Thp ahpriffs of South P.nrolirm are this week assembled at the Isle of Palms, the occasion being the annual convention of the South Carolina Sheriffs' association. Dr. .T. E. W. Haiie. a Rock Hill physician, was cleared of the charge of malpractice in York court, at Yorkville, last week. After hearing the evi- j dence and after deliberation the I jury returned a verdict of "not; guilty." Simon Rich, a young attorney of the Orangeburg bar, died in Columbia Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock at a hospital as the result of injuries which he sustained two weeks ago in an automobile accident. The Equitable Life Assurance , society, through its Rock Hill office, has received a check for $82,302.64, in settlement of the death claim on the life of the late Augustine T. Smythe. attorney. of Charleston. Miss Mamie Brown, of Macon, Ga., was drowned in the surf at Sullivan's Island Friday morn?u i 11 _?_i?i- 1 i i UIH it 1HIUI 11 l> ClUt'K, <111(1 I1CI" friend. Miss l<ena Rankin, also j of Macon, was all but drowned ; when rescued by Henry Raworth ! of Augusta. A movement is on foot to hold an encampment at Batesburg of the four Columbia companies, with possibly one other, and negotiations are now being made whereby these companies will go to Batesburg about the middle of August for a stay of a week or ten days. The supreme court in a decision Monday by Chief Justice Gary reversed the order of the Anderson circuit court requiring the fiscal officers of Anderson county to pay the salary of A. B. Sullivan, on the ground that he was the duly appointed magistrate for the city of Anderson during the time specified in his petition. Bail was obtained during the last week for Geo. Roberts who. several days ago, shot and killed R. H. I,ove in the Haile Gold Mine section of Lancaster county, by his attorney. D. Reece Williams, who appeared for that purpose before Judge Ernest Moore at Yorkville. the application for bail being granted in the ! sum of $3,000 S. M. Sloan, chief inspector of the State dennrtment of n<rri_ culture, accompanied by two inspectors of the department, visited Rock Hill Monday to study the needs of the farmers in the section of York county visited by the hail storm of several days ago. A complete ! report will be made of the con- j dition of the farmers of the dis- j trict. Might Have Been Accidental. J. J. Enlow informs The Her- j aid that the family physician at- | tending J. G. Enloe is of the opinion that there is some doubt i as to whether Mr. Enloe, whose death was mentioned Monday, | swallowed poison intentionally, j despite the fact that on the surface it looked like a plain case of self destruction. The theory advanced by the physician was that j Mr. Enloe was seized with a sud- ; den attack of his trouble and took a dose in the hope of relief. His pain was not diminished and another dose was taken, and so on until too much had entered into the system. A similar occurrence once before adds to the strength of this theory. This occurred at home and physicians were able to counteract the effeet of the drug. -Rock Hill BmM. v X - ? : * ~ "-1 .. v .

To many wonderful things that exist in New York but which to the average New Yorker are matters of commonplace interest, is soon to be added an apartment which will be higher than any other habitation in the world. This will be the home of Frank W. Woolworth, who is going to establish a suite of rooms on the 4f>th floor of his great office structure. which towers to a height of 51 stories. The eyrie in the clouds, for such it will be. as the apartment will be far removed from the humdrum life of the sidewalk crowds, will unquestionably rank as the most desirable of the city's thousands of desirable costly housing accommodations. Situated 700 feet above the level of the sidewalk, higher than all but a few of the really taller build a 1 iir l xi. ? - uigs, tne wooiwortn apartment will have unobstructed views of all the city, and as for light and air, no other suite extant will equal its facilities. Moreover, these matters may be considered as being permanent for the probability of any obstructing: building is very remote. The tower sections of the Woolworth building:, which occupies the block front on Broadway between Barclay street and Park Place, has an area of 3,600 square feet, of which about 2,500 feet, the size of *\ standard city lot, are avai' for use. the remainder being: for walls, partitions, and elevator wells. The home in the skyscraper will probably he utilized only as a resting place during business hours, but its establishment will direct the thought of persons interested in matters pertaining to office buildings to speculating that it may solve the problem of unrented spaces in tall buildings which could be adapted for similar purposes when they fail to rent for the business as originally intended.

Their Names on the fiah Southern Railway engineers who have made exceptionally pood records in keeping their locomotives in pood condition are to be honored by havinp their names painted on the panels of their cabs. In announcinp this new plan. Vice President and General ManaperE. H. Coapman state that it has been adopted as a mark of Southern Railway's appreciation of the interest which its enpineers have taken in the condition and appearance of their locomotives. Southern Railway practice is, as far as ! possible, to allow each repular ' enpineer to have his individual : locomotive. The engineers feel i a preat personal pride in the i appeatance of their locomotives j and many of them have been ' beautifully decorated in which the company has cooperated with j the men. Under the new ar- [ rangement each engineer who has run an individual locomotive for a stated number of miles, rated according to the class of the engine, without going into the shop for general overhauling, will have his name placed on the cab panel.

The books of County Treasurer Neil show that the taxable value of all property in the county in 1913 was $9,200,120, an increase over the previous year of $225,359, despite the fact that no new assessment was made. This represented the increase in business in the county. Of this amouni '114,41.1,liji1) represented real estate, $3,661,47 personal property and $1,077,488 railroad property. For 1914 a new assessment is made and it is expected that there will be a material increase in the taxable values. However, it will be some time before the books are completed and an accurate estimate of the increase can be given. The books aie now being prepared by Auditor Love, but it will be fully a couple of months before they are completed and turned over tc the treasurer. A New Postal Card. Official notice of a new issue of a postal card series, with the portrait of Jefferson instead of McKinley. has been sent out from the postoffice department. The Jefferson postal card is known as the No. 8 card. It is the same size as the present card with the face of McKinley, this being officially designated the No. 4 card. The paper of the recently authorized issued is to be cream, printed in green ink. The subject of the stamp is a profile portrait of Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, looking to the left. The background of the portrait is open and is surrounded with a circular border, bearing in capital letters the words, "U. S. Postal Card. One Cent." This border rests upon a curved base containing a ribbon in which appears the name "Jefferson," with the numeral "1" in an elips on either end. To the left of the stamp is a horizontal line of Gothic capitals, with the inscription. "This side for the address," surrounded by a panel of plain lines having concave corners.

Mr. \\. F. Stevenson, candidate for Congress, was the person to have credit for the completion of our State house. The advocates of the hill providing for that were beaten by the economists because it would increase taxes. He came forward with the proposition to let the the State borrow money from the Sinking Fund commission and repay it at $15,000 a year. Build it and pay for it on the installment plan. The News & Courier, referring ; to the apparent defeat of the ? measure, says, "But Mr. Stevenson came to the rescue. He showed that the Sinking Fund commission had nearly $200,000 in a bank drawing four per cent.
