Closing of the Mills.
Rock Hill special of April % to the
Columbia State: A meeting of cotton
manufacturers was held here today,
at which not only the local mills but
those Of YOrkville Fort Mill and Ches-
ter were represented. The purpose of
the conference was to consider the sit
uation as to the market and what
these mills should do. 1t was decided
that instead Of running short time
from three to five days per week as
some have been doing, the mills Will
shut down for one week, beginning
with May II. All Of the mills rep
resented, except the Arcade and High
land Park Of this city, agreed to this
plan. These two mills are considering
the matter and will probably come In.
The mills OF Lancaster and Winnsboro
were not represented IN the meeting,
but II Is likely that they will enter the
agreement. Another conference will be
held. May 26. and further action then
decided upon.
Flint Hill Church.
Fort Mill correspondent Charlotte
Observer: The splendid new building
of the Flint Hill Baptist church is
now practically complete. 1t Is OF
brick and was erected at a cost of
about $1,000 TO the congregation, with
out furnishings. The furnishings and
fixtures will call for some $1,000 or
$1,5OO additional. AS soon as the
pews can be secured from the manu-
turers the building will be occupied
This will be, it is hoped, about the
middle of May. The church is now
one hundred and sixteen years old
and this is the fourth building used
by the congregation. The new build
ing will not perhaps, be dedicated at
once, but on the occasion Of the first
services held in it opening exercises
will be held and the services will also
partake of the nature Of a home-com-
ing welcome to the many members of
this church who have moved else
where. All such are hereby notified
that they are cordially invited to pay
visit to this old mother Of churches
on that occasion.

Murder Near Fort Mill.
Fort Mill special of April %, to
Charlotte Observer: Yesterday after
noon, about 4 o'clock, Love Robertson,
a negro boy about 16 years Of age, shot
and killed instantly Babe Watson, a
negro girl Of about the same age. The
tI,a Y.lfo on
Mr.. w. NJ. Culp's farm, about two
miles east of town. From the best
obtainable jealousy was
the cause of the crime. 1t seems that
the parties had been sweethearts but
some other suitor seemed recently to
be having the advantage over Rob-
ertson, who for some time has been
staying at the girls home, with her
father and mother. This resulted In
becoming very jealous.
Earlier in the day they had quarreled
and fought but with no special dam
age to either party. Mr.. Culp advised
the boy to let the trouble drop and he
promised to do so. But later in the
afternoon he left his plow and went
to a neighbor's and borrowed a gun,
pretending that he wanted to shoot a
maddog. Returning to the house,
where lie louHQ TIE gin III lHe ydiu'
he waited presenting the gun In a
manner until he got po-
sition in front Of her when he shot the
whole load into her bosom with
deadly effect. He then threw down
the gun and fled but was captured at
Osceola today by an officer. He was
hunted last night by a party and If
found by 1t he might possibly have
been lynched. So strong was the feel
ing that Squire McElhaney thought 1t
wisest not to have him brought back
here but had him conveyed directly to
Yorkville, where he was lodged in Jail.
The evidence Is positive, the killing
having been witnessed at distance
by Mr. Culp and the girls mother.
