Boiishee. of I lie runt! runil service, was in Fort Mill Inst Wednesday, for Hie secmid time within the past three months. The object of Mr. lioudiee's visit to this section was to ; inspect the roads over which the 1 mail of the Ardrey'e star route is |i 3?rried. villi the view of con vert ii* * i the star route iuto a rurul (I livery route. I Mr. l'oushee was nccorapniil . >11 his tour of inspection by Mi \V. Ardrey, to whoui much cr^it j is due for his efforts in tjying j1 lo have the route established. , i The proposed route "will cover [iractically the Mime territory as < I lie star route. The present in-, coining tci(> of the carrier will, ! however, be made the outgoing , trip, and vice versa. One i-light change will be made in the route froiu BarbeiHvillo to Fort .Mill, in that the carrier will cross Sugar i creek over liailes' instead of Barber's bridge. Mr. iioushee spoke very favor- , Eil?ly of the proposed route, but stated that it would be necessary to do considerable work 011 the road between Fort Mill and liurbersville before the route will be established. It is now up to those living nearest the objectionable strip of road to see that it is put in proper condition at once. It is understood that the route will probably be established by the 1st of January, if the necessary work is done by that time. While in this seetion, Mr. Hon shee also inspected the proposed rural delivery route through Waxhaw, which may also be established in the near future. Tho Similar Mishaps. Edward, the six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. .1. M Williford, had j his left hand seriously burned i Friday morning. Several days ] ago the little fellow mashed his I hand while carrying stove wood I into the kitchen at his home. The j injured hand was wrapped in a cloth saturated with turpentine Friday morning, when he earelesnly struck a mutch and ignited the : cloth. His parents being away from home at the time, the little fellow ran screaming to the home a neighoor, who tore what remained i f the burning cloth from bis hand. The hand is so badly burned that it may have to l>e amputated. Another accident, similar lo the foregoing, occurred in tliin township Friday morning. The li.uht htiml of Mr. S ?T. Kimbroll whs accidentally mashed while closing a car door between Charlotte and Fort Mill on Monday of last week, j Mr. Kimbroll also had his hand wrapped in a cloth saturated with turpentine. Friday morning he , was kindling a tiro at his homo. I In some way the cloth around his j hand caught lire and before the I blaze could be put out. his hand was painfully, though not serious- ! ly, burned. Smallpox Near fort Mill. A considerable number of people in Fort Mill were made uneasy one afternoon last week by a report beino eirculated about town that a netrro boy on the plant ition of n..,o s: F wi.:?~ i v > >. u. m ii im huh a young while man in Gold llill were nftlicted with smallpox. The attention of the chairman of the local hoard of health. Capt.. S. 15. White, was directed to the report, and a sp -eial meeting of the hoard was ordered to he held Friday inorninu'. At the meeting a resolution was adopted requesting every person in Fort Al.ll to submit to vaccination at the earliest possible 1110 mi-nt. Few have thus fat complied with the request. In the case of the young white ma 11 in Gold llill, the report proved untrue, hut it is now sta ed positively that, the negro boy on ('apt. W hite's plantation has smallpox. No steps have boon taken to isolate the case. While Man Shot by a Nejjro Thief. Monday evening nt ('? o'clock Mr. .John Whitesides, a farmer living 8 miles cant of Fort Mill, was shot in the stoma h by an nnknown nc^ro thief. Mr. W. 10. Caldwell runs a s'ore near 1 'r.?vi- ! donee chinch. While ho was at supper Monday evening a negro broke into the store.

The negro came out of the store and fired at Mr. Whitesides with a revolver, the ball taking elTect in] the stomach. The negro then fled A posse was quickly organized and started in pursuit, but faile i to catch the negro. Mr. Whitesides: is only slightly injured.

Tire Ixxly of X\>lly Mi Kinney. ;; well-to-do colored wcuian, nhJKA 10 years old and rit H found in a railroad cm ters of a mile from her hot^^^Kr Vail Wyek, in Lmucastei^^HRity, Thursday morning. By side of the body two quarters ir freshly slaughtered l>eef were found. The I bosom of the dead woman's dress was open. The body was found by two Beet ion hands on their way to wotk. The woman had spent the nitfht nt her sifter's house about a mile and u half froui Van WyeK.

Mr. E. I). Til man bail slauj^h tered a beef and it is the theory that the murderers hail stolen the beef and while carrying it otf had met the woman, and knowing of her having money with her, added murder and further jobbery to i their crime, and having killed the woman and secured the eash, , dropped their less valuable booty and escaped. 1) ave ITa<rius and wife, colored, were arrested Monday and charged with the crime. Hoth have confessed, and are in Lancaster jail. ? Open Violation of llic (iamo Law. On the statute books of South Carolina th? re is a law against non-residents coming into the State and killing partridges. lie- j eently several youm* men from I Charlotte, N. C.. have frequently j passed through Fort Mill en route to Pleasant Valley, where, it is stated, they killed a number of partridges and afterwards sold tliein in Charlotte. If we mistake not, t-liis violation of the law must be borne equally by the person who permits non-residents to kill partridges on his land. The Times calls upon every magistrate in this section of the State to see that the law is enforced. Gold Hill Rural Delivery a Certainty. The establishment of the rural delivery mail route through Gold 11111 is now a certainty. Postmaster Massey on Monday morning received the necessary blanks, etc., for beginning the service, and tln? carrier will make his first trip on January 1. A number of interested gentlemen are now engaged in taking orders for mnil boxes to be placed along the route. It is understood that the post-office department will place two boxes? one at W. K. Griffin's store, the other near \Y. II. Windle's home? for the reception of mail matter. Index to New Advertisements. Menchatn A: Kpps offer special bargains to make room for holiday goods.
