?A little son of Mr. Wni.
Burns, who lives near^ Sharon,
woo qui hj oenuusiy nun, last
Wednesday afternoon by falling
from a load of fodder. His head
struck a rock and for a time it
was thought that he was killed;
but he is now getting along nicely,
and is considered out of danger.
Mr. J. W. Good, formerly of
Blairsville; but since last wint r
a resident of Gaffney, died at
his home in that place on last
Wednesday, and was buried at
Woodlawn cemetery on yesterday.
His death was due to typhoid

years of age and leaves a widow
and five children, all daughters.
?Mr. John L. Stacy of Clover,
has paid the price to learn that
nitrate of soda is not good for
livestock and he wants other people
to know it free of charge.
| *1 lost a calf a day or two a^o,"
J said Mr. Stacy. "The animal
I took sick suddenly, swelled up
to considerably more than its
normal size and died within a
few hours. I thought the trouble
must be due to something
the calf had eaten; but was considerably
puzzled until Mrs.
Starr Stacy remembered to have
seen the calf drinking water
from a kettle in which I had
soaked an empty nitrate of soda
sack. The calf had gotten into
the yard by accident." j
? Dan Good, a deaf mute who
lived with his father, Sam Good,

day and was not again seen alive.
His body was found yesterday
morning within about fifty yards
of his father's house. Coroner
Louthian held an inquest yesterday;
but very little information
was developed. Some negroes
testified that they heard the

be elected. The board of health
will hold a special meeting next
Friday night, August 30, for the
purpose of recommending a man
to the Cfiy Council to succeed
Mr. Caveny and that body will
probably elect a man at their
next meeting, the first Monday
night in September.

the stock and complete
outfit of the Acme Manufacturing
Company -from Mr. C. W.

devote their entire time and attention
to it. The Acme Manufacturing
company is one of the
new enterprises that have sprung
up in Rock Mill and is helping to
build up the city.
