heart trouble.
?The Fort Mill friends of Mr.

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<

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
