STACY Home IS
C0NDEMND TO Be
BURNED BY CITY
Home for Aged Occupants Is
Sought; Place Declared a
Menace to Health in
Surroundings

Numerous complaints from passers-
by and an investigation by County
Physician j. c. McNeese and DR.. Wal
ter Hardy resulted in the condemna-
ton Of what is known as the old Stacy
homestead last week. The house is To-
Gated on the Berwyn road just at the
edge Of town. County health authori-
ties declare that the house and its
premises are a breeding place for germs
and menace to the health of the COM
munity. The place is condemned to be
burned as soon as a home can be found
for its aged occupants.
The Stacy home, If such II can be
called, was built several years ago by
throwing some goods boxes together
and roughly tacking a roof overhead
The rude structure has never seen any
Improvement and during years Of bad
weather has deterlorated until beyond
repair. Health authorities declare that
the Stacys made no attempt to clean VI
the premises. Mrs. Stacy, who, fol
several years has been a victim of con
tagious malady. Is said to have beer
kept inside Of the stuffy rooms fol
years without seeing the sunlight.
Attempt is being made to find home
for the diseased occupants and authori
ties say the place will be destroyed a
the earliest possible date

that the properties drilled with but one

In other words, there is no good
foundation for the expectation that any
widely spaced property will ever make
more money out of high priced oil than
that property would have made had it
been drilled with close spacing. Fur
thermore, the property which is drilled
with close spacing will recover a very
large quantity of oil during the first
two years of production which would
never be recovered from one-well-to-lO-

Believes They Will Win.

Talking the other day to railroad
engineer about the strike of the shop
men. For obvious reasons his name
will not be mentioned. He seemed to
have such a clear idea Of the situation,
however, that his views are worth
while as showing the general trend of
sympathy.
1.-THE shopmen are going to win this
fight" he said. 'They are bound to
win it, and l want them to win It.
However the public may see it, we
railroad workers are in full sympathy
with the strikers. The fact is we look
upon it as being as much our fight as
theirs. We consider that from the
standpoint of the executives, it is
fight against labor. If the shopmen
are licked, then the axe will fall on
the engineers, conductors and firemen.
The shopmen are fighting our fight.
We are standing hands off so long as
the railroad fights fair; but we are not
going to allow any dirt-not us. But
the shopmen are going to win. Even
now, more than a third of the engines
that are running on the Southern are
in unlawful condition. The engines
are not safe. After five regular engi-
neers had refused to take n certain
unfit engine out of Asheville one night
last week on n night passenger run,
another man did undertake the run
and the sixteen hour law caught him
before he had gotten twenty-five miles.
There are thirty or forty idle engines
in the Spencer, N. c., yards that could
be put into commission with a few
hours of work each. The road Is hurt
ing for want of them. 1t is a common
belief that Fairfax Harrison has no
sympathy with the railroad labor
board in this fight, and that if the
matter was left to him it would be
settled in twenty-four hours. Business
was never better on the Southern than
when the strike broke out, and there
are many men who believe that before
much longer Mr.. Harrison will settle
the whole matter so far as the Southern
is concerned, by giving the men what
they want. But anyhow, believe the
shopmen are going to win, even If 1t
should be- necessary for all the rest of
us to go out"

Disorders at Dance.

Numbers of members of the Rock
Hill chapter Of the International Order
of the Sons of Rest who have little to
do except sit around in public places
from morning until night Cabling and
gossiping have been chewing the rag
for the past few days relative to
dance held in the metropolis q few
nights ago. According to street talk,
it was as much of a free for-all fight
as it was dance, several fisticuffs oc-
curing during the evening social. Ac-
cording to the stories there was much
liquor about and some of the ladies as
well as the men had a few nips. One
young Rock Hill man was pretty badly
beaten up by several out Of town
guests when he demonstrated relative
to their alleged disorGerly conduct in
the rear of the dance hall. Another
Rock Hill man, according to stories
being told on the streets, mixed up
with fellow dancer when the second
one refused to "break" with a lady
with whom he was dancing in favor
of the first. According to the story
the man who sought to break" didn't
like the manner in which the gentle
man who refused the break" resisted
his overtures and struck out Justify,
knocking the other to the floor and
causing a small panic. 1t was quite q
row from all reports. There were
many present and dealers in shine did
good nights business.

ga The most patient man is a resi-
dent of Buenos Aires. With only a file
he has worked eleven years in making
n miniature locomotive of scrap iron.
The locomotive can be operated under
its own power by the use Of compress
cd air. The iron was not heated In
the making, but was worked cold. A
small coal tender and passenger coach
were made at the same time and the
whole thing is little more than six
feet in length and weighs 40 pounds.
More than 1900 screws and 1000 riv-
cts were used in the work. The train
is complete to the last tiny detail and
is built on the model of the equipment
used on the British railroads of that
country.
