Rock Hill Herald, June %: At a
most enthusiastic church conference at
st. Johns Nj. f. church Of this city,
Sunday morning, it was ordered to eX-
tend an invitation to the South Car
olina conference to hold its 1911 ses-
sion in this city. The conference held
it's 10th session in this city, in 1895,
Bishop Galloway presiding .... Ethel,
the infant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c..
o'clock at the Manchester mill after a
short illness. The remains of the lit
tie one were Inferred in Laurelwood
cemetery that afternoon. .... AT their
meeting on Friday night, the commits
sioners of public works, in conference
with Engineer Rucker of Charlotte,
made plans for the placing of the city
arc lights. No contracts have been let,
but if the present plans are carried
out, Rock Hill will present quite a
metropolitan appearance. Starting
from the Methodist church, arches will
be erected down Main street and
around to the passenger station. On
these will be strings of electric lights,
giving a brilliant and attractive ap-
pearance at night. 80. Mayor John T.
Roddey will leave the city this after
noon for Washington to have a confer
ence with the Southern railway Off
cials in regard to the new ordinance
granted by the city of Rock Hill con-
cerning the new passenger station. 1t
is believed that the ordinance will
meet the approval of all parties con-
cerned. The hitch has been this: The
Southern did not want to undertake
the grading down to Railroad avenue,
unless the city would bear the respon-
sibility. AS we understand it, the
property owners that will be affected
have decided that part of the land need
ed to the city and the city will grant
permission to have the grading done.
Gaffney Ledger, June %: Messrs. D.
c. Ross, Will Turner, Ed Byars, Gibbs
Pridmore and DR.. C. A. Jefferies autoed
over to Piedmont Springs Sunday.
While driving down hill the machine
struck a hole and skidded against a
tree and was put out of commission.
... AT a special convocation of Gren-
ard Lodge No. 1877 Saturday night pro-
per committees were appointed to
arrange for the laying of the corner
stone Of the Cherokee Avenue Baptist
church. This ceremony will take place
on the third Sunday in July at II
o'clock a. m...... The summer term of
the court of general sessions for Cher
okee county convened yesterday morn
ing at 10 o'clock with Special Judge w.
B. Gruber of Walterboro, on the bench
and Solicitor Otis and Stenographer
Smith at their posts. Seventeen grand
jurors answered to their names and
the business of the court was prompt
ly taken up and the business of the
term is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. The judges charge to the
grand jury, though brief, was clear,
logical and concise. He impressed
upon the body the Importance of keep
ing secret the matters pending before
it and not to allow anyone to approach
any member of the body in regard to
any indictment; that this is practiced
in some counties Of the state, and the
ic n
the body here in order that it may be
guarded against. He regretted to note
that there are three indictments for
murder, and two for rape; that all
law abiding citizens of the state deep
ly deplore the fact that there is so
much crime within the borders of the
grand old state of South Carolina, and
that it is a rare thing that any term Of
court is held in any county of the state
without having one or more murder
cases for trial. That the prevalence Of
crime is perhaps due to the non-en-
forcement of the law on the part Of
the courts.
Fort Mill Times, June 80: Work is
being rushed on the new graded school
building and the hope is entertained
that it will be finished and ready for
occupancy by the 18th Of September.
At the rate of progress now being
made by the masons working on the
outer walls of the building they should
be finished within fifteen days. Mrs.
Of
died at her home on Ardrey hill Satur-
day morning, after an illness Of three
weeks. Mrs. Erwin was Miss Mary
McElhaney and she and Mr.. Erwin had
been married about twelve years. She
is survived by her husband and a lit
tie daughter. Mrs. Erwin was a good
woman and was a member Of the Pres
byterian church, from which the fu-
neral services were conducted by the
pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Hafner, Sunday
morning at II o'clock. The intermSiIt
was in the town cemetery. .... Lieu
tenant Governor T. G.. Mcleod will not
come to Fort Mill Friday evening to
make a speech to the voters of this
community in behalf of his candidacy
for governor. Some days ago local
friends of Mr.. Mcleod conceived the
idea of having him come to Fort Mill
from the county meeting in Yorkville
Friday, but an agreement has been
reached by the various candidates for
state office making the county-to-
county campaign that no political
speeches are to he made by any cam
didate during the campaign at other
scheduled meeting places. This agree
ment kills the proposed Fort Mill
speech of Mr.. Mcleod as well as the
meeting which it was hoped to have in
Rock Hill Friday night. E. The novelty
of seeing an Indian baseball team at
play was witnessed on the local diamond
Saturday afternoon when the Cataw-
bas came t. Fort Mill for a game with
local team. The Fort Mill boys were
generous and presented the game to
the Indians after ii was seen that they
could have beaten the redskins with
ease. The score was II to 10 in favor of
the CatawbaS. More interest was man.
ifested in the personnel of the Indian
team than in the result of the game.
Their oldest player, John George, was
about 40 years of age, and their young
