Beginning Thursday night at o'clock,

at the A. r. p. church, to continue

White of New Sterling, n. c., will do
the preaching. The annual fall com

at II o'clock .... Mr.. Herbert Walk
er of Edgmoor and Miss Myra Cham-
bers of Moultrie, Ga, were married
Sunday evening at the A. r. p. par
sonage by Rev. r. A. Lummus.. Mr..
S. J. Kimball, on Monday sold to Mr.
Sam Fars of the Kings Mountain
neighborhOOd, one of his farms lying
west of town. We are glad to welcome
Mr.. Faris into our community as he is
considered one of the best farmers in
Kings Mountain township. Mr.. Kim
ball has three other one hundredacre
tracts adjoining this farm which are
| for sale. All in high state of cultlNa-
ton. which is known as the London
lands. 1t now looks as If the COM
missioners of public works will with
out further delay proceed to the erec-
ton of an electric light plant for the
city of Rock Hill as all efforts to pur-
chase the plants of the Rock Hill Wa
| ter and Electric company, at a price
to be put by arbitration, have failed.
Since last Saturday up to Monday
night President A. p. Maloney of the
Water and Electric company, Attorney
p. A. Wilcox and II. T. Hartman, their
consulting engineer, have been here
| in conference with the commissioners
and with Wilson & Wilson, attorneys
| for the commission and the city cOun-
Gil. The object of the meeting was for
| the execution of the articles of agree
ment, which it was supposed had been
agreed upon between the commission
ers and the company and approved by
the city council. 1t appears however,
that Messrs. Wilson & Wilson had ad-
viSed both the commissioners and the
city council that under the act of the
legislature the commissioners could
only use proceeds of the bonds in the
purchase or construction for water
works and electric plants and that in
their opinion the franchise was not any
part of plant" under the act creating
the board of public works statute.
Upon this advice the city council pass
ed resolution concurring the proposed
action of the commissions as set forth
in the agreement "as far as they are
by law authorized" The effect of this
was to authorize the commission to in
clude the franchise in the purchase if
they could legally do 50. Accordingly
Messrs. Wilson, being instructed to
notify Mr.. Wilson as attorney for the
company of the action of the commits
sion and city council, enclosed reSO-
lutions of the city council accompanied
with statement of their opinion as at
torney at law to the same effect as
that he advised the city council and
commissioners that under the terms of
the act that the commissioners could
only pay for water and electric light
plants and that franchise constituted
no part of a plant. This of course
was only an expression of MeSSrS. Will
sons legal opinion and could have no
force or effect i'm altering the terms of
the contract. The Rock Hill Water
and Electric company, however, we
understand, based their refusal to sign
the agreement on the ground of this
opinion of Messrs. Wilson as express
ed in their letter to Mr.. Wilcox and in
sisted upon the terms of the agree
! ment to he altered in such way as to
require the award of the arbtratorS to
be passed upon by the courts This the
commissioners declined to agree to as
involving them not only in litigation,
but in needless waste of time and in
convincing them that the company
does not wish settlement by arbitra
ton.
Chester Lantern, September ID: The
new city water plant has just been
completed and is now in operation. 1t
is pronounced by people who know to
be one of the finest water plants of
any city in the south and certainly
none in this section of South Carolina
can begin To compare with it i'm it's
equipment, its efficiency, and its SER
vice. Altogether ii is something which
citizens of the city can feel juStifia-
BILE pride in and those of the taXpay
erS who have seen and examined ii are
loud in their praises of the well en-
gineered and successful plan in build
ing it. The end of one of the strong
est campaigns in the history of CheS
ter county came to a close at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. From the time
that the polls opened in the morning
until they closed i'm the afternoon there
was a steady stream of voters going
and coming to and from the polls.
Much interest centered in the race for
auditor and the friends of both con-
testantS for the place were hard at
work all over the county for their
man. There was a good deal of inter-
est shown in the race for governor also
and both Blcase and Featherstone had
plenty of workers in the county and
they were hard at it all day. ... Will
liam Mcleod, the ten year old son of
Rev. and Mrs. ID. NJ. Mcleod was run
over by an automobile last night ON
York street and injured although not
seriously. He was removed to the hos
pital and given medical attention and
examination revealed that no bones
were broken and no permanent injury
sustained. 1t is thought that he will
be all right in a few days. 1t seems
that the hoy was swinging on behind
dusk. Mayor +. II. Hardin and Mr..
Madison Ross were going up York
street just in the rear of the wagon.
They slowed down thinking the wagon
was going Ia turn into Pine street, hut
the wagon went on up York street, the
boy however dropping off at Pine
street. and right in front of the auto
mobile. One Of the lamps of the auto
mobile hit the boy behind his head and
the machine passed over the boys
body, the wheels however never touch
ing him. He was removed at once to
the hospital where examination show
ed nothing serious. $500. Mr. J. u. FcltS
died last Friday at the Magdalene hos
pital, after an illness of two weeks
duration, he having been in bad health
for some days. However. his case
was not considered serious until Fri
day. After close examination by his
physician. il was considered that an
operation was necessary. Mr.. FeltS
stood the operation well but God had
called his own, and all medical aid and
human effort proved i'm vain. And
