The hopes of the members of the National Guard of South Carolina have gone glimmering, so far as an encampment is con-1 cerned, says The State. While no official statement has been made by Adjt. Gen. Moore* it is very doubtful as to whether either of the three regiments of the j National Guard will go into camp during the summer. Lack of funds is given as the reason. Col. E. T. Atkinson, one of Chester's oldest and best known citizens, and his wife. Mrs, Eliza Atkinson, both died suddenly in Chester Monday afternoon. Colonel Atkinson had been in failing health for several months and for the last few days had been confined to his bed. He died suddenly ot and his wife, when j u v v?w? ?..nnpi apprised of the sad event ten minutes later, died instantly. Friday night Mr. Ralph G. Bryant, a well known young farmer of the Providence neighborhood, sustained a loss of about $250 in a fire which destroyed an outhouse containing a quantity of unthreshed oats. The fire was supposed to have been of incendiary origin. It was with much effort that Mr. Bryant and his farm laborers succeeded in preventing the fire from spreading to other nearby buildings* M-imi Vi , - I mmm v Steel Creek Home Burned. Saturday shortly after noon Mr. J. H. Potts of this city received a telephone message from his brother, Mr. Walter Potts, telling of the destruction by fire of tte home of the latter in Steel Creek. The building was of the colonial style and contained eight or nine rooms, being one of the most spacious in that section. Its destruction was total, only the chimneys remaining. Of his household goods and furniture Mr. Potts was able to save a small part, the remainder being burned. The fire was said to have originated in a kitchen flue, where a fire had been burning in the kitchen stove during the morning. There was some insurance on the burned property, about $500 it is understood, but the total loss to Mr. Potts was placed at several thousand dollars. Rock Hill's New Depot. Fort Mill visitors to Rock Hill during the past few days say that materials for the construction of the new passenger station j are now being placed on the site which was graded some time ago. The improvements which are i now under way are to include a new pressed brick passenger station, two stories high, with tile roof, stone trimmings and1 elevated platform, together witn steam-heating plant. On account of the difference in the elevation of the Columbia and Charleston tracks at Rock Hill, ; and to prevent the back-up movement of Charleston division trains, which was heretofore I necessary in order to reach the 1 old passenger station, the new j station will be located in the angle of the crossing of the two divisions. The lower, or main, floor and waiting rooms will be on the Columbia division level and the upper floor and elevated passenger landing or platform about four hundred feet in length on the Charleston division level. Massey-Hunter Nuptials. Miss Lillie Belk Massey was j married here Thursday evening i to Mr. John Cleon Hunter of Woodruff, S. C. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. A. . Hafner at the handsome home of the bride's father, Mr. L. J. j Massey. The only attendants were Miss Rebecca Lyles of i Winnsboro, and Mr. Johnson j Hunter, a brother of the groom, and the little flower couple. The marriage had been anxiously anticipated for many weeks and suitable preparations had been made for it. The home was j handsomely decorated in white ' and green. The wedding march j was played by Mrs. Thomas B. Spratt, preceded by a song by j Miss Helen Salley of Orangeburg, and after the ceremony elegant refreshments and light supper were served. Tag Tax Receipts. The receipts in the State treasurer's office from the sale of fertilizer tax tags up to date for this year have been $239,589.31, and it is probable that the, sales for the year will exceed those of any previous year. For the same period last year the I receipts were $213,126.28. Thej total for 1910 was $240,098.95, j and if the sales for the balance j of this year amount to as much as they did for this part of the season last year the total for 1911 will amount to $266,562. It is expected, however, that from now until the close of the year the sales will be larger than ever, and that the total will reach at least $275,000. Every cent of this fund is turned over to Clemson college. ? The State. Will Resume Hostilities. The peace regulations entered into with such great solemnity between Rock Hill, Chester and Lancaster seem to be going to pieces. Recently The Chester Lantern made fun of the Rock Hill Record's poet laurate. And this week The Record said something about "Chester and other small places." This we think, is I sufficient provocation to justify Chester in calling off all peace negotiations with Rock Hill. And when the tug of war comes it will Ge impossible for Lancaster to remain neutral, for that warlike town has already grown impatient over the few weeks of peace that has reigned among these rival municipalities.?Waxhaw Enterprise.
