Quite a pleasant event in Lower Steel Creek was the celebra-; tion of the 30th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Walker, which took place at their home on May 31st. The occasion was in the nature of a family reunion, the sons and daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Walker being present. and the day was most pleasantly spent by all. Mr. W. S. Lee Jr., who is tUUUCUbCU Willi IIIC OUUUICIII Power Company, has recently subscribed tne sum of $10,000 to the construction of a proposed railroad line to run from Rock Hiii to Spencer, also connecting with a short line from the scene of the developments of the Southern Power Company near Fort Mill. The Southern Power Company distributes more than $6,000 every week among the men employed at its monster works on thA u;Ka riuor at Falls, S. C. This is exclusive of the money paid on certain contracts. There are more than 900 men on the payrolls of the company and this sum is divided among them every Saturday. One can get a little idea of the size of the development that is ' being made. During the month of May more than 14,900 cubic yards of stone was laid on the dam and power house. The total amount of masonry will approximate 100,000 cubic yards,?Charlotte Observer, ?4 T Mr. W. B.

The check was j so completely baked that it was I dark brown in color and could be j handled only with utmost care on account of its brittleness. Mr. Meacham prizes the check very 1 much and will keep it as a souvenir of the great disaster. Officer Potts Shoots Negro Burglar. John Mittag, a young negro of + *V???W ? ? r. 4...:? 'HI i. i iv. tvv> u, cXC* M1UI LVVlUf 1 Illir>dhy night by Chief of Police' Potts, while attempting to burglarize the Southern express office in this place. Mr. J. C. Walker, the express agent has several times recently missed packages, principally jugs from the office, and for the past I two or three weeks Officer Potts has been on the watch for the i thief. Thursday night the officer as usual took up his watch, secreting himself in the express room. He had been there only ! a short time when the outside door was opened and the thief i entered the express room through a small delivery window. The otticer threw the light on the in-1 trudcr, who proved to be Mittag, and at the point of his pistol commanded the negro to surren- . der. Mittag did not comply, but instead, made a dash for the window through which he had entered. Officer Potts fired several times at the negro as he fled from the building but did not succeed in stopping him. A j search was instituted, but without results, and nothing was heard i of the negro until the following morning, when Mr. J. R. Haile ; 'phoned from his plantation lour miles west of Fort Mill saying ! that Mittag had arrived there early Friday morning and was then at the home of another ne- j gro and was suffering from sev-1 eral gunshot wounds. Magis-j trate McElhaney at once issued a j warrant for Mittag and the negro was brought to town about 10 o'clock. A physician was called j to examine Mittag"s wounds and I these, one in the back and anoth- j er in the leg, were found to be i ve *y slight. He was given a hearing before Magistrate McE'haney and in the afternoon was taken to York jail to await trial at the next term of court.. John Mittag is the youngest of three brothers and bears the reo utation of being a cocaine fiend | and utterly worthless for work. His brothers are hard-working | men and enjoy the respect of the I white people here. Opposition For Mr Finley. It is learned from the Lancaster News that Ex-Congressman T. J.
