CHESTER,

at one time an instructor in the YORK
vile Female college. He is an alumnus
of Davidson college. ....... Mr.. w. A.
Darby of Rodman, will move to Mr.. S.
M. Jones' farm near Rock Hill this fall.
He goes to take charge Of Mr.. Jones
farm, which has for several years been
under the efficient management of Mr..
Jim Huey, who will move back to his
plantation near Lewis Turnout. Mr.
Huey has been very successful in his
management. Mr. Darby is a good
farmer and no doubt he will succeed
equally as well. j. f. Mcdonald,

few hours Wednesday, Mr.. Mcdonald
is the attorney engaged by the new
dispensary board to look into the mat

by the old board just before retiring
Barrels of whisky poured into Column
bia by car loads until every available
place for storage was full to overflow
ling; the yards were hardly sufficient
to accommodate the superflux. Upon
Investigation the whisky companies
were found to be unwarranted in ship
ping so great an amount Of goods, and
upon advice they allowed the whisky
to be returned to them, with the excep-
tion of a few hundred barrels. Mr.:
Mcdonald says that the whole affair
concerning the purchases Of the old
board is pretty complicated. ;. Sheriff

There is some one about the home of
A. G. Brice, Esq, who knows how to
raise cabbage. The largest and finest
head we have seen in many day is
lfrom there. We believe that Mr.. Brice
sometimes INDUCES in the recreation
of hoeing in the garden. The unusual
success is no doubt due to this under
Mrs. Brice's direction. The report
has gone out in some way that Solici-
tor ]. X. Henry is to meet Senator A.
C. Latimer in a joint debate regarding
Federal aid in road building at the Ar
menia picnic, August 4th, such report
having been published in several news
papers of the state. Solicitor Henry
knows nothing of such debate. The
report, it seems, got into the papers
Through a conversation by Senator
Latimer, who spoke of Mr.. Henry's
disapproval Of Federal interference in
local road construction, yet no chal-
Ilenge was made more than in jest, and
none was accepted. Solicitor Henry
says, however, that he is unqualifiedly
Iopposed to Federal interference in the
matter of road building, as Senator Lat
inner advocates, yet he would not think
of joining him in debate on the ques-
tion in Chester county, right here at
Mr. Henry's home and among his own
people. He thinks that Senator Lati-
mer has contributed much to the good
roads caused by his discussion of FEEDER
al aid. The senator and solicitor are
close personal friends. The whole re-
port grew out Of piece Of badinage
between them while discussing the
Federal aid proposition.

ding of Mr.. John L. Bryan and Mrs.

elegant new residence Of DR.. H. NJ.
Eddleman on Main street, with whom
Mrs. Gallant made her home. Wit
messed by only the immediate families
and a few intimate friends, the cere-

ed by Rev. r. c. Anderson, pastor of
the Presbyterian church. Mr.. w.

in the City Grocery company to Mr..

lLockhart S. c., where he takes charge
of the weave room in a cotton mill at
that place. Mr.. Costner was already

weeks ago. The members of the firm
are Messrs. ]. E. Lindsay, w. S. Lough-
ridge and F. A. Costner. -. Mr.. f. R.
Lee had a narrow escape at the Mo-
Idena, Wednesday. Lee was working on
the boiler room when his scaffold gave
way. and he fell about twenty five feet
to the ground. Although he was con-
siderably shocked by the fall, he escap-
ed without injury with the exception
of bruise on his head. .... 1t was no
small company that gathered them
selves into happy family reunion
Wednesday at the home Of Mr.. Will
liam Arrowood near Bessemer City.

ing excellent health. He married Mary
Ann 'Froneberger in 1S41. and she was
his devoted companion and help-meet
for fifty-five years. To them were
born eleven children, of whom all but
one lived to be married and nine are
still living. These nine children were
present at the reunion, and forming
themselves into a choir, gathered up
the old tune books and sang again the
old time songs, of which one was THE
Lord is Risen" Their rendering of
these old sacred melodies was one of
the most delightful features of the
home coming day. Returning to the
family statistics, we note that Mr.. Ar
rowood has forty-eight grandchildren
living and eleven dead; fifteen great
grandchildren living and two dead;
twenty five of the grandchildren and
all of the living children were present
