Southern Power Company Reported liissausnea at vnarioiur. R". Rock Hill, April 10.?There is ; v more than a chance that Rock Hill may, in the near future, become the headquarters of the Southern Power r)'x Company, now located in Charlotte. V. It is stated on good authority that the big corporation is dissatisfied with the new amendment to the charter & of the city of Charlotte which imP?ses a 10 per cent, tax on the gross receipts of corporations doing busi[l\ ness there, and while nothing definite has been done, it is believed that the ??*' company will move its offices within a short time. E Acting on this belief the executive committee of the chamber of comiSr - merce has appointed a committee to go to Charlotte and consult with Mr. Lee, the vice president, and endeavor X - to induct them to come here. Rock Hill is the logical home of the company and it should never have been allowed to leave here until every efj * fort to retain it had been exhausted. Among the inducements to be o Tered is the fact that a syndicate stands ready to erect a $40,000 office building under plans looking specially to ?" the company's convenience and subject to its approval. In Temperance Towns. This is one of the pet stories of W. R. Smith, general attorney for the Santa Fe, says The Kansas City Star: One must almost be a Kan [; ". san to get the real chuckle out of it. A man dropped into a Kansas drug store and asked for a bottle of beer. "All right," said the druggist, reaching for the "sign-up" book. * "What reason shall I give?" "I'm not sick," said the purchaser. "Well, if you don't want it for medicinal purposes, do you want it for mechanical uses?" asked the druggist. "Sure, sure?for mechanical," was the reply. "Well, specify," went on the druggist. " 'H'm, h'm," muttered the buyer, scratching his head. "H'm?oh, yes?that's right?I want it to grease a buggy with." Marriage at Branchville. Branchville, April 10.?This morning the people of Branchville were quite surprised to hear of the quiet marriage of Mr. W. C. Martin and Miss Ruth Reeves last night at the Methodist parsonage, the Rev. E. H. Beckham officiating, only a very few intimate friends being present. Mr. Martin is the son of the Rev. W. S. Martin, of the South Carolina conference, and has been superintendent of the Branchville High School for the past two years. Mr. Martin is highly thought of by the people of this community. Miss Reeves is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Reeves, and one of the most popular young ladies of the town. ' Foil i have the goods. > iollar saved is a do "stung," for good v Shoes for Mei _?

Washington, April 10.?John G. Capers had a conference with Postmaster General Hitchcock to-day, . and Senator Smith was at the White House, but nothing could be learned as to the next move that will be made in the Florence and Spartanburg postoffice matters. t About two weeks ago the president told Representative Ellerbe that no definite action would be taken in the Florence matter until he could file aflidavits showing the unfitness of Howard Cassell, one of the candidates for the place. Since that time the matter has been at a standstill until to-day, when Senator Smith went to the White House. On coming away, however, he said there was nothing to give out in the case. In the Spartanburg matter, M. W. Floyd, who has been recommended by John Capers for the place, is still here, and will probably not leave until his nomination is sent to the senate. It has developed that there may be trouble in this case, because some of the friends of O. L. Pace, now money order clerk in the office, are desirous of seing him push his claims, as is also the case with W. F. Young, who has been assistant postmaster for a number of years. Just why Floyd's nomination is being held up is not known, as it seemed certain a week ago that he would be named as the successor to Col. Poinier at once. MR. HILL A SUICIDE. Mayor of McRae, Ga., Says Macon Attorney Took His Own Life. McRae, Ga., April 10.?In a statement nearly 1,000 words long, the mayor of this village declares tonight that Pope S. Hill, the Macon attorney found dead in an office last Monday, was not murdered, but com mitted suicide and points out tne weaknesses of the murder theory. The fact that the governor withdrew the reward after a conference with Hill's law partners is also adduced by those who believe in the suicide theory. Battle With Moonshiners. Roanoke, Va., April 9.?A special from Tazewell, Va., to The Times to-night says: "In a pitched battle between moonshiners and revenue officers in Buchanan county to-day it is be| lieved that one or more of the moonI shiners were killed. The gang of alleged outlaws were operating a whiskey distillery when surprised by the officers who began shooting as soon as the moonshiners showed fight and refused to surrender. The names of the wounded men have not been learned yet. It is reported that the distillery was operated by a man and his wife." <s "II tVe believe we can s i .. 1- V _i. liar maae.

[ TO BE THE ONLY STOB lCTION ON ALL PURCHAS RABh m HELD FOR STEALING BEARS! Alleged Indian in Lockup at Blacksburg Under Unusual Charge. Blacksburg, April 10.?Blacksburg has had a sensational bear hunt. While making his rounds some time after midnight the watchman of the J. R. Smith Carnival Shows found that two young bears had escaped from their cage, and he at once called for assistance to hunt the bears. Dogs were secured and easily trailed some distance, but suddenly lost them. After daylight, when it became generally known that the bears were out, children stayed indoors and everyone was on the lookout for bruin. About 9 o'clock Chief Duncan got a clue and it led him to Gaffney, where he found that a man had hired a team, come to Blacksburg, secured the bears and returned to Gaffney, where he hired another team and drove to Pacolet. There he, with the bears, caught a train for Carlisle and from there ne went to Whitmire. Hebrew Dies in Aiken. Aiken, April 10.?Yesterday afternoon M. Rimland, a Jewish shopkeeper, of this city, died after years of illness of consumption. He has been in Aiken for about two years. For several days he has been expected to die. Yesterday afternoon he was in the front of his store, when he was suddenly attacked. He seized a vial, said to contain carbolic acid, and drank a small quantity of 1 it. He died soon after, but it is not KoHatto/1 +V10+ ha Hronlr fha nmnnn bUUV< UV U1 MUlk VUV ? with the intention of committing suicide. The physicians state that he did not drink a large enough quantity to cause death, although the general impression is that he was a suicide. It is probable that he was unconscious at the time he drank the liquid. Church to be Returned. In the matter of the Methodist church built at Livingston with dispensary profits, the following disposition of the matter will be of interest: At the second quarterly conference of Norway charge the following resolution was passed by a large ma joritv: . I Whereas, the lot and building j erected for a church, in the town of; Livingston, in said charge, was erect- | ed and accepted under a misappre- i hension, Therefore be it resolved by the second quarterly conference of said charge held on the 20th day of March, 1909, at Pine Hill church, that steps be taken by the trustees i of this charge to have said lot and j church building returned immediately to the town authorities of Livingston. i The Herald Book Store has just received a large line of late books, ' all strong titles, regular $1.50 edi- : tions, at 50c. and 60c. :s Up ave you money.

Rival Bank Factions in Orangeburg Go Full Length in Price. According to the Orangeburg News there are certain people in Oraneehnre who are willing to pay the price for bank stock when they want to get control of a bank. The News says that two factions have been trying to get control of the People's Bank there. The stock has a par value of $100 and a market value of $160 the share. Last Saturday it was discovered that there were seven shares not held by either faction, and of course the purchase of this small block would give the purchaser control. Up to that time $200 the share had been paid for the stock. The owner of the seven shares was a shrewd man. He knew what was up and would not fix a price. He wanted both factions to make sealed bids. This was done. The one who got the stock bid $12,025 for the seven shares. The other side bid only $2,000. The winner certainly paid dear for the control, but he got it. And the man who held the seven shares is over $10,000 better off than he ever dreamed he would be. ? I I Lumber Men Ask Protection. Washington, April 7.?A delegation of South Carolina lumbermen arrived here to-day to urge upon the South Carolina members of congress their claims to a duty on lumber. They conferred with Messrs. Ellerbe, Finley, Johnson and Lever in Mr. Ellerbe's room this afternoon and discussed with them the situation. The lumber men present were D. W. Alderman, of Alcolu, W. H. Andrews and G. A. Doyle, of the Atlantic rnnqt Lumber Conmanv. George town; J. W. Allen and T. W. Boyle, Sumter; J. W. Maynard, Cheraw. They told the South Carolina members that to take the $2 tariff duty off lumber would not lower the price to the consumer in South Carolina and would put them practically out of the Northern market, where the bulk of their lumber now goes. Only about 5 or 6 per cent, of the lumber manufactured in South Carolina, they said, is sold in South Carolina. Most of the lumber used in the State, they said, is made at the small mills, which do not do any export business. The duty, they claimed, would not affect these small mills one way or the other. To Utilize Cotton Stalks. Cordele, Ga., April 10.?Dirt will be broken here Monday morning on the first cotton stalk paper mill ever erected.

BE KNOWN AS "THE MC > sor^ STORE ENTERED AT BRUNSOX- j Attempt of Thieves to Rob Establish-1 ment of Moore-Barnes Co. Brunson, April 10.?Thursday night, while a number of the young men of this town were serenading a bride and groom, a party of thieves, taking out a pane of glass from one; of the back windows of the large gen- i eral merchandise store of the Moore- j Barnes Company, entered the store j and helped themselves to the largest i telescopes, filling them with dry! goods and gents' ware to tne i amount of about $300. This hap-! pened while the watchman was ex- j tinguishing some lights on the prem- j ises. On returning and hearing aj slight disturbance within, he report-! ed it to Mr. Barnes and secured the aid of the band of serenaders and surrounded the store, but unfortunately the boys were unarmed and j as Mr. Barnes and the watchman en-j tered the thieves made their escape j in safety by breaking through thej plate glass window in front. However, they left their burden behind and it is believed that the MooreBarnes Company has lost nothing. , On account of the rain that had been falling in the early part of the night the thieves could be easily tracked and after securing sufficient arms they were tracked for a considerable distance and one arrest made. It is very probable that all of the guilty parties will be apprehended', for they are believed to be negroes living in town. Magistrate Frees Boy Who Stole Caol New York, April 10.?James Finley, a boy of 17, was arraigned before Magistrate Crane in the Morrisiana court to-day, charged with stealing 6 cents worth of coal from the railroad yards in Mott Haven. The widowed mother of the boy said he went after the coal because it was cold in their home. She and her children, she said, were on the verge of starvation. The magistrate, apparently affected by the pitiful case of need, discharged the boy, remarking, "Young man, I am going to discharge you, but I want to tell you something. If you want to steal wait or>a nrocirtpnt nf a railroad. until JUU ui V ? Then you can steal anything you want and have no fear of punishment. Till then you must never look at a railroad car, or you might be arrested." "Naval" Recruits Immersed. St. Louis, April 11.?While thousands of persons struggled for points; of vantage to-day, 80 of the 125 recruits for the "Navy of the Lord," a negro church, were immersed in the icy water of the Mississippi river by Rev. J. B. Parker, who is called "the admiral" by his converts. The baptized negroes, after running from the water, hanged their garments in a nearby boiler. Forty-five recruits turned their backs on the "navy"when they felt the cold water. i " ...-.
