Overseer Coyle ard his force are lay
ing the concrete sidewalk between
Limestone College and Mrs. Richard
sons place. The new walk adds
greatly to the appearance of the street.
We have no criticism to make except
that we believe the authorities are
making a mistake in not grading the
sidewalk before putting down this
permanent pavement. The Chero-
kee Falls Manufacturing Co. has shut
down for this week to make some
needed repairs. ..... The protracted

Gently sold twenty-fOur bales of cot

Rock Hill Herald, August 16: Mr..
Elias Earle Thornwell has announc-
ed the engagement of his sister, Miss
Frances Harriet to Mr.. Sidney Reid,

is read with warm interest in this
state, where the fair bride is well and
lovingly known. She is the youngest
daughter of the late DR.. and Mrs.
James II. Thornwell and is a young

her marriage will take her from her

MooreSville, a graduate of the A. &
M. College, assistant superintendent
at the Southern Power Company's
plant eight miles above here. had
most marvellous escape from death
Friday night during the severe cleo
trical storm that visited this section.
Mr.. Black attempted to close a big
door near one of the large dynamos
when the wind blew him against the
dynamo and the rope that drives the
machine pulled him through a very
small hole, the hole being only six or
eight inches wide and several feet
across and he fell to a cement floor
twenty feet below. In being pulled
through the hole his back and the
greater part of his body, including
one side of his face and one ear were
denuded of skin by being burned by
the friction from the ropes. His whole
body is a mass of scars and bruises.

Esq. AS we understand the mat
ter, Hickory. Lincolnton, and Gasto-
mia will all have their bids for the
shops of the c. and y. W., in tonight
with General Manager L. T. Nichols
and the decision as to where the shops
will be located will be decided in the
course of the next few days. That all
of these towns are going to make
strong bids is we'll known. While we
are able to say that one or more of
them will offer as high as 100000 for
the shops besides other strong induce
ments in the way of exemption from
taxes. cheap water rates. and other
desirable things. All Of these towns
are in earnest in the fight to secure
the location Of the shops and they are
all able and will make strong bids
for them. Chester has not been idle.
She realizes the necessity of action
and under the lead of Mr.. J. B. West
brook, the chairman Of the publicity
committee of the city council, has
about gotten things in shape to tell
the G. and y. w. people just what she
will do if the shops are kept here.
The outlook in the judgment Of The
Lantern is that the shops will remain
in Chester. There are several reasons,
outside of mere monetary considera-
tiOnS. which ii is not necessary to
point out just why the shops will more
than likely remain at this point.
