SECOND ANNUAL INSPECTIONThe
Tort Xili Light Infantry Paesc: a Very
Creditable Ss-mination Before AdjutantGeneral
J. 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

The facts us we ler.rn them were

a negro riding u bicycle

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.

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.
A business meeting of the veterms
was held and it was decided to
