Dali AT o1,OVV.
Mr.. w. -R. Bradford, who recently
killed a Ncsro desperate in Fort Mill,
surrendr:set to Sheriff Logan at Rock
Hill and was taken by the sheriff before
Judge Gage, at Chester. The judge
granted bond in the sum Of $1,000, and
the necessary security was furnished
without difficulty.
The Wheat Crop.
Inquiries as to the condition of the
wheat crop at this time, fail to devel-
op any striking information on the
the farmers report more or less in
jury on account Of frost: but none Of
them seem to think they have been Sc
riously hurt. 1t is fair to assume that
the general condition Of wheat is about
as could as could be expected at this
season of the year.
Price of Beef Cattle.
On account Of a scarcity in the sup
ply there is steady advance in the
price of beef cattle throughout the
country. The price, of course. is con-
trolled principally by the large mar
kets like Charlotte, Charleston, Column
bia, Augusta and Savannah. When
these cities began to reach out for beef,
local prices rise steadily. The large
markets are now paying slightly more
than they were a few weeks back.
On the Chester Road.
Mr.. Lewis G. Grist, of Yorkville, Is
promoting an undertaking to improve
the condition of the Chester road for
a mile or two out Of Yorkville. He has
had the matter in hand for some weeks,
and is soliciting subscriptions paya-
BILE in either work or cash during next
summer. Up to this time he has sue
ceeded in raising more than $780, and
Is still getting along nicely. The road
under consideration is quite level; but
very muddy. 1t will not require a
breat deal Of grading, and should be
put in excellent condition at compar-
atively small cost.
phe County commissioners.
4 The county board Of commissioners
held an adjourned session in the office
of the supervisor on Wednesday. The
board was unable to complete all the
business before it at the regular month
ly meeting because of numerous inter-
ruptions, and because of the volume
Of accounts awaiting consideration.
The meeting on Wednesday was called
on short notice, and there was but lit
tie interference with the ordinary rou-
tine. Quite a large number of ac-
counts received consideration, and the
board completed it's permanent organi-
zation by electing ]. S. Brice as attor-
ney and Miss Mary ]. Hunter as clerk.
Pax Returns.
TIE books of the county auditor
were closed last Wednesday, the day
ing returns without penalty. The re-
turns were, as usual, taken close up
Auditor Boyce had completed much OF
the work before the expiration of his
term, and Mr.. Williams took between
1000 and 1000 during the last days. AT
this time the auditors office is busy
getting the papers in shape for exam
ination by the township boards of as
SCISSORS, who meet on the second Tues
day in next month. 1t is not practi-
cable to give the total number of re-
turns tLat have been made; but it is
pretty close in the neighborhood OF
10000.
>Tresile Burned.
EbT trestle of the Carolina anC
Nertb- Western railroad, over Crowd
srs creek was burned last Wednesda!
afternoon. 1t is thought that a tirt
originated from spark dropped by
the southbound passenger train. Any
how, high wind was blowing and ;
gap of some 40 feet in width was burn
ed out before the fire was gotten unde
control. A force of hands was put t
work at once repairing the damage
and by using material that had alread.
