charge of breaking into Whiteside's
restaurant. Some eatables were taken
from the store. Pinder is now in jail.
The store of Mr.. ]. B. Gardner
on Gadsden street in the heart Of the
business district was entered some
time last night and robbed of some
5000 worth of jewelry, including brace
let's, rings and watches. Entrance was
effected by tearing off some boards on
a rear window of the store. The thief
made a complete haul, taking almost
everything of value and affecting a
heavy blow on Mr.. Gardner. The rob-
berry was first discovered when the
store was opened for business this
morning. +. . Through its attorney, Mr..
r. L. Douglas, the county of Chester
has entered suit against the S. A. l..
railway for $3.50 for failure to make
improvements on the trestle across
Pinckney road just beyond the Wylie
mill. Repeated complaints have been
made by the county to the railroad
officials in regard to the dangerous
character of this trestle. Numerous
promises have been made by the OFF,
cials of the road to have the desired
improvements made, but nothing was
ever done. On June 9th, 1910, notice
was given the S, A. L. railroad that
these improvements must be made in
sixty days, and as a consequence en-
gineers were sent here by the railroad
and it was agreed that the improve
ments would be made at once, Moth
ing has ever been done, however, since
that time, although numerous letters
have been written in regard to the
matter. A penalty Of from five to
twenty-fiv dollars for every twenty
four hours after the notice Is served,
is allowed by the law, and after the
sixty days have been deducted the
county claims a penalty for 400 days
at 500 a day, making total Of $3.50.
Lancaster News, September 27: Mr..
Frank Moser, a young man, met with
bad accident Friday evening, his
right hand being caught in the Helms
gin on the Sistare place north Of Lam
caster. Portions of two fingers were
cut off and the remaining ones badly
mangled. He was brought to town,
where his wounds were dressed by DR..
Foster. Mr.. Walter Mothershed, a
young man Of the Creek section, brcxe
the cotton picking record last Friday
by picking 555 pounds Of the staple In
eleven hours. Mr.. Mothershed is a
brother of Mr.. w. F. Mothershed Of the
same community, who in five success
sive days recently picked 1000 pounds
of cotton, an average Of 400 pounds a
day, stopping work every afternoon an
hour before sunset. The young cotton
picking experts are sons Of Mr.. James
R Mothershed.. The plea for bet
ter, more accommodating passenger
schedule on the Southern railway
company's road traversing this section
of the state, which the News has been
advocating for some time, will. we are
pleased to note, likely soon be granted.
Mr.. w. E. McGee Of Charleston, the
company's affable division passenger
agent, called to see US yesterday MORN
ing in regard to the matter. Mr.. Nc
Gee informed us that the change In
schedule contemplated is to have the
train which now leaves Columbia at
11.05 a. m, arriving at Lancaster at
1926 D. m, to leave the capital city at
$50 a. m, arrive at Lancaster at 9.12
a. m. and at Rock Hill at 1890 a. m.
Returning, the train will leave Rock
Hill at 1 p. m, arrive at Lancaster at
2 p. m. and at Columbia at $40 p. m.
The proposed new schedule will be
decided improvement over the one now
in operation, as it will enable persons
south of Lancaster to come here and
return the same day, giving them
about five hours stay in Lancaster
and that, too, during the principal
business or banking hours. Among
the advantages Of the proposed change
is the fact that the Charleston and
Columbia morning daily papers will
arrive in Lancaster several hours ear
lier than they do now. The Southern
railway officials have certainly earned
the appreciative thanks of Lancaster
and the country generally by the
promptness with which they have TAX
en- up and favorably considered the
appeal for a better schedule.
Gastonia Gazette, September 26: At
an early hour this morning at his
home on Columbia street, Mr.. w. A.
Wilson suffered a stroke of paralysis
which left him in quite a critical con-
dition. Mr.. Wilson, who has been in
somewhat feeble health for the past
year, was out in the yard looking after
his chickens when he fell and became
helpless. His little grandson, who was
with him, called other members Of the
family, who carried Mr.. Wilson into
the house and called a physician. EX-
animation showed that the right side
power of speech affected. On account
of Mr.. Wilson's age and feebleness his
condition is considered quite critical.
An event of unusual interest to q
large number Of Gastonians will be the
marriage Of Mr.. Arthur Cummings
Jones of Gastonia. and Miss Annie
Josephine Latimer at the home of the
brides mother, Mrs. James Fair Lati-
mer, at Montreal. The wedding will
