we found the road very
badly broken up as far as ColfaX. From
ColfaX to Dutch Flat we found the
going better, however, and to that
point had but little snow with which to
contend. After taking lunch at Dutch
Flat we put chains on our wheels, eX-
pecting to make the summit by dark.
As we proceeded, however, we found
more and more snow. No rigs of any
kind had been over the roads since
the last fall of snow, and consequently
there were no tracks to mark our way.
Consequently we often held to what
we thought the right direction in gen
eral with no regard to roads. On
reaching Emigrant Gap l looked into
the tank and found that we had en-
Ough gasoline to make % or "a miles

Right here our first misfortune began.
At the snowsheds the 0agman directed
us to take the left hand instead of the
right hand road, which was the cor
road through snow for fifteen miles

and took the right hand branch At
this time we had been following the
ley, but did not know it at the time.
The new road taken by US led to the
east in the general direction in which
we must go, but after running across
a canyon and up another grade we
turned west again along a new ridge.
ut was there that we decided to
turn back the sun having already
gone down. We first climbed to the
top of a cliff in hopes of seeing from
it some trace of the snow sheds but
found only miles of trees loaded down
with snow. Before starting back l took
another peek into the tank and found
only one inch of gasoline. This gave
a genuinely serious aspect to things,

County Bridge at Ivy's Mill.

After months of delay, the
board of county commissioners
have at last taken steps looking
to the erection of the proposed
river bridge connecting York and
Lancaster counties at point
near the site of Ivy's mill, IL
miles south of Fort Mill. The
matter of building the bridge
had all but been forgotten for
some time and there were not a
few who thought that interest
In the proposition had waned to
such an extent that all prospect
of the bridge being built had died
when the public apparently lost
sight of the undertaking some
months ago. But it often is the
unexpected that happens, so no
one will be surprised to learn that
the county commissioners are
advertising for bids for the con-
struction of the bridge, which is
to be of steel and approximately
1,200 feet in length.
Five thousand dollars was ap-
propriated from the county funds
by the Legislature sitting last
winter toward the cost of the
bridge. This sum has been aug
mented by public subscription
of about $1,000, collected largely
through the efforts of Mayor
John T. Roddey, of Rock Hill.
Mayor Roddey is confident that
the bridge will divert much
valuable trade to Rock Hill from
the panhandle of Lancaster coun-
ty, by opening up a section which
Is now comparatively remote
from any large town.

Neither Side Scored.

In the first game of football
seen on the local gridiron this
season, Fort Mill Saturday after
noon played to standstill an
aggregation of strong players
from Charlotte, most of whom
were eX-collegians. The new
style football was played. Neither
of the teams was able to score
in the four ten-minute quarters.
but Fort Mill is credited with the
greater number of gains. In the
last quarter, Fort Mill had the
ball on the North Carolinians'
ten-yard line and it looked as if
a score was inevitable, but the
visitors were saved by the whistle
announcing the end of the game.
The stars for Fort Mill were:
Tom Sandifer, left halfb&ck, and
Herbert Harris, left tackle. o. l..

the best work for Charlotte.

ROCK HILLS CITY AFFAIRS
EXASPERATINGLY MUDDLED

The situation as to a solution
of Rock Hills public utilities
troubles in going forward with
the installation of sewerage
system, for which bonds were
voted nearly a year ago, is still
unsatisfactory The city has for
years had all sorts of trouble
with the owners of the corpora
ton which supplies water and
light.
Rock Hill wants to buy out
these people, and it is said has
done everything reasonable to do
so. At the receivers sale, about
a year ago, Martin Molony, of
Philadelphia, bought the plant
and everything that goes with it
for about $4,000. A short time
ago Rock Hill offered $115, 900
cash for his holdings, and this
was refused. The city then pro-
posed to arbitrate and the offer
was accepted. Before the arbi
traitors were chosen Mr.. Molony
withdrew from the agreement.
Then plan was entered into
that the city and company each
select an expert engineer to 90
over and appraise the property.
This was done, the city selecting
Thos. w. Cothran, of Greenwood,
MIR. Moloney sending down a Mr..
Hartman from Philadelphia.
About the time these gentle
men were well into an appraise-
ment Mr.. Hartman had a talk
with MIR. Moloney over the long
distance phone and refused to 90
further into the matter.
MIR. Cothran continued and fin
ished his work and has presented
his report to the commissioners
and city council. He appraises
the property at $92, ,080.75, and
in doing so he corresponded with
a large number of dealers, whose
supplies were used in the plant,
getting undisputed figures on
their cost, etc. In a desire to
give the water and light COM
pany full value, however, the
city will offer Mr.. Molony $780,
600 for the plant.
In the event of refusal, it is
probable that the board of public
works will be ordered by the city
council 70 proceed at once to the
installation of a new plant.
The water company, believing
that their franchise is exclusive,
probably will enter suit and
much trouble is expected.

1t is said that thousands of dol
lars are thrown away annually in
York county by the use of un-
suitable fertilizers.
After the work of Prof. Beavers
is completed, a mass meeting of
farmers is to be held in Rock
Hill, probably on November 90.

Failed to See the Airship Fly.

Alrships are not yet common
sight in this section of the coun-
try, so goodly number of York
county people went to Charlotte
to witness the work of the biplane
which was advertised to do some
flying in that city Thursday after
noon. But the airship didn't fiy;
the aviator wouldn't risk his
bacon in the 30-rnile breeze that
refused to begone, even to please
the thousands who were intent
upon seeing the sight. Conse-
quently, it was a disappointed,
dlsgruntled crowd which Quilted
the field when it was known that
no flights would be attempted.
1t Was bad enough, the York
county visitors said, to go so far
only to be disappointed, but mat
ters were made worse for them
by the refusal of the manage
ment of the airship to return
the money which they had paid
to witness the flight. Wind
checks were issued for a flight of
the ship, but few of these were
used. The airship made a short
flight Saturday afternoon.

Sunday afternoon about 5 o.

farm, southwest of that city, took
a shotgun and deliberately blew
his brains out. Mr. Logan, with

occasions threatened to kill him.

seriously.
Sunday afternoon, about 5
O'Clock, a younger brother left
the house on some domestic
errand, and shortly after he left
the house another brother, who
had been absent from the place,
rode up on horseback. Just as
he was riding into the yard he
heard a gun fired. Upon investi-
cation he found David Logan's
body on a chair with the top of
the head blown off. Mr.. Logan
had placed the gun between his
knees, put the barrel against his
forehead and blown the entire
top of his head off.
No cause is assigned for the
act, except that it is said he had
been drinking.

Result Gratifies Senator Tillman.

Senator Benjamin r. Tillman
was In Augusta Saturday on bus
iness, and while there he talked
with a newspaper representative
on the recent Democratic victory.
The senator was particularly mild
in speaking of Theodore Roose-
welt, whom he has dubbed "the
greatest faker on EARTH" but
the very quietness of his voice
lent additional scorn and con-
tempt for the ex-president.
Senator Tillman was asked for
an expression of the Democratic
victory, and what he thought of

welt.
1T was more than slap in the
face" said the senator. THE
recent victory of the Democratic
party is evidence of returning
sense on the part of the people,
In a realization of that change

expect good government, and
God knows it's bad enough. The
corruptions that are entering in
to it now ought to make a good

AS to the cause of the cleo

do with it. The pernicious activ-

effect he desired, but just the re-
verse. The tariff. of course. cut

MURDER CHARGE HANGS OVER
14-YEAR-O OLD FORT MILL BOY

A Fort Mill case of some inter-
est which likely will be called
for trial at the fall term of the
circuit court for York county.
which opens on the 9th inst, is
that of the State against Gait
Helms, charged with murder.
Gait Helms is a 14-year-old white
boy whose father is a tenant on
the plantation of DR.. T. S. Kirk
patrick, in the Gold Hill neigh
borhood. The boy is charged
with the murder of Aubrey Culp,
whose father was w. M. Culp.
The circumstances of the homi-
eide, as told before the coroner's S
jury the day of the death of
young Culp, were about as fol-
lows: The boys were returning
together along the public road to
their respective homes from the
Gold Hill school, at which both
were pupils, and became involved
in quarrel which ended in an
exchange of blows. The Culp
boy appeared to have the advan-
tage of the Helms boy in the fist
fight and the latter struck the
former across the forehead with
his tin dinner pail. Then the
fight ended, with neither appar-
emily much hurt. Some hours
after the Culp boy reached home,
however, he began to complain
of pain in his head and presently
became unconscious. The fol-
lowing morning DR.. j. B. Elliott
was called in and, after examin-
ing the boy, state that he was
In a serious condition from con-
cussion of the brain and that he
should be taken to a hospital
for an operation. Arrangements
were made to take the boy to
a Charlotte hospital on the morn
ing of August 20, but he died a
few minutes after being put
aboard the train. Gait Helms
was Immediately arrested and
taken to York Jail, where. he
was held a few days, until he
was released on bond. Finley &
Miller will defend the boy.
