YORK.
Rock Hill Herald, July * Miss Lois
Steele returned from Yorkville We'd
nesday afternoon. :. Mr.. ]. L. Adams,
who left here some time ago to cast his
lot in the Lone Star state, Is now at
Little Rock, Ark, where he is filling
the position Of bookkeeper for Charles
H. Ross, manufacturer of all kinds Of
light and heavy vehicles. Mr.. A.
+. Hutchison, Jr., and Mr.. T. c. Mar
shall are at home from the Citadel
Academy. In the competitive company
and individual drills, held last Saturday
afternoon, Company c, commanded by
Captain w. c. White, Of Rock Hill, and
Sergt. A. E. Hutchison, also Of ROCK
Hill won the prize. Last year Sergt.
T. G. Marshall, also Of Rock Hill, and
of the same company, won the indiVld-
ual premium. Sergt. Hutchison will be-
come captain Of company e the next
session.. Il Miss Kathleen, youngest
daughter Of the late J. Lawrence and
Mrs Nj. A. Moore, died at her home in
Union, Thursday afternoon, Of con-
sumption. Her body will be brought to
Rock Hill for interment. Young and
beautiful, full Of life and of joyous,
sunny disposition the news Of her death
will be received by her friends in this
county with heartfelt sorrow. I. DR..
w. Gill Wylie's large business interests
in Rock Hill and elsewhere in this state
bring him often to our city. He visited
the plant of the Catawba Power COM
pany Wednesday and is very much
gratified with the progress of the work
on the dam. Indeed, he says, greater
advancement has been made during the
past three months than since the work
was begun last summer. This Is due
largely to the favorable weather con-
ditions, the Golfer dam having been COW
cred but once since early spring, but 1t
is also attributable to the fact Of the
capability and energy Of the present su-
perintendent. Mr.. Wylie is still of the
opinion that the plant will be completed
so as to furnish power during the COM
ing winter. Contracts for power have
been made and signed with the mills In
Fort Mill; but not so with all the Rock
Hill mills. Several have delayed the
matter for reasons Of their own, but DR..
Wylie says that applications for power
have been made by other places to such
an extent that it is optional with his
company whether they bring it to Rock
Hill. The contracts made here are con-
ditional upon our mills taking in aggre-
gate a definite amount. If they do not
do so, it is not probable that Rock Hill
will be able to secure the benefits which
we ought to derive from the establish
ment of this great plant so near our
doors. The advantages of electrical
power, he says, are just beginning to be
appreciated and with the increased cost
of coal, which DR.. Wylie says, must
come very soon, this marvellous power
will be generally installed in cotton
mills wherever it may be possible. DR..
Wylie left Rock Hill for Charleston
Wednesday night, but he expected to
return yesterday.
