, Thursday afternoon about 4 o'clock. at
the home of Mrs. Martha Jane Adams
i'm the neighborhood, where he was en-
gagged at the time i'm making cider. His
brother in law, Mr.. Grover Sims, was
badly shocked and painfully hurt. The
electric bolt descended a sycamore
tree and struck the lever of the cider
press, under which was Mr.. Miller,
straining cider. The only mark made
on him was a small abrasion on top OF
the head. Mr.. Miller was about 20

Summer School of the South at Knox

Rock Hill and twice as many as SO

day afternoon between Lancaster ana
Monroe recalled to the minds of some
of the older citizens the fact that the
| first time the two towns ever crossed
bats was about thirty-five years ago.
| The game was played here on what
was then a vacant old field where now
stands the residence of Chief Justice
| Ira B. Jones. At that time there WASH
a house on the square formed by Ches-

Arch streets, while now there are, in

about half a dozen other dwellings.
Chester Lantern, July IS: Miss Julia
Neville of Clinton. is visiting her uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Aiken
one thing which Mr.. Featherstone
advocates with which we heartily
agree is biennial sessions of the legis-
lature. They should be adopted by the
people of South Carolina, and men
pledged to this constitutional amend
ment should be selected this summer
This yearly business of the Legislature
meeting is entirely too frequent for the
good of the state. Miss Ethel Har-
rison of Rock Hill, and Mr. d. r. Far
thring of this city, were married III

Memorial Baptist church, at his home
| The ceremony was performed at
o'clock and witnessed by only few
friends. Comptroller General A. W.
Jones of Columbia, was here Wednes-
day afternoon and made the annual
settlement with Auditor Hood and
| Treasurer Wylie The settlement was
made i'm a very short time as every
| thing was found right up to date. Gen
Jones complmented both Auditor Hood
and Treasurer Wylie on the neat and
business-like way they keep affairs
He expressed himself as highly pleased
with the reports and had many nice
| things commendatory to say for both
officers. Chester county hasn't bor-
| rowed a cent this year and won't need
to for current affairs. A nice balance
| in on hand in the treasury. The levy
| for ordinary county purposes is mills
l mill less than last year. 1t seems
| that it is almost impossible to get the
garbage cans and barrels of trash re-
moved from back lots. 1t will he re-

| "resoluted" about this business, pass
ing an ordinance requiring all trash
| to be placed in boxes or barrels in back
| lots and the city was to remove same
Well, the Lantern knows of a place
where the trash has been standing in
| barrels in back lots for over three
| weeks. but no garbage wagon has ap-
peared to remove same, and meantime
| the trash fingers in the barrels. A
| "hullabaloo" about city health was
kicked up when the resolution was
passed but it all seems to have blown
| over Citizens are annoyed by this
| tardiness and many are wanting to
know why it isn't attended to. Ac-
| cording to the ordinance if the trash is
placed in barrels or boxes in back lots
| then the citizen has performed his part
| The city wagons are supposed to re-
| move the trash, but it appears that
| this is largely a matter of supposition
| Over $4,000 on communication. tax
