The Times regrets the loss
this week of several short items
of country news which were received
through the mail, and
misplaced in some manner.
Kenyon Young, the little son

! for the preparation of the bonds.
These are township bonds and
i only bear 5 per cent. This was
probably the highest price ever
paid for township bonds in this
or in any other Southern State,
and shows the high rating of
Lancaster county's financial afro
fhoco Knnkprs and their
i an o uj tiivuv - ?
faith in its future developments.
The Times man made a "flying"
trip to Pineville Monday
afternoon, this being his first

improvements he saw was the
new drug store of the Pineville
Pharmacy. The building is of
brick, nicely finished inside, and
is owned by W. B. Warwick,
proprietor of the Pineville Pharmacy.
To The Times man, the
town of Pineville seems to offer
an excellent opportunity for the
establishment of a general mercantile
business. Pineville is
backed by a good farming section
and there is money there for the
man with a good stock of general
merchandise.
Eubanks Denied Bail.
At Chester Friday Judge Geo.
W. Gage refused to grant bail tc
J. A. Eubanks who stands in'
| dieted for the murder of Henry
Putnam in Rock Hill on June 16.
. Eubanks is confined in York jail,
where he will remain until hi.<
trial, which in all probability
f j will be called at the term oi
court which convenes on Monday
j July 8. The prisoner was repre
j sented before Judge Gage by
, W. B. Wilson, Jr. Self-defens<
was the ground upon whicl
Eubanks sought bail and was re
' fused.
p A report from Rock Hill state:
r that the employees of the Vic
j toria cotton mill, of which Put
nam was an employe, hav<
started a subscription for a fun<
; with which to prosecute Police
r man Eubanks. The Victori;
*. employees feel, it is said, tha
? the killing of Putnam was wholly
- unjustifiable and without provo
: cation and that they will mak
} every effort to have the office

York County News.
Yorkville Enquirer, 25th.
Information from the big road
working plant down in Catawba
township is to the effect that it
is going right along. It has been
over the road from LessJie to
Catawba Junction, from Lesslie
to Catawba river, from Lesslie to
the Chester line and was on the
Columbia road yesterday. While
working on the main roads, runs
were taken up and down some of
their various branches and during
the past week something like 30
miles of road has been covered.
As the crew becomes more experienced
the work progresses
j more easily and is being better
done.
Only one venire of jurors has
been drawn for the summer term j
of the circuit which convenes |

be but one week of jury busii
ness. Under the law as it now
stands, common pleas jury cases
may be taken up immeditely following
the disposition of the
sessions business, and if the
work of the sessions is concluded
in time the understanding is that
several civil actions will be
pressed for trial. The jurors
drawn for the first week therefore
may count upon it that they
are in for a full week of service.
Rock Hill's new passenger
station was thrown open to the
traveling public yesterday. The
building is a double deck affair
so constructed as to take care of
both branches of the Southern
railway, the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta below and the
Marion and Kingville above.
Heretofore, as most people are
aware, the Marion and Kingville i
trains have had to "go down |
into the hole" to put off and take
on passengers at Rock Hill and
the arrangement has been a
; source of annoyance to the public ,
and expense to the railroads.
, Now all trains on both roads
strike the station at the proper
level, and there is no unneces!
sary delay or inconvenience, j
! The new station is said to have
, cost $50,000.
Tillman's Health Excellent.
A. W. * Knight, editor of the!
. Bamberg Herald and recently
appointed postmaster at Bam
"* J ?u:
Derg, visuea wasuiugiun a tew
days ago, and in writing of his I
trip to the capital has this to say I
of Senator B. R. Tillman's health:
j "It was a great pleasure to
1 know that our representatives
and senators stand well and have
much influence. Senator Tillman
is in better health than for
years. He looks anything else
than like a dead man. He is at
his office in the capitol building
every day promptly at eleven
o'clock and attends to his duties
just the same as before his illnsss.
However, he doesn't make
speeches now, in fact he doesn't
have to, but there is no question
that he is the most influential
senator in Washington.
