W. Floyd. J The Fort Mill Light Infantry ' was delighted and pleased on lust Saturday at being inspected in | person by (Jen. -1. V. Floyd, ad- \ jutant and inspector general <>f the ' | State. This company was organized 1 about one year ago with W. K. Bradford, captain; T. 1?. Spratt, ' 1st lieutenant, and S. W. Parka, ! 2nd lieutenant.. Since that time Oipt. Bradford decided to accept a lucrative position at? a newspaper I man in Lexingtou, Ky., and re-j signed, much to the regret of him- , self and his coni|>any. Lieuten- i Spratt was tlireupon elected U>1 the captaincy. Promptly at i o'clock the coinp my was assembled in the armory, rJ . B. Spratt, captain commanding; formed and marched to the drill ground, where the inspector general was ready for thoroughly inspecting this, the best military company in the State outside of the large cities. Every member,j from the captain down, was ready1 for business, which fact was made manifest by their clean appearance, in dress, accroutemeuts as well as by their erect bearing. It is needless to say that it did not take the well trained eye of 1 lit* | distinguished visitor long to pass upon and pronounce the inspection highly gratifying in every do- j tail. After insnec tiot>. flip <r..t...r?i ^ i was escorted hack to town by dis- j titiguod citizens and the company, where a conunittee of citizens waited upon the general, and, escorting him to a stand where quite a large gathering was assembled, called upon him for an address. Although unexpected, the general made an unusually in- i tellectual and highly entertaining speech, of twnety minutes or more, proving beyond doubt, as his j friends claim, that his oratory and eloquence is a matter of state knowledge. Without disposition to tatVy the general, we hesitate i not to say that his military appearance enthused and highly gratified i the company. He went through j with military precision and digni-1 ty the whole occasion, and showed throughout the true bearing of gallant old soldier that he is. l>y the way it j* hinted and is not denied by his most intimate friends, that he will aspire to rep- , resent this, the fifth, district in congress next term Without ?v. tended comment or committal it is very clear t.r? tin* casual observer that if General Floyd should < >n- ' sent to enter the field, he will be a consideration, and all comers may as well note that fact. ?The Roller Mill a Cenainty. After all the roller mill question is not dead, but has taken on new life. T1 le Times has been assured that before another twelve-month we will have a new and up-to*date tlour mill right here in our midst. 1 Mr. W. F. Harris, one of our most j progressiveand substantial citizens who always has an eye open to the town's prosperity, will build it. Immediately upon hearing the above rumor a Times reporter called 1 on Mr. Harris and had an interview with him. He said that he was really in earnest and that work on the mill will be commenced as soon as a suitable site can be se- | cured and other arrangements made. The mill will not be a J , large one, but of ample capacity', to grind all the wheat that can bo ( raised in the township and enough ( to furnish the merchants of the town, and will bo located near ( the railroad in order to weaure | convenient shipping facilities. Now, with the assurance t tint . 1 they can linvo tlieir wheat ground ; at homo, our farmers .should show an appreciative spirit I>y putting { in more wheat. Every acre of surplus ground should he sowed down, tho grain ground at home, and thus assure success to Mr. < Harris and his new enterprise. 1 ? ? I Dr. Alex. Mack, wife and chil-\ * dren, left last night for Hawkinsville, (la., after spending several ] weeks with relatives here. ; Thought to Have Been Jim Lcrrrr. Messrs. .1. P. t'rowxler and .Ju?. Brown had un exciting chase Monday afternoon nffer a negro who was tli ought to have boon lini Lorxvy. the blr.yor of Polio' Jomcp, of Shelby, N. C. The facts us we ler.rn them were that at about ^ o'clock .Monday aftcrtiooti a negro riding u bicycle nnooo/1 *l?-x .. 1 mv luiiyici cnmpai tlie old Springs place. coming toward Fort i Mill. There is a convict at the I camp. Jim Garrison, who says lie knows Lowry, and it. was he who told Guard Brown that the man on i the wheel was the much wanted Lowry. Mr. Brown immediately ' notified Mr. Crowder and the two, saddling their horses, gave purBait, keeping at n distance so as to conceal themselves. Their intention was to get the man as near' t vn as possible before attacking Jiim This plan was not to work, however, for when Flagler's branch j was reached the noise of the i horses1 hoofs on the bridge caused the negro, who was then ascending the big hill this side, to stop and look back. Mr. Brown gave the I command of "hands up,11 but Lowry evidently thought his best way out was heels up and he made a dash for a nearby thicket. Mr. Brown tired on the negro three | times, but it U thought without i effect, although when the second shot was filial he fell as if killed or mortally wounded. This. however, , proved to be a sham, as ho was seen several moments later ami was making tracks as fast as possible. Finally, ou reaching the big woods back of the old Williamson place, he ;vas lost sight of, and Messrs. Crowder and Brown re- ; turned to Hauler's hil, took uj> the bicycle and came on to town. As j soon as it was learned hero that the negro was thought to have1 been Lowry, the search was renewed by Chief of Police Culp, accompanied by Messrs. Crowder. Brown and others. The party searched the woods until near night, but nothing more was seen of the man wanted. It is now doubted whether the negro was really Lowry, since a gentleman came down'from Char-j lotte later and claimed the bicycle, saying that it had been stolen . from him Monday morning. ... Vetcraac' Fieri: ar.d F.ourior " _ The first annual picnic gat In ring of the York county veterans j was held under very auspicious! circumstances at the site of the Catawba Power Company's plant ; on the river last Wednesday and, summing up the feelings of the; many who ait* nded from this place, it was one whole beautiful day of sunshine and happiness. It j appeared to be one vast family j gathering of those who had met , nfter a long separation and audi it was iti fact, for wore there not numbers of eases where comrades mot who had not aeon each other since the war, and the joy that lighted up their aged countenances and the affectionate enthusiasm with which they grasped each others hands would make glad the heart of the most depressed spirit. The erowd in attendance at the meeting lias been variously estimated from 000 to 1,000, and all sections of the county were represented. Some of the features of the day were impromptu addresses by Major Jas. F. Hart and ('apt. Iredell Jones. An affecting prayer was offered by Dr. J, II. Th ?rnwell. An ahundant dinner was served by the ladies in true picnic style.
