CHESTER.
Lantern, June IS: We want the
brethren Of the press to know, or at
least believe, that it was not because
we were afeard of the automobiles or
the perils of a whaling expedition that
we did not attend the meeting on the
Isle Of Palms. 80. Mr.. o. w. Kelsey
of the Public Service Corporation, has
been before the council to ask fran
chise for car lines through our streets.
II would be great convenience in
many respects and to many people 10
have streets cars, and it would make
another enterprise and more capital
invested. The greatest care should be
exercised, however, in granting fran
chise. Street cars are coming any way
and We are not dependent upon any
one set of people for them. We have
heard that this corporation is asking
almost unlimited privileges in other
towns. We do not know now what
these privileges are or just what is
asked here, but we are only suggesting
that our council scrutinize closely and
proceed carefully. :. Mr.. A. N. Grant
of the Armenia neighborhood, is in the
city today. He says crops in his
neighborhood are making a very poor
showing for the time Of year, especial
ly cotton. He also says there has been
an accident in his neighborhood each
of the past three Sabbaths. On the
second of June, little son Of Mr.. Bud
Hudson fell off the lot fence and broke
one of his legs above the knee. DR..
w. NJ. Love happened to be there and
set the broken limb. On the ninth
NF ~
out Of the door and broke a leg and
DR.. H. E. Mcconnell was called to
him. Last Sabbath evening, Miss Fay
Walsh overbalanced in some way and
fell out of their back steps, breaking
one of her wrists almost in the joint.
DR.. A. NJ. Wylie was called yesterday
and set the fracture. .... Mrs. Willie
Cross Cox, wife of DR.. w. b. Cox, died
about l1.30 o'clock Sabbath night,
June 16. She has been in i'll health
for more than a year and about two
weeks ago she took something like
gaStritis. Her heart became involved
and at the last she went to sleep so
calmly and sweetly that the loved ones
around her scarcely knew until her
gentle spirit had taken it's flight. She
was in her forty second year and was
the oldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
R. NJ. Cross. She was born near Tus-
caloosa, Ala, but her parents moved
here when she was but a child and her
life has been spent in this community.
About eighteen years ago she was
married to DR.. w. B. Cox. He and
two sons, w. B. j., and Marion, aged
about thirteen and a half and fifteen
years. are left to mourn the loss Of
devoted wife and mother. She is also
survived by her grief-stricken parents,
three brothers, Messrs. S. D. Cross of
this city, P w. Cross of Columbia, and
Burrell Cross of Indiana, and two sis
ters, Mrs. Julian w. Avery Of Rock
HILL and Mrs. w. H. Edwards, Jr.,
Of this county Mrs. Cox was woman
with high ideals and a most lovely dis
position and the whole community
mourns her death. The funeral SER
vices were at the residence on Pinck-
ney street yesterday afternoon at 5
o'clock, conducted by Rev. M. L.
Banks, and the burial was in Ever
