Boyce will tie in Fort Mill on next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for the pur p. ise of taking tax returns. Five liP'Toi's?t li i'Ci> men ntul I \v*i i wonuMi?were arrested in this place Sunday afternoon upon the charge of gambling, but were released for want of evidence to convict. Mr. Mack Curtis and sister, Miss Iiattie,left Fort Mill Monday evening for a visit of two weeks to their parents, Rev. F. <). S. and Mrs. Curtis, in Laurinburg, N. C. The Times was pleased to receive ? call from Mr. .J. H. Coltharp yesterday afternoon. Mr. Coltharp has suffered a great deal recently from a carbuncle on the back of his neck. Mr. ?l. .7. Ormand, who moved from this township to CJastonia, N. C., about two years ago and who has since been in the meat business ill that town, is arranging to return to this community and will live on his plantation two miles south of Fort Mill. A meeting of the Fort Mill Light Infantry will be held in the town hull Friday owning to docido whether the company >111<*t:? 1 the Presidential inauguration in Washington Chty on March 1. The otlicers of the company are anxious that every member attend this meeting. The entertainment given in the town hull in this place last Friday evening by students of Gold Hill Academy was witnessed by a large audience, notwithstanding the inclement weather. The most interesting feature of the entertainment was the broom drill given by a number of young lady students. The Fort Mill friends of Hon. J. 11. Ilaile will be pleased to learn that he has been assigned to two of the most important House committees? "Agriculture" and "('oinmerce and Manufactures.1' It is also pleasing to nolo that Mr. Ilaile voted to extend the time for ^ the payment of taxes. The other membors of the York delegation voted against the extension. Saturday evening .Mr. John J. Rose, grand master of the South Carolina Odd Fellows, mine up from Charleston and organized Fort Mill Lodge, I. (). O. F., No. 00, the charter members of which are Messrs. Robt. iiutler, C. H.

An undertaking which is worthy of commendation is the night school which was recently opened at tho upper mill in this place by Mr. J. \V. Hough for the benefit of the children who are employed in the mill during the day and can not attend the public school. Mr. Hough does not charge his pupils any tuition and devotes two hours every school evening to teaching them, lie has about, twenty scholars at present. i fin i ? - t . x ne municipal election held in Fort Mill M onday for an intendnut and for wardens to seive during the year passed oil* quietly, though not without interest. The opposing candidates for intendant were Messrs. d. \V. McFlham y and T. (t. Culp and the gentleim n who were voted for foi wardens were Dr. T. S. Kiikpatriek and .Messrs J. M. Sprntt, A. A. Young, Ira (J. Sniythe, W. I?. Menohain and J. \Y. Ardrey. The count of the ballots disclosed the election of Mr. MeKlhaney. he having received 2?S votes to IS for Mr. Culp, and Dr. Kirkpatrick and Messrs. Spratt, Young and Syinthe. The new council was sworn in yesterday afternoon and immediately held a meeting, at which Mr. Smythe was elected town treasurer. Tho election, by the council, of a chief of police was awaited with consider ible interest and general substa tion was expressed when it l>Qcanio known that Mr, II. C. Culp w s the lucky man. jy&. :/j i J * I L>lipentur> Talk in Fort .Mill. The unusually largo amount of whisky which is being shipped to Fort Mill and the weekly visits to the town of soliciting agents of North Carolina liquor houses, as well as the knowledge that, a considerable part of the whisky shipped here is sold by blind tigers, has caused a number of citizens of She place to express the belief that it would be as well for Fort Mill to have a dispensary. These citizens il..o ~ 1 * r s.'.iivmu nun 11 itn^e illllUlllll ?I motley is annually scut to North ' Corolina mul other States fur whisky and that not one cent of revenue is derived thereforni by the town. The dispensary, it is also contended, would draw a gn at deal of trade to Fort .Mill which now goes elsewhere, that there would bo very little more whisky sold and that, the treasury of the town would he greatly benefited, which would mean better streets and a public school of more value. These are the chief arguments of those who believe a dispensary ought to he established in Fort Mill. Hut of cuu:.so there is another horn to the dilemma. Then1 is little doubt that at least double the amount of whisky would b sold from a dispensary that is shipped to Fort .Mill and the ditlieulty of <>!>t.aiuing it, slight as ii is, would be cni.reiy removed. -4 ?? Death of .Wry. I;mina Alassey. As Tito Times m?rs to press v.v learn of the liruth of Mrs. Fuiina Mnssey, wife of our townsman Mr. S. F. Maysey, which neeuivd at tlu> homo of hor fcister, Mrs. Sallie I)>wns, this morning fit o'clock. Mrs. Massey had boon in poor < health for more than a year and her death was not unexpected.

Mrs Massey is survived by her husband and two little daughters, both of whom are less than 10 years old. Sinwas about do years of age. ller remains will be interred in the Fort Mill cemetery tomorrow mornItems of Slate News. Mr. Wharton has taken his place as a member of the State boaid of railroad commissioners, and the hoard lias reorganized. Mr. Milborn beiiiLT the senior member, has sue.oedeed Mr. Kvans as ehairinan of the body. It is authoritatively announced that Congressman \V. .1. Talhcrt will not stand tor le-oloction, lint will make the race for governor next year. Tins report comes direct from Col. Talbert anil there seems to lie no doubt thaMHBM|^ avowed intention. The House of Representatives yesterday rntitied the nomination of the Democratic primary and the general election and voted for 1>. K. Tillman, of Kdoefield, to suceeed himself in the I'nited Slates Senate. There were I'Jo voles east, of which number Tillman received I Jo. The State says that the proposition to abolish the convict lease system and work the convicts exclusively on the public roads has a threat many supporters in both houses of th?' Le^islat lire, and several bills have already been introduced on the. subject, but it is im possible to say yet whether the measure will become a law at this sessii >n. The time f<?r tin* payment ?>f taxes lias lieell extended to February 1. This action was taken 1>\ the j^ovei nor, comptroller j^om f?*I and 11easurer last Friday. Though tlnse gentlemen have heretofore expiessed themselves as seeing no i good reason why the time should be extended, the agitation of the question in the House doubtless roused them to see that there might he some good reason in the plea for extent ion. Tiio wife of Mr. Melvin Hair, a well known planter living within one and cue.half miles of lalko, in liarnwell county, was as-inn I ted , wiih criminal intent by ('links Lang, <i ln^rt', Monday morning. Alter accomplishing his purpose, the negro attempted robbery ami tied, but was caught late Monday afternoon about three miles from lllaekvillo and taken back to the I scene of his crime. I'pou being confronted by his victim, Lang confessed to having committed the deed. The party of men which had him in charge immediately , carried him a short way from the house and, after swinging him up to a tree, riddled his body with bullets. ? The child Lnbor Bill.
