Dead in a Gully. A telephone message late ? Tuesday afternoon from upper Fort Mill township brought the intelligence that the dead body of an unkown white man had been found in a gully near a farm * road on the plantation of Mr. * Z. T. Bailes. There was nothing on the person of the dead man ^ whereby his identity could be es- ] tablished. * The 'phone message stated ( that from appearances the man 1 must have been dead a week or 1 more. One of the residents of the community had seen him j passing along one of the public ' roads about a week ago. It was ! also stated that an empty gun 1 shell was found near the spot ( where the man lay, that the ground showed evidences of a ( struggle, and that barefoot ( tracks were plainly visible lead- ( ing to and from the spot. From ( this evidence it is believed that the stranger came to his death I' by foul means. A package car- 1 ried by the dead man bore an advertisement, on the wrapping 1 paper, of a firm at Stroup, N. C. ^ Magistrate McElhaney yester- 1 day empaneled a jury and went up to view the body and hold an I inquest, and it was expected that 1 some evidence would be adduced ^ which would probably establish ' the identity of the dead man and 5 the manner in which he came to ! his death. 1 Will Give Baby and Floral Show.

Bailes, one of the best known citizens in the Pleasant Valley section, died 5aiuraay nignt at ?u o'ciock at his home 4 miles east of Fort Mill. The funeral services were held Sunday morning from his late residence and the remains were conveyed to Pleasant Hill Methodist churchyard where the nterment was made. Rev. W. M. Owings, pastor of that church >fficiated. Mr. Bailes was 71 years old, md had been a sufferer for more than six months with heart .rouble and Bright's disease. The md* had been expected almost my time throughout the last two >r three days and nights. Most )f his family were present with rim at the close of his days. He s survived by his wife, who was Mrs. Mary Sophie Billue, a native )f the Pleasant Valley section, md the following named sons ind daughters: Messrs. J. Z., 1. J. and S. E. Bailes and Miss Sleeker Bailes and Mrs. Robert A. Bryant, the last named of Charlotte. About a year ago a lister, Mrs. Will Pettus died, md the last sister, Mrs. S. L. 5atterson, passed away only two veeks ago. Mr. Bailes was a man who had nade a record in more ways than >ne. He was a veteran of the var between the States, and lerved valiantly throughout that lervice. At the close of that >eriod of strife ho returned to he place of his people, who had emoved from Lancaster county, n South Carolina, and with his ast money procured a newspaper vhich was the beginningof what vas afterward to be an education >f no slight import. Within hese years since the war, he lad acquired a measure of deep earning mat was no sngnt tiling md part of the make-up of the nan. From his condition of alnost pennilessness he also beame one of the wealthiest men n his section, and he leaves an ;state of considerable value in tctual convertible cash in adlition to plantations that emirace something more than 2,000 teres of fine land. Mr. Bailes had been most of lis life a communicant of the dethodist church, and while he vas never a man of the pretenious type, he was dovout and levoted. He was extremely iberal and kind-hearted and was lever called on in vain to assist ill worthy causes, and the calls nade upon him by his fellowmen, >f whose trials and reverses he cnew because of actual kinship vith such through positive exicrience when the war and other ;ypes of ill fortune had overaken him. In his practice of iveryday life Mr. Bailes was a nan of the clean, broad, unrammeled and independent :haracter, and he combined with ;uch qualifications all of the lualities of the old-fashionedill of whirh mnrlo nr? tl-m oconn. ials of the big-hearted man and generously thoughtful and con.iderate citizen. Fort Mill Lodge No. 60. The following communication ippeared in the Tri-State Odd ^ellow for September: As I have seen nothing from >ur lodge in your paper recently, r. have concluded to let you hear 'rom us, though, as you will unloubtedly discover from this let;er, writing for the papers is not ny special forte. Our lodge was organized about twelve years ago, from a small beginning has grown to be the argest of the four secret orders n the town?numbering nearly >ne hundred and fifty members. To Brother B. C. Ferguson, >ur faithful District Deputy, is iue the credit for the promising condition of the affairs of the Drier in this community. His very leart and soul is in the work and le is untiring in hiseirorts to ad/ance its interests. There is a growing Rebekah uodge in our town, and it bids fair to become both large and lseful. The members seem to oe fully alive to the fact that the odge was not instituted in the merest 01 irivoious lun and frolic, but in the interest of fuller performance of high, noble ana sacred duties in a dignified and systematic manner. A movement is on foot looking to the establishing of an Encampment in our midst, and from what I know of those in charge I must say that I think it will soon materialize. Fraternally yours, J. C. McElhany. ? Kodol will, without doubt, make your stomach strong and will almost inst antly relievo you of all the symptoms of indigestion.

ARDREY'S. ; ? ? ? ?? Cinder Deflectors Being Provided. Cinder deflectors that will actually deflect cinders arc now being placed upon the passenger coaches used by the Southern railway in this State. The last legislature passed a statute requiring the roads in South Carolina to equip their cars with cinder deflectors like those used on Pullmans or else 1 of a pattern equally efficient. All the roads complied, after so ; long a time, but the dtvice provided by the Southern Railway ] did not meet with approval of j the traveling public and a proI test was registered with the rail road commission. The contraption was a narrow makeshift, of sheet-iron and soft pine, and at first many of them dropped out of the windows and were lost. To stop this the company affixed to each deflector a bit of wire and the free end of this was secured to a nail driven into the window casing. Still the device was unsatisfactory, for it did not deflect many cinders. Upon being notified that the device was unsatisfactory, the Southern went to work and designed a substitute. The model of this was submitted to the commission and approved, and the device is being placed in the coaches. It is of the same pattern as the Pullman deflector but is wider and will do much toward the comfort of travelers. FOR SALE -The O'Connell residence and 30 acres of land adjoining. Apply on premises.
