Speight and Jay Adams, Joe i and Caldwell Rawlinson and Pete Erie, I of Rock Hill, came up Monday and spent the day in Yorkville. Mr. J. H. Miller, for the past seven years cashier of the first National Bank of Rock Hill, has resigned bis position on account of bad health, and has assumed the lighter duties of cashier of the Equitable Life Assurance society. Mr. - IK. Miller's resignation ?tw w,\,oj>rai UJ directors of the bank with strong expressions of regret, and no wonder. He is a thoroughgoing business man, a Christian gentleman, and withal a man who i cannot fail to win friends and inspire re- I spect and esteem. The patrons of the i bank will, for a time at least, miss his connection with the institution. He has ' been succeeded by Mr. T. L. Johnson, i who, with experience, will make a worthy successor.

The reporter has heard some talk recently about the advisability of organizing a military company in Yorkville. Those who have expressed themselves on the subject agree that a good military company is a desirable thing to have in the community ; but as to whether it would be best to organize at once or wait until later, there seems to be more or less difference of opiuion. The South Carolina College. In another column is an announcement of the South Carolina college, now under the presidency of F. C. Woodward. Prof. Woodword is a worthy successor of the { late president in all the requirements which go to make up an ideal head of j such a famous and efficient institution. ^ The balance of the faculty remains as heretofore, with the exception of an additional professor, and in its ability to carry f out all that it promises the South Carolina college stands second to no other in the south. Teachers' Institute. In another column Superintendent of * Education Shurley gives notice of the ' York County Teachers' Institute, to be ' held in Yorkville, from August 2 to 7 in- 1 elusive. The faculty for the institute is 1 to be provided by State Superintendent ' ol .Education jnayneia, auu tuere is ic?son to believe thafit will be thoroughly . competent. All of the public school 1 teachers in the country are virtually re- f quired to attend the sessions of the insti- J tute, and all other teachers who may desire to avaif themselves of the opportuni- s ty, will be welcome. Town Election. ^ The town election to fill the vacancy on the council caused by the recent resigna- ( tion of Warden Pegram, took place last Saturday pursuant to official notice. Two ^ candidates were voted for. They were Messrs. W. M. Propst and W. R. Carroll. Mr. Carroll, who is absent, was a candidate without his knowledge. Mr. Propst was a candidate under protest, and with- . out his consent. Thoueh the election passed off quietly, underlying it all there j was an unusually deep interest. In all 62 votes were cast, 32 for Mr. Propst; 29 j for Mr. Carroll, and one scattering. ' A Distressed Family. 1 The family of Mr. Wm. Kellar, on Cartwright avenue, has been sorely afflicted for several months, and is still in a distressing condition. The wife was first taken down along in January, and has been confined to her bed ever since. The ' 17-months-old boy baby died last Saturday from summer complaint, and the ' husband, who has been losing a great 1 deal of sleep waiting on the wife and I baby, has about reached the point of col- s lapse. It is hardly possible that Mrs. ( Kellar can live more than a few days < longer. The Ladies' Aid society, and < kind neighbors, are giving the case all , possible attention. I w-v- n I/CtmrCB a i/i?iucuu? ^ Rock Hill Herald, Saturday: The reg- ( ular annual meeting ol' the stock holders of the Manchester Cotton mill was held j last Tuesday evening. The affairs of this , enterprise were shown to be in tirstclass , shape and the stockholders were much gratified at the mill's success. A semi- ( annual dividend of 2 per cent., payable 1 on September 1st, was declared. The * following officers were elected: J. R. < Barron, president and treasurer ; W. M. ; Dunlap, secretary. Directors: W. L. Roddey, J. H. Miller, J. R. Barron, W. < J. Roddey, Julius Friedheim and J. B. 1 Johnson, Rock Hill; James J. Tinsley, ] Richmond; H. S. Chad wick, Charlotte, and R. H. Wylie, New York. I Working Nicely. j The new local bicycle ordinance went ] into effect last Monday, and up to the , present is working nicely enough. So far J the bicyclist have not gotten exactly accustomed to the provision requiring them to get permission to pass pedestrians; and instead of putting themselves in the | position of having to ask such pei mission, they usually leave the sidewalk at a convenient bridge and take the road for it. All of the ordinance, however, except that portion relating to bells and : lanterns, seems to be generally acceptable. Some of the riders who think they are entitled to the same rights in the road as any other vehicle, do not like the idea of being required to use lanterns, especially upou moonlight nights, when artificial )!?!<? manifestIv ntineeessarv. A Clone Call. Charlotte Observer: Mr. Egbert IIarty witnessed an accident at Gafl'ney, S. C.f Friday, which he said was the most remarkable thing he ever saw. A white man named Wilkie, who was driving in a cart along the road, started across the railroad track, not seeing, on account of a long line of box ears on jhe side track, a train bearing down upon him. The mule cleared the track, but the train struck the wagon, reducing it to kindling wood. Man and mule were thrown between the engine and the box cars, and it is supposed by those who witnessed the alarming occurence, that they were killed; but strung? to say, the only injury the man to received, was on the haud. The mule's res mout i was hurt, but otherwise, man and Ma beast were intact. Mr. Harty said it was > about as close a call as any one could ever pj| have' ??ye.

O. r REPRESENT over $27,000,000.00 L of assets in my fire insurance agency, nd I am prepared to write FIRE and 'ORNADO INSURANCE on short noce at the lowest prevailing rates. Each re policy carries with it, without extra liarge, a "lightning clause," which pro- | lets the insured against loss or damage I y lightning. I represent the Norwich . fnioti Fire Ollice of England, which is j 11 absolutely fire tested company, havig been "dragged oyer the coals" since | n>7. Then I have the .Etna of llartford, hich has been doing business at the . old stand" since 18111; the Pennsylvani is by no means a "squatter or experi- . lent," having teen "lightin' fire in all s fury" since 1825. The Delaware In- : urance company lias been pretty severe- ' / burned several times, but has mainlined its motto?"Just, Prompt, Certain" inco 1835. The Old Continental, which is ving in exile from the South-Eastern iriff association, thinks she can stand lone and work in "single harness," and ince 1853 the "old lady" has helped her tiildren to something over $35,000,000 and lie is always "at homo." Insurance left 'ith my agency will always receive rompt and careful attention. L. GEO. GRIST, Resident Agent. CROCKER YW ARE.
