Nivens, would be called on Wednesday. A number of Fort Miil people went to Yorkville yesterday to hear the case. The York grand jury on Monday returned a true bill against J. A. Eubanks, charged with the murder in Rock Hill a few weeks ago of Henry Putnam, a young white man. It stated that the attorneys for Eubanks would make an effort to have the case removed to another county. Among the recent entries into the county campaign is John S. Sandifer, of Yorkville, who will make the race for the office of sheriff. Mr. Sandifer was deputy sheriff during the time that John R. Logan was sheriff of the 4? ? ? J - nnnnnintoil county HI1U is wen at-ifunuHvu with the duties of the office. The Fourth of July was observed in Fort Mill by a general suspension of business, all the stores, banks, postoffice and mills being closed. There was nothing in the nature of a celebration in the town and many of our people spent the day in Charlotte, while a number went over to Gastonia where a big celebration was pulled otf. The Fort Mill Light Infantry, Co. K, First regiment, N. G. S. C., will leave next Monday morning for Anniston, Ala., where, with the other companies of the regiment, it will go into camp for ten days. The local company will be in command of Capt. T. B. Spratt and it is expected that a large part of the fifty-odd members will make the trip. The company will leave Fort Mill at 7:12 a. m. and the trip will be made by way of Rock Hill, Blacksburg and Atlanta to Anniston. Edward Price, aged about 10 years, and son of Mr. E. B. Price, of Clover, was instantly killed Fridav morning by coming in con tract with a sagging wire from the Southern Power company's lines. Accompanied by an older ^ brother the little fellw was on his way to the field a short distance * from the house, to help hoe corn. He had a hoe in his hand. From such information as could be had by telephone, it appears that he tripped on the sagging wire be fore he saw it, and fell across it, Death came instantly. It was something like a half hour befon it was possible to get thecurreir turned off the line and during that time me unit? leuim ? wuj was horribly burned. Reactionary and Progressive.

The tax is 25 cents a Charged With Ugly Offence. Two men by the names of Miller and Baker, operatives at the Manchester mill, Rock Hill, and a woman named Cranford, were arrested Saturday upon a very ugly charge and given a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Glenn, of Ebenezer township. The evidence tended to show that Miller had inveigled four young girls, two of them orphans and the others a widow's daughters, to the Cranford woman's house and there had Baker, who does some photography, to make a number of pictures in the nude. The girls are 8 to 11 years old. Miller was bound over to court and Baker was released under $200 bond, and the woman on her recognizance. Mrs. J. Lawrence Moore Dead. Rock Hill, July 5.?The body of Mrs. J. Lawrence Moore, who died Thursday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. D. Arthur, in Union, arrived here this afternoon and will lie in St. John's M. E. church until noon tnmnrmw whpn the funeral ser vice will be preached by Rev. E. K. Hardin, the pastor. Mrs. Moore, who was the widow of the late J. Lawrence Moore, of this city, was one of Rock Hill's oldest inhabitants and in its earlier years one of the most'zealous members of St. John's church. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Arthur and Mrs. Bethill, of Union. New Pastor for Steele Creek Church. Sunday morning Rev. John W. Orr, of Corinth, Miss., took up his work as pastor of Big Steele Creek church, over in Mecklenburg county, he being the eighteenth minister to fill the pastorate since the organization of the church in .1760. Rev. Mr. Orr succeeds the Rev. W. A. Cleveland, who, on account of ill health, resigned some time ago. The Charlotte News of Monday contained an interesting sketch of Steele Creek church, a part of which is reproduced below: The congregation of Steele Creek celebrated the 150th anniversary of its founding last July by fitting exercises that looto/4 tKrr.iicyh thrpp flflVS and 1 CIOIV.VA biuvubii w being participated in by several of the living ex-pastors, who c-anie back home to share in the exercises. The congregation has a membership at present of over seven hundred, with a daily attendance in the Sunday school of about three hundred. The congregation is remarkable for the large per cent, of its membership that attends church regularly. They do not attend spasmodically or only on special occasions but regularly and consistently. Although the membership, or the larger part of it, resides in an area about ten miles square, it is only during the most inclement weather of the winter months - that keeps the people of Steele Creek away from the house of public worship the first day of the seven. Practically the entire membership being Scotch-Irish and descendants of the first settlers without any admixture of outside blood, the congregation retains in a very marked degree the characteristics of thrift, sobriety and high moral tone which mark all Scotch-Irish communities. There is a consequent average of intelligence and progressiveism found in few communities in the counties and it has been a matter of note for years the number of leading and influential citizens furnished the county by the congregation of Big Steele Creek church. Mrs. Elizabeth Sturgis Dead. Information was received in Fort Mill Thursday of the death Tuesday at Bristol, Tenn., ol Mrs. Elizabeth Sturgis, wife of Mr. Ben A. Sturgis.

Woodrow Wilson's Family. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the Democratic presidential nominee, is an artist of considerable ability and a number of her paintings adorn the walls of the "little White House" at Seagirt, N. J. At one time she expected to make a profession of painting. It was she who i was responsible for the governor spending his summers at Old Lyme, Conn., where there is a large artist colony, and the governor enjoyed it too, "for" said Mrs. Wilson today, "the change from the academic to the artistic atmosphere proved enjoyable as well as beneficial to Li? i mm. Mrs. Wilson's three daughters are all talented. They resemble their father closely in looks. Margaret the oldest, has a fine soprano voice and often joins her j father after dinner in singing a I duet. Jessie, the second daughter, is a settlement worker in Philadelphia. Eleanor, the youngest inherits her mother's bent for painting and is studying art at a New York school. Insect Bite Costs Leg. A Boston man lost his leg from the bite of an insect two years before.

That is about all some people seem to know about the quality of shingles. If shingles were made just to spank children with almost any kind would do, but if you want to keep the rain out of your house yor years without repair, you will have to use a dif-; ferent standard to judge by. If You Don't you certainly will be punished for your carelessness. About the worst punishment that a big, grown-up man can receive is to know he has been "stung." J. J. BAILES.
