YORK.
Rock Hill Herald, October 30: Su-
perintendent John E. Carroll, Of York
VILE, was in the city yesterday con-
sulting with our teachers in regard to
the details Of the proposed county nor
NAL work. Mrs Will brennan, of
the Ogden neighborhood, died sudden
ly last Friday night, leaving an infant
only a few hours old. She was a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Oates.
She was young and woman whom all
her acquaintances esteemed highly.
Her death was a sad blow to her par
ents. Saturday evening her remains
were inferred in the Neely's Greek
graveyard, after services by Rev. OIL
yer Johnson. Will Walker, COL
ored tenant on the farm Of the late j.
C. Poag, was arrested on Monday
morning on a warrant sworn out by j.
H. brennan, charging him with burn
ing the house in which he was living In
order to hide the theft Of a lot Of seed
PiSSSN
therein. The house was burned last
Friday night. He was to have been
accorded a hearing yesterday; but up
to the hour Of closing the forms, the
preliminary had not been held. 1t was
believed that Walker had sold the cot
ton in Chester, and we understand that
persons who went there to Investigate
have secured evidence that will con-
vict him Of the crime. The Catawba
dam was the scene Of another shooting
affair Sunday. Josh Moody and Cal
Robinson, both tolored, were the prin-
cipals and both are nursing heads. AS
usual a woman was the cause Of the
affray. Moody knocked Robinson In
the head with a rock, an ugly scar be-
ing left just above one Of his ears
whereupon Robinson whipped out a
pistol and fired four times, one ball
taking effect just above Moody's left
ear, ranged forward, lodging in the
cheek. Moody came to town at once,
and DR.. ]. R. Miller extracted the ball
The wound is not very serious one
:. DR.. Miller also examined the wound
in Robinson's head. 1t Is not danger
GUS; but the blow was a severe one
The doctor does not think, however
that the skull is injured, though blood
has been oozing from that ear.
CHESTER.
Lantern, October 29: The Fourth
Quarterly conference for the Chester
circuit for 1901, will meet at Armenia
church on the 18th of November next
to wind up it's business for the pres
ent year. Every steward Of the charge
is expected to be present. DR.. Bays
will deliver lecture at II o'clock on a
subject which will amuse and interest
those who hear it. There will be pic
mic given by the community, and a
general invitation is hereby extended
to the people at large to be present
Fill your baskets and bring them with
you. -. -Four members Of CO. F, 9Th
regiment met on the street and held an
impromptu reunion yesterday. These
veterans were Messrs. w. H. Hardin,
]. H. Mcdaniel, w. J. Cornwell, and
r. B. Anderson. REV. j. r. Mlllen
was in town yesterday. He will go to
middle Tennessee, on an invitation to
preach, in advance Of the meeting OF
the synod. Senator Tillman is re-
ported to have said at Guthrie, Okla
homa: 1.-The action of President Roose-
welt in entertaining that niger will
necessitate our killing q thousand mig
gers in the South before they will learn
their place again." We wish Senator
Tillman would either stay at home or
quit saying fool things when he goes
abroad. There was no need for saying
such a thing If 1t had been true, and
we do not believe it is true. mr.
VIM. Dickey died yesterday and Will
be buried at Pleasant Grove today.
We have heard no particulars about
his death. He was living with his son.
Mr.. w. S. Dickey, near Blackstock'
He was one of the old men of the coun-
try He must have been above go. .....
L
Chester a few days ago on his way to
Chesterfield to look after the estab-
lishment of free delivery routes. BY
the way, Mr.. Finley says there is moth
ing to hinder our getting free delivery
in this county, If it is desired, and he
would be glad to give attention to the
securing Of this accommodation. In
this connection we may say that 1t is
proposed now to get free delivery
route out through the Armenia and
Carriers neighborhoods instead Of the
new postoffices spoken of recently.
LANCASTER.
Ledger, October 30: Jane Stacks. a
colored woman of the Tabernacle Sec
ton, was bitten by spider last Fri
day evening and became very sick.
Her condition does not seem to have
been regarded serious as we under
stand no physician was summoned;
but the following night, Saturday, she
died. ....A tenant house on Mr.. r. S.
Flodys place, near Kershaw, occupied
by Mr.. T. L. Johnson, was burned
about o'clock last Sunday morning.
Mr.. Johnson and his family lost all
their household goods and even to their
wearing apparel. By hard work Mr..
Johnson saved his barn and stable.
The origin of the fire is difficult to ac-
count for unless sparks got into the
loft from a defective flue or else rats
had carried matches off and struck
them. With the exception Of the
two front towers. the brick work on the
new cotton mill is about completed.
Mr.. Burton, the representative of the
