Will Not Build New Church. For some time past the congre- I gntion of tin* Fort Mill PresbyHe- i rian church has been in n quandary as to what action to take in j regard to the condition of the ; church building. The building i* much in need of repairs, and it is said by those familiar with such work, that it will require quite a ; sum of money to put the church in proper shape. In view of this fact, and tlvo present location of the church, it was claiitied~l?y some tlint it would ho bettor to tear \ down the building nnd erect it at j nTdne central point of tlie~1owii, thus affording a like convenience to all members. A meeting of the congregation was held just after services Sunday for the purpose of deciding what action should lataken in the matter, and, after due consideration, it was concluded to allow the building to remain upon its present site, and com mi ttes were appointed to so licit funds for the repairs. The roof of the building, besides leaky, is badly sagged in the center, aud it is feared that to repair it it will ! be necessary to renew the entine frame work. The church was! built in 1881 and very little money i has thus far tjoen expended lor re-' pairs upon the building. _ ? tor. Jones's Home Burglarized. About ten days ago, the home of Mr. W. I. Jones, 2 miles wvst of town, was entered and a number of articles taken therefrom. Mr. Jones and Mr. Hee Aiken, who lives with the former, were absent and the only clue to the thieves was the statement of a colored man who said that he passed the house during the day nnd saw two negroes going from the premises toward a patch of woods. His description of the men was that one was a tall mulatto and the other u short black negro. An at tempt was made to track the burg- ' lars but was unsuccessful. Noth- ' ing further was learned as to tl*& : whereabouts of the thieves until ! Thursday morning, when two ne- j groes, filling the above description, appeared in town, one wearing e military cap. Inquiry of Mr. Aiken, who is a member of the lo .-al military company, revealed the fact that liia cap had heen stolen in the raid, and the negro ouapects were placed under arrest. Upon ' jearching the prisoners, a pistol, :.wo pairs of brass knucks and several other articles, which Mr. \iken identified aa belonging to Mr. Jones, were found. The negroes gave their names as Sain Mcllwain and Bill Neely. In the preliminary before Magstrate Mills, it was thought that lufficient evidence to convk-t was Drought put and the negroes were >n Friday transferred to York jail :o await trial. 11- i -*1- ? * * . . . iTir. j\men nan some clothing i stolen from iiitn, hut the prisoners j "efused to say what disposition lad been made of it.
