News reached Fort Mill last night

afternoon at J.JO o'clock. Capt.

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.
Wash Ilenry, a ne^rb man employed
at the works of the C'liari..4

mm' Diuiv vicii |?'ui} i wo nines
south of town, was seriously hurl
about the bond lust Wednesday
afternoon by falling from the tram
car used in transporting clay from
the pits to the mud mill. 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

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.

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.

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

which heard him for ihe lir.st time
yesterday will ever alter lie anions'
those who press to hear him when
ever the opportunity is "iwii.
The two sermons I )i\ Thoruwell
preaeht d yesti rday would have
done honor to any pulpit in the
world. At the uiornini/service In
spoke from the Mth I' aim David's
prayers for the peace of Jerusalem.
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
