Rock HILL, October 15.-Mr. Greene
Sandifer, who has been lying Ill at the
Presbyterian hospital In Charlotte fol
three weeks was taken suddenly worse
last Thursday and ever since his con-
dition has grown more alarming. i
was decided to bring him home and
Messrs. Myron Sandifer and Morrow
| Ivy went up to Charlotte Sunday
morning to assist in removing him
Mr.. Sandlfer was brought down on 2.
Sunday night accompanied by the
friends named above and by Mrs. San
differ, Miss Edna Hull and Mr.. Sadlel
Love. They were met at the train BY
a number Of Mr.. Sandifers friends, whit
bore the sick man upon his cot to his
home and In that manner making the
transfer as comfortable as possible
He stood the trip very well and while
there Is very little hope entertained fol
his recovery 1t cannot be said that he
| Is any worse from the effects Of the
journey. He has a very large circle OF
friends, who are deeply interested ir
his condition.
Rev. Calvin M. Young, the colored
minister Of this city, who was elected
to the presidency Of HARRISON college
at Abbeyille and who went there the
last week In September, expecting tc
omen the institution October 3rd, will
return to Rock Hill. He has decided
after much advice and deliberation To
not attempt to open the college again
1t will be remembered that one Amos
the former president Of the college
left Abbeville rather suddenly after re-
signing his position and 1t was alleged
that he had been teaching mischievous
\ 60
Young, a native Of Abbeville county
and man Of the finest reputation, was
appointed 1t was thought by many that
the situation had been met In the best
manner possible, and that there would
be no further trouble, but II seems not
and he will not attempt what Is per-
haps an impossible Job. Rev. Young
has done a splendid work here in Rock
Hill as pastor Of Hermon Presbyterian
church, and as a teacher. There would
never be any trouble with those who
have come under his influence as would
be testified by many white people OF
this city.
An effort is being made by young
men Of the Highland Park mill to or
ganize and equip a first-class cornet
band. Twenty Of them have dubbed
together and subscribed SO each for
the purchase of instruments. They are
circulating a subscription list among
the citizens to raise the balance need
ed for the instruments, and are meeting
with success. They will themselves
employ Prof. R. J. Herndon Of York
VILE to instruct them. 1t has been
years since Rock Hill has had brass
band and 1t is a thing needed.
The arrangements for the building
of a castle hall for Oakland Lodge K.
of P. have not yet been completed. The
lodge at its last meeting failed to agree
upon the proposition submitted them
by Messrs. Crawford and Roddey, who
are beginning the erection Of a hand
some building on the old Gordon hotel
lot. Negotiations are not Off how
ever, and q deal may yet be made,
whereby the lodge may own Its castle
hall.
The English people brought here re-
Gently to work in the mills, and who
found employment at the Manchester
mill have left and gone to Charlotte.
Just why cannot be said, but at any
rate they were dissatisfied and there
was no disposition on the part Of their
employers to keep them against their
will
One imagines from many indications
that in all things the U. 8. government
Is so extremely particular that no con-
tract, however trivial, would be award
ed without the parties entering into
strict bonds for the faithful fulflllment
of said contracts. 1t has transpired
that such is not always the case. The
recent letting Of the contract for trans
porting the mails to and from the post
office and railway station discloses the
fact that this is job which Uncle
Sam let's without a bond Of any kind
being entered into. Judging from the
care which our Washington father takes
in other affairs, it would seem strange
that this is true. The smallest star
router, the r. F. d. carriers and their
also carrying only a portion
Of the mall which being outside OF
business districts would probably not
Re so valuable, are all bonded. On the
other hand these transporting the en-
tire mails to and from the postoffice,
at all hours Of the night are not re-
quired to give bond Of any kind. The
