?City council has recently had s
some much need grading done at s
the intersection of Confederate I

?The building committee of ?
the Winthrop board last week [

the neighborhood of $50,000.
?Mr. William Bratton McCaw, c
a leading lawyer of the York a
county bar, died at his home in c
Yorkville Sunday afternoon at I
5 o'clock from the effects of an a
attack of gastritis sustained about
two weeks ago. The deceased 1
was a son of the late R. G. Mc- I
Caw, once Lieutenant Governor \
of the State, and was in the 51st t
year of his age. c
?Mr. B. M. Lee, lately of New |
Mexico, is nrenariner to arive the
poultry business a test on his
Slantation 2 miles south of town.
Ir. Lee will stock his place with
White Leghorns, having a few
days ago bought 200 of these
chickens from a poultry dealer
of New York State. This is an
industry which has been needed
in this vicinity for many years,
and as Mr. Lee has had experience
in poultry raising, there
is no reason to believe that he
will not meet with success in his
undertaking.
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.

Mr. J. P. Bailes Passes Away.
Mr. James P. 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.

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.
