q part of the E. W. Hall place west OF
the city and near v. B. McFadden's

Sam H. Mcdaniel is at home for re-
pairs after very painful wound, re-
ceived accidentally while in q barber
shop at Ninety-Nine Islands, where he
Is employed by the Southern Power
company. Two men In the shop were
quarrelling and one threw the razor at
the other. 1t failed to hit the mark,
but glanced from the wall. and the
open blade struck Mcdaniel upon the
arm infiicting a very painful and ugly
wound, which required eight or ten
stitches to close the wound.

years has travelled for the Roberts,

The home Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Bal
lard, situated in the grove in front OF
and across the Three C's railroad from
the White homestead, was burned to
the ground at IL o'clock Wednesday
night. 1t Is supposed that the kitchen
f1ue is responsible for the fire. Just
two years ago the Ballard home occu-
pying the same spot was burned to the
ground. Only a few pieces Of furni-
ture and a little clothing were saved
and to add to the calamity, Mrs. Bal
lard was sick, and Of course, was made
more so by the excitement. The loss
Is heavy on these good people. The
house which cost about $4,000, was
insured for $1,500. The fire company
could be Of no service as the house
was entirely out Of the limits.
The Rock Hill ball team disbanded
Wednesday evening. the three hired
players leaving here Thursday The
team has made a splendid average, al
though losing some games that hurt
very severely Out Of thirty games
played, they won nineteen. The last
two games, played here Tuesday and
Wednesday, were with a picked up
team of Rock Hillians. The regulars
won in the last game by score OF 2
to O. The first game was tie to 8.
These games were an additional EVIL

hired any players at all. She has right
here now a purely local team OF anna
teurs, who can beat any similar team
in the state.
