] no more. The end came yesterday
morning and was a shock to family
and friends, notwithstanding the fact
that he had been in failing health for
the past four years, and for the past
few months critically i'll, because he
was sitting up yesterday morning and
the grim reaper called while he was
reclining in his chair. William Acrill

1900 bales of cotton have been re-
ceived and weighed at the public
weigher's platform in this city from
this years crop to date. This is con-
siderably ahead of the receipts for this
time last year. Usually from $4,000 to
q, 900 bales of cotton are marketed on
this market every year, but the re-
ceipts this year will fall considerably
below this figure on account or the
shortness of the crop. Eleven box
cars of a freight train jumped the
track of the Southern railroad near
Winnsboro on Tuesday, tearing up the
track for a distance Of three hundred
yards. Fortunately no one was hurt
in the wreck. 1t was midnight before
the wreck was cleared and traffic re-
sumed. The northbound passenger
train due here at 5.2S. did not arrive
until a. m, and No. 81 remained here
until the wreck was cleared. No. 80,
the fast Southern flyer, was detoured
via Carlisle and came in over the
Seaboard some three hours late. A
lot of Winthrop girls were tied up and
it was midnight before they got away
for Rock Hill. Trains were running
Wednesday on schedule time. .......
Theodore Lyon, a young white boy,
just about grown, was arrested on the
charge of vagrancy as he was seen
loafing around the Wylie mills and
when warned to leave refused to go.
He was arrested and lodged in Jail and
this morning the sheriff commune
Gated with the boys mother in Savan-
nah, Ca, and found that he was a
young fellow of good family, who had
left home to seek his way alone in the
world. His mother wired him a tick
ct and he will be sent back home this
evening. Instead of the desperate
criminal, the boy was only another
sufferer of the "wanderlust," who had
tired of the restraints of home and
wandered forth to seek his way alone.
He is a young fellow Of good ap-
pearance and his experience here will
not likely be forgotten.
