Fort Mill Times, Aug. 25: J. J.
Porter, Sr., of Ebenezer township, who
lives near the county river bridge, a
few days ago lost .*t thoroughbred
greyhound, in an unusual way. The
greyhound was chasing another dog,
which stopped suddenly when the
greyhound was within a few feet of it.
The greyhound, running at full speed,
was unable to slow down in time to
prevent a collision with the other dog
and ran headlong into it. The impact
caused the death of the greyhound 15
minutes later Rock Hill is to be
the home of a new seed store, of which
' E. H. Garrison, until recently demonstration
agent for McCormick county,
and Karl G. Paris will be the proprietors.
The store will carry in stock a
complete assortment of farm and garI
den seed and wiil qpen its doors on
September 1. Mr. Garrison is an experienced
seedsman and lias also been
actively engaged in boll weevil work
and will therefore be able to give the
farmers of this section many valuable

baseball team ban disbanded, after
winning 12 of the 1G pamcs played during
the season. Of the four games the
team lost, one went to Great Falls, one
to Arcade and two to Aragon. The
close of the season? found no money in
the club's treasury, hut the manager
of the team, Wilburn Ferguson, was
able to keep down expenses, thereby
leaving no debts to be paid by contributions
from fans as has been the .case
a number of times in recent years
when the season ended. A compilation
of the batting records of the players
lor the season shows that Wilburn
Ferguson led with 20 hits and
that Douglas Nims came second witii
24 hits. For their good stick work
these two players will each be awarded
a silver cup by Geo. Fish, general manager
of the plants of the Fort Mill
Manufacturing company, who lias taken
much interest in the fortunes of the
team.
CI ester Reporter, Aug. 25: The first
new cotton was bought this morning
by the S. M. Jones Co. from Mr. W. lb

The cotton was graded as strict middling;

The Ford tonrin/j cars of .Mr. Koetner
Harre! 1 and Charlie Oentoii, eolored,
collided on the cornet of Church and
Columbia streets yesterday morning.
Honors were about even, both Fords
being somewhat damaged, though not
severely. Mr. W. W. Bradley, one of
the two passengers in the Denton cur,,

Hankhead, of Lowryville, has refused
[to compel Mr. Bunkhead to comply!

I one-tentlr down at the time the trade j
I was made; This ruling Js in line with'
; a recent decision of the Supreme
j Court, which held that a transaction
i is not binding1 where of a speculative
i character.L A car of colored ba.sej
ball fans f^om Hock'Hill came to grief
, on the Grissy Run bridge just beyoud
. the Eureka Mill Tuesday evening, one
I of the number, Pearl Bailey, being so
severely hurt as to have to be taken
to the Pryor Hospital. The driver
seems to have been driving at a high
rate of speed and struck the side rail
of the bridge. The car left the road,
! but landed right side upward in the
; old road Miss Martha Kirkpatrick
who was struck Tuesday morning by
I an automobile driven by George Davis,
is getting along nicely, an x-ray having
shown that no hones were broken.
! The young lady was standing at the
! back-end of a watermelon wagon in
! front of The S. M. Jones Co.'s store,
| when the car plunged into the rear of
! the wagon, throwing her against the
| wagon and injuring her very painfully.
The young man <was slowing down his
I machine, and probably by accident
pushed the car into low gear while attempting
to put on the brake A
week or two ago The Reporter carried
a paragraph to the effect that the
opening-up of the new steel bridge at
Lock hart and the repairs to the roads
in that section to be made by the county
of Chester shortly would open up a
splendid new territory to .Chester mer-chants,
provided they woul^ go after
the trade and Union merchants did not
have their eyes too much on the same
territory. That Union county does not
propose to let tins business get away
is evidenced from the following from
The Union Times, which is referred
first to Mr. L. M. Wootan and his
board for their consideration, then to
the local merchants, who have the opportunity
to bring new business to
Chester if they can make it more inviting
to the trade in question to come
here than go to Union: "Lastweek
The Times published an article from
The Chester Reporter warning the
Union merchants that Chester was going
after the Union county trade, since
the Lock hart bridge bad been completed
and going made easy. A good
friend of ours traveled the road from
Lockhart to Wllkinsville (WUksburg)
yesterday and said Chester would have

pleasant features connected with tholl
convention that Gastonians will remem-1
ber with pleasure, but there are also !
certain phases of the gathering that,
will make the city wary of entertaining !
a ,similar convention again. There was i
no excuse for the reckless driving and
speeding up and down the si reels of;
Gastonia with cutouts open and horns]
screeching all through the night and <
early morning hours. A certain amount;
of Joviality and fun is always ex'pected
at gatherings of this sort, but there |
was too much here for the comfort, j
peace andMignily of the city. It's all
right to entertain conventions, but|
hereafter let's have it understood that
the city expects a little more strict at- 1

Why <lf
ily, and from Bethel were .Mr. loc
Campbell, .Minn Bettie Campbell and
MV. and Mrs. R. O. Clinton and family, j
The more we sec of Judge Hay's j
work, the more we like it. And in this j
we are heartily supported by the ma- |
jority of the law-abiding citizens of
Gaston county. More than once this
newspaper has deplored the laxness of
our Courts, the ease with Which criminals
and lawbreakers can escape punishment.
There are tbo many Judges:
on the bench today in North Carolina J
who are courting popular fivor. They
don't want to be strict with the law.
And that is one of the strongest reasons
why there is so much lawlessness
in Gaston county today. The evil doers
are not afraid. They turn themselves
over to a lawyer who extracts a
good sized fee from them, in return for
which a lenient judge lets them off
with a small fine or road sentence. |
"Why, Judge Ray sent a man to the
roads two years for su'th and such' ari
offense," we heard a lawyer say the
oilier day. "It is outrageous. Why, if
Judge Blank had been holding court ;
here, the most would have been sixty
days." It is high time that there does
come along a man once in a while, who,;
as another Gastonian expresses it, j
knows how to put the "fear of God" in j
their hearts, ,
Page the Woman Hobo!?Woman
who has striven to emulate man in a!- !
most everything lie had done or iried
to do, has at last invaded his sacred j
right to turn hobo and count the ties,
ty boasts of grand roads and we are
stuck up over the fact, however, our
merchants are alive to the question
| and are advertising persistently so
. that when Chester gets good roads,
i our people will not know any road hut

Wages Long Ago.?In 1731 Peter '
I'urry sought to intluce a number of
Swiss Protestants to emigrate to the
young colony of South Carolina. He
pointed out the acute new! of labor
and the attractive compensation j
therefor. Hp wrote: "Artificers are |
so scarce at present, that all sorts of !
work is very dear; Taylors, Shoe- j
makers, Smiths, etc.. would be parti- J'
ciiktrly acceptable there." He noted,
that' a skilful carpenter "is not
ashamed 1c demand" $7.no per day in
addition 1o his "diet." The common
wages of a workman then amounted to
$5 per flay, if he spoke English. I'urry
observed tha\ when a workman got
lait $2.50 per day "he thinks he labors
for almost nothing, though he lias his
Maintenance besides." These payments
were in Caroliqa money. Shoes
at that time cost $10 per pair, since
they had to he brought afh the way
from England.
Thirly years Inter there was no such
scarcity, of labor. Another writer on
conditions in South Carolina in 1761
gave the wages per day then paid in
South Carolina as follows; tailor, $1.25
shoemaker, 56 cents; blacksmith, >
$1.M; weaver. 75 cents; bricklayer,
|1.50; eooper, $1; carpenters and
joiners, from 75 cents to $1.25; day

So in tlie early period in South Carolina

by the old law of supply and

When Women Turn Raiders.?When
ivomen turn raiders of distilleries and
Undertake a campaign against the
liqUor traffic, then woe betide booteggrr
and brewers. In Harlan coun:y,
Kentucky, women are playing
havoc with distilleries and cleaning
jp the county despite threats, against
their* lives. So active have they been
that they hate practically broken up
noonshining in that section. When
ine woman was notified that her son
would be shot if she did "not cease' her
activities, she replied that she would
rather he would be dead than a drunk-'
ird, and she set out on another raid.
It is not supposed that Greenwood
women arc planning any such war on
bootleggers and distillers, but it is
known that Greenwood women are
bitterly opposed to the bootlegging
md liquor making which are such
problems for even the efficient officers
that Greenwood has. One can only
wonder what would happen if the :u*socinted
wqmen's clubs of Greenwood
would sail into the iK>otleggeys with
the erergy they display in other activities.?Greenwood
