MAY MOVE TO ROCK HILL.
Southern Power Company Reported
liissausnea at vnarioiur.
R". Rock Hill, April 10.?There is
; v more than a chance that Rock Hill
may, in the near future, become the
headquarters of the Southern Power
r)'x Company, now located in Charlotte.
V. It is stated on good authority that the
big corporation is dissatisfied with
the new amendment to the charter
& of the city of Charlotte which imP?ses
a 10 per cent, tax on the gross
receipts of corporations doing busi[l\
ness there, and while nothing definite
has been done, it is believed that the
??*' company will move its offices within
a short time.
E Acting on this belief the executive
committee of the chamber of comiSr
- merce has appointed a committee to
go to Charlotte and consult with Mr.
Lee, the vice president, and endeavor
X - to induct them to come here. Rock
Hill is the logical home of the company
and it should never have been
allowed to leave here until every efj
* fort to retain it had been exhausted.
Among the inducements to be o Tered
is the fact that a syndicate stands
ready to erect a $40,000 office building
under plans looking specially to
?" the company's convenience and subject
to its approval.
In Temperance Towns.
This is one of the pet stories of
W. R. Smith, general attorney for
the Santa Fe, says The Kansas City
Star: One must almost be a Kan [;
". san to get the real chuckle out of it.
A man dropped into a Kansas drug
store and asked for a bottle of beer.
"All right," said the druggist,
reaching for the "sign-up" book.
* "What reason shall I give?"
"I'm not sick," said the purchaser.
"Well, if you don't want it for medicinal
purposes, do you want it for
mechanical uses?" asked the druggist.
"Sure, sure?for mechanical," was
the reply.
"Well, specify," went on the druggist.
" 'H'm, h'm," muttered the buyer,
scratching his head. "H'm?oh,
yes?that's right?I want it to
grease a buggy with."
Marriage at Branchville.
Branchville, April 10.?This morning
the people of Branchville were
quite surprised to hear of the quiet
marriage of Mr. W. C. Martin and
Miss Ruth Reeves last night at the
Methodist parsonage, the Rev. E. H.
Beckham officiating, only a very few
intimate friends being present.
Mr. Martin is the son of the Rev.
W. S. Martin, of the South Carolina
conference, and has been superintendent
of the Branchville High
School for the past two years. Mr.
Martin is highly thought of by the
people of this community. Miss
Reeves is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. G. W. Reeves, and one of the
most popular young ladies of the
town.

POSTMASTERS NOT PICKED.
Nothing New Given Out Regarding
Florence and Spartan ourg umces.
Washington, April 10.?John G.
Capers had a conference with Postmaster
General Hitchcock to-day,
. and Senator Smith was at the White
House, but nothing could be learned
as to the next move that will be made
in the Florence and Spartanburg
postoffice matters. t
About two weeks ago the president
told Representative Ellerbe that no
definite action would be taken in the
Florence matter until he could file
aflidavits showing the unfitness of
Howard Cassell, one of the candidates
for the place. Since that time
the matter has been at a standstill
until to-day, when Senator Smith
went to the White House. On coming
away, however, he said there was
nothing to give out in the case.
In the Spartanburg matter, M. W.
Floyd, who has been recommended
by John Capers for the place, is still
here, and will probably not leave until
his nomination is sent to the senate.
It has developed that there may be
trouble in this case, because some of
the friends of O. L. Pace, now money
order clerk in the office, are desirous
of seing him push his claims, as is
also the case with W. F. Young, who
has been assistant postmaster for a
number of years.
Just why Floyd's nomination is being
held up is not known, as it seemed
certain a week ago that he would
be named as the successor to Col.
Poinier at once.
MR. HILL A SUICIDE.
Mayor of McRae, Ga., Says Macon Attorney
Took His Own Life.
McRae, Ga., April 10.?In a statement
nearly 1,000 words long, the
mayor of this village declares tonight
that Pope S. Hill, the Macon attorney
found dead in an office last
Monday, was not murdered, but com
mitted suicide and points out tne
weaknesses of the murder theory.
The fact that the governor withdrew
the reward after a conference
with Hill's law partners is also adduced
by those who believe in the
suicide theory.
Battle With Moonshiners.
Roanoke, Va., April 9.?A special
from Tazewell, Va., to The Times
to-night says:
"In a pitched battle between
moonshiners and revenue officers in
Buchanan county to-day it is be|
lieved that one or more of the moonI
shiners were killed. The gang of alleged
outlaws were operating a whiskey
distillery when surprised by the
officers who began shooting as soon
as the moonshiners showed fight and
refused to surrender. The names of
the wounded men have not been
learned yet. It is reported that the
distillery was operated by a man
and his wife."

Alleged Indian in Lockup at Blacksburg
Under Unusual Charge.
Blacksburg, April 10.?Blacksburg
has had a sensational bear hunt.
While making his rounds some time
after midnight the watchman of the
J. R. Smith Carnival Shows found
that two young bears had escaped
from their cage, and he at once called
for assistance to hunt the bears.
Dogs were secured and easily trailed
some distance, but suddenly lost
them. After daylight, when it became
generally known that the
bears were out, children stayed indoors
and everyone was on the lookout
for bruin. About 9 o'clock Chief
Duncan got a clue and it led him to
Gaffney, where he found that a man
had hired a team, come to Blacksburg,
secured the bears and returned
to Gaffney, where he hired another
team and drove to Pacolet. There
he, with the bears, caught a train for
Carlisle and from there ne went to
Whitmire.
Hebrew Dies in Aiken.
Aiken, April 10.?Yesterday afternoon
M. Rimland, a Jewish shopkeeper,
of this city, died after years
of illness of consumption. He has
been in Aiken for about two years.
For several days he has been expected
to die. Yesterday afternoon he
was in the front of his store, when
he was suddenly attacked. He seized
a vial, said to contain carbolic
acid, and drank a small quantity of 1
it. He died soon after, but it is not

with the intention of committing suicide.
The physicians state that he
did not drink a large enough quantity
to cause death, although the
general impression is that he was a
suicide. It is probable that he was
unconscious at the time he drank the
liquid.
Church to be Returned.
In the matter of the Methodist
church built at Livingston with dispensary
profits, the following disposition
of the matter will be of interest:
At the second quarterly conference
of Norway charge the following
resolution was passed by a large ma
joritv: . I
Whereas, the lot and building j
erected for a church, in the town of;
Livingston, in said charge, was erect- |
ed and accepted under a misappre- i
hension,
Therefore be it resolved by the
second quarterly conference of said
charge held on the 20th day of
March, 1909, at Pine Hill church,
that steps be taken by the trustees i
of this charge to have said lot and j
church building returned immediately
to the town authorities of Livingston.

Rival Bank Factions in Orangeburg
Go Full Length in Price.
According to the Orangeburg
News there are certain people in
Oraneehnre who are willing to pay
the price for bank stock when they
want to get control of a bank. The
News says that two factions have
been trying to get control of the
People's Bank there. The stock has
a par value of $100 and a market
value of $160 the share. Last Saturday
it was discovered that there
were seven shares not held by either
faction, and of course the purchase
of this small block would give the
purchaser control. Up to that time
$200 the share had been paid for the
stock. The owner of the seven
shares was a shrewd man. He knew
what was up and would not fix a
price. He wanted both factions to
make sealed bids. This was done.
The one who got the stock bid $12,025
for the seven shares. The other
side bid only $2,000. The winner
certainly paid dear for the control,
but he got it. And the man who held
the seven shares is over $10,000 better
off than he ever dreamed he
would be.

Lumber Men Ask Protection.
Washington, April 7.?A delegation
of South Carolina lumbermen
arrived here to-day to urge upon the
South Carolina members of congress
their claims to a duty on lumber.
They conferred with Messrs. Ellerbe,
Finley, Johnson and Lever in Mr.
Ellerbe's room this afternoon and
discussed with them the situation.
The lumber men present were D. W.
Alderman, of Alcolu, W. H. Andrews
and G. A. Doyle, of the Atlantic
rnnqt Lumber Conmanv. George
town; J. W. Allen and T. W. Boyle,
Sumter; J. W. Maynard, Cheraw.
They told the South Carolina members
that to take the $2 tariff duty
off lumber would not lower the price
to the consumer in South Carolina
and would put them practically out
of the Northern market, where the
bulk of their lumber now goes. Only
about 5 or 6 per cent, of the lumber
manufactured in South Carolina,
they said, is sold in South Carolina.
Most of the lumber used in the
State, they said, is made at the
small mills, which do not do any export
business. The duty, they claimed,
would not affect these small mills
one way or the other.
To Utilize Cotton Stalks.
Cordele, Ga., April 10.?Dirt will
be broken here Monday morning on
the first cotton stalk paper mill ever
erected. The Southern Cotton Pulp
and Paper Company has been chartered
with a capital stock of $175,000
and the material is on the
ground for the erection of the buildings.
The capacity of the plant will
be 25 tons per day. About 440 tons
of cotton stalks will be consumed in
making a day's output. News print
paper will be the principal product.

STORE ENTERED AT BRUNSOX- j
Attempt of Thieves to Rob Establish-1
ment of Moore-Barnes Co.
Brunson, April 10.?Thursday
night, while a number of the young
men of this town were serenading a
bride and groom, a party of thieves,
taking out a pane of glass from one;
of the back windows of the large gen- i
eral merchandise store of the Moore- j
Barnes Company, entered the store j
and helped themselves to the largest i
telescopes, filling them with dry!
goods and gents' ware to tne i
amount of about $300. This hap-!
pened while the watchman was ex- j
tinguishing some lights on the prem- j
ises. On returning and hearing aj
slight disturbance within, he report-!
ed it to Mr. Barnes and secured the
aid of the band of serenaders and
surrounded the store, but unfortunately
the boys were unarmed and j
as Mr. Barnes and the watchman en-j
tered the thieves made their escape j
in safety by breaking through thej
plate glass window in front. However,
they left their burden behind
and it is believed that the MooreBarnes
Company has lost nothing.
, On account of the rain that had been
falling in the early part of the night
the thieves could be easily tracked
and after securing sufficient arms
they were tracked for a considerable
distance and one arrest made. It is
very probable that all of the guilty
parties will be apprehended', for they
are believed to be negroes living in
town.
Magistrate Frees Boy Who Stole Caol
New York, April 10.?James Finley,
a boy of 17, was arraigned before
Magistrate Crane in the Morrisiana
court to-day, charged with stealing
6 cents worth of coal from the
railroad yards in Mott Haven. The
widowed mother of the boy said he
went after the coal because it was
cold in their home. She and her
children, she said, were on the verge
of starvation. The magistrate, apparently
affected by the pitiful case
of need, discharged the boy, remarking,
"Young man, I am going to discharge
you, but I want to tell you
something. If you want to steal wait
or>a nrocirtpnt nf a railroad.
until JUU ui V ?
Then you can steal anything you
want and have no fear of punishment.
Till then you must never look
at a railroad car, or you might be arrested."
"Naval" Recruits Immersed.
St. Louis, April 11.?While thousands
of persons struggled for points;
of vantage to-day, 80 of the 125 recruits
for the "Navy of the Lord," a
negro church, were immersed in the
icy water of the Mississippi river by
Rev. J. B. Parker, who is called "the
admiral" by his converts. The baptized
negroes, after running from the
water, hanged their garments in a
nearby boiler. Forty-five recruits
turned their backs on the "navy"when
they felt the cold water. i
