YORK.
Rock Hill Herald, January 29: There
will be general regret among our read
ers that DR.. S. A. Wideman, OF Lesslle,
has decided to leave and go to Wood
ruff, in Spartanburg county. He Is
good physician, an elegant gentleman
and his removal will be a decided loss
to the county. Representative Halle
has in contemplation a bill which he
may offer which will revolutionize the
method of notifying jurors Of their
having been drawn to serve as such.
His bill will provide that notice shall
be sent through the mails, probably by
registered letter, and the juror will be
required, under penalty, to acknowledge
receipt Of service. The present method
of extending notification Is unnecessar-
lily expensive, and Mr.. Halle thinks that
the change in the law which he may
propose will effect large saving in all
the counties in the state. ..Whiie In
Columbia, Saturday, we learned that
the York county delegation will proba-
bly, introduce a joint resolution requir-
ing the state to pay Mr.. Frank Massey,
of Tirzah, the value of the five mules
whose disease last year was diagnosed
as glanders and were killed by order Of
the state. The resolution will also pro-
vide for payment for several other
animals said to have had the same dis
ease that were likewise killed by the
states order. Payment Of these claims
would be only an act of justice. The
citizens should not be required for the
so-called public safety to lose as large
ly as Mr.. Massey has without being
compensated by the public. ..Mr. X.
T. Fewell has been sufferer for sew
eral years from what was believed to
be indigestion, but recent diagnosis dis
closed the fact that he was suffering
with appendicitis, and on Sunday last
DR.. Gill Wylie, Of New York, happening
to be in the city, removed the appendix,
it's condition showing that the operation
was timely and very necessary one.
Mr.. Fewell stood the operation we'll and
his condition is very satisfactory.
Mr.. A. L. Lineberger, who had such a
sad experience on account of typhoid
fever in his family, will remove today
to Bethany, in Kings Mountain town.
ship. His family is now free from sick
ness. Four of his children have been
in Gastonia for two weeks. Mr.. Line
berger desires The Herald to say for
him that he is thankful to the people
of the neighborhood for their exceed
ing great kindness and to those per-
sons in other communities who remem-
bered him and his little ones In the
time of their adversely and sorrow.
Every kindness will be cherished In
memory. He desires to extend special
thanks to DR.. J. E. Massey, Jr., for his
faithfulness for six months and the In
terest that he manifested in his mis-
fortunes. .. AT the session Of the Pee
Dee presbytery held in Darlington last
last Friday, the resolution adopted by
the Cheraw Presbyterian church ask
ing the Presbytery to decline to dis
solve the pastoral relations existing be-
tween the Cheraw church and its pas
tor, the Rev. A. H. McArn, he having
received and accepted call from the
First Presbyterian church, Of Rock
Hill. Major A. H. White represented
the Rock Hill church and DR.. ]. A.
James, with Messrs. r. M. Mckay and
T. Stobo Farrow, were present to pre-
sent the request Of the Cheraw church.
After hearing Mr.. McArn's statement,
in which he said that since the action
taken by his church he had been led to
believe he had made mistake in ac-
cepting the call to Rock Hill, and hav-
ing changed his mind his preference
was to retain his pastorate at Cheraw,
the presbytery adopted resolution de-
clining to dissolve the pastoral relation.
Mr.. McArn will therefore remain at
Cheraw. The York delegation has
not definitely decided that it will vote
for the bill to merge the S. c. & Ga. Elk.
road into the Southern by allowing the
latter to purchase the former; but with
the present lights before them several
will support the measure as one which
it is claimed will be Of advantage to the
public as we'll as the S. c. & Ga. Elk.
The delegation understands that the
Southern's ownership of the road will
add at least $3.50, 900 to the taxable value
of the property of the county. Each
member will look into the question
carefully before casting his vote for It.
