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

the sons and daughters of

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

Mr. W. B. Meacham, cashier
' of the Savings Bank, a few
days ago received through ' the
mail an article which was the1
first real evidence seen here of
the fire in San Francisco. The j
article in question was a check
which Mr. Meacham sent to nnn
of the San Francisco banks a
few days previous to the destruction
of the city and which
was !c?kod in the vault of the;
bank building which was destroyed
by fire. 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. Strait has decided to enter
the present race for Congress,
j and that Hon. W. P. Pollock, of
Chesterfield, will also be in the
race. Others will doubtless enter
the race later on. Hon. D. E.
Finley. of course, stands for re!
election, and his friends have
little fear of his being defeated.
