the bursting of two sections of hose,
the fire was confined to the second

G. S. MAY ARRESTED.
Shortage of Rock Hill Treasurer More
Than $4,000.

Rock Hill, July 23.-Mr. C. S. May,
former city treasurer, was arrested
at noon Wednesday and taken before
Magistrate Beckham, where he
waived preliminary and gave bond in
the sum of $4,000 for his appearance
at next term of court. This action
was taken by council after several
sittings when the report Of the Amer
lean Audit Company was received and
digested.
The amount named by Mr.. May
when he confessed his shortage to his
bondsmen several weeks ago was S6,-
900. He persists in the statement that
this is correct The amount given by
the audit company is $14,670.04. 1t
is stated by council that this amount
might be lessened to a small amount
if there were any receipts for the dis
bursements of the present year. The
receipts and vouchers of this year
having been destroyed it was found
impossible to check these later than
December 81, 1908. 1t is understood
that Mr.. May admits that the short
age has been accumulating for five or
six years. At the council meeting
held Tuesday morning Mr.. Mays
counsel was allowed until noon to-
day in which to arrange to make good
the shortage. This not being done,
the arrest followed. 1t is also stated
that Mr.. May declared emphatically,
prior to any movement to arrest him,
that he would stay right here, face
the charges and take his punishment
like a man.

Georgetown, July 26.-Judge John
S. Wilson, Solicitor Wells and Ste
nographer Covington arrived here
to-day to officiate at the special term
of court which convenes here tomor-
row for the trial of John Jenkins,
who is now here in jail, charged
with assault with criminal intent.
Jenkins has been in the penltentlary
for several weeks for safe keeping,
but was brought back here for trial
last Friday night.
A large crowd is expected to be IN
the city tomorrow; in fact, large
crowd arrived here to-day on the
steamer Mitchell G., from Conway,
and it is understood that there will
be a special excursion boat from
Conway here tomorrow. Sheriff G..
w. Scurry does not anticipate any
trouble during the trial. However,
the Georgetown Rife Guards are now
on duty by order of the governor, and
will remain in readiness until Wed
nesday night.
Jenk kins, when asked if he had
anything to say for publication, re-
piled: mot much, sir, except When
the trouble happened above Friend
field I was down at Aldery planta-
ton, about two and one-half miles
from the place where it occurred, and
when I went back to Friendfeld, the
place where live at, 1 was arrested
as the man. But am not the man,
and If 1 am found guilty want to
be hung right away. All that can be
done is to hang me and am sat1sned

NO SHORTAGE.
Georgetown Postmaster Praised by
Inspector.

Georgetown, July 25.-Reports to
the effect that Postmaster A. L. King
is in trouble of a financial nature
with the postal authorities are with
out foundation. In fact Postoflce IN
spector Smith is now in the city, and
has given the Office a rigid examina-
ton, and, it is learned, has commend
ed the manner in which the Office Is
being conducted in the highest terms.
This information was secured from
Postmaster King himself, who smil-
ingly asserted that his statement
would be fully sustained by the In
|spector's official reports. The people
of Georgetown have been given ex-
cellent mail service, and there are no
complaints heard in that respect even
among Mr.. Kings enemies, political
and otherwise.
Rumors of irregularities in the
postof1ce were no sooner abroad In
the city than off to Washington hur.

in case there Is vacancy. In view
of the fact that Mr.. King has but re-.

TEN CENTS REWARD.
What a Rich Banker Gave a Lad for
Finding $4,000.

NJ. Mohlenbrock, mayor of Camp
bell Hill, ILL.,, mill owner, banker and
real estate man, was at Murphys-
boro, ILL.,, a few nights ago and drop
ped his wallet, containing $4,000 in
money and negotiable papers. Frank
Will, youth employed by the Mobile
and Ohio railroad as coach cleaner,
found the wallet and restored it to
Mohlenbrock, who rewarded the boys
honesty by handing him dime. Mo-
helenbrock had walked from the train
to a hotel, nearly a mile distant, and
had not missed the wallet when Will
called him up by telephone and noti-
fed him of finding it in car.

Flames Destroy Eddy Lake Mill.

Conway, July 26.-Yesterday
morning about Z o'clock fire broke
out in the sawnill of the Eddy Lake
Cypress Company, at Eddy Lake, and
in very short time the sawmill
proper, including engine room, lathe
room and filing room, was swept
away. But for the course of the
wind and very hard work on the part
of the people of the village, the
whole plant would doubtless have
been swept away.
The loss is said to be between $780,
900 and 100000. Just what insur-
ance was carried on the property has
not been learned.
The fire is thought to have origi-
mated from the boiler room nearby.
The contents of this room, however,
were saved. A large force of work
men is now busy clearing away the
debris, preparatory to rebuilding the
plant. Just what will be done in the
way of rebuilding cannot yet be
stated. Mr.. w. M. Burgan, the prin-
cipal stockholder, lives in Baltimore.
He will be down as soon as possible
and work will be held up pending his
arrival.
This is one of the largest and best
equipped mills in this section. The
company owns some of the finest
bodies of timber in the county, and
only recently made marked improve
ments on their plant. This COM
pany is also the chief promoter of the
Eddy Lake & Northern Railroad
Company, which serves as a feeder
for the mill.
Messrs. Geo. Officer and J. w. Lit
tie, two of the best mill men Of the
State, are in charge of the large
mills, which are the outgrowth of the
onetime Geo. Officer Company.

WONDERFUL RESCUE.
Little Girl More Than Two Hours in
Narrow Well.

Fort Mill, July 26.-Word reached
Fort Mill this morning of a harrow
ing accident, and most remarkable
escape from death, which Sunday aft
ernoon befell the 8-year-old daughter
of G. Cook, white farmer of the
Belair neighborhood, seven miles
from this place. The child was play
ing about the yard and in some way
fell into the well, which is 80 feet
deep, contains about eight feet of wa
ter, and is walled with 18-inch terra
Gotta piping. The child screamed
while falling and her parents discov-
cred at once that she was in the we'll.
Intelligent effort was Immediately
directed toward the rescue Of the
child, who displayed the remarkable
presence of mind, after sinking the
depth of the eight feet Of water and
rising to the surface, of bracing her
body with knees and back on oppo-
site sides of the piping to avoid
drowning.
A rope was quickly lowered and
the child told to grasp it. This she
did, but when drawn to within few
feet of the mouth of the well the
child's strength failed and she fell to
the bottom of the well second time,
but again rose to the surface Of the
water and grasped the rope. After
the lapse of an hour or more the
child was again persuaded to swing
to the rope while her parents for the
second time attempted to draw her
from the well. Again, when almost
within arms reach of the parents,
the child let 60 the rope and for the
third time sank to the bottom, but
fortunately rose to the surface of the
water as formerly. The rope was
again quickly lowered and once more
was in the hands of the child.
This time, however, the child could
not, for the third time, be induced to
undertake the ascent-she was all
but exhausted, but had sufficient
strength left to hold to the rope and
thereby save herself from drowning.
Another hour passed and little
hope of rescuing the child was left.
Finally a pair Of steelyards was Sc
cured and tied to the end of second
rope. This was lowered and the
child told to fasten one of the hooks
to her clothing. In this way she was
at last rescued, after facing death for
more than two hours. Monday morn
ing the little girl was at play as
usual, apparently little the worse for
the narrowing experience of the aft
ernoon before.

Saluda, July 26.-Mr. r. A. Cole
man, of the Denny section OF this
county, accidentally shot himself FRI
day morning, while out shooting
SQUIRRELS. He had just fired his gun
and afterward threw it across his

pointing toward him and as it struck
the ground it was discharged, the
load of shot entering the left foot and
ankle. The wound Is very painful
one, the ankle bones being shatter-
