= At a special meeting Of Bethel
Presbytery held in the First Presby
terian church here last Tuesday 1t
was decided to expel Rev. D. A. Miller,
former pastor of Liberty Hill church,
from the ministry. The Presbytery
met Tuesday to hear the report Of
special committee to investigate
charges of immortality against the
minister. The recommendation of the
committee which made it's report was
followed by vote of the Presbytery
finding him guilty Of disgraceful and
heinous conduct. Rev. Miller was
present but made no defense. The
Presbytery although expelling the de-
fendant from the ministry left the
door open for his reinstatement at
some time in the future If his conduct
warranted, it was stated. He had not
been preaching for some time past, it
was learned.
R. e. Montgomery, recently ap-
pointed health officer for the town
said Tuesday that he has simply been
amazed by what he has found since
he has begun his rounds of inspection.
His Investigations have revealed to
quarters that is simply shocking.
There are numbers Of surface closets
especially on the outskirts Of the town
that are open and unscreened and af-
fording all that could be desired as a
place for the breeding Of disease. In
many instances chickens are allowed
to range at will among this refuse
while residents don't hesitate to kill
the chickens for table use as occasions
might warrant. Piles Of debris in
back lots, water soaked and damp,
are heaven for malaria bearing mos
quitoes. The health officer has only
begun his inspection work; but he has
seen enough already to convince him
that cleaning up this town is going to
be one great task. However the
board Of health is determined that they
are going to do it and they are making
their plans to carry out the work to q
successful conclusion.
j. d. Butler, alleged underworld
character Of Rock Hill, was in the
county Jail yesterday doing a sentence
Of thirty days, having been convicted
by Magistrate Black of speeding on
the public highways and sentenced to
serve thirty days or pay $50. Butler
forfeited bond Of $50 on similar
charge in mayors court here Wednes-
day. 1t was expected that some of his
in In
the money over to pay the fine assess
ed by the magistrate before he has
served very long. Several days ago
officers here received information from
Gastonia that an automobile filled with
liquor, decribed as "a wine colored
carr was headed toward Yorkville and
to be on the lookout. Deputy Sheriff
Tom Quinn, Magistrate Black and Of
ficer Faulkner drove up Kings Noun
tain street scouting for the contra
band. The alleged liquor car said to
have been an Anderson" observed
the officers and the driver decided to
make n run for it. Being in lighter

officers to do except to clear the road
and this they did with the result that
the big car, occupied by three men,
sped down Kings Mountain street and
South Congress and thence to East
Madison at q terrific rate of speed.
Rock Hill officers were notified but the
alleged rum runners managed to get
into town and unload their cargo of
mountain, shine Chief Steele continu-
ed his Investigations quietly until he
learned that j. d. Butler was the
driver of that car; but the chief could
not connect him with any liquor trans
action; nor could he connect the other
two men whose names were learned.
Magistrate Black issued a warrant for
Butler and the town authorities got
him too. He forfeited a $50 bond to
the town and 1t is expected that gang
sters will soon pay over the other $50
assessment to the magistrate.
