A?* V>bserver of such things says
that there was less drunkenness in <
Fort Mill during the past week
than he had ever, known, which
wis probably due to Charlotte's
dryness. Thus, it se? ms, the new

the making of two prohibition
towns instead of only one, as intended.

Dr. A. M. Buchanan, of Charlotte, '

gained much experience in the
practice of uiedieine and surgery
at a number of the leadinir lumrtit- 1
.ils of the North. Fort Mill township
has for sonic time felt the
need of additional medical talent,
and The Touch bespeaks for Dr. j
Buchanan much success in this,
his new field of labor.

Mr. Frank Ayeru, a young man
who for several weeks has been engaged
in construction work on the
new railroad bridge over Catawba
river, met with u very sudden and
tragic death Suudny afternoon at
4 o'clock. Ayers, with other employees,
had tinished the day's
work and were in the act of leaving
the trestle, when the unfortunate
young man was tripped by a guy
rope over which he attempted to

hiu|j hiiu wuh uuriea tiead-long to
the icy waters of Catawba, (X) feet
below. In hie fall, Ayers body
struck several pieces of projecting
timbers, nnd when the body was
taken from the river it was found
that his neck had been broked.
Death was thought to have resulted
instantantly. The body was
brought to Fort Mill, and an inquest
was held Monday morning at
which a verdict was rendered that
Ayors came to his death by being j
accidently thrown from the trestle, i
The remains were taken to Rock i
Hill for burial, the deceased hav- I
ing been reared near there and hav- i
ing relatives at present residing in
that city.
Ayers was about 25 yoars of age
and is survived by a wife and several
brothers.
Mrs Amanda Belk Dead.
Just as the sun was nearing the
horizon of the western sky on the
evening of January S, the Rweet
spirit of Mrs. Amanda Belk took
its flight into the haven of rest.
Only a few days did God, in his
all-wise Providence, ailow her to
suffer before he sent the death
angel to bid her leave earth with
all its sorrows and woes and come
to the mansion above which had
been prepared for her.
Announcement of the death of
Mrs. Belk came as a shock to lu-r
friends, many of whom had no
knowledge of her brief illness. It
was 011 Tuesday of lust week that
she was stricken ill of pneumonia,
her condition steadily growing
more serious until death relieved
her of all pain at a few minutes
past 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. Belk was 09 years of age, a
relict of the late D. D. A. Belk,
a consistent member of the Fort
Mill Presbyterian church, and her
long life was that of a pure Christian
woman. The sutviving chil
dren are Messrs. T. B. and C. LI.
Belk. of this place; Mrs. E. P.
Galling, of Hallsboro, N. C., and
Mrs N. R. Hotrhkiss, of New
Haven, Conn., all of whom were at
the bedside when death came. Before
marriage ahe wna Miss Amand
i Heath, a sister of Messrs. O. P.,
13. I), and Eb. Heath, all of whom
survive.
The funeral service was held
yesterday morning at 11 oclock at
the late residence of the deceased.

The nomination of William D.

Greeting.
% I
To one and all who have favored
us during 1904 with patronage,
we extend our grateful acknowledgment.
We have striven to
serve you faithfully. Our purposes
have been and will be for loftier
ideals in business life. We crave
I
110 success that can not be attained
by strictest integrity. We
stand 011 our own merit, and never
decry the virtues of our competitors.
We have enjoyed success
since we started in business, but
this by no means makes us haught y,
so the humblest and the poorest
has the same consideration as the
highest and the wealthy. We wish
for each customer and those who
are not, such joys, and successes
that a benign Providence is disposed
to bestow.
