For the New A. r. p. Church.
The committee recently appointed
to solicit subscriptions for the propos.
ed new Associate Reformed church
building in Yorkville, has. up to this
time raised within a few dollars Of $9,-
800. The total sum that will be re.
quired is approximately $4,000, pos.
sibly $1,000 less. OF the amount nov
in sight, nearly $4,000 has been sub
scribed from within the congregation
and about $500 has been volunteered
by friends on the outside. The Asso-
ciate Reformed congregation has un'
,dertaken big work, and has gone al
it with courage and confidence. i
does not feel that 1t has done nearly
all II will have to do or expects to do;
but at the same time 1t Is counting OF
assistance from numerous friends and
sympathizers of its own and other de-
nominations in the town and through
out this whole section. There have
already been many assurances of such
help.
County Demonstration Work.
Mr.. John R Blair, agent for the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
work in York county, says he has
about one hundred and fifty farmers
on his list as co-operators and DEM
onstrators: but he has been instructed
not to give out list Of their names
for publication. The reason Of this Is
because experience has disclosed that
there are certain unscrupulous persons
who are trying to get something fol
themselves, out of these people by un-
fair means. For instance, one concern
representing that 1t had the endorse
ment Of DR.. Knapp and State Superin-
tendent williams has been trying to
get close to the demonstrators with q
promise that under certain conditions
it would send out free seed and free
hoes. Mr.. Blair has been assured that
this concern has not the endorsement
it claims, and he thinks 1t best fol
the people in his territory not to be
deceived. They should pay no atten-
tions to any special literature, except
that which comes regularly through
Dr. Knapp or Supt. Williams.
Killed on a Driving Shaft.
William Lindsay, a young negro
man, aged about 81 or %, met a horri-
BILE death out at the York cotton MILL
on the outskirts of Yorkville yesterday
afternoon as the result Of becoming
entangled in driving shaft. The ac-
cident occurred In room In the base
ment of the building, formerly used as
wood working shop. There were
some odds and ends of lumber stored
in the shop and several men were en-
gagged in getting it out. Lindsay went
back after a plank that had previous
y been pulled out for him, and while
trying to get 1t, was caught In the re-
volving shaft, and whirled over and
over. AS he went round and round
his legs hit the low ceiling above and
the floor below. Operatives on the floor
above were attrached by the thump-
ing noise and went down to investi-
gate. The unfortunate man had been
thrown off the shaft and was lying In
a heap on the floor, still alive but un-
able to move. He lived about two
hours and recovered sufficiently to be
able to speak. He explained that in
stead Of approaching the lumber from
the side on which the shaft could be
avoided. he attempted to reach for the
plank over the shaft, and was caught.
Lindsay's arms and legs were broken
in several places and his blood was
splattered about the room in a horri-
BILE manner. The accident occurred at
2 o'clock and death followed at 4.20.
Coroner Louthian held an inquest and
the jury returned a verdict in accord
ance with the facts as they appeared.
