Rock Hill Herald, January %: A Mr..
Farrell, an employee of the Highland
Park MILL while at work in the dye
house yesterday, was very seriously
scalded by the boiling over Of one of
the large dye tubs. The skin was
scalded off one side Of his body and
he suffered great pain. DR.. Crawford
was at once called and rendered all the
relief possible. w. N. Ashe, proprie-
tor of the Rock Hill Brick works, lost
very valuable horse a few days ago
from blind staggers. Mrs. Cynthia
Bynum, widow of the late James By
mum, died at her home near Winthrop
college last Saturday morning, aged SO
years. Sunday afternoon her remains
were inferred in Laurelwood cemetery
after services by Rev. Walter L. Lin
gle. The pail bearers were Messrs. B.
F. Rawlinson, w. S. Moore, w. l..
Starr, w. G. Steele, J. J. Hagins, L.
M. Davis. Mrs. Bynum was the oldest
native born citizen Of Rock HILL and
her home has always been here. She
was raised in the old ]. Lawrence
Moore house, now occupied by Mr.. De-
vinney near the old J. M. Ivy resi-
dence. She was the mother Of five
children, viz: Mrs. S. D. Barron, Mrs.
D. l.. Black, ]. Sumpter Bynum, Miss
Sophia Bynum and Mrs. c. B. Belts
Sumpter Bynum and Mrs. Belts are
dead. Three Of Mrs. Bynum's broth
ers survive, viz: DR.. A. A. Moore, Of
Camden, Capt E. P. Moore, Of Ches-
ter and Mr. w. A. Moore, Of Camden.
The consecrated life Of Mrs. Bynum
was a benediction to her children. She
was ever the queen Of her home, mod
esty, gentleness, kindliness and loving
devotion to her family, being charac-
teristic of her long life. She goes down
to an honored grave, lamented by fam
lily, neighbors and all friends who
knew her. The Spartanburg Herald
says: 1.-THE Frank Davidson company
appeared last night to large audience,
and without a doubt the most delight
ed one that has ever assembled in
Spartanburg." The house resolu-
ton which passed the senate Of the
United States last Thursday, authoriz-
ing the holding Of a term Of United
States circuit court in Rock Hill each
year, gave much satisfaction to our
citizens. It's provisions were not
known as we'll as they are now, how
ever. The Greenville News says: "The
bill was prepared and introduced by
Congressman Johnson, and it is said
that he will accompany it to the White
House for the signature Of President
Roosevelt. The place for holding the
courts will have to be provided for by
the next congress. The original bill Of
Congressman Johnson, it will be re-
membered, provided for a separate and
distinct judge for this, the western dis
trict Of the United States court, and it
was expected to make Greenville the
headquarters for the district, instead
Of Charleston, as Is now the case. The
committee, however, to whom the bill
was submitted at the last congress,
did not favor Mr.. Johnson's bill in its
original form. The second bill prepar-
ed was the one adopted. The United
States court will continue to be held
in Greenville as formerly. The only
effect the bill will have upon the pres
ent status of affairs in Greenville will
be to reduce the amount of business to
be transacted. It is believed by those
who are in position to know that the
work provided for by the new bill will
be too much for one Judge; that ulti-
mately a separate judge will be pro-
vided to hold courts in Greenville
Spartanburg and Rock Hill, with
Greenville as the headquarters, as was
intended by Johnson's first bill" By
request, Senator Tillman has sent q
copy of the act which passed the SEN
ate last Thursday. 1t Is as follows:
"An act providing for additional terms
Of court in the western judicial district
Of the state of South Carolina: Be 1t
enacted by the senate and house OF
representatives Of the United States
Of America assembled, that a term OF
the circuit and district court Of the
United States shall be held in the west
ern judicial district Of South Carolina.
at the city Of Spartanburg, on the first
Tuesday Of February and at the city of
Rock Hill the third Tuesday Of Sep
tember in each year, and the judges,
marshal, and clerk shall attend said
terms: Provided, That the county and
city of Spartanburg and the county OF
York and the city Of Rock Hill shall
furnish respectively places for holding
Of said terms Of court without cost to
the United States"
LANCASTER.
Ledger, January %: Rt. Rev. ELL
son Capers, bishop Of the South Caro-
lima diocese, made his annual vista
tion to Christ church at this place last
Friday. His sermon, preached that
evening, was very able and was highly

The bishop. while here, was the guest

face, one entering one of his eyes, but
only one shot struck Starnes, inflicting
a wound in his head. DR.. Poovey Is
