The number of voters present were estimated at 300 or 400 and all were quiet and orderly, giving the speakers close and respectful attention. The speeches of the candidates were practically the same as those delivered at previous meetings, and, while it would be a pleasure to The Times to give each speech in full, lack of space and facilities to get up the type prevents us from doing so. I 9P ^ ?=* Drowned in the Catawba. Mr. Fred Alexander, of Charlotte, a son of Mr. Pharr Alexander of Providence township, was drowned in Catawba river at a point near the dam Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Mr. Alexander, with a number of friends, one of whom was a young man, Miller Strong, was I outing on the river and in the afternoon the young men of the t party went to a point below the dam to enjoy the water. They 1 1 1 Al -1 * iiuu ueta 111 me stream oniy a i short time when young Strong i waded into water beyond his depth. Mr. Alexander, seeing that the lad was in imminent danger of drowning, started to his rescue and was himself enveloped in the water and carried to the bottom. Young Strong' reached a snag and held on until he was hauled to safety by another member of the party. Mr. Alexander, the drowned man, was 22 years of age and one of the most popular young men of the Sharon neighborhood ! in which lie was born and reared. Solution of the Good-Roads Question. Capt. S. E. White writes to | Poag's Real Estate Monthly as follows upon a subject which is of much interest in York county at this time: Having lived a good while, with varied experience and observation, and having read and heard a great deal about the improvement of our roads, and regretting that our lawgivers have seen fit to levy heavy taxes to make said improvement, I ask space in your columns to give my views to the intelligent public. Of course we all want good roads. How to secure them is i 1 i_; if 1 y r .1 tnc quesuun. my uenei is mar , they can be secured by a small outlay in money, together with | a moderate amount of labor, annually. Let our Legislature make it obligatory on proper j hands to work the roads under j an overseer for as much as five i or six days in each year, if; necessary. Then authorize the j County Supervisor to cut up the roads into sections?say half a j mile each ?and contract with a proper person to oversee that section, paying $1.00 or $1.50 per day for his services and assigning sufficient force to do the j work. The road should first be I surfaced so as to be slightly j raised in the middle and shedding I the rains into ditches on either i side. Then every year haul stones from the size of a child's 1 head down to the size of an egg : and lay them on a space 25 or 50 feet long and 8 or 10 feet j wide. Do not crush them, but | leave them until next year, when ! another stretch is to be laid and the larger protruding rocks laid down the previous year are to be broken with hammers. It is unnecessary to macadamize a road, besides being too expensive. The hauling mav have to be paid for, ! but the work can be done by road hands, and anybody ought to ' gladly give the stones in order to be rid of them. In this way and by laying stones on the worst places first we can in time have good ro?.ds at small nvnoncjn 1 speak from experience. Sev-! en years ago, with three men and two teams, I laid 250 feet of road in one day, one man arranging stones on the road while the others hauled, and that is a good road today?a perfect road. It is error to suppose that a good road must be macadamized. Just lay stones as above mentioned and use broad-tired wagons, which really work the roads. Eight years ago I had three worn out wagons. After re-1 ceiving some advice and think- i ing over the question of buying new wagons, or repairing the old, 1 concluded to cut down the wheels and put on broad felloes and tires. I have never regret' ted having it done at a cost of $14 for each wagon, because the i bills for repairs have been al-, most nothing. I would not change back to narrow tires for i any consideration, within the bounds of reason. Broad tires [ run lighter across fields and on the roads; they are stouter, therefore less liable to break; and they really work the roads. 1 ! Thiirn KnitKi* ~ I 5 ^nviv imut II I'll III <x UlUHll tire, it is less liable to expand and become loose on the wheel; wherefore it is more durable and more reliable. j I would surest that the Legisj lature enact a law requiring all I tires on two-horse wagons and heavier ones, after three years, shall be five inches or more in I width. If the above plan is adopted and followed up, we can save the extra 2 mills tax imposed on property for improvement of roads, as well as the extra $3 i poll-tax for the same purpose. 1 know whereof I speak, for ! experience and observation have i been my teachers. There is no j speculation in this plan?only common sense and information I obtained in the best school-- experience. Yours truly, I Sara'l E. White, i Read Kimbrell's Friday Specials. i? . i.

Mr. Nelson McCall died at his home in Clover last Tuesday, j aged 87 years. Mr. McCall was j a native ?f Bethel township and j spent practically the whole of his ; long life in the same neighborhood. He was a brick and stone ! mason by trade and was a well 1 known master of his craft. He leaves two sons, Messers. Reuben i and Robert. The funeral took place at Clover on Tuesday. A citizen of Rock Hill who was in Yorkville yesterday to be registered, noticed that his certificate was numbered 68 and remarked: '"Good gracious there are six or seven hundred unregistered people in Rock Hill. They arc waiting until the board comes j over there they will all expect to get certificates, but they will never do it. I do not believe I that the board could register a Vinrw o /lntr , ,?aa1.-w? ' nuiivuvvt CI uaj UilU^I ctl ly circumstances." Company L, of the Frst regiment South Carolina National Guard, has under way the preparation of a first-class rille range at Sutton's spring, two and onehalf miles west of Yorkvilie. The arrangements consist of a dead wall of brick, banked with earth to stop bullets, and a club j house to accomodate practicing militia and store ammunition and ! appliances. The house has al-' ready been completed at a cost of about $800, and the balance of! the range will be ready within a j few weeks. Mr. Lee Smith who was recent- ! ly arrested in North Carolina and committed to jail in Yorkville on ' the charge of having stolen a horse and buggy from Messrs. j Lassiter and Huntley of Yorkville on June 3, was released on bond ; last Monday and the warrant: against him has been withdrawn. Mr. Smith was in the employ of the Pee Dee Power company and procured an affidavit from two s time-keepers, a physician and a J hotel landlord showing that he ; was at that place at the time the j horse was stolen as well as for some weeks before and after.

The Yorkville Enquirer is installing what is s^itl to be one of , the most up-to-date newspaper presses to be found in any country newspaper office in this sectiod of the country. The press is a "New VVhitlock," weighs 20,000 pounds and has a speed capacity of 2,250 impressions an ' hour. While Kennedy's Lnxativo Cough' Syrup is especially recommended for | children, it is, of course good for adults. Children like to take it because it tastes nearly as good as maple sugar. Its laxative principle drives the cold from the system by a gentle, natural, yet copious action of the bowels, bold by Ardrey'sdrug store. The Yorkville Enquirer and Rock Hill Record are still insisting that the liquor question is the real issue in the York campaign. The Yorkville correspondent of the Charlotte Observer handed out a great bunch of York county political misrepresentations on Monday. WANTED To buy, sell or rent Real Estate.
