Rock HILL, Nov. 7.-Saturday af-
ternoon, rather late, quite commotion
was heard on Main street and every
body rushed to his door to see what 1t
was all about. The sight which met his
eye was good to see. Twenty wagons,
loaded with ten cent cotton, each car
rying five bales and drawn by two well
conditioned mules driven by a greasy
negro shouting at the top OF his voice
rolled down the street two abreast.
This was from the plantation Of Mr..
r. c. Ratteree and had been bought
staple had been coming in briskly all
day under the Impetus Of 103 cents
market but this was the biggest lot
brought. One Of the teams was
beautifully matched pair Of magnif-
cent black mules bought from Mr.. 5.

The funeral services Of little Sarah
Kimball, the seven-year-old daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. S. ]. Kimbal, VINO
died at o'clock Saturday morning,
were held at the family residence
were conducted by the Rev. w. L. Lin
gle of the Presbyterian church. 1t was
one Of the largest funerals ever seen
in this city and the floral offerings
were magnificent. Following the pail
bearers was q large kindergarten wag-
on filed with little playmates OF the
deceased bearing flowers which they
deposited on her grave. The little one
was one of the most popular children
in the city and everyone mourns Win
the stricken parents and brothers.
Her death was peculiarly SAD ana un-
expected. Her father, the well known
horseman, had gone to the western
markets several days ago leaving the
child only slightly indisposed. He was
communicated with and came home
as fast as possible, making the trip
from Charlotte to Rock Hill on
special train and arriving FIVE hours
after she had died. The brothers were
at Wofford college. Death was from
heart failure after an attack OF diph-
iberia, and when she was Thought 10
be much better, having only rev
moments before been sitting up In bed
eating breakfast and laughing In her
usual happy way.
Mr.. John G. Anderson went down to
Winnsboro to look at some fine cows
for the dairy farm which he and Mr..
]. M. Cherry will conduct. It will be
remembered that they have bought the
Rock Hill dairy, hitherto run by DR..
T. R. Carothers, and will restock and
improve it.

present 1.-The Player Maid" This Is
high class show and one which does
not usually make towns Of our size ana
our theatre going public Is much graf

ton.
Mention was made in this cores
poadence as to the death from heart
disease Of a fine horse. 1t was the
property of Mr.. Oscar Milholland and
not Of Mr.. Bollin as incorrectly stated.
A railroad employe off duty was
walking UP the spur Of the Charleston
division which Is off the main line and
down to the station when he found a
half stick OF dynamite placed on the
rail evidently with the intention Of do
ing damage. He reported his find ana
careful search was made for the
other end Of the stick" which was the
part containing the cap. It was not
found, however. No clew as yet has
been obtained leading to the discovery
of the party who placed 1t there. The
Madison Osterling Carnival Company
were preparing to take out their train
and some of them who have remain
ed over expressed the belief that the
intention was to wreck their train.
This, of course is only conjecture.
The police are alert In the matter and
and hope to find a clew.
