men, a man who is doing a noble work
| for part of the state militia of the
| state. The man in question is DR.. M
]. Walker of Yorkville, who is devot-
ing his time at present in vaccinating
| the members Of the First South Caro-
lima regiment for the prevention OF
| typhoid fever at his own expense. DR.
Walker was in Rock Hill last Tuesday
bers of company H. In order to make
the men absolutely free from conta-
gion, it requires three separate visits
and this means that DR.. Walker will
visit each company in the regiment
three separate times. 80. There will
be a picnic and educational rally at
LESLIE on July 4th for the purpose of
arousing more interest in the subject
of school consolidation. Addresses
will be made by a number OF men well
versed in educational matters, among
them being Supt. j. E. Swearingen,
Prof. w. H. Hand and Prof. w. K.
Tate of Columbia, and Pres. D. B.
Johnson of this city. 1t is earnestly
hoped that the rally will be a success
and that the citizens Of the community
at large may be made to more fully
ed from the consolidation of the
schools. Dinner will be served on the
grounds and II is hoped that those at
tending will bring well filled baskets.
..... Mayor John T. Roddey is spend
ing a few days in the city looking af-
ter his business interests. Mr.. Roddey
and his family are spending the sum-
mer at Winchester, Va. Mr.. Roddey Is
working on a splendid thing for Rock
Hill and prospects seem very bright
to secure it. The National Humane
society in all probability will give to
Rock Hill a $1,000 drinking fountain.
Mr.. Roddey will leave for New York
between the Sth and 10th of July on
this business. Mr.. Roddey also in
forms the Herald that the detailed re-
ports, regarding the railroad shops
have not as yet been completed, but he
would be advised when they are, which
it is hoped will not be very long. He
is working hard for the shops and he,
in all probability, will succeed in get
ting what is badly needed here, an en-
largement of the shops. 80. Mr.. John
Jenkins is now with the Equitable Life
Assurance society where he is to work
life insurance, and he is now Mr.. Rod
dey's supervisor Of agents in South
Carolina. He will, however, be closely
connected with the insurance depart
ment Of the First Trust and Savings
bank and will be glad to serve his for
mer patrons as before. His headquar-
ters will be in Rock Hill and his prin-
cipal business will be to have super
vision Of the agents of Mr.. Roddey's
Equitable agency. This Is quite pro-
well for a man who has only been ac-
lively engaged in the insurance busi-
ness little over four years, and shows
the great confidence and high esteem
the company. Mr.. Jenkins has made
quite record in the insurance field,
having written for the Equitable Life
through the agency Of the First Trust
and Savings Bank for the first six
months of 1911 over $15O,0OO. On ac-
count Of this splendid record Mr.. Jen-
kins won a membership in the South
ern Century club of the Equitable and
also won a trip to Atlantic Beach, CIV
en- by the Equitable to agents who
would write 100000 and over during
that period. From present indications,
we predict brilliant future in the in
surance business for Mr.. Jenkins. Mr..
Jas. Hardin has been appointed as
manager of the insurance department
of the First Trust and Savings Bank.
He is also a very valuable man. This
appointment shows that he has won
success and that he has done his work
we'll since he has been connected with
the National Union Bank. He is quite
a popular young man and has unusual
ability. He will be assisted in his
work by Mr.. William Thomson, who
also is exceedingly popular, and with
the strong pair together, with the as
sistance Of Mr.. Jenkins, the insurance
business no doubt will continue to
grow.
