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

upon him Sunday night by
an unknown party. The negro
had retired early Sunday evening

asleep someone pushed the front
door of his house open and discharged
both barrels of a shotgun
at Cureton. The loads, which

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.
