Mr J. J. Hull, Editor of tlie Herald,
mill ltoek Hill's Esteemed
Mayor, Dciul.
Mr. J. J. Hull, editor of the
Herald snd Mayor or the city of
Rock Hill, who has been a forest <
sufferer for several months past, <
died at 7:30 p. m., Monday and 1
his remains were interred at Rock 1
Hill yesterday afternoon. This <
will be sad news to his many
friends at this place and throughout
Lancaster county, where he
was well known and highly cs
teemed, having lived in Lancaster
a number of years.
The Ledger feels deep sorrow at
the news of Mr. Hull's death.
Ilis long connection with this
paper as foreman in the days of
his young manhood and his having
lived in the editor's family
during that time, made him feel
very near to us. We extend our
deepest sympathy to his bereaved
wife and family.
From the Rock Hill correspondence
of The State of yesterday
we tuke the following:
mayor hull's carkkr.
Joseph J. Hull was the son of
William 11 nil and was born in
Charlotte in May, 1851. When
he was but a child the family removed
to Chester, where in 1 S64
his father died. In that year with
his mother lie returned to Charlotte,
where be began to learn the
trade of the printer. lie was one
of those who helped to get out the
first number of the Charlotte
Observer in 1869.
In that same year Mr Hull went
to Lancaster to Live and there
married, his wife hcing Miss Sue
Boyd, daughter of Mr J. 1L Boyd.
In 187S he went to Chester again,
there becoming one of the organizers
of the Chester Bulletin. He,
however, remained in Chester but
one year and in 1879 he returned
to Lancaster to take up newspaper
work as one of the originators
of the Lancaster Review.
In 1882 in response to a flattering
offer from Mr. J. M. Ivy of
Rock Hill he came to this place
to be with the Rock Hill Herald.
That paper was then own9d by Mi
Ivy but was bought by Mr Hull
upon the death of that gentleman
andeonducted by him uninterruptedly
ever since. His career was
thus marked by wide influence in
the field of journalism, a field for
which he had both taste and talent
and in which his sense of the ap
propriate and high conception of
the dignity and importance of his
calling found expression in the
broadest and most elevating manner.
In 1902 Mr. Hull was elected
as alderman at large, while sick at
homo, and answering to the call
of his neighbors he thus entered
local politics, giving it his time
and consciencious attention.
Since that date he was identified
officially with the growth of the J
city in many ways. On January
8ih, 1903, he was chosen mayor
and again with sacrifico of private
interest devoted his energies to
the conscicncious discharge of his 1
office. In January of this year ,
he was again elected to the office r
of mayor by a gratifying majori- 1
ty* 1
Mr Hull leaves his aged moth- .
cr, three sisters and two brothers; ^
three daughters and three sons, (
Mrs H. T. 1' arkcr of liishopvilla, 1
Misses Kdna and Iva, and Otis, "
Orin and Boyd Hull of Rock Hill. *
A sister of the deceased married ^
Mr. J. J. Cor mack, foreman of [
the mechanical department of The p
M#
State. He was a Mason and a
"nembcr of tlu Knights of Pythiis,
Knights of Honor, Woodmen
>f the wot Id, Fraternal Union of
America and other organiza- J
lions.
As a friend and neighbor Mr
Hull was kind-hearted, thoughtful
and generous. lie was a man
whoso sympathies were easily to
be aroused, but whose adherence t
to a principle and his conception ?1
of duty was unfaltering. His a
illness was long and to all others d
felt to be hopeless, but to tho suf- fcrer
himself, up to the last few !
days, there was always the thought r
of ultimate recovery. His mala- '
dy was complex, tho heart, the ^
liver and other organs all being >
affected. '1

New Orleans, July 31 ?New
cases up to 0 p. M , 5. Total *
deaths to date, 02. New foci, 5. 1
Total foci, 40. Ca-es to date 304
Of the five deaths reported (
above three occurred in the emergency
hospital and all five bore c
Italian names.
Another new case was discovered
out side of the city, being
that of an Italian who left
here a week ago with several
others and tookjup his residence
in Morgan City. On their arrival
there they were quarantined
and ono of them was taken sick 1
four days ago. Today Dr. Tar- 1
leton, president of the St. Mary '
parish board of health, Dr, Golberg
of the marine hospital
service and two Morgan City r
physicians diagnosed the ease as
yellow fever and it was so an- e
no'unced.
Nothing has been heard from 1
Dr. Brady, who has gone to lake 1
providence, opposite vickshurg,
to investigate reports of two hub- *
picious cases there. '
Optimistic Views.
By the end of the present week
the authorities in charge of the ,
yellow fever situation believe (
that they will be able to announce ,
that the scourge can bo oradica- ted
before the coming of frost. x
Daily the system of inspection r
ind report is becoming more per- c
feet and in a few days more new j
sases traceable to the original in- c
fection may be expected. ^
Communication with the infec- r
ad quarter ha9 stopped except j
for those whoso business requires
their presence whore the fever has 1
raged most fiercely. 3
Many people are leaving New I
Drleans, but tho groat bulk of the s
aity's population is still here, and
apparently to stay until the mos1
uito theory is proved or frost c
aomes. '
Three deaths occurred in the e
emergency hospital today, the c
number of patients in which has ^
been largely increased. (Jhair* .
man Janvier of the general citi- ^
'.en's committed today expressed c
aimself optimistically, expresing o
:onfidence that the fight would be n
successful and conclusively de- 0
nonstrato that the mosquito was
he only agent of transmission.
