-1 Robinson was brought here Fri*
{day to serve 15 days with the
I county chaingang which is lo*:
cated one mile south of town.
1 Robinson was convicted of stealing
from a store in Rock Hill.
1 The Herald has the following tc
say of the crime:
"Luke Robinson, a white boy
about 16 years of age, whose parents
live in Lancaster, was sentenced
to pay a fine of $10 or
; work on the county chain gang
for fifteen days by Recorder
Craig Wednesday morning for
, Stealing two purses from the
store of E. E. Cloud the day before.
He was caught by Mr.

The boy did not have the money
to pay his fine and he was locked
up after the trial pending efforts
to raise the money, but friends
who were expected to arrive

A Former York Man to Hang.
A dispatch from Richmond,
Va., to the Roanoke Times has
the following to say about Geo.
A. Peters, a native of York county,
who has been sentenced to
death in Carroll county, Virginia:
"George A. Peters, of Carroll
county, is to hang for the murder
of Rev. Jasper Easter, a
Dunkard preacher, who was
killed in the County several
months ago. This conclusion was
reached by Governor Swanson
this morning after going over the
application for commutation.
"The governor says he has not
found a solitary thing upon which
he could base any interference
with the sentence of the jury
which tried the prisoner. The
papers have been in the hands
of the governor for some time
and he has examined into the
: merits of the case with unusual
care.
"Peters, according to the records
in the case, went to the
home of the minister one night
in May, after the minister had
retired, called him to the door
and shot him down in cold blood
in the presence of the man's
wife and children. There was
absolutely no provocation for the
crime, and the attempt of the
defence to show that Peters was
drunk at the time fell flat, the
contrary being proven. Peters
will be hanged on September 20."

railroads and is still, the centre
of a prosperous and intelligent
neighborhood and has been so
for a long, long time. It is now
perhaps fifteen years ago that
the hundredth anniversary of
the building of the church was
celebrated. At Eber.ezer there
is also a big school at which
many have been educated. The
church has always had very fine
fine preachers and the school has
been well conducted. The first
Sunday in September and the
first Sunday in May there is always
a communion service. More
than six hundred people attend
service on these two communion
days. Only one communion service
has been missed in a hundred
years and that was not fully
missed but was postponed on
account of the sickness of the
pastor.
The Rev. J. H. Thornwell is
now pastor of old Ebenezer. He
and his congregation are in such
delightful accord that if he needs
money for any church, charity or
other benificent work all he has
to do is to say the word to his
people assembled or put the word

Cannot Sell Crescent Ale.
Governor Ansel has issued circular
letters to the various sheriffs
of the State requesting the
seizure of all the Crescent ale
j that may be offered for sale. The
sale of this ale is. prohibited by
i the Carey-Cothran act as it has
] been found to contain three per
i cent alcohol, the full strength of
beer, which if taken in sufficient
' quantity will cause the drinker to
! feel real merry.
j Several days ago Governor
Ansel caused an analysis to be
| made of several soft drinks,
i Crescent Ale being one. The
state chemist in his report stated
that this contained three per
1 cent alcohol, while in the other
i drinks only a trace of alcohol was
, found.

the system.
?The farms around Rock Hill
are in magnificent shape. A
farmer told us other other day
that he had been farming for
fifteen years and that he had
never had a better crop than he
lias this vcar. The farmers in
this section, we know, feel good
just now and if we have a late
fall the country will be flooded
with monay. We feeel sure that
cotton will bring a good price the
whole season through for the
farmers around here have been
educated to the fact that it pays
to hold cotton for a certain price.
Some farmers have sold their
crops already on future delivery,
the price paid being in the neighborhood
of 12 cents. In fact,
most of the future delivery price
was 12 cents, so we have been
informed.
?The first two bales of cotton
of this year's crop were sold here
Wednesday afternoon by Messrs.
J. A. Barber and J. C. Fudge.
Mr. Barber's was the first one to
be ginned, while Mr. Fudge, who
farms on Mr. F. H. Barber's
place, was close behind him.
Both bales were bought by Mr.
Ed. Fewell, and the price paid
was 14 cents per pound.

man, died early Wednesday morning
at his home in the village of
the Fort Mill Mfg. Company, after
a several weeks' illness of
