Fort Mill Times, Oct. 6: ]. D. OCon-
neh and his two sisters, Misses Juha
md Mary O'Connell of Fort Mill, re-
ceiyed Saturday the distressing news
of the death of their sister, Miss Jo-
annes O'Connell, in Tien Tsin, China'
on August "a, of pneumonia. Sister
Joannes, as she was known in religious
circles, was a sister of charity and
had worked as a missionary in emma
since 1S9S She was il the city OF
Tien Tsin at the time of the BeXer
uprising and three times narrowly es-
capped death by shells exploding In
her bed room. AS a reward for her
great zeal in nursing wounded Rus
sian soldiers during the uprising, the
late car of Russia had special med
nj stamped and presented to Sister
'Joannes. Sister Joannes was born IN
Columbia about So years ago and al
ter the Civil war was pupil or the
late Col. A. r. Banks and is remem-
'bered by many of her former school
mates of Fort Mill, to whom the an
'nouhcement Of her death will bring
genuine sorrow. Besides her brother
and sisters living In Fort Mil she Is
also survived by a brother in Rich
rnond. va, Bishop Dennis ]. O'Connell
OF the Catholic diocese Of Richmond.
State Constable Horace Johnson
drove into Fort Mill Tuesday evening
carrying in the rear seat of his Ford
car a nquor still, made OF a tin clothes
boiler, he had captured few hours
before on the old Beatty Matthews
MACE in Ebenezer township near the
dam OF the ,Southern Power company.
The other part Of the capture, one
Tillman Haynes, negro, he had Locked
up IN Rock Hill in default of a 500
bond. No ,liouor was captured with
the still and the negro, but a consid-
erable quantity Of mash was found at
the negros house which was destroyed
by the officer. Mr.. Johnson said he
found the still, after searching for
several hours about, in and under the
house Haynes was living in and in
the woods nearby, ingeniously hid-
den undel. the floor of the negTo's corn
crib on which there was a Pile OF
corn in the shuck. STOPPING down he
saw, a suspicious looking object whi"n
he pulled from underneath the floor
with a hoe. This proved to be a part
OF the worm. After discovering the
worm he had little trouble in locating
the still, which looked as If 1t had
been in service for some time. Haynes
OF course is in trouble as a result OF
the officers activity and unless some
of his white friends come TO his rescne
the chances are he won't be able TO
pick any 90 cent cotton this fall or
plant any next spring for the Ehenezer
variety of boil weevil to eat up.."~.........
