Rock Hill Record, Nov. g.: Supt. j.
E. Swearingen, Maj. w. L. Glaze, Hon.
]. E. Breazeale and Hon. D. w. Nc
Laurin, all members Of the board OF
trustees of Winthrop college, attended
the annual fall meeting here on Thurs
day night. Mr.. Swearingen spent
Thursday here visiting the Training
school and addressed the students in
chapel that morning. Mr. McLaurin
spent Friday as a visitor, also. The
Record is informed that Mr.. Suther-
land, who has been freight agent at
this place for some time past, and one
Of the best that has ever served us
here, will within the next ten days re-
turn to Hickory, n. c., and that Mr..
Robert Russell will succeed him as
agent a this place. Mr.. Russell is one
of the best posted railroad men in this
section and will no doubt fill the place
here to the entire satisfaction Of both
the railroad company and its patrons.
........A large proportion Of the stu
dent body Of Winthrop college, met on
Thursday afternoon to devise some
plan by which they might have share
in bringing relief to the suffering Bel
gians. Because Of the financial pres
sure just now, all felt that if anything
was done it would have to mean the
sacrifice of some item already reckon
ed on among the disbursements Of
their personal budgets, inasmuch as
most of the students were meeting as
many obligations as they could After
an enthusiastic discussion, 1t was de-
cided by those present that they would
eliminate Christmas-gif giving among
themselves, and thus have share in
the Belgian relief fund. So much in
terest was manifested that the liter
ary societies, the Student Government
association and the Young Women s
Christian association met at once and
voted contributions from their respec-
tive treasures. It Is impossible to say
at this time just what the fund will
amount to. Her friends will be glad
to learn that Mrs. Mary Phelps Walker
has so far recovered from her recent
spell Of typhoid fever as to be able to
resume her duties as matron Of the
east dormitory at Winthrop. "A mes
sage was received this morning by Mr..
Stoll Conner from Ross F. Roach, at
Lugoff, stating that he had shot his
brother r-in-law, a man named White.
who married Miss Culp, sister Of
Roach's wife. ..... In previous issue
Of the Record, in reporting McElwee's
changes at his store, we stated that he
had discontinued his restaurant. This
was a mistake. He has moved 1t to the
rear of the store and has a place with
seating capacity Of 40 to so. 80. Mr..
and Mrs. Sizmore, formerly Of Angus
ia, Ga, have recently purchased a
home on Standard street and are now
located there. Mrs. Sizmore before
marriage was Miss Emma Creighton Of
this county, and a sister Of Mr.. w. j.
Creighton Of Route No. 3. Mr. and
Mrs. Sizemore have a son attending
the High school here.
Gaffney Ledger, Nov. 10: One Of the
most commendable acts Of the young
men Of this city was that done by the
Baraca class of the First Baptist
church last Sunday, when they appro-
priated one hundred and fifty dollars
to build chapel on the field in China
where Rev. w. E. Crocker labors. 1t
was their original intention Of sup
porting a missionary, but Rev. MIR.
Crocker said the present need Of the
chapel was greater than the mission
ary, and they consequently gave the
money for that purpose. Not satisfied
with what they had accomplished, one
of the young men in the class suggest
ed that the chapel be named in honor
to their beloved teacher-Kate Techi-
nor Dill. .... The many friends of MIR.
Ollie Kendrick will be glad to know
that the attack Of acute indigestion
with which he was seized Saturday
morning was very light and he is able
20 be out again. There was a report
circulated Sunday morning that he
had suffered a stroke Of paralysis, but
that was a mistake. .... The compile
ton of Mr.. L. G. Potter''s home, corner
Petty street and Rutledge avenue, is
near at hand. Painters are putting on
the finishing touches. Some one eX-
pressed it admirably when they said
this was the biggest little house in
Gaffney Mr.. Potter hopes to move
within the next few weeks. ...... Mr..
E. H. Gaines, is erecting on Victoria
avenue what promises to be one of the
most unique residences in Gaffney. Mr..
Gaines has splendid taste and knows
how to plan a pretty home. 49,. Train

dent on Sunday afternoon as part OF

Chester Reporter, Nov. g: Complete
returns from the general election in
this county last Tuesday, show that
all of the amendments were defeated
except one of the two relating to the
Cedar Springs Institute for the deaf,
dumb and blind. The vote for the
amendments ranged from $50 to 400,
and the negative vote was generally
considerably in the majority. Richard
l. Manning received 65S votes for gov
ernor, and the nominees for other state
and county offices received about the
same vote. United States Senator
