According to the Yorkville Enquirer, the first income tax return made in this county this year was filed a few days ago by Capt. W. L. Roddey of Rock Hill. The return declares a gross income of $10,500, with exemptions, which brings the amount liable to taxation down to $7,100. The exemptions include salary and the $2,500 allowed before the tax applies. A letter from a gentleman at Catawba, who failed to sign his name, states that he has succeeded in getting the promise of the officials of York and Lancaster counties to erect a free bridge at Cureton Ferry at a cost of $350 and that the writer will be in Rock Hill today to solicit sub1 ? * 1 * scripuons to pay ior tne landings. This letter came by special delivery Thursday afternoon after The Record of that date had been printed.?Rock Hill Record* A phone message from Yorkville yesterday stated that H. W. Stewart, white, had plead guilty to the charge of larceny of live stock, but sentence had not been passed at the time the message came. The same message brought the intelligence that Mr. Thomas Bloodworth, a well known young business man of Yorkville had committed suicide some time Monday night by jumping into an old abandoned well near the business district of the town. The cause which prompted Bloodworth to take his life was not stated. Dr. J. B. Elliot was summoned Monday morning to administer to one Allen Cureton, a colored tenant on the plantation of Mr. W. E. Kimbrell in upper Fort Mill township. Cureton was suffering from a gunshot wound inflicted upon him Sunday night by an unknown party. The negro had retired early Sunday evening and shortly after he had fallen asleep someone pushed the front door of his house open and discharged both barrels of a shotgun at Cureton. The loads, which took effect in the negro's feet and ankles, would doubtless have 1 J J A* ? i * naa a more damaging enect naa not Cureton's head been to the foot instead of the head of the bed. Mr. John Giles, a son of the late Matthew Giles who was for many years a resident of Fort Mill, lost his life in a very tragic manner while at work in the oil mill of the Highland Park Company at Rock Hill Thursday. Mr. Giles was in the act of putting a belt on a rapidly revolving over head pulley when his clothing caught in the shafting and his body was thrown violently against the ceiling and back to the floor. He was taken to his home and lingered until Friday when he he died of his injuries.

I I Fort Mill merchants are com- j plaining these days cibout the dullness of business. 'The opin- | ion is that we are in midst of a period of stagnation to which business of every kind is subject. One of the causes assigned is the fact that tjhe farmers are holding their cotton for a higher price, which alfvays has a marked effect on business interests. Mr. J. Harvey Witfoerspoon, principal of the Fort Mi\l graded school had the misforeune Wednesday afternoon to suffer a severe fracture of on^? of the small bones of his left nrm just above the wrist.
