Oolvin, it is said, had nothing to do with Sullivan's not being allowed to preach and was at the church merely as a visitor. It is understood that feeling is running high against Rev. Sullivan among negroes residing in the section in which the tragedy occurred. Cherokee Educator Dead. 1 Kstle S.

Johnson of Bethel township, brought George Rhyne, a 1 white man, to the York county jail 1 Sunday night, where he is now lodged ' awaiting information from the North 1 Carolina penitentiary at Raleigh, from which he is believed to have escaped. 1 Rhyne was caught in Bethel township < Sunday at a point near where Crowd- < er's creek enters into the Catawba. < He had been camping there for the past month and had been engaged in | fishing. Rhyne is said to be a pal of i "Irish Jimmy," the famous cracksman , who escaped from the North Carolina , penitentiary several months ago, fol- ( lowing his conviction for a robbery in ; Gaston county. Rhyne escaped from the penitentiary at the same time "Irish Jimmy" made his get-away. His home is in McAdenville, N. C., and it is understood that he has a wife and 1 two children living there. Rhyne has served only a few months of a fouryear sentence. He does not deny that ' he is the man wanted. Constable ( Johnson has had the man under surveillance for several weeks past; but ' until a few days ago did not have evidence which would warrant his arrest. Rhyne had just caught a great bunch 1 of fish when arrested. He says he has been making from $5 to $8 per week over expenses, fishing in the Catawba during the past few weeks. He was 1 supplied with a tent, bedding and 1 cooking utensils. It is understood that there is a reward out for the appre- 1 hension of Rhyne. MERE-MENTION A message from Amsterdam.

CnrrMpobdaac* The Torkrllle Knquirer Gold Hill, May 1.?On last Friday, Gold Hill school closed its doora This terminated a very successful session. The commencement was the best and most interesting in the history of the school, there being three days of ; elaborate ard almost flawless exercises. The feature of the first night, April 28, was a play "A Count of No ; Account." This comedy was staged most successfully in Virginia a few . seasons ago, and won friends through- , jut the state. It also captivated its : tudience here, and proved to be one ;?f the best amateur plays ever shown j In these parts. It was operatic in character and all the participants were proficient in their respective ports down to the smallest detail. This fact was attested by the continu- . his applause of the audience. An invitation has been accepted-for i repetition of the play in Fort Mill J >n Friday, May 7, at 8 p. m. On Thursday evening the building was filled to overflowing an hour be'ore the exercises began. Never betor in the writer's memory, have we sver seen any school exercises so i . omplete, or the scenery so beautiful, ? is it was on this particular night. ] \11 the participants were adepts in heir parts. Every phase seemed per- i 'ect. At least five hundred persons ire said to have been present. The Fort Mill orchestra furnished he music for the occasion. m ] Back Pay for the Carriers.?The ] 'ollowing correspondence between j Congressman A. F. Lever and Post- ( naster General Burleson, will be of ; :onsiderable interest to the rural car iers of the state: On April 3, Mr. Lever wrote the , j(istmaster general as follows: "A lumber of rural carriers are writing ne to know if the department will re- ] tard their filing claims for back pay ' is an infringement of any rules and ( -emulations of the department, and if ( hey will be punished for such action." 1 Mr. Lever is in receipt of the fol- ( owlngr answer from Postmaster Gen- 1 ral Burleson: "In reply to your letter of April 3, , vhereln you inquire whether or not ' he postofflce department will regard he filing by rural carriers of claims 'or back pay 'an infringement of any < ules or regulations of the depart- j nent, or whether the carriers will i >e punished for such action,' you are t idvised that there can. of course, be < to objection to any postal employee { iling any claim provided he is cer- { ain in his own mind of its validity. j "The matter is entirely discretion- ( iry with the carriers as to the filing j >f these claims, and the department | vould be interested only in their orlerly and proper presentation." Staggering Piles of Money.?The ? ate at which the country has been " filing up money while the war is gong on almost challenges compreheniion. Financial statements the past veek show that the national banks of . he United States are carrying excess ( eserves of over 3734,000,000 above the j egal requirements. This tremendous ] iccumulation of money is largely due ( o the operations of the Federal re- { ?erve banking system, and it indi- , :ates the preparedness of this country < :o take advantage of the situation . hat will be presented when the war shall come to an end. The reserve lurplus already in hand would permit he nationa". banks to double their present line of credits. It would ?ven now be possible to extend credits I jy the sum of $5,000,000,000. These igures give some idea of the rate at vhich European money is being poured into this country, for the war conlitions have created much of this wealth. In nine months the trade mlance in favor of the United States las reached an excess of $720,000,000 if exports over imports, and is still growing?in fact, may be said to be lust beginning to grow. Those who 'eared the European war would break :he United States, made a bad guess. ?Charlotte Observer. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS ? The Anderson Daily Mail reports :hat J. T.

Announcement has been made in ' Atlanta that at a meeting of the di- 1 rectors of the Southern railroad, held in New York a few days ago, Mr. Hen- ' r.v AY. Miller of Atlanta, was elected rice president of the Southern, vice Col. A. B. Andrews, deceased. Mr. ' Miller is a comparatively young man, being not over 45 years of age. He went into the office of Col. Andrews at Raleigh, when about 15 years of age, I and proving apt and industrious in his work was promoted quite rapidly. For several years past he has had offices in Atlanta, and his title was assistant to the president. His responsibilities were really very great and his authority was practically next to that of the president. His election as vice president of the Southern gives general satisfaction not only to his numerous f riends; but to the general public as well. ? The German embassy at Washington, has been putting advertisements in various American newspapers, warning Americans not to sail on British or French ships because of the danger of being sunk by submarines. There is comment to the effect that it is somewhat unusual for a foreign government to undertake to reach the people of this country except through the state department; but since it appears that all the warring governments have been using the newspapers more or less, the Washington government is not inclined to take notice of the matter. ? The commerce department of the national government, announced last Saturday that horses valued at $S,0S8,974 and mules worth $1,255,759 were shipped abroad in March. Most of them were for the fighting forces in , Europe. AT THE CHURCHES I FIRST BAPTIST. No prayer meeting this week. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN. No prayer meeting this week.
