IN THE LOCAL FIELD. Everts of the Past Week in and Around Town Briefly ToML Mr. J. T. J. Harris epeut Muaday Hi Charlotte. The jireseut price of cotton is j .8.90 for the best. Dr. J. L. Sprat* spent n few hours iu Charlotte Saturday even- j The Times now lias two b >nn fide subscribers in ttio Philippine Islands. Eggs and butter are still scarce and are bringing \1\ and 20 cents respectively. Mr. T. I). Faulkner, and daugh- ! tor Mrs. A. L. Parks, returned Mon- j day from a. visit to relatives in Cb a riot to. The Charlotte Brick Cooipauv now has its plant running full blast, since the skies have cleared somewhat. A Now York cotton expert says that cotton is worth 0 cents and will probably command 10 cents i before the end of the season. A Mr. Davis, of Gastonia, passed through Fort Mill Friday enroute from Monroe to his home with a select herd of cattle. Prof. Jackson Hamilton went down to Hock Hill Saturday morning to attend a meeting of f|%?A V/rrl/ \r * ...v . vi ii v/uuitij xrai uoi o xissiiciation. Farmers nre getting badly behind with their work on account of had weather. There has not been a half dozen plow days in six weeks. Mr. W. Henderson Colt harp and nil his family have the smallpox at their homo about six miles above here. Mr. Colt harp has a very severe cnse. Rev. I)r. Bridges, of the Presbyterian College, Charlotte, N. C., preached in the Presbyterian church at this place Sunday morning and evening. Mrs. Moore, a returned missionary from Japan, delivered an interesting lecture to a large crowd of ladies Sunday evening at the Presbyterian manse. The rear coaches of the southbound through passenger train were covered with several inches of snow as they passed through Fort Mill Thursday morning. The recent cold weather it is thought, will retard the buddhig of the fruit trees and will more than likely save the crop. A big fruit year is promised us by the wiseacres. Now it a good time t<> lay gravel along the sidewalks, while the ground is soft and muddy. The gravel would readilv become act iii the mud and form an excellent crete, Tn the Circuit Court at Monroe last week H. II M< user, a farmer employe of the Millfort Mill at this place, was acquitted of the charge of disposing of mortgaged property. A young son of Mr. Frank Withers, whose home is about six miles north of Fort Mill, is now engaged as flagman on u {Southern freight train which passes this pluce daily. It will strike the uninitiate 1 as a little peculiar, but merchants give out as a fact thut the cash trade for the past two months has been better than it was for the corresponding time last year. An infant of Mr. and Mrs. ?T. P. Bnrrnge, who live at the Millfort Mill, died Wednesday after an illness of several weeks. The burial was made at the Fort Mill cemetery Thursday morning. Some of our farmers are still holding their cotton. These are the iii'-ii who raise their own supplies and make their cotton their surplus crop. They can always get better prices by doing this. Mr. Frank AIcGee, the young man who was struck by a train on Sunday of last week, while steadily improving, is still confined to bis bed at the Palmetto Hotel. A brother of the injured tnnn has iniiiii un i 11 Ii mi t I? a ? ?.? hi^^L* ?yv\ u n ivn ibivi# ?.V#| l-llU [/fl-Tl nrra, There has l>een another change of operators at the depot in thin place. Mr. H. C. Hippy, who 1>hh been the day agent for several months, has resigned to accept a similar position at liockton, S. C. Mr. 8. C. Yates succeeds Mr. ltippy. While a few of our farmers have been hauling fertilizers from this place, it is said that the sales have been practically nothing as compared with last season, when, up to this time, hundreds of dollars worth had been hauled to the farms. The rural delivery of mail mat* ter gives general satisfaction txt> those on the lines. The people living a mile or farther from the line do not like it. Thoso who hud daily servico by the Star routes are also opposed to the rurul delivery. \ I ? 4 ; Wo nre }?lnd to have seen our Gold Hill friend. <-Sp|ii tor," on the streets several t inn's recently.

The March wiiuis began on the first of the months and have been unusually persistent and severe ever since.
