A Private Postoffice.

to solve the mail problem for the mill

II Was a Mistake.
Lancaster Review: THE YoRKvILLE
ENQUIRER, in recent issue, stated
that Hazel Cunningham, one Of the
Lancaster boys in the Fishing creek
wreck, was offered, by law agents of
the Southern railroad, 500, in settle
ment of his claim for damages, but his
father would allow him to accept only
$25.-The father, Mr.. w. ]. Cunning
ham, informs us that THE ENQUIRER
is mistaken. He says the railroad
company's representatives made no Of
fer at all. They simply asked him to
estimate the damage, which he did,
placing the amount at $25, which sum
the railroad men promptly paid him.
Wants a Hunting Park.
Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday,: Our
townsman, w. J. Roddey, is the agita-
tor Of a movement to lease the lands
Of the Catawba Power company lying
along the Catawba river on both sides
for ten or twelve miles up the stream,
embracing perhaps 10000 acres, and
convert this immense area into a hunt
ing park, with lodges here and there
throughout the park, with a game
keeper who will live on the estate and
propagate large and small game, birds
and fish. The idea Is to make the park
a veritable sportsman's paradise, un-
excelled for it's adaptability to the pur-
poses for which it is intended and Of
easy reach for the club that will have
control. DR.. Gill Wylie and his BROTH
er Robert, with several other north
ern gentlemen as we'll as several in
Charlotte and Rock Hill will be share
holders and their intention, as we un-
derstand is to make the park one Of
the most attractive in the south.
