YORK.
Rock Hill Herald, January 4: The
new year was ushered in by brilliant
marriage of great deal Of interest IN
this community, the contracting par
ties being Miss Willie Frances, second
daughter of Rev. DR.. and Mrs. H. w.
Bays, and the groom, Mr.. Blackburn
Wilson, eldest son of Hon. and Mrs. w.
B. Wilson, Of this city. The scene or
the marriage was st. Johns M. E.
church in this city, and in honor OF the
event the chancel had been decorated
with exquisite taste. Through the
kindness and thoughtfulness of Mrs.
Kohn, one of the efficient matrons at
Winthrop college, several packages or
fruits, etc., were donated by her last
week to the several smallpox patients
now in quarantine. With the SIN
cerest regret we announce the death OF
Mr.. R. M. McFadden, at his home near
Harmony on the first day Of the year.
His illness extended over a period OF
nine weeks and during that long time
he bore the affliction with remarkable
Christian fortitude. He was 49 years
of age and leaves surviving his wife,
four sons and four daughters. He was
a fine man and a good citizen and
neighbor. He was a member OF the
Harmony Baptist church and Thursday
after religious services, his remains
were inferred in the cemetery near that
church. :. Service began yesterday on
Free Delivery route, No. 1, Mr.. John
L. Starr having made his first trip. The
route Is Is miles in length and en-
braces a territory in which there are
more than a hundred white families to
be supplied; the population being about
600. The service begins with twelve
boxes of galvanized steel, eight inches
wide by twenty in length, and twelve
in depth. Each Is equipped with a Yale
lock, supplied with two keys. A signal
flag indicates to the rider whether or
not there Is mail within to be taken up.
The boxes cost $275 each, this sum to
be paid by the person for whose use
and convenience they are intended.
The twelve boxes received are located
near the homes Of the following per-
sons: B. F. Merritt, Mrs. Jane Huey,
IS. E. McFadden, Mr.. Hamilton, who
lives at the W. S. Adams place, ]. Il.
Williamson, S. C. Byers, J. F. Moore,
Jesse Moore, Charlie Allen, j. M. Nc
Ilwain. P. A. Workman and ]. j. Thom-
as. Application has been made for
other boxes and they will be located as
follows: Near the homes Of John Hef-
ner, Hiram Bookout, John Clounts, j.
H. Steele, J. J. Harrison on the R. Lee
Kerr farm, D. L. Black and w. D. Dun
lap. Later on still other applications
will be made for boxes. The route will
be very convenient to the people
of Bethesda, and they should pa
tronize 1t largely so as to assure Its
permanency. Letters intended for de-
livery on the rural free delivery routes
must bear a two-cent stamp. Mr..
D. G. Hayward was very agreeable
visitor to our city Thursday. BY in
vitation he was in Chester Tuesday
night to attend Pythian banquet and
Wednesday evening he came to Rock
Hill to spend day with his kinsman'
Mr.. A. c. lizard. and his family. Mr..
Heyward's candidacy for the governor
ship has been received with remarkable
enthusiasm wherever he Is known in
the state, and we'll it might be for he
is a man Of the highest character, OF
rare educational accomplishments,
strong in his convictions Of right and
with the courage to discharge his duty
under all circumstances, while his
views on all public matters are broad
and conservative. He made a most
pleasing impression on those of our cit
izens whom he met, and they feel ami
say that they are assured that Elinch
Hayward, the Colleton farmer, who
lives on the farm and by the farm, who
has never sought nor held public office,
would make an admirable chief eNecu-
tive. Mr.. Hayward left Rock Hill yes
terday morning for his home in Cole
ton, where the people are giving him a
most enthusiastic support. No man
could be more honored or more highly
esteemed by all classes and conditions
than he is in his home county, and
what better recommendation need one
have as to his personal excellence and
worthiness?
