xod that 500 people were present, j

tice that it is his purpose to put (
ill moonshiners in his territory s

who knows the sheriff is satis- |
fled that he fully intends to make 1
?ood. The sentiment in favor of j
enforcing laws of all kinds, es- j
[oecially those against murder, 1
stealing, etc., is more healthy (
than ever before and the outlook j
low is that the time is not far i
off when the murderer will go to
:he gallows and the thief to the (
oenitentiary in this county, re-: j
?ardless of color of skin or social ]
>r financial standing:. : (
?An interesting, though some- |
vhat one-sided game of ball was 1
jlayed on the local diamond J

ftock Hill. The visitors had the '
ocal youngsters outclosed in size, ;1
jut the home boys rubbed it on :

Matures of the game were the ' (
bitching of Spratt, who tossed i
i no-hit game and the home run ]

good farmer friends, has the
thanks of the editor for a couple
of very fine watermelons sent to

refuse to take their words
as proof of it. '

the few surviving Confederate

began to inflame and broke out

Port Mill, was the scene of a
happy gathering of people who

columns, died Monday morning
tt 7 o'clock, the cause of death
being paralysis, by which he was
stricken August 3rd. Mr. Gor:lon
had been dangerously ill
?ince he was attacked by the
lisease and it was realized from
he start that he could not possibly
recover. His death, therefore,
was not unexpected. The
funeral was conducted from the
iome Tuesday morning at 10
b'clock by Rev. J. H. Lhornwell,
D. D., after which the burial
Aras made in the town cemetery.
Mr. Gordon was about 77 years

Hie was a native of Lancaster
county, having been reared in
he Relaire section. He moved to
Fort Mill about 12years ago. Mr.

iked by all who knew him. He
was upright and honest and his
loath causes profound sorrow to
lis many friends here and elsewhere.
