Death Of Henry Porter.
Mr.. Henry Porter, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. R Porter, Of Yorkville, died
suddenly about 130 o'clock Sunday af-
ternoon at the home Of his brother-in-
law at the Lockmore mill village. The
young man had just eaten his dinner
and was talking with members Of his
family when he suddenly fell backward
and died before any one could reach
him. Acute indigestion is supposed to
have been the cause Of death. The
young man was little more than 21
years Of age, having been born in Co.
lumbia on October 20, 1892. For the
past few months he has been in the
employ Of the York Publishing Co., Of
Yorkville. He was married about four
weeks ago to Miss Cleo Warlick, of
Yorkville Besides his wife he is sur
vived by his father and mother, three
brothers and four sisters. The inter
ment was in Rose Hill cemetery yes
terday afternoon, following funeral ser
vices at the home, conducted by Rev.
T. T. Walsh, assisted by Rev. Dr.. E, E.
Gillespie.
Commission government For Rock Hill
Rock Hill is to have commission
form of government If a majority Of
the voters so say, a bill introduced
by Mr.. Hutchison and passed by house
and senate, was vetoed by the govern
or, who called the proposition rank
Republicanism." When the question
came up of passing the bill over the
governors veto, Mr.. Hutchison made
a hard fight in which he argued that
it was not proposed to legislate any
body out of office, and the new form
was not to be adopted except upon
vote of the people. The governors
veto was overridden by vote Of 62 to
21. The principal feature Of the COM
mission idea Is the election of con-
trolling officials for long period, and
the difficulty of changing the COM
plexion of a council after it has once
been elected For instance, when
three men are elected for terms Of
two, four and six years, If all three
be Of the same shade Of politics, the
policy of the government is certainly
settled for four years, and as the most
that can be expected Of any election Is
the hope of change two years after
ward, the inducement of the outs to
make a stiff fight is reduced to min
imum. The old system keeps the con-
trolling officials closer to the people
and admits of frequent changes.
