Rock Hill Herald, June %: Misses
Beulah and Bessie Barron entertained
a few friends Wednesday evening. In
honor of their charming visitor, Miss
Amelia Tompkins, Of Ninety-Six, S. c.
Those present were Miss Orrie Steele.
Messrs. Hayward Moore, Jim Beckham,
Theodore Moore, Lloyd Phillips and Ru-
fus London. DR.. c. NJ. Kuykendal
has removed his family from Yorkville
to Rock Hill. They are now occupying
the Boulware residence near the graded
school. Mrs. A. M. Black, who has
been visiting her daughter, Mrs. w. 5.
Creighton, returned to Tirzah Thurs
day afternoon. The revival meetlng
which has been conducted in the Lau-
rel Street Methodist church by Rev.
Thomas Leitch, assisted by Mr.. F. A.
Marshall, came to a close TUESDAY
night. The services were largely at
tended and it is said that much good
was accomplished. Rev. Mr.. Leitch
and Mr.. Marshall will go to st. Louis
in a few days, at which place they VIII
also hold a revival meeting. When
the fire bell is sounded 1t Is a. well
known fact that many of the people on
the streets at the time rush to the mid
die of the road to see the horses at
tached to the reel wagon run, little real
izing the danger in which they are
placing themselves. Chief Frew states
that he would like for the people to stay
on the sidewalks; that when they get IN
the middle Of the road they are liable TO
be run over. The driver is as care1ui
as possible, but he has other obstacles
to watch and avoid besides the people
who congregate unnecessarily in the
road. If this request is needed there Is
no probability Of any one ever being
run over by the wagon. If the present
custom, however, is continued, death
may come some day.

Schultz, J. A. Wylie.. The Texas 1e-
yer is prevalent among the cattle all
over the county. Mr.. Jimmie Reid. OF
Lewisvile, has lost two cows this week.
There are several cows sick with the
disease about Rossville... Through
Mr.. Jos. A. Walker, Hirschberg, Hol-
lander & Co.. of Baltimore, Nd, have
presented the Centennial church of the
Associate Reformed synod at Columbia
with enough of paints to paint the
new church building. This act on
the part of this company will be ap-
preciated. OF course it was the efforts
of Mr.. Walker that induced them to
make the gift. The majority OF
candidates for state offices this summer
seem to favor the exclusion of child la
Dor in cotton mills, as well as the plat
form of the state Democratic conVen-
ton demands. This question of child
labor Is a serious question. If all chill
dren under the ages of II years are pro-
hibited by law from working In he
mills, what is to be done with the chill
dren? If children are kept out of the
mills there must be provision made to
compel them to go to school, If they go
to school at all. Among the mill peo-
pie there are some Of the best people In
the world; but for a general thing they
are not in favor of keeping their chill
dren in school, or as a matter of fact,
they do not keep them in school when
an opportunity is afforded. We are in
formed that the school which has re-
Gently closed at the Eureka mill had as
an instructor, one thoroughly capable
one who was painstaking in her efforts
to instruct those under her care, and
one who was admired and respected as
few teachers are by the children. Thus
afforded the very best opportunity inn
aginable. at least 80 to so pupils should
have been in attendance, but on the
closing day the total number present
was nine. Many children who were not
employed in the mill did not attend this
school, and some who did attend did not
attend regularly.
