Herald, February %: The recorders
court was exceedingly light Monday
morning. Sid Chisolm plead guilty to
drunkenness and was sentenced to pay
a fine of So or serve ten days on the
chaingang He took the days. Dr. j.
F. Massey. Jr, and c. B. McFadden
were charged with running automobiles
over the hose at the fire Sunday, but
on account of the nature of the cases,
both were dismissed. The hose had
lust been stretched and no pressure
had been turned on when both of the
machines crossed the hose and since
both parties were endeavoring to get
out of way of the hose wagon and other
vehicles, they were forced to cross the
hose that had been stretched across
Hampton street. Mr. G. f. john
son. formerly chief clerk of the South
ern railway, and who has been visiting
his parents in Washington, D. c., arriv-
ed in the city last Thursday to spend
a short while before leaving for his
new post of duty at Jacksonville. Mr.
Johnson will serve in the same capac-
ity there as he did here, that of chief
clerk, and it is useless to say that he
will meet with success, for man so
well qualified for that position as Mr.
Johnson will make friends and meet
with success anywhere. Mr. Johnson
has resided in Rock Hill over a year
and has gained friends since the first
day he came and his familiar face Will
he missed in Rock Hill by not a few.
He. like many others who have moved
here, loves Rock Hill and its people and
regrets very much that he Is to locate
elsewhere. Mr. Johnson is held exceed
ingly high in the estimation OF the
Southern officials and we bespeak for
him a brilliant future. .....A letter re-
ceived from Mr. John Cathcart, Mon
day. who was bitten by dog last Wed
nesday and who left for Baltimore Fri
day to undergo treatment at the Pas
teur institute, states that after an en-
animation of the dogs head, which he
carried with him, it was found that the
dog was rabid, and will necessitate his
undergoing twenty-one days treatment.
1t has not yet been learned whether or
not the dog which bit Mr.. Latham Rod
dev. who is also in Baltimore, was
rabid Now comes a complaint from
the Fort Mill Times about the county
advertising. The Times claims that the
two clerk sales that appeared in the
Herald on the 18th instant should have
been published in the Fort Mill paper.
Perhaps our friend thinks so and per-
haps what he says is true. The said
advertisements came to our office with
ont the slightest solicitation on our part
and surely the party or parties IN
charge of these sales have q perfect right
TO decide what journal they should be
published in. The editor Of the Her
aid appreciates all favors shown MS
paper. and when a few clerk sales are
sent to us for publication we are sor-
~ that our good friend Bradford thinks
that they should have been sent to his
paper. The parties in charge Of the
sale are to decide this question and
since they saw fit to publish same in
the Herald we consider the act COM
pliment and hope that the sale, even if
it be at Fort Mill. will be a success.
