
Rev MIR. Atkins conducting the funeral
service. He was II years old, and MS
health had been failing for some time;
but he was somewhat paralyzed anu
death came rather suddenly at last.
He seemed to have presentimeIt
that he would die in this way, and was
always careful, when leaving nome, 10
tell the family where he was gong.
On Tuesday morning. when startlng
IN the pasture, he told them that II ne
was gone longer than usual tney
would better look after him. MRS.
Carroll, thinking he was rather taroy
| i'm returning, started to see If anything
was wrong. She met him coming; but
he remarked that it was his last trip;
After he got to the house and rested
sometime he went out into the yard;
but was unable to get back alone.
He leaves two sons living-Mr. j. L..
| Carroll, of this place, and Mr. Mllas
| Carroll. of Yorkville. Mr.. Carroll was

sistent member Of the Presbyterian
