Third "Quarterly Confcfence for Rockingham station ill e held next Sunday and . Monday .S, The sacrament willbe administered at the morning service on Sunday. Mr. Frank Terry, of Darlington, S. C , visited relatives in Rocking ham the first of the week. He made the trip from Darlington here, fifty seven miles, in one" day on a bi. cycle. ' Jackson Springs church was beautifully decorated for the mar riage of Miss Ida Cole to Mr. A. C. Ray last Wednesday evening and thee many present to witness the happy event.

W. Bennett, of Mdnroe, will preach in the Baptist church at Roberdel next Sunday morning and in Rockingham Sunday night Mr. A. M.' McAuley's family have moved into their, beautiful new residence, recently built on Watson avenue, South Rocking ham. 4 Work has been commenced on Mr. John Arraistead's new dwell ing house on Washington street, which is to be an eight-room struc ture. Mr. H. C. Watson. We pre pleased to note the great sutcess with which Mr. Watson has! met since he left Rockingham abAut fifteen years ago. He has an extensive turpentine business which has proven very profitable yle also has a moaei stocR farm ana num ber of very fine thoroug horses. While here he receive offer by wire, which h accepte of $3,500 for one of his horses. What came very near being a se rious accident, but which fortu nately turned Out -rith.out very serious results, occurred at the de pot bridge last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Gardner, the clever, typo of the Anglo-Saxon, and Miss Maude Davis were out driving and were going at a pretty good speed when thev reached the bridge at the foot of the hi, when the hub struck the centre partition of the bridge. which brought the btggy to such a sudden stop that Miss Davis was thrown out on the bridge and Mr. Gardner, with due gallantry, fol lowed. The horse then backed and stepped on Miss Davis before she could get out of the way. We are not indulging in any philosophy to arrive at an explanation of the ac cident. Enough to know that the ycung lady is not seriously injured, and that Mr. Gardner's injuries are entirely mental. We may add that we have hard a number of sugges tions that the partition in the bridge ought to be removed, as it serves no good' purpose and that it has caused accidents before. : Was the Vote for Water Works for "V -Rockingham. The beautiful hills surrounding ; the progressive own of Rocking ham will be the'sentinels of a fu ture city, and Rockinghatn will be its name. It is' beautiful for situation and has natural advantages unsurpass ed, and the progressive spirit of the men who have won suprema- cy in the great cotton man ufacturing industry, who have made 4 "Rockingham A's" and "Pee Dee Plaids" household wqrds all over North Carolina and many other parts of the South, together with the substautial, industrious and. enterprising citizenship which their industry has drawn around them, will never be contentjwith present accomplishments. - The practically unanimous vote by which the Board of Aldermen were instructed to issue bonds to to put in a good" waterworks sys tern is significant. 175 to 8. It sljows that our citizenship is prac tically unanimous in its desire for the improvement and advance ment of the public interest. With Jhis splendid endorsement of their efforts the town authorities will push the matter of selling bonds and putting in the water works system as rapidly as possible. They have the assurance of the State chemist that the supply of water to be used is pure and of ery good quality. We Are sJry to ncte the death of the infantchild of Mr. -William Northern The family have! the sympttlh of the Pee'Dee people in their beaveni'jnt. i . , ROBERPELi ITEMS. Maggie former Resident of Rockiugnam Killed by a Train. Rev. W. R. Coppedge will not fill his appointment at Pee Dee Chapel Sunday night on account of protracted meeting in Rocking ham. Rev. A. M. Ilassel begins a se ries of servies fn the Presbyterian church Wedaesdav ni2ht. He is a fine preacher, and every body should hear him. The Masonic Lodge elected the following officers Tuesday night: W. J. Fuliord, W. M; W. S.' Fowlkes, S. W; Geo. S. Steele, J. W; W. F. Steele. Treasuier; John A., Baker, Secietary. Mrs. Emma Norman Jones, now of Bensoj, Johnston county, pass ed through Rockingham Tuesday evening en route for Steele's Mill on a visit to her parents. She is just from Blacksboro Va.t and was accompanied by her father Mr. Norman, who went ai far a Peters burg to meet her. A week or so ago the Charlotte papers contained an account of a young man being found dead on the railroad track about six miles from Charlotte. He had, letters in his pocket addressed to "J. D. Scarboro, Spartanburg, S. C." The father of the young man got hold of a paper containing the ac count and believing it to be his son who had left home a short while befo'e, he went to Charlotte last Friday o investigate, and found Without doubt that it was his son who nad been killed. The family recently lived in Rockingham and were employed in one of the cotton mills. The young man was about 17 years of age. His father thinks that as he had a watch and $10, which were miss ing, he may have been murdered and placed on the track. First Cotton Blossom. The first cotton blossom of the season was brought in last Friday afternoon. It came from Maj. H .IPs Wolf Pit farm. This is I TiT'intl hi hw 11 In ml ot ic the State this year. Later. Mr. Geo. Thomas, of Malee, was in Rockingham Mon day and gave us a call. It is the first time he has been ,in Rocking ham in about three years, fie said he mailed us a cotton blossom last Thursday, but for some reason it failed to get here till Tuesday night. Stii.i. Another. By Monday I eveniner's mail we received a blos som from Mr. Daniel Locklear, of Hoffman, which he writes was taken from fjis field on last Satur day. And Yet Another Mi. E. F.

We send papers" this week to a good many people who are not subscribers, and trust they will give u a caretui perusal, it goes to them as an invitation for them to tubscribe. The Anglo Saxon company is endeavoring to publish a paper that will appeal to the support of every reading man in Richmond county. It is giving a larger quantity of specially pre pared reading matter than any other paper in . the county has ever done. No matter how mnny other papers you may take, we want you to take the Anglo-Saxon. If only one paper is taken we want ihat to be the Anglo-Saxon, and therefore we attempt to cover the general news paper field. In addition to the large amount of space given to the chronicling of local events, which is our first work, we endeavor to .give such a comprehensive review of passing events on the outside- world as will at least keep the read er posted on the most important , happenings of the day whether he gets the daily papers or not. We aho uttempt to give such discus- ions of political questions, from other pens as well as our owri as will give up-to-dale information as to the progress of? - the.'' political world. Add to this a little fiction and a little folly now and then and our case is made , up. k One'doUar -will bang it to you slimes, Death of Oldest Man la Richmond County. We failed to hear in time for our last issue of the death of Mr. J::s. Waison, better known perhaps as TTr1 T m m ia ' ' Wo f o-ki tirrtn died at his home near Hoffman about ten days ago of dysentery. The deceased was probably the oldest man in Richmond, county and would have been 94. in No vember next. He was a man of many strong traits of character and of strictest integrity. A Type of McKinley .Prosperity in the South. The contractor for carrying the United States mail from Rocking ham to Bostick's Mill is boarding in Rockingham at i Brp. Wright's hotel free of ch irge, but at the ex pense of the people. I do wish the authorities at Washington could seethe old rig and the mule em ployed in carrying the mail, the old mule haying the appearance of being fedon whiskey barrels and curried with an iron tooth rake. The salaries of contractors and car riers are so low that none of the Anglo Saxon race will take the job. Consequently a negro takes the job for his board and. tobacco twice a day, and short at that. The old mule is an expert kicker. He can kick a hat i ofi your head and not touch a hair. The patrons of the different postoffices'along the above named line get their mail whenever Bill Pickett and his.'co- In Ii.rr fif tn firmer if whfthpr U be ix a. m. or 3 p. m., and 'part ( of the time not at all. It makes no difference how important the mail is. Bill PickeU is boss of this job. H Hope. - Mises Flay Shaws and Pitman left Saturday to spend Sunday in Anson : county. ' We see that the boys of the Mountain- Island cotton Will in their game of baseball with the St. Mary's College boj's just complete ly shut them out, as the Charlotte boys did not get even one-run. That, we think, is very good for ! the mill boys. The superintendent told- the boys when they asked him to stop the mill that if they would shut out the St. Mary's boys he would stop, and they promised they would if possible. So the mill i - . J J At- "I scoppea ana mey scorea 5 to o, ffnd the superintendent, Mr. Jor. dan, wassaid to be the happies mm in Charlotte on that day and that he almost' idolized the boys. We think this commendable in Mr. Jordan, as it shows that while he is superintendent he appreciates his help and is appreciated by his help. Gardens are looking fine around Pee Dee aridj we are being blessed with good seasons. Severaof our boys, and girls went out to Ellerbe Springs Sun day nd, we piesume, had a good tinre, as it was a beautiful day. ust pleasant. Harness and bug gies were in demand and several had to be denied as they were about all out for the day. It is often said that North Caro lina has more mills and consumes more cotton man tsoutn Carolina. We heard an argument on this re cently. Here are the latest statis- ics for the four highest Southern States: South Carolina has ninety- our mills, 1,308,000 spindles and consumes 378,000 bales of cStton per year. North Carolina 1S6 mills, i,oiS,ooo spindles and con sumes 332,000 bales of cottdn' per year, oeorgta, 01 mills, 705,000 spindles and consumes 259,000 bales of cotton yer year. Alabama has 40 mills, 381,000 sp-ndles and consumes 101,000 balet? of cotton. So it will be seen that North Caro lina h is the most mills, but South Carolina has- ;tne largest mills which gives them most spindles and,, they consume more cotton. About two weeks ago Democra cy visited the county home and found everything in good condi tion and the inmates Well cared for and apparently-well satisfied, and they all, without any exceptioivL spoke in the highest terms of their superintendent. I must S;iy that I saw great difference in the condi tion of things now and in times past, and it mr.de me feel proud for Mr. McDonald, ihe superin tendent, was at one lime a Pee Dee boy and deserves the honor conferred upon him. We are proud that the party in power fills offices with men who are capable of doing their duty, and that kind only receive offices at the hands of the Democratic party, and if there is any c!as of people who need to have able, sympathet ic men to caie for them more than others it is certainly these poor, un fortunate people who have 10 be Cared for at the county hoipe.

Our people were sorely disappointed-over their mail last week. For -several days we got none. Con tracts should be let to parties that can carry it and they ought to be paid enough to furnish something to carry it with. It does no good to grumble because the headquar ters are away yonder in Washing-, ton and Bill Pickett is here in jail and the old mule is in the last stage of starvation. Confound the whole fix.
