?Tbe Yorkville Enquirer of Wed- j
nesday contains an engraving showing 1
a handsome new business block that
has recently been built in Rock Hill to
replace buildiDgs destroyed by fire
more than a year ago. The buildiDgs
are handsome and make a pretty showing.
Rock Hill is a very progressive
np-to-date little city and we wish that j
more of her life and progressive spirit
could be infused into our town. During
the last few years we huve improved,
however, and in a few more
mav make such strides as Rock Hill
has done.

?Soon after the death of Col. F.

the columns of The State ihat the name

honor of Col. MeMaster. This, we
tbink, would be a graceful tribute to
the memory of a man who for so many
years was identified with Columbia
and who was always interested in
anything that was for the public good.
This would be a lasting memorial, and
it is hoped that the Columbia people
will carry out the suggestion.
?The State Fair, for which many
preparations are beiog: made by the
executive committee, will open on

come forward and take a prominent

the farmers can do, and they should
not lose the opportunity of letting
others see what they can do.
?Gen. McCrady, in his history of
South Carolina, in speaking of the
superstitious and queer ideas of the
people during the early history of the
State, says that "In Fairfield County,
in this State, witches abounded." In
these enlightened and civilized days it
seems almost incomprehensible that
sensible people could be so ignorant.
It is bard, too, to realize that onr
forefathers, the Men who lived just
where we now live, should have feared
tbe "evil eye" and lived in dread of
some innocent old woman. It seems,
however, that the witches in tnese
parts did not sufier snch pnnishment

forty years. The headstone was erect

It is the custom with many shows to
cut (he night performance, that is,
omit manv of the acts, in order to get
through early and hasteu the tearing
down a'^i departure for the oext
town. The Great Wallace Show guarantees
never to do this. Mr. U allace
is a moM conscientious thowinan; he
asserts ibat money received at night
is worth ; s much ou the dollar as tfre 1
iIhy money, and that his patrons srej
entitled to just a1? much for it; he I
icaintains that he has no right to give

of the side streets and of every

The ox-eyed daisy, it is said, w?.s
brought here from the North in b vlcs
of hay, and was at first seen oniy
along railroad track?, and from there
spread over the entire South. It was
not known here before the war. This

interesting to note the appearance of
new wild flowers, even though they
are apt to become nuisances to farmers.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in tbe land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The proprietors
of Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Cousbs and Cold?, have
given away over ten miliion trial bottles
of th;3 great medicine; and have
the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely
cured thousauds of hopeless
cases. Asthma, Brohcbiti?, Hoarseness
and ail diseases of the Throat,
Chest and Lungs are sured by it. Call
on McMaster Co , druggists, and get a
trial bottle free. Regular size 50c. and

?The Chester correspondent of The
State announced that Rev. J. W. C.
Johnson, rector of the Rock Hill
Episcopal Church, intended moving
to Chester as soon as the improvements
on the Chester chnrch were
completed. The Rock Gill Herald,
however, corrects this statement and
states upon good authority that Mr.
Johnson has no iotentioo of leaving
liock Hill.
