Miss Annie Culp, of Pineville. spout Friday with relatives in this pbtoe. Mr. S. L. Meaelinm spent Monday in Charlotte in the interat of the local 'phone exchange.

Finch has accepted a call from Catawba Baptist church to deliver two sermons monthly. Mr. Finch is visiting his father in Spartanburg ibis week. Mr. M. It. Stubbs and family moved from Fort Mill to Rocking nam. >. lust riiur&dny. Mr. Stubhs had been an employe of tin* Fort Mill Mfyj. Company for several years. Mr. Charlie Watkins, a young man whoso homo is in (ho northern part of town, is critically ill. He has been in poor health for several months, on account of which he returned to Fort Mill from Charlotte some time ago. News reached Fort Mill last night of the sudden death from apoplexy of Capt. John R. Erwin at his office in Charlotte yesterday afternoon at J.JO o'clock. Capt. Krwill'd iiis^f 11-ifii Mi.-:-; .lanilio (irier, was u sister of our townsman Mr. It. F. (trior. At the auction sale of the Queen City Telephone Company in Charlotte Monday morning, a half interest. in the line from Charlotte to Fort Mill was bought for ?220 by the Curtis syndicate of Newark, N. J. Mr. B. I>. Springs owns the other half interest in the line. Mr. Herod It. Neal, who was well known by a ureat. many people in this township, died suddenly at his home in Yorkville Saturday ni^jlit. He was a one-le^nod Confederate veteran,and had been employed for years as auctioneer at the court-house on salesdny.

Another nopro man had his ri?.;ld hand painfully mnshed by the car Saturday morning. Some time n^o Mr. T. It. Spralt decided to open a dairy in Fort Mill, and accordingly lie bought a number of the finest cows lie could find for sale in this section. Thus far he has experienced no t rouble in disposing of all bis milk and butter on the local market, but he expects to betfin sliij piiijj the principal part. of his butter to Columbia in a few days, the price in that eity beino cents per pound more than in this place. From outside sources it is learned that there iH little doubt that the present year will witness the erection of the third cotton mill in Fort Mill. It is said that the plans for the mill, which will be niiliroli' ?? on!in?!io? V?? T v/vv \* \ i I i t \ y 1 W PJI1IIII I ll?l \ r been drawn and that the .site lias been selected. The Times is unable to learn when work on tinbuildings will be begun. The motive power for the new mill will be supplied by the Catawba Power Company, it is stated. The Times is informed that a Special meeting of the town council will be held during the present week at which it '.a proposed to pnss a vagrancy law. That this informntion will prove gratifying to every respectable citizen of t!ie town, goes without saying. Port Mill has needed such a law for years, but never so much as daring the past three months, in which there have been scores of worthless and unknown (diameters loafing on the streets, both day and night. It is a matter of frequent comment that these vagrants should be required t?> give a satisfactory account of themselves or put to work on the streets. If the town council enacts a vagrancy law and then sees that, it is rigidly enforci d the white tramp and shiftless negro will give Fat Mill a wide bert h Items of State News. Mr. John 11. Ashe, president of the York cotton mill, committed suicide Monday ni^ht I?y jumping into a well on his premises in Yorkville. It is thought that worry over linnticial troubles caused .Mr. Ashe to take his own life, lie was regarded as one of the foremost fit i/.ens of the county and his death will prove a threat lo-s. especially to the community in which Inlived. Speaking of the semi-weekly pa per which is soon to lie established in ltock Ilill l>y a number of Imsine-s men of that city. The Herald says: "The Journal Publishing Company, as far us we know, is a recent thought on the part of the gentlemen who propose its publication. We are not iuforined of tlu* date of the appearance of the lirst number. We shall meet The lourul as a business compel iter and strive in a lejjit imute way to maintain our husint ss, having only eo*?d wishes for ever}* legitimate enterprise that may come into the community to assist in lnu d.ni* up its inter* sts." Morris Swizter, a Polish Jew. is in jail in (ireonville, ? liar^eil with at tempt intf to burn his store in that city early Sunday moraine. The attention of two polieemen was directed t<i the fact that the front window shades iu Swi/.ter's store were closely drawn, a circumstance which was considered suspicious, and an investigation was made at once. t pon entering the store a dim light was seen coming from a candle. The candle was stuck in a lu>x and was encircled by a pasteboard crown, such as come with hats, and matches were strewn around the caudle inside the circle of the crown, while the box otherwise was fail of paper. The b.?x was set underneath some shelving back against the wall, ami on the shelves was a large quantity of clothing. (iold Hill Items. Kditor Times: Things are moving along nicely around here. The farmers are well up with their, work; the soil has been well prepared.and the guano horn is heard abroad in tho land. Brother Kpps didn't toll it all in his recent newspaper interview.

These two gentlemen adhere strictly to the Scriptural injunction which says multiply and replenish t he cart li. A certain young lady near here recently received seven letters in one mail, and it wasn't a good day for letters, either. Don't (odd 11 ill heat the word on big things? Sin.in tiii:.

In a style exeecdin^l> pleasing and without a superlluoiis word, lie pre udied a sermon, tln? outline of which was clear to a' child s mind, and at its conclusion the power of stateim nt alone had convinced every hearer of the obli pillion lie ,vas under to (Jod, ami the lamelitH that had accrued to him through 14 At niuht the It xt w:;-> taken from ! the 12th verse r>f tlit* first chnptcr of Second Timot hy?*'Paul's (i rent Words ??f Assurance."
