Chester Reporter, July 8: The To-
cal water situation bade fair to be-
come decidedly serious Friday after
noon when the public works committee
of the city council, after notifying
householders and others Of their in
tended action, ordered the water to be
cut off at o'clock. However, the gen.
erous rains of Saturday morning filled
Sandy rivers channel, and 1t was found
possible to turn on the water again
The situation was decidedly one OF
the most critical in the city's History
..... Mr.. Fred Hope, one Of the pop

company, met with a painful accident
Friday in the vicinity Of Leeds while
out on a collecting trip. Mr.. Hope. ac-
companied by a colored driver, was
thrown out of the wagon when the
horse took fright and ran away; and
it was miraculous that both were not
badly crippled up. AS it was Mr.. Hope
had one of his legs badly sprained
about the knee, and will be laid up for
several days. The driver escaped
without serious mishap. The new
marriage license law went into effect
Saturday, and in a number Of counties
| there were applications for licenses
Judge j. H. Mcdaniel, however, has
not been applied to as yet by the ma
trimonially inclined, but doesn't think
it will be long before he will have ap-
plications. In Lexington county, Con-
gresham A. F. Lever was the first to
apply for a license. Alex Rose
borough and Jim Dye, both colored,
were arraigned at mayors court this
morning on the charge of selling IL
quor; but at the request Of counsel
for the accused the case was continued
until Friday afternoon, at which time
a jury will be empaneled and the
case heard Mr. Sam E. McFadden is
attorney for Roseborough and Mr.. Da-
vid Hamilton represents Dye. Hon.
]. E. Swearingen, state superintendent
of education, has been suggested as
highly suited to be Gov. Blease's sue
cessor next year. Mr.. Swearingen is
no doubt a man of marked ability; but
Hon. Thos. G. Mcleod of Bishopville,
in the opinion of most people, is des-
tined to take up headquarters in the
governors mansion in January, 1913.

fice Mr.. Hardin is a son Of Mr.. Adam
Hardin and is well known young far
mer. Alice Dye, colored, was COM
mitted to Jail Saturday on a warrant
charging her with larceny. 1t seems
that she was employed as cook by a
certain white family, and made use Of
her opportunity to enter the room OF
boarder and steal 500 from his cloth
ing, or at least that is the charge
against her.

friends will be glad to know that Mr..
B. F. S. Austin, superintendent of the
Ozark mills who has been confined to
the city hospital for some days as the
result Of injuries sustained in an auto
accident, is able to be down on the

. Mr.. ]. E. Cloninger of route one,

visitors in Gastonia. He says the crop
prospects in his section are the poor

conditions this summer. ..... Mr.. r. D.
