ledqer, June q: Mr.. Preston Nc
Manus an operative at the cotton mill
here, died Wednesday afternoon after
short illness Of appendicitis. He
worked in the mill up to Monday af-
ternoon prior to his death. He was a
son of the late VIM. McManus and
was about 19 years Of age. His re-
mains were inferred Thursday in the
town cemetery. Col. A. Trip or
Blacksburg, superintendent Of the
South Carolina and Georgia Extension
from Camden to Marion, has been
transferred to Jacksonville Fla, where
he will become superintendent Of ter
minals at Jacksonville. The transfer
takes place July 1. Colonel Trip has
been superintendent of the South Car
olina and Georgia Extension about ten
years.. .Messrs. H. w. and Berry
Mobley visited their brother, Mr. ]. G.
Mobley, at Jonesville, in this state,
this week. They attended the COM
mencement exercises Of the State In
stitute for the deaf, dumb and blind
and pronounce it marvellous what
these poor unfortunate children have
accomplished. They also visited the
f1ood-swept regions Of the Pacolet cot
wrought by the mad waters can hard
ly be conceived. We learn that the
man who committed suicide in this
county last week and who was known
here as S. H. Williams, prior to NOV
ing into this county, went by the name
of George Washington Williams. His
| widow thinks he has a brother living
in Chesterfield county or in North Car
olina, who may get information Of his
death by his former name being pub
lished.. q. . Ill luck and sad misfortunes
have befallen our generous, kind
hearted neighbor and friend, Mr.. j. A.
Hyatt. On last Friday night he had
the misfortune to lose by fire his saw
lumber His loss was about $500. On
Saturday he took his wife, who has
been i'll for sometime, to Rock Hill to
place her in the hospital there for
treatment. On Sunday one of his best
mules, which cost him SITS died. 1t is
often said "misfortunes do not come
SINGLE" and in Mr.. Hyatt's case they
more than double.
