I ISSEY. 5 I YORK COUNTY NEWS. (Yorkville Enquirer, Friday.) The Church Home Orphanage, now being maintained in Charleston under the guardianship of the Episcopal diocese of South Carolina, is to be transferred to Yorkville, and the removal is to be effected as soon as it is possible to make the necessary preparations for the change. This fact was definitely and finally settled at a meeting of the majority of the trustees held in Yorkville yesterday. As a matter of fact, it had been virtually settled some two months ago, and the action of the trustees yesterday was fully confirmatory of tne board's original action. Upon the withdrawal of Judge Gage from the race for associate justice yesterday, Senator Stewart went to Hon. John C. Shepr?Ard ?nrl Messrs fili??wr>r?r*Lr Hollis, Sanders and Wilson went j to Judge Hydrick. Mr. B. Frank White, a well known and popular citizen of Yorkville, died at his home on East Liberty street last Wednes^ day night at 8.45 o'clock, and was buried in the Yorkville cemetery yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Mr. White was a native of the Smyrna neighborhood of York county, having been born there on August 8, 1844. He served through the war as a member of the Seventeenth regiment of South Carolina volunteers, and after the war returned to his old home and devoted himself to farming. Two Steele Creek-Barm Burned. The people of Steele Creek neighborhood, in which community during the past two years perhaps twenty barns have been destroyed by what was thought to have been incendiary fires, are much wrought up over two barn burnings which took place there during the past week. On Friday night a barn on the plantation of Mr. W. S. I McClelland, three miles north of this place, was destroyed by fire, together with two fine mules, about 200 bushels of corn and a lot of other feed stuff, the loss reaching perhaps $1,000, with no insurance. The second barn to go up in flames was that of Mr. Richard Kendrick, about 8 miles north of Fort Mill, which was destroyed Saturday night about 11 o'clock. In this building at the time of the fire were four cows, four mules and one horse, valued at $1,100. Besides the barn and its contents, two cribs 10 or 50 feet away, were also burned. These caught from the bara and about 300 bushels of corn were consumed. The whole loss is , probably in the neighborhood of $2,000, with some insurance. There was much indignation in the section both Saturday night and Sunday, when people gathered from the country for miles around. Tracks were found leading across the fields up to the barn and others which led away. These were followed by blood-hounds a distance of about 2 miles, but were lost. It is the hope of all that some clue may be discovered which will lead up to the capture of the parties who fired the buildings. St. Valentine's Day. i In looking up the records oi i St.. Valentine's day, says a writei I in the Charlotte News, it u i found that the good saint, whc i was martyred on that day, A. D i 270, was noted for his verj . amiable disposition, which, prob 1 ably, accounts in a measure foi i Cupid's taking him to be th< ? patron saint of lovers. The giv 1 mg of gifts on this day has beer 1 in vogue forbears. It is also ar . ol<} saying that the birds choos< - * ' V <ir' v vv ?"* ' V ' v y r"-~ v * their mates on the 14th. A great festival was always held in Rome a? early as the third century jri honor of the god Pan. At this season the names of Roman maidens were placed in a box, from which the eligible young met} drew them oift, regular lottery fashion. To the maid whose name he secured the man was obliged to present a gift and take her for his partner during the fete. So, like all festival days, it is found there is a tinge of pagan origin interwoven with religious history. The thread is so entangled that it is almost impossible to dig out the actual development. Col. Leroy Springs. The Lancaster News pf Saturday republishes from a late number of Mutual Interest, an i insurance publication, the following interesting sketch of Col. Leroy Springs: "Col. Leroy ^Springs was born on his father's plantation near Fort Mill, S. C., in 1861. Was prepared for College at Charlotte, N. C., and attended the University .of North Carolina, entering the sophomore class at the age of sixteen. For many years he has been a resident of Lancaster, S. C., and he is prominently identified with the larger movements in the development of the State. As a member of j the firm of Leroy Springs & Co., | he has always been interested in : the cotton industries and is presij dent of five cotton mills. The i Lancaster Cotton Mills, Fort | Mill Mfg. Co. and Millfort Mill, ! Co., Fort Mill, S. C., and the Eureka and Springstein Mills, Chester, S. C. He is also President of the following corporations: Bank of Lancaster, Lancaster & Chester Ry., Columbia Compress Co., of Columbia, S. C., j and Springs & Shannon, Camden, S. C., and Lancaster Mercantile Co., Lancaster, S. C. He is Vice-President of the Kershaw Mercantile & Banking Co., of | Kershaw, and President of the l I Springs Banking & Mer. Co., of Heath Springs. "Col. Springs' ability is recognized throughout the two Carolinas and his council as a director is sought by many banks and manufacturing enterprises. He is a director of the National I T .nun Xr T? v/iLn*>/x/? ~^ uuuil I* UAV.liail^C DillllV, Ul I Columbia. S. C.t arid upon the | reorganization of The Mutual Life Insurance Co. of N. Y., in | 1906, he was elected as one of its trustees an office he still holds. was Colonel on the late Governor Richard's staff for four years, and was chosen as a delegate to the National Conventions of 1892 and 1904. "Col. Springs is a firm believer in life insurance, carrying $500,000 on his life. $250,000 of which is held in The Mutual. This insurance was placed through the South Carolina agency, of which Frederick H. Hyatt, of Columbia, S. C., is manager." Proceedings of Commissioners' Meeting. The county board of commissioners met in monthly session last Wednesday for the purpose of transacting such business as might come up for consideration. Supervisor Gordon presided, and Commissioners Lumpkin and Aycock having duly received their commissions, the meeting marked the first session of the reorganized board. W. B. Wilson, Jr., Esq., was reelected attorney of the board. 1 A resolution was adopted pro| viding that the chaingang be sent to the Turkey creek section of i the Rutherford road as soon as i it completes the work it was sent 1 to do at the place where it now is. There was a petition from citizens of Fort Mill township ask[ ing for the opentng of a public ! road from Yorkville north to the North Carolina line, through lands of W. S. McClelland, Mary McClelland, T. F. Davis and others. The merits of the proposition and its practicability are to be duly investigated. The board : is also to look into a petition asking for the opening of a road i from a point near S. C. Byers' residence on the Rock Hill and 1 McConnellsville road, to a point near the W. S. Percival residence on the Rock Hill and Chester road Contracts were let for the erection of a water closet in the rear | of the court house yard. Mr. W. L.
