Fort Mill Times, Nov. 20: A marriage which came as a surprise to the friends of the groom in this city, was that on Tuesday, November 11, of Haile C. Ferguson of Fort Mill and Miss Lena Mae Timmons, of Clinton. The marriage took place at the Methodist parsonage in Clinton, the Rev. Mr. ^tokes performing the ceremony.

James B. Black, of the Presbyterian church. An escort of honor * from Catawba Lodge No. .46, Ancient Free Masons of South. Carolina, and White Oak Camp, Woodmen of the World, accompanied the remains to the cemetery _...A neat cottage is being erected on the Springs "quarter" just north of the incorporate limits, of the town. When completed the house will be occupied by J. M. Gamble and family; Mr. Camble having assumed the management of the Springs farms in this township Mr. Charles McUwain and family, of Providence, Mecklenburg county, will, it is reported, move to Fort Mill within a short time and occupy the Gamble home on East j Hall street. Rock Hill Herald, Nov. 21: An intended pleasure trip to Charlotte yesterday by Mrs. David Hutchison, Miss Katie Hutchison and William Hutchi- | son, came very near ending disastrously. As they neared Fort Mill the car i skidded, though it did not turn over en- j tirely, and threw Mrs. Hutchison out. She received a number of bruises, but no bones were broken. She is not confined to her room today, but feels pretty sore. A passing traveller brought the two ladies home, and later, William camo on in the car John L. Davis and family have moved from the, Methodist parsonage to the home of j Mr. and Mrs. Roddey Reid, on Acade- j my street, where they have taken i apartments until their resioence, on Rast Main street is finished Local " officials have as yet been unable to locate A. M. Giles, who yesterday after- j noon shot down in cold blood his wife, as the latter was leaving her boarding place to return to work. The surrounding territory was scoured during the afternoon and early evening, but not a trace of the man could be found. He was last seen in the vicinity o.f the cemetery, it being reported that he stopped and reloaded his revolver. Mrs. Giles was taken to the Fennell Infirmary late yesterday afternoon, and was still alive today, but physicians think there is only a bare possibility of her recovery. It has been determined that but one of the four shots fired was effective, the ball entering the head in the left temple and emerging below the right ear, having penetrated the brain. Giles, it is said, is about GO j years of age. He has been twice married and has a son in Asheville. He 1 also lias a brother in Durham. N. C., it is understood. He had been in Rock ! Hill some time. In his studio was | found a letter, which had not been | mailed, in which he informed Mrs. I Giles that he intended to get even and.! that she had better watch out. Officers have thrown out the network of I the law, all surrounding places having j been notified of the crime and given a ' description of the assassin. It was stated by one of the eye-witnesses that after his wife fell to the ground Giles put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, but the weapon was empty. This would indicate a purpose of suicide, and it is barely possible that he loaded his gun and killed himself as soon as lie secreted himself in the woods. It is believed, however, that if he contemplated killing himself he would have done so immediately after reloading the weapon.

Lynn has accepted a position as teacher at the Foote street school There are persons who raise their hands in holy horror at the idea or suggestion of printing anything about the boll weevil's presence in Chester county?who seem to be able ostrichlike to feel a perfect contentment and 10 innr- an there is no nrocla 'mation of the presence of the pest, no matter in what numbers the weevil might be about or how serious the situation might appear to be. That is not our way of looking at the proposition. The weevil may do a great deal of damage in Chester county or may not?that remains to be seen; but the safest plan it to,assume that the consequences in this county will be Just as serious as farther south; and if such does not prove to be the case the precautions taken will not have been in vain, but will yield a handsome profit. Educate the people as to what may happen from the presence of the weevil in' the cotton fields of Chester county. That's the only fair and right thing to. do Dr. R. II.
