?Miss Mary Boyd is visiting
at the home of Dr. and Mrs. J.

Mount Holly, N. C., the past
week from their bridal tour.
?A traveling evangelist, whose
name we did not learn, is conducting
a protracted meeting in
a big tent in Sprattville.
?The handsome new residence
of Mr. J. T. Young, on Clebourn
street is receiving the finishing
touches and will be ready for occupancy
within ten days.
?Mrs. Caroline Hart, the
aged mother of Mrs. D. G. Kim
brell and MrsN35f._ M. Culp, has
been dangerously ill for some
days at the home of Mrs. Kimbrell,
two miles south of Fort
Mill. Her condition at last reports
was slightly improved.
? Mr. S. E. Bailes, of Fort
Mill, is to be one of the representatives
of Clemson College at
the Southern Student Conference
which convenes in Asheville on
the 14th instant. Mr. Bailes has
been a cadet at Clemson for
several years.
?As an indication of the probable
shortage of this year's cotton
crop and the price which it
will likely command, a Gold Hill
farmer was heard to remark
Monday morning: that he had
been offered 14 cents for his entire
crop. The offer was not accepted,
nowever.
?The Times was misinformed
the past week as to the condition
of Barber's bridge since the big
freshet in Supar creek ten days
I ago. The bridge if still open to
the public, but from appearances,
it would be somewhat risky to
cross the bridge with a heavy
team.
?A great deal of complaint is
being indulged in by the traveling
public over the failure of the
Southern railway to provide lights
in the waiting rooms at the depot
The matter was taken up
with the railway officials by the
Commercial Club some time ago,
but nothing definite has yet come
of the correspondence which

?The Roanoke Bridge Company
which has the contract to
Duild the steel bridge over Sugar
creek to the east of Fort Mill,
has written the livery stables
' here for bids upon hauling the
building material from this
place to the creek. This is taken
as an indication that the material
is now enroute and that
work on the bridge will begin at
an early date.
?The embankments for the
sidetrack which the Southern
railway comtemplates putting in
iust north of the Springs bridge
between this place and Pinevifie
have been baaly damaged by the
recent heavy rains. Nothing has
yet been done toward the building
of this sidetrack, which is
one of a numoer to be put in between
Charlotte and Columbia,
exceDt the flrradintr: when the
crossties and rails will be laid i9
not known here.
?Our colored readers will be
interested to know that Mame
Massey, a colored woman who
was known here some years ago
as Mame McLeary, and who was
tried several months ago in Charlotte
for the murder of her husband,
Dave, or "Demps," Massey,
was found guilty the past
week of murder in the second
degree. In the first trial a like
verdict was rendered, but the
woman appealed, and the case
was entered into more fully. At
the time The Times went to press
sentence had not been imposed.
Death of Dr. NcriBo.
Dr. J. H. Thomwell left Mon
day morning for Greenwood to
attend the funeral services of
Rev. Dr. W. G. Neville, president
of the Presbyterian College of
South Carolina, who died suddenly
at his home in Clinton Saturday
evening. Up to two years
ago, when be accepted the presidency
of the Presbyterian College,
Dr. Neville was for several
years pastor of the Presbyterian
church in Yorkville. His death
is a distinct loss to the Presbyterian
church and syrially to
the college whose affairs he so
ably directed.

Engineer Had Remarkable Record.
According to press notices,
Southern Engineer John W. Pettus,
who died at Charlotte Saturday,
had a remarkable record as
a locomotive engineer.' During
his career on the road Engineer
Pettus rolled down high embankments
with five InromotivpR
and had also gone down with c
eight passenger trains, and not a
passenger or trainman were se- i
riously injured in all the acci- t
dents. Nor had he himself been 1
severely hurt in any wreck. He t
also had an unusual record for 1
saving trains from serious wrecks t
and had been handsomely re- t
warded by his employers for his t
bravery in this respect He was s
widely known by railroad men i
and greatly admired.

A Western editor has come to
the conclusion that those desiring

the following schedule of prices:

This Week*
Th^^SI^of Franc H. Jones
charged with Embezzlement of
573,500 of funds from the Charotte
National lBank, and of
?ercy G. Fonvillc, charged with
conspiracy with Jones in alleged
crime, are expected to be held
;his week during the term of the
Federal Court which convenes in
;he government building tonorrow.
For many weeks the
public mind has been upon these
learings, and interwoven with it
ill has been an air of expectancy
ind speculation as to what would
je the final outcome. There will
?e some surprises sprung when
he cases are. called.
1 next; nave ueen . uixiurs sprung
ending the people -o believe that
lones would submr. the offense
vith which he is charged and
vould ask the mercy of the court
n the sentence. T1 is impression
s strong to-day in the minds of
lersons more or less closely, col lected
with the case. There is
i sort of resistless indercurrent
>f opinion that a sibmission is
he only natural and logical
:ourse for Jones to pursue.
There are some complications
n connection with tnose sensaional
cases which ths public has
lot yet apprehended and whicfh
he authorities for seme purpose
lave been holding back. "If
;hey make those fellows tell all
;hey know about this matter,
;he people of Charlotte will be
startled as never before by the
evelations that will l?e made,"
s in substance what niany have
leard from attorneys ind others
vhose position enables ihem to
?et some of the inside workings
>f this complicated crine}.
The story of the proposed litigation
between the Charlotte
National Bank and the firm of
/. P. Randolph & Company, of j
Philadelphia,'for whom Fonville
icted as agent in this section,
;hrown to the public through the
lewspapers of the city just *t
;hat critical time when speculaion
was at its highest added
(till more to the mysterious case.
If thio case matures, vill the
)ank depend on Jones as a ma;erial
witness and Randolph &
Company depend on Fonville as
eading defense, and thereby
*orce the two men, alleged to
lave worked in harmony in the
ooting, come straight out and
estify against each other, this
vas the question which is going
;he rounds.
The card which President B.
3. Heath published in The News
ecently indicated that his bank
vould not be a party to such a
course and that no mercy vould
>e asked through the institution
?or Jones. Some are sayinp that
;he submission of Jones will accomplish
practically the san e reiult
and such a action wouli be
che safest, surest and shortest
vay to meet the ends of justice
md settle the whole matter.
It cannot be stated accurately
fet what day these important
crials will come off. District
Attorney Holton, when he was
n the city a few days ago, stated
chat Fonville would likely be
cried Thursday. It is sure that
Jones will be tried first. It is
lot at all improbable, therefore,
;hat his case will come up tcnorrow
soon after the convening
)f court or not later than We<ilesday
morning.
Jones is represented by M~.
Crawford D. Bennett and Fonyille
by Tillett and Guthrie,
Stewart and McRae and Congressmen
Wylie, of Alabama,
fhe government will be represented
by District Attorney A.
E. Holton, of Winston, and Assistant
District Attorney A. L
Eoble, of Statesville. Judge
lames E. Boyd will preside.
Mr. Fonville, was released on
iai'1 several weeks ago, is here
with his father. M?\ Jones has
ieen at his home in this city
since he was given his liberty not
many weeks age. Both are
jnderstood to be anxious for the
trial to be held.
Mr. Bennett said today that he
could not say as yet whether Mr.
Jones would submit or not. Mr.
Bennett said he was ready with
his case and would not ask a
continuance.
President Heath, of the Charlotte
National, said that Jones
had not made any restitution
whatever.
