came to his death from causes un-

Died In Cuba.
Rock Hill special of October 81 to
News and Courier: News was re-
ceiyed here today Of the death in Cuba
of Mr.. Frank Westbrook, whose par
ents live five miles southeast Of this
city. Just how his death occurred
twelve days ago Is not known. His
body was found in a creek on the
ranch of the Cuba Carolina company
a corporation in which Messrs. c. E
Spencer and w. B. Wilson Of this
county, are interested, where young
Westbrook was employed. He had
been roping some steers and 1t was
not altogether plain that he had not
been dragged and killed in that way
He was the second son Of Mr.. ]. w
Westbrook, a highly respected citizen
of the Mount Holly nelghborhood.
Two of the Glidden Tourists.
Mr.. James L. McGhee and wife OF
Jacksonville, Fla, with the Glidden
tourists party from New York to At
lanta, fell behind a little at Charlotte,
got started wrong and went down to
Pineville, Fort Mill and Rock Hill, and
came to Yorkville on Sunday. Because
Of the rain they decided to stop over
in Yorkville until yesterday morning,
when they set out to hit the national
highway at Blacksburg by way 0f
Piedmont springs or the Kings Noun
tain battle-ground, according to which
way they should be directed by Mr.. ].
L. McGill at Bethany. Mr.. McGhee
did not seem at all annoyed by his
mishap in taking the wrong road out
Of Charlotte; but was disposed to look
at the matter quite philosophically
He said he was surprised at the evil
dences of thrift and prosperity to be
seen through this section, which seem
to be far ahead Of much Of the coun-
try through which the so-called ma
tional highway passes. And your
roads, too, are much better than some
Of the boasted roads farther north"
