ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS. l'lans for the Girls' Industrial College? Shooting Scrape at Catawba Junction?Pell from a Window?Other Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Rock Hili., August 15.?Governor Tillman was in Rock Hill last week to attend the meeting of the board of trustees of the Winthorp Normal and Industrial college. Governor Tillman is chairman of the board. It was a very important meeting. The location of the building was more minutely settled nnd the matter of laving a corner stone discussed ; the architect to be in charge of the construction was selected, and his plan presented and accepted. The architect is to be Mr. Bruce, of the firm of Bruce ?S: Morgan, of Atlanta, Ga. The building is to have a front of 200 feet, and will be 170 feet deep. It will be three stories high, with a basement. The basement will be of stone, and above it brick will be used. The structure will be surmounted by an imposing tower, 20 feet square, and rising to the height of about 140 feet. The building will contain about thirty large rooms, arranged for lecture rooms, industrial rooms, gymnasium, etc. The dormitories and boarding department will be in other adjacent buildings that will be erected to meet the demands. Mr. W. B. Dunlap was elected as secretary and treasurer of the board, to take the place of Hon. W. D. Mayfield, who has resigned. On last Saturday afternoon, there was a shooting afFair below town, near Catawba Junction, in which a negro boy, Joe McCauley, was probably fatally wounded by Mose Dunham, colored. According to the defendant's plea, it is the old story of being shot with an empty pistol. It seems that a party of negroes were playing ball and wrestling near the Junction. One of them, Joe McCauley, had laid his pistol down by the root of a tree, as being too cumbersome to carry. McCauley called for the pistol presently, saying, in a careless, bragging way, that he would shoot somebody. Whereupon Mose Dunham, who had the pistol, answered in the same spirit, "If you fool with me I'll shoot you." He pointed the pistol at the other one and fired. The ball entered his stomach. Dr. Frank Strait, who attended the case on Sunday, says it is impossible for the wounded boy to live. Dunham claimed that he thought the pistol was unloaded, o?wi oovc th?f nthers had been snapping it """ *?v? * . . _ before and that it had not gone off. He is in the guard house here, awaiting a preliminary trial before Trial Justice J. J. Waters, which will probably be held this afternoon. Yesterday the little son of Mr. F. 0. London fell from a second-floor window of his father's residence. The little fellow was playing with little Joe Lindsay, his cousin, when Joe sportively pushed him against the closed blind of the window. The blind flew open and he fell backwards to the grouud. I)r. J. W. Fewell, who is in attendance on the case, reports the little boy as doing well, with no bones broken. Mrs. W. W. Williams, who lately went to Patterson springs for her health, is now quite sick at that place. Dr. T. A. Crawford, who went up to the springs to attend her, hopes she will be able to be brought home today. Mrs. Williams is one of the oldest and most highly respected ladies of Rock Hill, and we trust she may be spared to her friends from this spell of sickuess. Mrs. L. B. Robertson is at the Patterson spring nursing Mrs. Williams. Miss Lizzie Cousar, of Chester, has been visiting Mrs. Jennie Blake. The Roddey Mecautile establisment was burglarized last night. The thief got into a back window by means of carpenter tools. He made an attempt at the cash drawer, but was evidently frighteuded away before he got it open. So far as is known, he carried off nothing but a nice black coat. Miss Lottie Blake, of this place, is visiting friends at Guthriesville. One of the convicts belonging to the squad " ? ... here escaped mis morning, nc ? ? u usty," and on being sent out for some wood, failed to return. He had four years to serve. During the last week, this correspondent had a trip across our large county into Union county. From Hickory Grove, the way was by private conveyance across the country. The crops in that section are very good and do not seem to have suffered from the want of rain. One distinguishing feature of the country is its hills and bad roads. I do not believe I ever saw a public road so consistently bad, and so nearly impassable as that leading from Hickory Grove into Union county, toward "Star Farm," by way of Smith's ford, on Broad river. It is with actual peril to conveyance, and almost to life, that a person can travel over those hills. Such a country becomes pleasant to residents from long being accustomed to it, but will never draw immigrants. But the inhabitants are of such a section are not to be held fully responsible for such shabby roads, for it would take them a large part of the time to get and keep the roads in good order. But to tell the simple truth, and without special reference to section, there is hardly a public trust so shabbily treated and neglected, as are the public roads of our country. Of the public school system we generally say, "Very bad ; but much better than nothing." But a ride over some of our freshly "worked" public roads, will sometimes more justly jolt outrthe remark, "Very bad ; and much worse than nothing." One gentleman who spoke from the fullness of a recent experience over the "breaks," brush, mud and stones of a freshly worked road, said it ought to be made a misde 1I-UU rv U'Arl' t O meuuur, imum iu puuiouuicin, w ...v roads. It is easy to write and hard to perform, but there is an existing and growing sentiment among some of our best citizens that the roads should be worked by taxation, and it will be a happy day when the majority of voters want it. Then "everybody's business"'will cease to be "nobodys's business," and the least taxpayer will be dilligent in the interest of good roads. It was my privilege while in Union, to be entertained in the pleasant home of Captain John R. Jefferies, until recently State lecturer of the Alliance. Captain Jeffries is himself a model and large farmer. About his plantation you forget the prevalent crv of "hard times," and wonder if it is not a mistake. The captain is thoroughly well-informed on the principles of the Alliance and the financial history and situation in the United States, which latter the Alliance seeks to rectify. And it is not too much to aflinn that if the Alliance makes its war on such principles as Captain Jefferies advocates, it has come to stay, and deserves to stay, and will stay as a worthy educative agent to the masses of voters. v. I. M. LETTER FROM CLAY HULL. A Fine Season fur Turnip* hiiiI Out*?t'plaml Corn is Poor?The Picnic at Burnett's Mountain. Correspondence of the Yorkvillo Enquirer. Clay Hill, August 14.?We are having fine seasons for turnip sowing, and I see that some of ray neighbors arc sowing oats. This is a good time, as the seed will have time to root before the cold weather sets in. The crops have been much improved by the recent rains except the upland corn, which was too far gone to be benefitted. Corn in the bottomlands is fine, and if nothing happens to it there will be a big crop. The people of this section are making big preparations for the picnic at Harnett's mountain tomorrow, and if the weather is good, it will be a great aflair. There will not be any preaching or Sunday-school at Allison Creek, on Sunday next, as the pastor will be absent on that day. He will preach on the afternoon of the fourth Sunday. Messrs. Bonnie Anderson and J. S. I'lexico are visiting friends and relatives in Mullock's Creek. Mr. James Bigger is preparing to move tc his "Currence place," near here, this fall. We can always be ready to welcome such neighbors as Mr. Bigger. ? ? ^ ? from tli?- Stale Farm. ? Joe Smith, a colored convict from Chester county, escaped from the State farm in Sumter county last Thursday evening. He belonged to a detail which was engaged in hoeing cotton, .lust as the guard gave tut order to <juit work and line up, Smith broke for an adjoining cornfield, and although the guard fired at hiin three times, he got away without a scratch. His course lay across u large pasture, and in passing through it he appropriated a mule belonging to Mr. Charlo Sanders. Smith is about 3"> years old, "> feel 81 inches high, has black hair, brown eyes dark brown complexion, and large scars on left side of head and left jaw and throat He was sentenced from Chester in March 1893, for five years. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. For Free Silver. ? Excepting Congressman Brawley, all the South Carolina delegation in congress, including Murray, the colofed representative from the Black district, ';are in favor of the free coinage of silver." Mr. Jones will be a Candidate. ? Chester Bulletin : We have been authoritatively informed that the friends of Speaker Ira B. Jones, of Lancaster, will run him for associate justice to succeed Justice McGowan. OfT for the World'* Fair. ? Governor Tillman has decided to visit the World's Fair. He has been working unusually hard during the past few months, and is now greatly in need of a vacation. It was his purpose to start with his family i f,.t. citioaiin vocinnlnv nml tn remain awav ?/. V ...v?fev v.. J, . ? about two weeks. A Famou* Moonshiner. ? Major Lewis R. Redmond, the once famous moonshiner, who so long defied the authority of the United States government, is seen in Greenville from time to time. He is now engaged in the cattle business, and would not be taken for the famous desperado of former years. A .Justified Pardon. ? Robert Stenhouse, colored, sentenced to the penitentiary last spring for two years for killing Marion Sims, a white man, in Greenville county, has been pardoned by the governor. Sims was caught in a compromising position with the Negro's wife. Governor Tillman says the unwritten law on the subject is as good for a negro as a white man. Hard on the Constable. ? A dispensary constable went into a place of questionable reputation in Laurens one day last week, and winking at the proprietor, asked for a toddy. The proprietor suspected the busiuess of his would-be customer, and furnished him with a cooling drink of something in which there was a drop or two of croton oil. The poor fellow was badly used up. Quarantining Against Yellow Fever. ? Two passengers on the Atlantic Coast Line, fleeing from the yellow fever in Pcnsacola, were refused admission to Charleston last Saturday. Charleston, along with Savannah and Augusta, have quarantined against Pensacola, and notified the railroads that they will be held responsible for any violations of the law in bringing yellow fever refugees into any of the respective cities. The Largest Mule in the State. ? The largest mule in the State is to be seen on the State farm?the old DeSaussure place?on the Wateree river in Sumter county. The mule is 18\ hands high. It is in first-class condition, and is a perfect giant, of its species. It is the property of Major T. 0. Sanders, lessee of the State farm. We are told that there is only one other mule in the United States that is taller than this one. It is ID hands high. The Phosphate Royalty. ? Phosphate Inspector Jones was in the city last Thursday, says the Columbia Register. He said the business of mining phosI phate in the State's territory is progressing nicely. He gave the figures of the amounts of rock mined in the months from September, 1892, to June, 1893. The royalty is one dollar for each ton mined. In those ten months, $203,969.39 was collected as a royalty. Who says now that it did not pay the State to open the Coosaw river to general mining? \ Fisticuff Hetwocn Tillman atul Shelton. ? Messrs. J. H. Tillman and W. J. Shelton, traveling agent of the Columbia Register, met in Edgefield one day last week and began a quarrel about the Farley-Irby controversy. Shelton called Tillman a liar, and the two repaired to a livery stable to settle the matter. Tillman knocked Shelton down and jumped on him. He was pulled olf by a policeman, and each of the combatants was lined $2. Shelton claims that the Washington dispatches to the Columbia Register lauding Irby, were not written by that gen tleman, but by himself and Mr. M. r. ligne, Irby's private secretary. Dispensary Kec-eipts ami Expenses. ? The statement of the operation of the dispensary for the first month was made public last Saturday by Governor Tillman. The cost of establishing the State dispensary, says a Columbia dispatch to the Greenville News, falls considerably below the estimates heretofore made. The amount of liquor purchased, including beer and wine, is $92,639.17, while the actual figures were expected to be nearly twice as much. Next to the labor employed, the greatest expense for carrying on business is the pay of constables, which is $2,604.97 to date. The total sales to county dispensaries to date have been $45,535.14, but what their sales have been or what the profit amounts to, has not yet been made public owing to the fact that the county dispensaries have not been opened fully a month. Governor Tillman has no doubt about success, and says that the constabulary, which now costs $150 a day, will cost far less when the law goes fully into effect, and that with experience the expenses may be cut down and the profit of half a million realized. Ai'ciilfiit ut Cleinsoii. ? The barracks bridge at Clemson college, gave way last Friday while some fifty students were on it, and a large proportion of them were more or less seriously hurt. None of the injured were from York county. The following from the Columbia Register, enables the reader to fully understand the cause of the accident: "The dormitory, or barrack, is built on the side of a hill to the west of the main college building. In order to get a level for the foundation, the hill [was cut away. The basement, in which is ! the dining hall, etc., is on the west side, 1 ?... .t i mi a about twenty leet neiow uie inn iop, wmio the other end of the basement is not beneath the level of the hill. The hill is cut away for twenty or twenty-live feet from the basement walls, in order to allow plenty of light to enter the windows. This huge trench is bridged over, the bridge entering the second story of the dormitory. After supper and at leisure moments, the boys are fond of collecting on this bridge, which is cool and airy. The bridge appeared to be strong, but gave away last night while a crowd was collected upon it, with the results stated above."

Spring of lKtrj our twin itallies began teething, and encountered the usual troubles that beset 1 ehildren during the period of dentition, except that the attack wits most obstinate and pro longed. They had the benefit of the most skill- j ful medical treatment and attention, with the ? most approved diet, change of air, and mineral water; and with all they grew worse, and finally became so emaciateif and weak from want of nourishment, that they were unable to sit up and had to be nursed all the time. Their i digestive organs seemed paralyzed so to speak, i and the bowels uncontrollable." At this stage of < their case we began the use of your Campbell's i Anti-Ferment, giving 1"> drops after each admin- < istration of nourishment. The good effect < seemed perceptible from the first dose. The food was digested, the bowels controlled, and a perfect recovery resulted from the continued use of the medicine. They are today as handsome a pair of two year olds as there is in the county. Yours truly, A. Y. Caktwkiuht. i Yorkville, August 3rd, 18JI3. Ars Iionga Vita Brevis.

Campbell's Cough Cure is the ounce of prevention that is worth more than the pound of cure that we read of in the adage. A single dose will prevent an attack of croup. One or two doses will stop a cough which seems to tear to shreds and wrench from its moorings, the internal viscera. It brings peaceful repose where erstwhile unrest hovers like an evil spirit. It prevents the spasm of whooping in whooping cough, and does away with tlic necessity of the little sufferer grabbing a bed post or a sappiing to keep afoot. It cures in a few moments the horrid gasping for breath that is experienced by persons who sutler from asthma. In short, it is a household remedy indispensable after it has been tried. * Joux ('.
