Aiffbt For Roc Hill To Be Married.
Concord has a splendid reputation
for marrying people, but there are
i v ies when couples do not care to
marry in their own town, but would
lather go to a State where- they can
procure license without much
trouble.
This seems to have been the case
with two couples at Cannbnville, as
they boarded the trainSaturday night
for Rock Hill, where they were
married. There, was, strong opposi
tion on the part of the parents of
both couples. But it's all j oyer now.
One of the couples Was Mr,
Charles Kluttz, son of, Mr. 'Alfred
Kluttz, and Miss Daisy Holdbrooks,
daughter of Mr. Elijah Holdbrooks .
The other couple was Mr. Flew
Morris and Miss Kate Brown.
daughter of Mr. J R Brown,
The parents of all of the partieB
involved seem to be quite worried
over the affair

VERDICT L VINDICATION OF ALL DIS-
of Engineer Kinney against the
North Carolina railroad, which has
been on trial for three days, ended
in Lexincton vesterdav evenms.
Kinney was the engineer on No. 11
on the morning of April 11, 1897,
when No. 11 and No, 36 collided
and killed four persons and injured
several others. K'nney was horribly
scalded maimed for life and not ex
pected to live. But he did survive,
and he and Conductor Lovell and
Engineer Tunstall and Conductor
Gentry, on No. 36, were all dis
charged by the railroad. Kinney
brought suit. The lines on j which
the case was brought were that Kin
ney charged that the disaster wai
du8 to negligence m Superintendent
Ryder's office, and the railroad
charged the negligence on the. plain
tiff and his associate employes! I The
jury found that Kinney was not to
blame and fixed the railroad with
negligence and gave Kinney a ver
dict for $20,000. . The verdict is a
vindication of all the discharged
men. The plaintiff's attorneys were
B F Long, O B Watson and ; F O
Bobbins, and the defendant's were
G F Bason, Charles Price arid :Wal-i
ser & Walser.

Deae Sirs: Today I boueht
from Krischbaum's 53 lots of cloth
ing aggregating over 500 suits. Ev
eryone of these was to ."close," and
on a basis of prices that will enable
us to give them to our customers at
less than wholesale prices.
I saved more than a fair profit in
bnying.
We struck the market just at the
right time. The bulk of the trade
is over. The choicest and bsst-ssll.
ing styles are sold down to small
lots, and they are anxious to clean
up, especially as they need the sam
ple racks for fall samples, which are
even now ready.
We get the best styles, and at
so ch big advantages that we can
give our customers clothing at less
than wholesale price.
I also bought on Green street 100
sample suits of tire finest goods.
We can sell them at about three
fourths of the wholesale price.
I got a magnificent lot of Ohil

fit and please every child, boy or

money too '
