Rock Hill Herald, March 4: There
appears to be no doubt now that Sec
ond bank will be organized in ROCK
Hill within the next sixty days. The
mattey has been under agitation for
several months. but last week. 1t took
such shape as to warrant the Herald
in saying now that the proposition has
met with such encouragement as to
make it's coming reasonably certain. 1t
is understood that Mr.. r. T. Fewel of
this city will be president, and with
him will be associated as, stockholders
and directors a number Of our young
business men as we'll as capitalists IN
other cities. The amount Of capital
stock has not yet been determined,
though 1t Is possible that charter Will
be obtained for an institution with not
less than $4,000, possibly $4,000. Mr..
Fewell has long been recognized as one
of our best business men and is well
equipped for the position to which 1t is
expected he will be elected. There has
never lived in our city more public
spirited man and as he Is deeply inter-
ested in the community the new bank,
under his management, will be helper
of every worthy person or enterprise.
It will not antagonize its competitor
now in the field, however, but It Is un-
derstood that it will work in friendli-
ness and harmony with that very excel
lent institution and pulling together
without friction they will be a power
for good in this city and community. e.
Chief Of Police Jenkins received a long
distance phone message from Concord,
N. c., Saturday night telling him to
be on the watch and arrest a young
man and lady who were passengers on
the southbound train and who were to
be married in Rock Hill that night.
The message came too late, however,
for the train had departed before the
officer reached the depot. The couple
in question must have been apprised of
the communication with Rock HilPs
policeman for they did not stop here
to have the matrimonial knot tied....
Mrs. Blanche May Duff has been elect
hospital and she Is now moving into
that institution. She will fill the posi-
ton well and worthily and her selection
for the place Is a good step on the part
Of the association. The hospital Will be
open for the reception Of patients next
week. DR.. J. r. Miller has sent IN
his resignation as q member OF the city
board Of health and it has been accept
ed. The board has recommended that
the vacancy be filled by the election OF
DR.. A. S. Lynn. 1t has also recon-
mended the election Of Mr.. J. R Barron
to fill the vacancy on the board occa-
stoned by the death Of Major A. H.
White. DR.. Miller was a faithful and
valuable member, and he quits the
board only because Of the exactions OF
his profession and the added labors i'm
posed by his election to the presidency
Of the Rock Hill Private hospital......
Mr.. H. c. Simpson, the well-known
apiarian at Catawba Junction, was In
town Monday. Mr.. Simpson has been
in the bee business since 1880 and has
had a great deal Of experience in that
very interesting industry. He related
as a peculiar circumstance the fact
that last year he took from his l54
hives an average of eleven pounds from
the stands, while the year before the
average was twenty-nine pounds, and
in 1900 the average was forty-five
pounds. Last year was the lowest yield
In ten, though not as small as he has
known. The yield one season num-
ber of years ago was only four POUNDS
to the hive, while in another year ne
has received a return Of as much as
an average Of sixty. Mr.. Simpson
thinks the conditions in the winter has
much to do with the yield Of honey
he believes that a winter with long
continued rains will affect vegetation
so as to warrant a rich supply, and q
dry winter the reverse effect. Though
the weather conditions at time Of flow
of nectar has the greater influence,
provided the winter weather has been
favorable. Mr.. Simpson sells nine
tenths of his honey in Rock Hill. His
greatest return was in 1900, when he
received 1000 pounds, and that was
nearly all sold in Rock Hill at. an av-
erage Of about LII cents per pound.
He is an enthusiast on the subject Of
bee culture and in this country is an
authority on the subject.
