Information from Yorkville
Tuesday afternoon was to the
effect that the case of the State
vs. W. E. and Harvey Griffin,
charged with the murder in 1910
of E. P. H. 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

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

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

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. To

and bites use Bucklen's Arnica Salve
promptly to kill the poison and prevent
inflammation, swelling and pain. Heals
burns, boils, ulcers, piles, eczema, cuts,
bruises. Only 25c at Ardrey's Drug'
Store, Fort Mill Drug Co., and Parks

When a man loudly boasts that
he has religion it may be well to
watch him. The man who is
truly religious does not parade
himself. His life speaks for him. ;

This is an age of groat discoveries.
Progress rides on the air. Soon we may

take a wonderful interest in a discovery
that benefits them. That's why Dr.

almost any kind would do, but if
you want to keep the rain out of

you will have to use a dif-;
