Smith and children went down to Rock Hill yesterday to visit relatives. . - Mies Irene Withers, of .Sevan.. .. nah, Ga.r spent several days of the past week with relatives ami friends in Fort Mill. Mr. J- E. Ardrey came up from the S. C. College at Columbia and fluent frnm Pridnu tin til Tnucrlu.f -i ; ?? ?v?juuj ' at his homo in this place. It is said that the railroads have agreed to farther reduce the rates to Charleston. This will give Charleston the lowest rates ever given any exposition. Mrs, Kdward Reeves, of Statesi ville, N. C., arrived Monday night ? and will spend several weeks at the the home of her parents, Or. and Mrs. T. 13. Meacham, in this place. The recent report that Mr. Wm. Crook, of Gold Hill, was ill of smallpox was erroneous, as he was seen on the streets last Saturday and bore no signs of such disease. That Fort Mill is giving the Southern Railway considerable piitroange tliese days is proven by the fact that a shifting engine very oft as speuds several houi s here in shifting and placing cars to the different platforms. Mr. T, G. Gulp was elected n -? warden '-of the town Moiultiy to eaooeed Mr* Ira G. Snivthe, who recently moved from tort Mill. r ? Very little interest was manifested v v in ilia election Had a ridiculously r arnall vote won cast, t 1 Mr, Bobt. D. White, of this l ^K'r* place, who iu January completed .1 .. a three year's term of service in the standing army a I Fort liiley, ,ii. ,,Kau-, has re-eulisted in the hos-v. i fpital corps and left Charlotte Monday night for Washington, D. C. Mr. T. W. Macon now lias the pbtiition of night operator for the Southern Railway at this place, . succeeding Mr. ftowe, whfi^fcns accepted a similar position lanta. Mr. Macon is a brot^H of ?** Mr. R. V. Macon. fornmrHivni ; here. A merchant may wait foJjHiple 'rZt'.t- to find out that he has gooTunngs to sell and will sell them clieap, but in the meantime he in apt to tind that the people have been to somebcaly eiae while lie whs waiting. The uior&l is that advertising draws trade. t The young men of the town met in the town hall Wednesday night and organized the Fort I Mi I German Club. Sixteen meuhbrrs were enrolled and a nutnberj of othera who were not present fiav* since been added to the list. Mr. ?T. A. Withers was elected secretary und treasurer. The Times on Monday received a very interesting communication from someone in Gold Mill, but on account of the writer fjfailing to sign his nsme we har? torflecline to publish it. Howeveu will be glad to receive anotinr Mtter from odr unknown friend ^ml/the only requirement is thntflft- writer's name accompany it. Mr. 8. 8. OrdwajflHe contractor wlio is buildiiif^^Wportion of the dam acr<?s Catawba river, left Sunday night for Jamestown, N. C, where lie or his company is said to be defendant in two dam- ; age suits, one of which is brought about by the widow of a former employe who was killed; the other by a man crippled while in the employ of said company. Mr. ! t )rdway was accompanied by one or two of Ins men. Members of the loesl tnwnoliin l>oard of health were sworn into , office on March 4, only three mem* j , ' hers being present. After eleciing J. L. Kimbrell secretary, the board i earnestly requested the co-op?ra-1 tion of each individual in advancing vaccination, and further re- j quests that all farmers who have tenants on their respective farms to warn them of the danger of smallpox, and urge them to he ; vaccinated as early as convenient, if possible vithiu the next two weeks. i 4 % M is.s Katie Culp spent Thursday in Charlotte. Cotton (ins taken a spurt and will briug 9 cents, or most. Garden work has been delayed considerably by the bad weather. Messrs. I). G. Kitiihrell and T. | H. Merritt spent Monday iu Char| lotto. Ui^D ...J T ... j mocso ro aim lji u Jtcr HQden, of Rock Hdl, visited relatives in Fort Mill lasc week. Mr. A. A. Bradford, Sr., lias the contract $or building the extension to the postoffice building. The flmallboy is now on the lookout tor the dogwood blossom, which nhvins it is fishing tiuie. An election to decide whether the tow i of Yorkville is to have n dispensary has been ordered to be held next Friday. The condition of Miss Ben tali Cnowder, who has been ill of appendicitis for ten days, is reported somewhat improved. The local ball team is making an effort to secure a practice ground in the big field to the rear of McElhaney's livery stables. There are no new cases ofsmall| pox to report this week. All those who are afflicted with the disease are now on the road to recovery. Fanners are now busily engaged in hauling fertilizers to their farms so as to have it ready for distribution when the spring plowing begins. And now another good crop prophet conies to the front. He claims that every year having the figure 2 in it since 1850 has been i a good crop year, and that lOO'i Will l? no exception. Mr. J. T. J. Harris, a former' resident, has sold bis plantation in Pleasant Valley to Mr. J. P. Bniles and be is contemplating returning to the city to live. It is possible that be will build here in the near future. S. S. Ordway A Co. on Friday received five care of cement to he uiod in their work at the Catawhn dam. The condition of the roads from here to the dam are such as to require four horses to draw an average wagon load. The ll-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Jones died of congestive chill on Tuesday of last week at the home of its parents, 2 miles west of town. The burial was made Wednesday afternoon at the cemetery in this place. Under the new jury law the work of preparing the list of jurors for the year is taken from county commissioners and devolved npoU|i the jury commissioners, consisting , of the clerk of court, the county , auditor and the county treasurer. Rev. Til R H io.kn til** I prophet, predicts continued wintry weather for March. Between the Rev. Hicks and the groundhog we have been having aome unusually bad weather, and they are not yet willing, it seems, to let up on us. The waters of Catawba river are j said to have reached a point twenty-one feet atxive low water mark on last Saturday morning. Several parties who started to 1 Rock Hill had to turn back on account of being unable to cross the Gulp bridge. Vaccination has cut down the death rate from smallpox to such an extent that only the most hardened and prejudiced of sceptics now doubt its efficiency. Those people who refuse to take advan- , toge of its benefits have only them- , selves to thank if they are laid low < by the contagion. The compulsory vaccination or- i diuance went into effect on the I 1st of the month and Policeman i Nivens has been busy inspecting I arms for several days. He says In* < finds that nearly everybody in i town lias been vaccinated and he < lias l>een instrumental in bringing a , considerable part of the rest lo the I i scratch within the past few days. I i Officer Nivens had a hot chase ! Saturday morning after Shiu < Moore, colored. Moore appeared ? at the depot, where a large crowd of people were awaiting the airival ' of a train, and it is said was liter- ! ally covered with a first-class case ( of smallpox. Officer Nivens was' notified and, upon his arrival at ' 1 the station, Moore made a spirited ' dash for the country. It is safe to ' say that he will l>e sound and well 1 when he comes to town again. 1 Barber's bridge over Sugar ' creek, two miles east of Fort Mill, has suffered serious damage and f is now impassible as a result of 1 the high waters during the jwtst week. Pai ties living in the Bar-; bersville and Ardrey sections now come to town by way of the Bniles bridge, which occasions a drive of several miles more than by BarIreFs. It is hoped that the structure may have the immediate attention of the authorities and be put in proper shape. A right perplexing question is who has the worst arm from vac * ci nation. Everyone is claiming the distinction and a mau with a broken neck would stand very little showiug as a martyr beside a man witli a vaccinated arm in this > town. Ami you can always tina a 1 friend on your right hand who will * solemnly advise you to be scratched j above the elbow. There is auoth- i er on your left to say take it below. * The advice is giveu with a con- 1 ScioUKIleSH that it is worth millinna 1 but it doesn't cost you a cent. 1 < Young Man Struck by a Train. Mr. Frank McGee, an employe | of the Southern Railway, wn6 | struck and seriously injured by the early morning passenger train a short distance north of the depot j in this place Sunday. He was t flagman on a local freight train , and hud been sent out to watch ( for the passenger train while hia , train was shifting care. He sat j down on the ends of the croasties, \ t and, having been up several nights j in Huoc<'8sion, was soon fast asleep, remaining so until struck by the train. The engineer saw the young man when only a short distance from him, but was unable to stop i ^ the train. Mr. McGee was found ; ^ several feet from the track and in | i an unconscious condition. He i whs carried to the Palmetto Hotel, | v where medical aid waa hastily summoned and an examination made. It was found that his right arm was broken in two places, an ugly nash on iiis head, ami several bruises on his body was the exteut ( t of his injuries. t Mr. iSIcGee is a brother of Mr. , S. H. McUee, a prominent young lawyer of Greenwood htic! also editor of tlie Greenwood Index. He is also a brother of \V. Z.
