Rock Hill Herald, May 30: State
Constable ]. T. Thomasson and Chief
of Police Jenkins captured one GAL
lon jug of blind tiger whisky Wednes-
day afternoon. The "booze" was
found in the house Of John Moran,
colored, and had only been there
about twenty minutes before the Of
ficers made the seizure. Last week
while D. w. Davis was placing some
meat in the large refrigerator In his
store he accidentally embedded
large hook in the back Of one OF his
hands, making q very painful incis-
ion from which he suffered much
pain. The wound was at once dressed,
but a few days later blood poison set
in and he is now confined to his home.
The police force Of the city raid
ed the home Of Jack Knox Wednesday
night and secured ten pints OF corn
booze that he did not know was there.
Some other fellow had slipped into
his house all unbeknownst to him and
hid nine pints in hole in the wall,
then closed it up, and then hid an
other pint in Jacks bed room, and
Jack never found it out at all. The
police also captured in an clubhouse
about a wagon load Of jugs, demijohns
and bottles, which Jack says he had
Accumulated as jug and bottle agent.
Jack is a very innocent fellow, but he
was to have appeared before the may
or yesterday (Friday) afternoon to an
swer a charge of selling whisky and
another Of keeping and storing con-
traband whisky in violation Of an or
dinance Of the city Of Rock HILL. 800.

who has tried the sprinkling Of Irish
potato tops with cotton seed meal as
a remedy against the ravages Of the
potato bug, reports that it is effective
and complete. The meal must be put
on thick enough so as to give the
vines almost a golden color. The
fire department as, now organized, was
called out Wednesday on its first prac-
tice and made a fine record, running
from Kimbalrs stable to Mallard's cor
ner-about four squares-and throw
ing an effective stream, the time con-
sumed from the tap Of the bell to the
appearance of the water, being only
81 minutes, and then, too, about a half
minute was lost by the breaking Of a

Lantern, May 20: The estate Of
Captain William Dunnovant, who was
killed In Texas last year, has just
been appraised at $691,126.5O. There
are $500 acres in cane, 5000 in rice,

800. Captain John G. Wolling has
bought a large tract Of the DeGraf-
fenreid land at Leeds. We under
stand that he will erect handsome
dwelling and also an up-to-date store
building and will move there. Mr..
r. H. Woods died Wednesday night
from appendicitis. He has had at
tacks of the trouble before, but this
last one came on suddenly. The ply
sicians operated as soon as they could
on Monday, but found the appendix in
such condition that they had but lit
tie hope Of his recovery. The whole
community was shocked this morning
when it was announced that Mr.. Gran
Olson Williams was dead. He had
been a little unwell with pains pro-
nounced flying rheumatism. 1t had
been in his right shoulder and side.
It is supposed that this rheumatism
had struck his heart. He appeared
to have died in his sleep. He was
known to be alive between 4 and 5
o'clock this morning, and Mrs. Will
liams discovered that he was dead and
vices will be conducted by the Rev. G.
P. Watson at the Methodist church at
$50 this afternoon, and the Masons
will have charge Of the burial at Ever
geen cemetery. Mr.. Williams was
born in the Armenia neighborhood,
July 30, 1886. Having been given a
better educated than was common, he
taught for some years, and also read
medicine for awhile, which was inter-
rupted by the war. He volunteered at
the first call for troops and was a
faithful soldier throughout, being a
lieutenant of Co. I, 9Th regiment. Af-
ter the war he farmed until 1890 per-
haps, and was in charge Of one the
state farms for two wears we believe.
