YORK.
Rock Hill Herald, October II: Owing
] to the crowded condition Of the graded
school rooms in which the fifth and
sixth grades are taught, a committee
from the board of trustees visited the
school Thursday and decided to remove
the partition and devote both rooms to
the fifth grade. A room for the sixth
grade will be obtained by taking that
much from the auditorium up stairs.
The auditorium will be very consider
able reduced thereby; so much so, in
deed, as to render it impracticable for
for chapel exercises. These exercises
will therefore hereafter be held in each
room under the direction Of the respec-
tive teachers. 1t Is apparent that the
time is at hand when some very need
full additions must be made to the
school buildings, else in a few more
years many children must be turned
away on account Of lack Of room.
Mr.. Mike Dufie, a venerable son Of the
Emerald Isle, but for many years pa
triotic citizen Of York county, and at
present the postmaster at Smiths, was
very painfully hurt Wednesday while
in this city. He is subject to vertigo,
and while walking along the rock pave
ment on Main street. he suddenly fell
forward, his face striking the rock. A
severe cash was cut under his right
I'eye, rendering him insensible for mo-
ment. He was carried into the store
Of the Rock Hill Drug Co., where the
wound was treated by DR.. Stevens.
Mr.. Duffie is a fine old gentleman and
in a few minutes number Of friends
had gathered around him, ready and
willing to do anything in their power
for the old mans comfort and relief.
He was feeling better in the afternoon
and returned home... On October 11th,
1900, Rev. J. Barr Harris laid the first
brick for the Manchester M. E. church,
South, at the Manchester mill. Yester-
day, October 18th, Mr.. Harris reported
the church completed and almost free
Of debt. The church property there
now is worth $4,000 and almost all of
this sum has been paid by the men,
bers Of the Manchester church and 9TH
er operatives of the Manchester Mill.
Mr.. Harris assumed the whole of this
debt and has been able to raise all or
it except few hundred dollars. On
ly SIPS of the remaining amount Is to
be paid this year, and earnest efforts
are being made by the pastor and the
members Of the church to get that sum.
The church was organized with 4O
members, but now the membership
numbers near 200. The church build
ing Is an ornament to the town and q
noble attestation to the liberality OF the
people of the Manchester Mill. Mr..
Harris will leave on next Tuesday, Oc-
tober 18th, for his new field Of labor,
in Boziman, Montana, and he and his
congregation will appreciate any assist
ance which may be given to Iiqnidate
this Indebtedness before he leaves.
