Tank Exploded.

Rock Hill, June 24.-Max Bryant,
Jr., of this city, was severely cut on
the arm this morning at the Sims
Drug company while charging a soda
fountain tank. Mr.. Bryant, with the
assistance Of a negro boy, was in the
back of the store charging the tank
when it exploded and injured the ne
gro boy very seriously. The tank tore
all to pieces as it exploded. Several
physicians were summoned at once
and soon had the negro's wounds
dressed and the places sewed up, and
the last report from him was that
he was doing as well as could be ex-
pected.

Card from Col. Folk.

Mr.. Editor:-I wish to thank
"Land Owner" for the expression OF
approval of the Torrens system OF
land registration which 1, as a can
didate for the Senate, am advocat-
ing.
am determined to give the land
owners of our county protection IN
the possession of their property from
expensive litigation if I am elected
and it is possible to do so. I am
satisfied that the Torrens system,
which I have made study of, is the
remedy, and that when we become
accustomed to this system we will
look back and wonder how we en-
dured the present old custom for so
many generations.
There are other matters OF great
importance to the taxpayers OF our
county which have come to my
knowledge while serving as county
treasurer for more than ten years
which I shall call to the attention
of the taxpayers. To these the rem
edy must also be applied If the con-
dition is to be improved, and I as
sure the citizens of our county that
if I am elected I will have such laws
made as will secure for us dollars
worth for every dollar of our money
spent. Respectfully,
JOHN F. FOLK.
