Rock HILL, Dec. 6.-Mrs. Laura
Featherstone, about AZ years Of age,
and wife Of r. w. Featherstone OF
this city, died at her home in Oakland,
Saturday morning Of hemorrhage, af-
ter being Ill only about twenty-four
hours. Her death Is peculiarly sad
one as she leaves beside husband,
family Of eight children, the young
est Of whom is not yet two years old.
She was very much devoted to her
family and labored hard and uncom-
plainingly for their comfort and well
fare.
The deceased was, before her mar
riage, Miss Laura Culp, daughter OF
Col. and Mrs. John r. Culp. now re-
siding in Chester. She Is also sur
vived by three sisters and three broth
ers. They are: Mrs. Williamson, wife
of the Rev. Mr.. Williamson, pastor OF
the Presbyterian church Of Newber-
nv: Mrs. Nicholson Peay Of Fairfield
county; Mrs. Ford, wife Of Represen-
tative Ford of Fairfield county; Jno.
r. Culp, Jr., Of Virginia; Capt. F. w.
Culp, who was Rock Hills very eff
cient chief Of police several years ago.
and who Is now running as Pullman
conductor on the Southern railroad,
and Howard Culp, who left this coun-
ty some time ago on account OF Ill
health, and located near the Atlantic
coast, in one Of the New England
states. All Of these, except the latter
were present at the funeral services,
which were conducted yesterday
morning at II o'clock by Rev. w. E.
Thayer, from the Baptist church.
Kathaleen, the one-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Poag, died
Thursday night Of convulsions. FRI
day afternoon, funeral services were
conducted from the home by the Rev.
w. T. Duncan and the remains were
inferred in Laurelwood cemetery. The
little one was i'll only twelve or M
teen hours.
Mr.. John Roach, an employe Of the
Rock Hill Buggy company, while run
ming a. piece Of timber through the
sand rollers" Friday afternoon got
his right hand caught In the machine
and before 1t could be stopped his
hand was badly crushed and lacerated.
Several bones in the hand were brok-
en- and it will be some time before Mr.
Roach can use the wounded member
again.
The work of building a large addi-
ton to the Arcade cotton mill is about
completed and some Of the new ma
chinery has already arrived. The au-
thorities expect to have all the ma
chinery installed and ready for use
early in the new year. The delay IN
the commencement Of work on the
government building and the Carnegie
library is quite a disappointment to q
number of brickmasons and carpen-
ters of this city, who were expecting
to get good jobs on that work during
this fall and winter.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Fewell gave quite
a pleasant surprise party last night at
their elegant home In Oakland, in hon.
or of the nineteenth anniversary of the
birth of their son, Robert Fewell. The
proprietors and the employees OF the
Smith -Fewell Co.'S. store, In which
young Mr.. Fewell Is employed as as
sistant book-keeper, were invited, al
so a number of others. A sumptuous
supper was served, all the guests be-
ing seated at one large table, and one
and all spent a most delightful even
ing in this hospitable home. All VINO
participated in the pleasure OF the
evening were loud in their praise or
the generous hospitality Of their host
and hostess.
Mr.. Wistar Carter and Miss Kate
Strait were married last Wednesday
evening at the home Of the brides pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. ]. Strait, near
Smiths Turnout. Mr.. Carter Will
have charge Of Mr.. T. L. Johnson's
large plantation in the Smiths Turn
out section next year.
II the weather permits there will be
considerable wheat sown during this
month. A large farmer Of this section
remarked to the writer yesterday,
that he would like to see some fair
weather as he wanted to sow twenty
five bushels between now and Christ
mas.
There Is still some scattering cotton
to pick in the country, but majority
of the farmers Of this section have
finished picking cotton and gathering
other crops, and are now hauling
wood and making other prepara-
tions for Christmas and cold weather.
Some Of the local cotton buyers claim
that only about three-fourths Of the
crop has been marketed, but we hard
ly think that one-fourth Of the crop Is
still in the hands Of the producers In
this section as quite number OF far
mers have sold their entire crop and
others only have one or two bales to
the plow on hand. There has been
considerable run on this market dur
ing the past ten days. Some who stor-
er their cotton for better prices when
it was bringing 81 cents sold last week
after the market dropped down to 8
and 81 cents and are now vowing, as
they have often done before, that they
will never as long as they live, hold
cotton again.
Mr.. ]. c. Fudge and family, who
have been residing in the Santuc sec
ton have moved to this city. Mr..
