able in any of the foreign coun- j

class of the office entitles Mr. 1
Massey to a salary of $1,100 per
year.

JiOcal policyholders of the Conservative
Mutual Life Insurance
Company, of Charlotte, which
suspended business some days
ago, will be interested to know
that the Southern Life Insurance
Company, of Fayetteville, N. C.,
has purchased the business of
the Conservative Company, assuming
all of its liabilities and
taking over all assets.
It may be a little out of order
to bring the subject up just now,
but it would be a good time
nevertheless, to push the good
roads Question. It. would ho ?
hard matter to find a man at
this time not thoroughly convinced
of the need of improving
the public roads. If thcere is
such a man, he is, without
doubt, a hopeless case, so far
as this matter is concerned.
Mr. J. Star Garrison, after
being ill with typhoid fever for
six weeks, d'ed at the home of
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. M.
Garrison, in Steele Creek Monday

be made, Mr. Haile will have
quite a handsome cottage. Mr.
Haile and family, it is understood,
will occupy the house

dim vviinams, a colored laborer
at the plant of the Charlotte
Brick Co., was before Magistrate
McElhaney Thursday upon the
charge of having assaulted Julius
White, another negro. Williams
admitted to having struck White
with a shovel handle, having inflicted
a severe gash on the latter's
head, but claimed that the
lick was delivered in a friendly
scuffle and thought he ought not
be fined. The court took a different
view of the matter, however.
and imixised a fine of $20
or 30 days imprisonment. The
fine was paid.
Former Fort Mill Boy Wins Honor.
The Chester Reporter has the
following to say of Dr. Julian
W. Sloan, son of Mr. and Mrs.
R. B. Sloan, who were for many
years residents of Fort Mill:
"In the catalogue of the Universitv
f.r?11<?or?? nf M
located at Richmond. Va., appears
the name of Dr. Julian YV.
Sloan as one of the instructors
for the approaching term. This
is a signal honor, coming as it
does to so young a man and to
one who is serving his novitiate
in the profession."
