| Rock HILL, Jan. 6.-The electric
light company has recently installed
some new and more powerful machin-
cry, which has added greatly to the
effectiveness. The light now supplied
is electric" in reality and brilliant IN
operation, while its quality Is unsur-
passed. It is a most satisfactory light
and gives genuine satisfaction.
The city was stirred socially to Its
very center last Tuesday evening by
the romantic .elopement of Mr.. PRIDE
Ratteree and Miss Sadie Friedheim.
Rumors had been floating around In
definitely, but these young people had
guarded their secret we'll, and the de-
nouement created quite mild sensa-
ton. The story goes the round that
the bridegroom called in the services
of the Rev. Waddy Duncan, the Meth
odist minister, in the most laconic
ner-characteristic Of him, Tell
that preacher-man I will have some
business with him Immediately" and
forthwith he had. 1t appears that the
expected was quite unexpected after
all and especially so it's romantic con-
summation. The happy couple IS
domiciled with Mr.. and Mrs. J.. Ed
Reid on Hampton street. Miss Fried
helm is a ovely and estimable young
| lady, with hosts of friends and Mr..
Ratterree is bright, vivacious young
fellow who is deservedly popular:
A charming supper was rendered the
bridal couple last Wednesday night ny
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Friedheim.
Apropos Of this wedding season the
following notice will be read with
much interest by the many friends or
the apparently confirmed old bachelor,
Mr.. Sam Freidheim: "Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Sternau request the honor OF
your presence at the marriage Of their
daughter, Sophie to Mr.. Samuel Fried
helm, on Monday, Jan. rs, 1904, at one
o'clock, Moseback's Drawing Rooms;
1043 North Broad street. Philadelphia"
Mr.. Friedheim is being Handsomely
cpngrat ulated on his determination TO
assume the role Of Benedict.
Rev. ]. Barr Harris, in whose behalf
petition for pardon from his in
carceration in Montana prison,
had awakened the sympathies OF
Rock Hillians, has replied through
the columns of the Herald that
he will not accept his release ex-
cept conditionally. He still main
tains his innocence and insists that the
"lady" in question must eXonerate him
of any criminality before he can accept
any favors.
The showing of the National Union
Bank Of Rock Hill, as exhibited In
published statements in the local press,
Is simply magnificent and calls elo-
quent attention to the volume Of bus
mess transacted in this city. Its i'm
disputable motto Absolutely safe" Is
no empty boast either, as is demon
strated in every particular.
The Catawba Power company Will
soo,r be in a position to begin opera
tiOns. 1t has been extensively patron
lied by local industries, and it will
have no difficulty in disposing Of all its
power. That this company means a
great deal to the city is undeniable,
and a great impetus will be given to
the commercial activities Of this place.
Colonel Pride, while still confined to
his bed and feeling very feeble, is hold
ing his own fairly we'll. He was heart
ilv congratulated on the New Years
admission.
