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

The World's Highest Habitation.
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.

sermon that Rev. P. M. Bailes

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.

County's Taxable Values.
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.

rate and let the State treasury
refund it at the rate of $15,000 a

Come to the congressional campaign
meeting at Yorkville July
28. Fort Mill July 28. at night,
McConnellsville July 24, at 11
o'clock, and he will tell you.
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.
