Mobley Wednesday night on the Ches-
ter swing. Mr.. Jenkins learned that
Mobley had gone to Charlotte after
supply of spirits, but when the train
from Charlotte arrived in Rock Hill,
Mobley did not get off. Mr.. Jenkins
boarded the train and learned from the
conductor that Mobley had purchased
a ticket in Charlotte for Ogden. He
however, did not get off at that sta
ton and made several attempts to
throw the liquor out the window after
he found that Mr.. Jenkins was on the
train, but he did not succeed In doing
so. At Smiths Turnout Mobley LETT
the train and Mr.. Jenkins took charge
Of the whisky, taking 1t on to Chester
and returned to Rock Hill on the next
train. Mobley was arrested early yes
terday morning and will be given a
hearing later on the charge OF trans
porting contraband whisky In the
night time. ~
city yesterday was quite an enjoyable
and enthusiastic meeting. Delegates
from the four counties comprising the
Sixth District, arrived in the city We'd
nesday night, and on the early morn
ing trains Thursday. They were met
at the depot by the reception commit
tee and taken to the homes to which
they had been assigned. 1t goes with
out saying that the members OF oak
land Lodge knights Of Pythias did
themselves proud in caring for and en-
tertaining their distinguished guests.
The first session of the meeting was
held at II a. m. This meeting was
open to the public and was well at
tended. After an address Of welcome
by Rev. w. E. Thayer and response py
Mr.. J. w. Hamel Of Kershaw, there
were some interesting addresses by
other members Of the order. At o'clock
in the afternoon the order assembled
in business session, plans for the i'm
provement of the order and the further
advancement Of Pythianism being dis
cussed by the different members. The
last session was held at 8 p. m, at
which time the third degree was con-
ferred by Oakland lodge. After the
meeting adjourned the members re-
tired in a body to the spacious pariors
of McElwee's restaurant where a
sumptuous banquet was served them In
Mr.. McElwee's usual grand and pleas
ing style. The visitors were all de-
lighted with Rock Hill and the warm
reception accorded them.
The public library movement in Rock
Hill seems to have become some
what dormant. The matter has not
been abandoned however. The plan
finally settled on at the last meeting
was to erect a Carnegie library and
solicit aid from Mr.. Carnegie. That
gentlemen was written to In reference
to the matter some time ago by Sec
retary Wood Of the Commercial CLUB,
but as no reply has been received from
him, he evidently did not think so well
Of the movement and the promoters
will have to hit upon some other plan.
This they propose to do at an early
date and push the matter until the de-
sired end is accomplished.
In the absence Of President Johnson
from the city, nothing is doing In re-
gard to the Carnegie library to be
erected on Winthrop college campus.
I learn that the. plans will be altered
enlarged and improved upon so as 10
make the library building more In com.
formity with the other buildings, and
II is not likely that any move toward
erecting the building will be made be-
fore next spring.
A letter received yesterday by Secre-
tary R. B. Cunningham Of winthrop,
from President Johnson, stated that
the latter was now rapidly improving
and that he expected to return home
In short time, probably In two or
three weeks.
The advance agent Of the Great
Dreamland Carnival company was here
this week advertising the show and
all the little folks and most OF the big
folks are looking. forward with much
pleasure to the arrival of the Carnival
next week. o.
