McMaater, <>f the Twenty fourth In fantry, formerly commandant at the Citadel. The light took place in the I thick underwood and lasted thirty min utes. The mayor of Rock Hill has estab lished the rule of punishing those guilty of carrying "unlawful weapons" by aj tine of $100 or 30 days in prison.

The recent attempted hold-up of the street paving work at Sparenburg seems to be a part of a light that is go ing on in several cities between the Barber Asphalt Company and Warren Bros.
