WILL PAVE BUSINESS sLoCs.
chas. u. hlsyhew Closing Contract for NJ
Grade Of Work.

twill be matter Of general and more
than usual interest to the people Of Wal
halla to learn that contracts are being
closed for the paving of the sidewalk on
the south side of Main street, from
Spring street to Catharine, with hexagon
blocks. The work is to be done in first
class style and put in the most substan-
tial form. The City Council is to pay
half and the property owners bearing the
other half of the cost of laying the side
walks. Mr.. Mayhew hopes within a few
days to have the signatures of all the
property owners affixed to the agreement,
and the work will be begun at once.
The contract calls for 1S-inch hexagon
blocks, set in Portland cement, with
granite curbing 5x12 inches. The gene
raj style of the work will be identical to
that used on sections of Peachtree and
Whitehall streets in Atlanta. On the
eastern end of the section between
Spring and Catherine streets, where
there are two vacant lots, the ourbing
will be put in and the sidewalk made
substantial, but not in permanent form
like that in front of business houses.
The whole contract will call for between
$1,000 and $1,000. 1t is quite probable
that other parties owning property in the
business portion of the town will follow
with the same kind of work shortly
after the first contract is completed.
Mr.. Mayhem has worked diligently for
several weeks interesting the business
men and the members of Council in the
proposition and deserves the thanks of
all for pushing through an enterprise
that will be of great value to the town as
a shole. He is practical man and
knows the proper way to do work so as
to show up well and give the best results
for service. 1t is safe to say that when
the work is completed it will be worth
double its cost to the town as we'll as to
the property owners.
Walhalla is coming to the front, and
we are glad to note this the first real
step in street improvement. We hope to
see it followed by other and more extern
sive work both on the sidewalks and in
the streets. Every dollar we'll spent in
municipal improvements is worth 20 per
cent per year to- the town. The City
Council, tho business men and Mr.. May
hew are to be congratulated and COM
mended for this move forward. Let this
not be the end.

Greenville, September 17.--While on
his way to the Monaghan Mills yard en-
gine on the Charleston and Western
Carolina Railway at this place ran over
and killed William Henry Morgan and
Arthur Davis, two mill operatives on the
Swamp Rabbit Railroad, about three
hundred yards beyond the Southern Rail-
way, this morning. The engine, which
was in charge of Engineer Boarding, was
showing four cars from the depot out to
the Monaghan Mills. The cars were in
front, but Conductor Wilson, who was
in charge of the train, and several others
of the crew, were riding at the forward
end when the men were struck. Morgan
was employed by the Woodside Cotton
Mills and was about 10 years of age. He
was unmarried and leaves father, q sis
ter and several other relatives, who work
at the Monaghan Mill. Davis is said to
have been about 20 years of age. 1t
could not be learned tonight whether he
had any relatives here or not. He was
employed in the weave room of the
Monaghan Mills.
The bodies of both men were fearfully
mangled. Morgan was killed instantly,
the wheels of the forward car passing en-
tirely over the trunk of his body, sever
ing the lower part and the legs just at
the waist. Davis's skull was crushed
and ono of his legs and an arm were
smashed. He probably lived eight or
ten minutes. The mangled corpses wore
taken to Maokey's undertaking estab-
lishment, where they were prepared for
burial. The general supposition seems
failed to heed the approaching train.
