......The Negro who stole DR.. Potts
horse and buggy in Spartanburg last
Friday night, and who was captured
here Saturday and sent back to Spar
tanburg, has had a hearing before
| Magistrate MCGOWAN, in that city, and
been bound over to court. He Is now
in Jail and will probably not take an
other buggy ride for long time. The
Spartanburg papers say that Bishop,
the real name Of the Negro, is man Of
bad reputation, notorious thief and
as desperate and vicious as he Is de-
praved. The thief had disposed Of the
medical case and surgical instruments
when he was captured but DR.. Potts
has succeeded in recovering some Of
them. ......Our enterprising sister city
across the Broad is not to be left be-
hind in the march of progress. The
knitting mill, which the progressive
citizens Of that city have had in view
for some time, Is now certainty. Ad-
ditional stock has been secured, work
on 1t will be begun very soon and it
will be rushed to completion. We are
reliably informed by gentleman from
Blacksburg that a cottonseed oil mill
and ginnery will also be erected at
that place in the near future. The pro-

Whisonant, A. H. Pollock, w. F. Dye
and j. G. Ross. We shall be pleased to
see these industries open up in Blacks
burg. The men who have them in hand
are all men Of push and energy and oc-
cupy a high station in the business
world, all Of which gives promise Of
success for the knitting mill and cot
tonseed oil mill. We truly hope that
portant enterprises, and that they both
may succeed far beyond the eXpecta-
tions Of their promoters. Mr.. David
Sherrer, a prominent resident Of
Blacksburg, died at his home at that
place last Friday after an illness Of
only q few days. Pneumonia was the
cause. Mr.. Sherrer was a carpenter
by trade, and was good workman, be-
ing thoroughly acquainted with all the
details of his business. He was an ex-
cellent man and good citizen, and his
character was above reproach. He WAS
an elder in the Presbyterian church,
and true disciple of his Master. His
remains were laid to rest in the ceme-
terry at Blacksburg, and the large NUN.
ber Of friends around the grave gave
evidence Of the high esteem in which
he was held. The sorrowing family
have the sympathy Of thu community
in which Mr.. Sherrer lived.
