?Mr. Osmond Barber, of Barbersville,
was here Saturday and i
reported a very destructive storm 1
which passed through his section
Thursday afternoon. The wind
which was accompanied by a
heavy downpour of rain, played
havoc with grown corn, snapping ;
much of it off at the ground and
laying the remainder flat. In j
the same storm, a fine Jersey !
cow, belonging to Mrs. N. M. j
Patterson and valued at $40, was
struck and killed by lightning.
Several large trees in the vicinity
were shattered by the electric
bolts.
?Catcher Springs Parks, who
has been doing the receiving up
at Rock Hill in several games, is
said to be a good back stop and
also quite dangerous with the
stick. He is a big fellow, tipping
the scales at 175 pounds. 1
Parks' home is at Fort Mill. He
came to Cohtmbia for a try out
under Billy Earle, but the Colum
bia manager never gave the
likely one a chance. Thdse who
know him personally and have
an eye for ball players, say that
the catcher would make good in
the Sally.?The State.
?The Parks Drug Co, has recently
beautified its store by
putting in an up-to-date soda j
fountain. The fountain itself is |
one of the "swellest" things ever
installed iu Fort Mill. One of
the features o^ it is that the
dispenser always faces his customer.
To make it more sanitary
a drainage system is installed
beneath the fountain which carries
all refuse into the back lot.
The marble counter in front [
makes one feel that he isv being |
served from an up-to-date city
fountain. The fountain was
purchased from the Liquid Carbonic
Co. of Chicago at a cost of
about $1500. Such improvements
will help the firm both at home
and abroad.
Prompt service and satisfactory
work at reasonable prices is what
you get at Young's shop.?Adv.

Limas McCullough, a negro:
man who runs a store, and ;
evidently a blind-tiger in con- j
nection therewith, near Winthrop ;
College on the outskirts of Rock
Hill, was roped in by Officer
Potts a few nights ago. Limas
was on his return from Salisbury
and when he alighted from
train No. 2D with a heavy suit
case and a two-gallon jug the
officer placed him under arrest.
Examination revealed the fact
that Limas possessed seven gal- |
Ions, one quart, one half pint of
whiskey; also a revolver. The
negro was held for trial upon
the charge of transporting and
carrying a concealed weapon and,
upon conviction, was fined $50,
which, after considerable trouble, ,
was raised and he was released.
This will probably be McCullough's
last attempt to land his
booze in Fort Mill.
If it's made of iron and it's
out of shape, take it to Young's ,
shop. ? Adv.
Every Farmer Should Attend.
Next Saturday, the 27th, is
the day the Clemson agricultural
exhibit car will be here, and also
the day of the big institute and
farmers picnic in Pleasant Valley.
The Clemson car has a
number of very interesting and
instructive exhibits and our far
mers will miss a treat if they
fail to visit the car. All should
attend the institute, and picnic
at Pleasant Valley, for, aside
from the pleasant* time which is
assured, the Clemson professors,
will deliver lectures on agricul(ture,
horticulture, stock raising,
etc., which will be highly instructive
and beneficial to all who
hear them.

Rock Hill Herald.
?A sad accident occurred in
the city Wednesday night about
10 o'clock when Mr. "Het" Ally,
an operative of the Arcade mill,
was drowned in the -mill reservoir.
It appears that Mr. Ally
and two companions were taking
a swim in the reservoir, one of
them a boy only about 14 years
old, when he was either seized
with cramps or got strangled.
His companions saw him strug
gling in the water and the older
of the two went to his rescue
and made a desperate effort to
save the drowning man, but was
unable to be of any assistance.
The alarm was given immediately
but help did not arrive in
time to save the man and his
body was not recovered until the
reservoir was partly drained off.
Mr. Ally was 24 years old and
was a quiet and steady working
young man. He has two brothers
in Rock Hill, one at the Arcade
and one at the Aragon mill.
His mother lives in the Yorkville
neighborhood. The funeral services
were conducted in the Arcade
mill village Thursday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock by Rev. Mr.
Gibson and the interment Avas
made in Laurelwood cemetery.
The deceased was a member of
Walnut Camp W. O. W. in which
order he carried $1,000 life insurance.
He was buried by
members of Walnut Camp and
Supt. Adams closed the mill from
2 to 4 p. m. in order to give all
the operatives an opportunity to
to attend the services.
?At a meeting of the Catawba
Rifles, Co. "H," First South
Carolina regiment, held last
Tuesday night at the City Hall,
Mr. W. T. Roddey was elected
captain of the company on account
of the resignation of Capt.
II. S. Diehl.
?Two mules on Congressman
Finley's place, near this city.
wore KnocKea aown ana severely
shocked by a bolt of lightningTuesday
afternoon, and one of
them will probably lose an eye
as a result of the shock. The
two animals were standing at
the well, one of them tethered
to a tree by the bridle reins,
when the bolt came. It struck a I
tree a short distance from the
one at which the mules were
standing. The two trees were
connected by a clothes wire and
it was thR wire that carried the
bolt to the mules.

?Mr. J. S. Drakeford, formerly
editor of the Yorkville Yeoman,
but who has been the west
during several years past arrived
in town this morning.
?Work on the new Lockmore
mills will begin at an early date.
The mill will be located in the
Whisonant suburb, near the
Southern depot. Forty or fifty
cottages will be built on the
same property between the depot
and the old Dr. Moore ^ome.
This will be remodeled an < used
as a residence by Mr. T. P.
Moore, president of the mill
company.
A. A. Young, the blacksmith,
will repair your vehicles and
farm implements at a reasonable
price. ? Adv.
Gov. Ansel to be at Pleasant Valley.
Mr. Editor: The farmers' institute
and picnic to be held at
Pleasant Valley Saturday the
27th inst., bids fair to be the
largest and best occasion of its
kind ever held in this part of
the country. Our enterprising
citizens are making extensive i
preparations to make it a great j
success in every particular. The {
institute and picnic will be held I
in the beautiful grove in front of
the home of Mr. J. W. Davidson
and to supplement the usual big
picnic dinner, a bountiful barbecue
will bo-served.
Governor M. F. Ansel has accepted
an invitation to be present
and speak, and it is needless
to say that it will be a privilege
and a pleasure to hear one of
his entertaining and instructive
addresses. President C. C.
Moore of the North Carolina
Cotton Growers' Association and,
in all probability, Hon. E. D. '
Smith of the South Carolina j
Cotton Growers' Association will j
also be present and speak. The ;
Clemson speakers will probably j
