Robertson has awarded to Mr. Z. V.

The suspension of work is said to be due to the financial flurrv i in New York city. ? Mr. W. J. Stewart, manager of the Stewart-Springs Ginnery, informs The Times that up to the present time he has ginned about 1,160 bales of cotton, which is an increase of several hundred bales over that ginned up to this time in former years. The increase is not due to a larger crop but to the fact that the cotton brought to the gin came from a wider territory than heretofore. ?Dr. J. H. Thorn well, Mr. J. M. Spratt and Mrs. B. F. Massey left Tuesday morning for Anderson to attend a meeting of I the South Carolina Synod which is in session at the First church of Anderson. Rev.

The remains were brought here Thursday and buried by the colored Masonic lodge, of which he was a member. ? A case of interest locally, which will be called at the approaching term of York court, is that of the National Cash Register Company vs. McElhaney & Co., of Fort Mill. The action is a suit- brought by the cash register people to recover the | sale priee of a cash register which was shipped to McElhaney & Co. some months ago. The latter firm will contest the suit upon the groudds that the register was not as represented, hence the purchase contract was void. J. M. Cherry, Esq., will appear for the plaintiff, while McElhaney & Co. will be represented by Wilson & Wilson. ?Mr. Bowman McElhaney, of this place was "touched" for one hundred dollars even by a pickpocket in Charlotte Wednesday night of last week. Mr. McElhaney had just arrived in the city from Mt. Holly, where he is employed by the Southern Power company, and had his money, five $20 bills, in his trouser pocket, and $2 in his vest pocket. Soon after leaving i the train he felt for his cash and | where the five $20 bills had snugIgly rested there was nothing. The police were at once notified of the theft, but without a clue to work on were unable to locate the thief and it is likely that Mr. McElhanev's monev has lw?n lost for all time. ?A recent visitor to Flint Hill informs the reporter that work on the new Flint Hill Baptist church is progressing: favorably, the stone foundation having been completed and the brick work on the main walls commenced. The new church is to be built just to the north side of the old church. As stated, the foundations are of stone and the walls will be of pressed brick. The interior of the church and its furnishings will I be of the very latest designs, and when completed we are told will be one the handsomest country ! churches in this section. The 1 church building is to cost $6,000. ; The cemetery at Flint Hill, i which was already one of the largest hereabouts, has recently been enlarged by two acres. i ?Mr. J. P. Billue, the well! known shoemaker, was before Magistrate McElhaney Friday upon the double charge of delivering express packages of whiskey before sunrise and of acting as resident agent for a foreign liquor concern. Special Constable Sanders, of Yorkville prose cured trie cases, and Mr. Billue was represented by Hon. W. B. Wilson, Jr., of Rock Hill. The agency case was first taken up and the testimony produced by the prosecution was of such nature as to cause Magistrate McElhaney to require a $200 bond of Mr. Billue for thelatter's appearance at court. The delivery case against Mr, Billue, who is assistant express agent, was thrown out, the evidence produced not being sufficient to require a bond. It has been discovered that the present town charter does not expire until December 1908, but since the charter has been voted out and a new one obtained there will hardly be any complaint about the oversight. The present out-of-date charter should have been surrendered some years ago. . Nunnally's Candy i Fresh by express every ten to fifteen days.

In the circuit court at Lancaster last week Mr. John W. Elms, of Fort Mill, was given a verdict for $5,000 against the Southern Power Company for personal injuries sustained while in the employ of the company at Great Falls in Lancaster county early last spring. It will be remembered that Mr. Elms had his right leg badly broken in a hoisting machine and could not get about for several months. He asked for damages in the sum of $20,000. The suit occupied the attention of the court for the best part of two days. Counsel for the defendant company made motion for a new trial and this was argued Wednesday but the motion was refused. It is generally believed that the power eomqany will carry the case up to the supreme court. A Very Sudden and Sad Death. On Friday a pall of deepest sorrow was cast over our town by the sad announcement of the death of Mrs. M. W. Shurley. Not only was Mrs. Shurley's death the cause of much sorrow but it was a great shock to our people, for she had been ill only a few hours. Mrs. Shurley resided with her son, and only child, Mr. J. W. Elms, on Booth street. She had not enjoyed good health for several years, but made no com| plaint Thursday of feeling other j than usual. She retired at the ; accustomed hour Thursday evening and it was about 2 o'clock Friday morning when she complained of a violent headache. A physician was hastily summoned and after administering an opiate Mrs. Elms fell into an apparently painless sleep. After several hours efforts to arouse her were futile and she lay in this condition until the end came at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The attending physicians pronounced appoplexy as the cause of death. Mrs. Shurley was a daughter of the late John and Olive Lee Ross, and was born near Yorkville, in this county, in the year 1841. She was twice married, her first husband being: W. D. Elms, after whose death she became the wife of the late L. Shurley. the noted educator of Pleasant Valley, Lancaster county. As stated, only one child. Mr. J. W. Elms, survives. Other surviving: relatives are two sisters, Mrs. Chas. Ross, l of Pleasant Valley, and Mrs. Sallie Younts, of Pineville. The funeral service was held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from Pleasant Valley Baptist church, of which the deceased was a lifelong member, Rev. E. S. Reaves conducting the service. The remains were laid away in the churchyard beside those of her late husband. The popularity of the deceased I I and the nigh esteem in which j I she was held by her acquaint-: ances was attested by the large | crowd present at the funeral and i | the many floral tributes with which the grave was made a mound of loveliness. Rifle Range at Chester. A Chester special to The State says that Col. J. C. Boyd, adjutant and inspector general, Lieut.-Col. J. R. Lindsey of | Yorkville. Capt. T. B, Spratt of Fort Mill and Capt. Jim S. i McKeon of the Hazelwood Rifles, this county, were here j j this week to confer in regard to ! i the sit^ suggested for a rifle range for practice by the companies of the First regiment of uie fctate militia. This site is two miles south of Chester and upon inspection by the officers above named has their hearty and unanimous approbation. The endorsement of the 10 companies of the regiment will be asked for and will no doubt \ be promptly secured; as Chester's j railroad facilities make it easy accessible to all the companies of the regiment.
