ton w. Search who lectured during the
past week at Winthrop college was
very much enjoyed by not only the
stuoents and faculty of the college, but
py the towns people as WELL. All OF
his lectures being well attended. BY
special request he lectured in the sun
day school room Of the Presbyterian
church Saturday morning at IL O'CLOCK
to the ladies forming the City Union
of Momen's clubs. Prof. Search Is a
great believer in women's clubs, by the
way, and believes that they are very
great factors in educational and all
progressive movements even though
they do not always appear directly OF
officially IL these matters; that the
trend of club life and association Is to
lead the membership into a stronger
assertion of their views and conse-
gu, ntiy the creation of greater inf1u-
ence in current affairs where they are
Always the power behind the throle.' =
Prof Search, who has spent many
years in travel and who Is truly q
"g.obe trotter" created a splendid i'm
Or, ssion upon his audience here and
upon all with whom he came in con-
tact and would be welcomed to ROCK
Hill again with great pleasure.
MIR. w. Harry Wylie, who does with
his might what his hands find to do, Is
somewhat of an ornithologist. He took
time the other day from his very busy
life and duties, to speak to the chill
dren of the graded schools on the sub
lject of birds and especially on the care
of the blue birds which are again be-
coming plentiful in this section. Mr.
Wylie took with him and exhibited tc
the youngsters house, which ne mac
made from an ordinary gourd and
half circle of wire, suitable to hang
near the gardens or in the yard tC
tempt the blue birds into taking pos
session. Once installed in home
these little fellows are regular An
drew Jacksons" and will allow neither
sparrows or other small birds to ous1
them. Mr.. Wylies idea in fostering the
blue birds is the fact that they are the
.atural enemy Of all worms and in
sects, but especially Of the small green
worm, that infests the tomato plant
and makes havoc with the crop by bor-
ing into the undeveloped green fruit
His advice to the boys and all boys Is
to make little boxes and erect them
near the garden where the birds car
use them as homes. Already his talk
has borne fruit here and / have seen
a number of new boxes put up by the
small boys who are always ready to
take a hint of this kind.
Mr.. w. r. Murray, who since the es-
tablishment in this city of the head
quarters Of the Charleston division OF
the Southern railway, has been the
train master, has accepted a similar
| position with the st. Louis and Iron
Mountain railway at Little Rock, Ark
He has rendered his resignation to take
effect February the 7th. Mr.. Murray
has made many friends in Rock Hill
since his residence here and there will
be many regrets at the moving away
Of himself and family.
Mr.. Robert Roseborough Is in the
City hospital with a crushed foot. He
is manager of the Rock Hill street
railway and received his injury by
having the wheel Of car run over his
foot. While getting the trucks OF a
through car on the rails the motorman
misunderstood the signals and twisted
the tail of the electricity too soon re-
sulting in this painful injury to Mr.
Roseborough. 1t will probably be
some time before he can walk on II
comfortably.
Friday evening the second, was a
delightful one in the history OF Ca

to have entire charge Of the meeting,
The occasion was one planned and

Masonry, of which Fort Mill has q
larger membership than any town OF
ten times it's population coming with

ent DR.. James H. Thornwell, VINO
| is a prominent Mason, seems to have
had something to do in bringing
about this state Of things. The de-
gree of the Eastern Star Is one which
all Masons should receive in order
to make it beneficial to the sisters,
of which there are great many IN
the United States, and in addition
to the large class of ladies who were
inflicted that evening, there were
six Jr eight Master Masons. Practi.
CAL all of the Masons of Fort Mill
and surrounding country have taken
the degree.
After the exemplification Of the
degree the Masons and ladies re-
paired to the dining hall where was
set a tempting banquet and where
the hundred or more diners were
waited upon by number of young
ladies, many Of them too young to
become sisters to Masons, but only
awaiting for the required age to be
reached before doing as all good Fort
Mill ladies should, that is becoming
Ladies of the Eastern Star"
DR.. James H. Thornwell In his usu-
al happy manner, responded 70

solid information and instruction
gave his hearers something at which
to laugh.

some original ideas conceived after
Masonic research, which would cause
a deal of thinking by his hearers
both initiated and ignorant. His
thoughts are far in advance OF the
present day. After the banquet a

with a great deal of merriment.
