Death of Mrs. Matte Kendrick.

Mrs. Matte Kendrick, widow
of j. Fox Kendrick, well
known citizen of the Steel Creek
section of Mecklenburg county.
who has been dead about ten
years, died suddenly at her home
in Rock Hill Friday evening.
Mrs. Kendrick had been sick
about "a hours. Apoplexy is
given as the cause of her death.
Mrs. Kendrick moved from
Steel Creek to Rock Hill some
years ago to be convenient to
Winthrop college, from which
a number of her daughters have
graduated, and has since resided
in that city. She was an esti-
mable Christian woman, being a
member of the Baptist church.
Her home was formerly in the
Flint Hill section of Fort Mill
township and she was the
daughter of the late ]. Leonidas
Erwin. Mrs. Hendricks mother
was, before her marriage, a Miss
Black, of Bethesda township.
Mrs, Kendrick had been in
good health until Friday morn
ing, when she complained of not
being we'll and consulted a phy-
sician, who pronounced the
trouble as indigestion. Later in
the evening one of her neighbors
was sitting with her when Mrs.
Kendrick suddenly covered her
face with her hands, exclaiming.
"Oh, my headW She fell for

is survived by six children. The
children are: Mrs. w. c.. Owen.

NATIONAL CHAIRMAN MACK
PREFERS NEW Y0RK'S MAYOR

Mayor Gayner, of Greater
New York, Governor Harmon

Joseph w. Folk, of Missouri. at

conspicuous possibilities for the
Democratic nomination for
President in 1912 in the opinion
OF Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo.
chairman of the Democratic
national committee. While
making it clear that he is not
giving any particular attention
to the matter, Mr.. Mack saws
that he is interested in the record
Mayor Gaynor is making.
L find Democrats everywhere
discussing the mayor, said Mr..
Mack. His readiness to do the
right thing at the right time has
already demonstrated that he
can be trusted to administer
safely the business of the
country.
But there are many good
candidates this year and we
never had a more encouraging
outlook. Governor Folk is a
good man and a strong man. and
L am glad he has come out
openly as a candidate. The
platform he has outlined is a
good one,. but, of course, | cannot
say whether the national con-
vention will adopt it. Governor
Harmon is a strong candidate.
l hardly think Mr.. Bryan will
run again in 1912. We do not
expect him to run and | do not
think he expects to be a candi-
date. Mr.. Bryan is a young
man, however, and there is no
reason why he should not lead
the party in 1916"

Japanese Walnuts.

Mr.. D. K. Hall, magistrate
for the Belair and Pleasant
Valley sections of Lancaster
county, was in Fort Mill Monday
morning and told The Times of
two Japanese walnut trees which
are now growing on his planta-
ton in Pleasant Valley. The
trees were put out about seven
years ago and the yield last year
amounted to about a bushel and
a half from each tree. The
Walnuts grow in clusters of about
a dozen and are not dissimilar to
the English walnuts sold by
fruiterers in this country, being
OF like size and almost the same
flavor. The trees are heavily
truited this year and promise a
greater yield than last year. Mr..
Hall finds a ready market for the
walnuts in Fort Mill.

did it. Not a run did they get
