Rock Hill Herald, September 27:
Mrs. GLADDEN. died Sunday at the home
Of her son. w. H. GLADDEN. in this city.
Funeral services were conducted at
| the residence yesterday morning, by
Rev. S d. Bailey. and interment was
| i'm LaurelwoOd. . Mr.. Richard Dren-
nan of this city who was injured on
the 18th of July of this year by South
ern engine while he attempted TO cross
the track of the Southern at Wilson
St. crossing has entered suit against
the Southern Railway for damages
sustained in the wreck. Mr.. Dren-
nan has employed T. F. McDow Esq.
of this county, to represent him. The
case will more than likely come up at
the next term of court. From all
outside appearances, 1t seems that the
cotton farmers of this community are
wiser than ever before. They are be-
ginning to realize that cotton is
king" and they are prepared this year
to get a good price for their crop. 1t
is settled fact that they are better
prepared for a battle royal than last
year. In 1909 fully $500 bales of
cotton were sold to local buyers for
future delivery. These contracts were
filled all right, but at a great loss.
When cotton was selling in the market
for IA and Is and even 16 cents, the
poor, worked down farmer was filling
the contract which he sold at from 10
to 123 cents. This year we can pre-
sent a brighter picture, one that has a
golden frame. There were not over
500 bales of cotton sold this year for
future delivery in Rock Hill. This is
encouraging news to everyone. Now
if the farmer will keep his cotton off
the market when the market starts
down, he will be we'll fixed. Usually
when the market is on the decline the
farmer breaks his neck to sell all he
has on hand for fear the market will
drop lower What if it does? If no
cotton can be bought at that low
figure, it is bound to go up. The
world must have cotton and if the far
mers will say we must have our price,
they will get it. The Herald has
received the following statement from
IItSllllIS Elucl L. y. ~ LCll VI NiiS
Rock Hill District concerning the un-
fortunate affair that has occurred in
the city. Editor of The Herald: In
aSmuch as the press will. in all prob
ability. send out reports concerning
the unfortunate affair involving Rev.
II. X. Mills of the South Carolina
conference, 1 deem it my duty to the
church. to Brother and Mrs. Mills 10
give the facts to the public. On Thurs
Prnfhar MillS n
me and told me that he was in trou-
ble-that he and his wife could not
live together any longer. and that l
release him from his work as he would
feel delicaCy in appearing before his
congregation under the circumstances.
Having no authority to release him,
told him that the best and only thing
to do was to have the matter investi-
gated in due form by committee. To
this he readily consented. and express
ed a desire that ii be done as quickly
as possible. l appointed an investi-
eating committee consisting of RevS.
NJ. NJ Brabham. d. NJ. Mcleod and
:. ID. Bailey. They very carefully in
veStigated the matter, and reported
that a trial was deemed necessary.
There was nothing of a ScandaliZing
nature charged by either Mrs. Mills
or Mr.. Mills. The sole specification in
the charge being that Mr.. Mills had
separated from his wife for other than
the one Scriptural reason. The above
is. in brief. a fair statement of the
case. T. c. O'Dell, Presiding Elder.
