Local Interest.

Local intcTeSt.
Lancaster News, April %: Mr..
John T. Green went to Columbia yes
terday morning, carrying with him
his son, Frank, to see DR.. F. A. Cow
ard, a specialist, for the treatment of
hydrophobia. Frank had beautiful
setter dog which had become affected
with what the young man had been
, told was black tongue" and he was
advised to wash the dogs mouth
out with a solution of alum water.
He accordingly washed the dogs
mouth with the solution using his hand
instead of a mop. This was on Thurs
day last. The next day the dog broke
his chain and after running around
in the neighborhood dashed off to Bear
creek, Jumped in and then ran on back
and snapped at old man Saul Vaughn
who was working in his field. Saul,
believing the dog to be mad, got his
gun and killed him. Frank has an
abrasion on his hand, but does not
know whether it was caused by the
dogs teeth or not. AS the dog showed
indications of having hydrophobia, Mr..
Green wisely concluded to take no
risk and carried Frank to the special
ist for examination.
Chester Reporter, April %: The
accident to Browns bridge across
Rocky creek between Richburg and
Rossville proved not to be at all
serious, a new cap-sill having already
been put in by Mr.. ]. M. Boulware,
and the bridge now being deemed alb
solutely safe. The span which COL
lapsed was at the far end over the
bottoms, and the team instead OF be-
ing precipitated into the stream as
was first stated was eased down by
the broken timbers and walked down
in safety. The wagon was broken,
but not seriously. Mrs. Carrie
Carter died at her home in the Ar
menia section Saturday afternoon,
and was laid to rest in Liberty grave
yard yesterday afternoon after fu-
neral services by Rev. ]. S. Snyder.
Mrs Carter was a devout member Of
the Baptist church and was most
highly esteemed by a wide circle or
friends and acquaintances. She was
about seventy years OF age and leaves
three sons, Messrs. ]. B. R., ]. H., and
Hope Carter. ... Ernest Crosby,
negro who has been wanted in Ches-
ter county for some time past on the
charge of enticing labor, was arrest
ed Saturday evening by Deputy Sheriff
Bendiman and committed to jail.
Crosby is said to have been very
active in securing labor, and the case
against him is said to be very strong.
Capt. Alexander Smythe was
stricken with paralysis a few days
ago while on q visit at the home
of Mrs. S. M. McAfee, Of r. F. D. 2,
and is in a serious condition, although
he shows some signs Of Improvement.
Gaffney Ledger, April %: Sidney
Bird, the Gaffney negro, charged with
opening a registered letter not in
tended for him and taking therefrom
81, was tried before the United States
court at Greenville on Saturday and
was sentenced to six months in the
Cherokee county. Jail. Witnesses for
the prosecution were Messrs. Edwin
Stacy and U. G. Hester, Of the local
postoffice.. Montgomery Wilkins.
the little son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. j.
wilkins, was so unfortunate as to
have his jaw bone broken while play
ing baseball at the Central graded
school on Friday. Medical assistance
was at once summoned and the injury
attended to. Master Montgomery
seems to be particularly unfortunate
in having his bones broken, having
had both arms broken in the past.
A pretty wedding occurred in the
Grassy Pond church Sunday when Miss
Susie Black, of the Grassy Pond Sec
tion, and Mr.. Jesse Jones, of Lati-
more, n. c., were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. The ceremony
was performed in a very solemn and
impressive manner by Rev. A. T..
Stoudenmyre, pastor of the church.
A large number of friends and rela-
tives of the contracting parties wit
messed the ceremony. The fire bell
rang Friday about noon and it was
discovered that a small frame house
on Cherokee avenue the property Of
Mr.. ]. Eb Jefferies and occupied by a
Mr.. Martin, was on fire. The fire de-
partment was not necessary for ex-
tinguishing the small blaze. ....... A
stranger was heard to remark on a
train a few days ago that there must
be some awful liars in Gaffney as he
was continually seeing a Gaffney date
line over some story in the daily papers
of the state. 1t is not that Gaffney
newspaper men are so proficient in
prevaricating and deviating from the
lines of truth, but the fact that Gaff-
ney is a prolific news centre. In fact,
it might be said that for the newspa
per men, life in Gaffney is just one
beautiful thing after another.
