Cm THE LOGSL FIELoT] Mrs. Fannie Culp. of Pineville, visited relatives here last Friday. | Mrs. S. II. Brewer, of Kershaw, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Catherine Massey. Mr. W. M. Crook is again tench ing the Flint Hill school, the fall session of which opened a few days ago. Mr. and Mrs. John Parks, of Salisbury, N. C., visited relatives in Fort Mill township during the past week. Dr. C. 11. Stephenson, of Charlotte, spent Wednesday at the home of Iris mother, Mrs. C. 11. Stephenson. 1 Mrs. J. K. Brace and children i returned to Winnshoro Thursday tnoriMug, after a short visit to relatives in towu. Tho summer school for teachers at Wiuthrop College having closed, Misses Delia Mills and Susie White returned Wednesday. Mr. F. Niins is 0110 farmer of this township who has profited by the high price of c<>rn, having recently sold a part of his last year's crop at 38 cents per bushel. The 15-inontii's-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Hey ward Morrill, who live about a mile south of town, fell into a tub of water a few days ago and would have drowned but for the timely arrival of its | mother. Mrs. Dr. J. II. Thorn well left Thursday morning for a few week's stay at Connelly Springs. Mrs. Thornwell has boon ill for several weeks ami goes to the springs in the hope ihut her health will be ; benefited. The annual picnic of the farm era of Ciuld Hill will be held at Brown's shop Friday. A number of the candid ites for the Legisla- i ture and county offices are ex- J peeled to bo present and several : speeches will likely be made. Every day or two an excursion train passes through town. The IhbL one was from Westville. Kershaw county, and was b mini for Charlotte. The train was composed of six coaches, three of which were filled with negroes, packed like sardines in a can. Mr. \V. E. Sprntt brought to The Times office a few days ago a tomato, grown in his garden, that weighed 25 ounces and measured 15 inches in circumference. Sov oral who inspected t lie tomato pronounced it the largest one they had ever seen. The hearts of our people were again made gla 1 Thursday afternoon by tho beneficial rain which fell throughout this section of the State. Farmers say that the cot ton and corn crops will he the best raised for years if rain falls occasionally during the next five weeks. "Buster" Mobley, one of the five negro men arrested in this township a few days ago on the I charge of gambling, escaped from Constable T. A. Mills on the public highway a few miles beyond the river as he was bring taken to the comity jail for confinement till the next session of the criminal court, at which ho was to have been tried. Thursday morning Mr. .1. 1*. Bailee, of Pleasant Valley, sold to Mr. \V. B. Meacham, buyer for the Fort Mill Mfg. Company, fiftyl._l e i i ocvt-ij unit's or conon, ai an average price per pound of 9 1-5 cents. The cotton was a part of tlie crop raised on Mr. Bailee' plantation last year. Mr. Bailee is now w ithout any marketable cotton cti hands, an incident which has occurred only four times during the past thirty-seven years. The farmers of the lower i>art of the township held their annual picnic in the grounds adjoining the home of Mr. F. Nims Wednesday. The attendance was fully up to that of past yonrs, and all enjoyed the dny's outing. The picnic not only afforded a day's recreation and the pleasure of intermingling with friends but proved beneficial to the fanners by the exchange of ideas as to the most profitable way of tilling their lauds. Jug Trade Lawful. The Columbia corresp indent of i the News and Courier says that Gov. McSweeney has received a long letter from Fort Mill, in which objection is made against merchants from Charlotte sending (down to that town and getting orders for liquor. The writer; states that no one has seen the > agents take money for liquor and' that they seem only to take the orders. l"nless it can be shown that the orders are taken for the selling of the liquor nothing, it appears, can be done to stop it, unless the niu nieipal authorities can do so. There seems to be no law which will prevent an inter-state agent coining into the Stale and taking , the ciders and taking chances of the delivery and pay for the liquor' when the buyer goes to the town ; or city Riul iieeicies that lie will there pay for his "booze." -<? ? Pineville's Lawn Party. A number of young people of Fort Mill have received invitations to be present at the fourteenth annual lawn pnity, to be given at Fineville tomorrow evening. For twelve years prior to I8t>8 the party wus held annually and i was a source of much enjoyment to the many who attended. At the i party held in 18J)8, however, a number of thugs f-om Charlotte were present and by their drinking and other unseemly conduct all but caused the pleasures of the evening to terminate in confusion. Then it was thought best not to give the party the following year and the matter seems to have been lost sight of until recently. The idea of a party being held this vear was noitatod jiimuur itm people of the town a few weeks ago and all favored it, and this year the committee on arrangements will see to it that no one un i tier the influence of whiskey or : otherwise objectionable will bo ' : permitted to attend the party. Complimentary to Mr. Link. j Chester Lantern. Mr. (i. S. Link, who has been the agent for the South* rn Kail| way company at this place for the j ! past two years, left yesterday j morning for Fort Mill, where he ' becomes s? cretary and treasurer of | the two cotton mills at that place, j .Mr. \V. (}. Johnson, who comes from Anderson, took charge Sat unlay as agent. Mr. Link's de I parture from the city is generally I regretted. The clerical force were ! very much attached to hini, and | they as well as those who knew j him, were sorry to see him leave. ! ! Mr. Link is well tilted for the work that he will be engaged in, ; and we predict f?>r him a successful caree r in the cotton mill business. While we rogret to lose him, we welcome Mr. Johnson to the city. -? ? Southern Will Examine Its Employes The Southern Railway Company has decided to require all its em- j ploy s to stuml an examination every three months on the rules of the company. The new ruling will apply to all employes except ; colored brakeinen and flagmen, ; who have not responsibility and cannot be promoted. It is maintained l>y the Southern Railway officials that many | accidents are directly due to the i fact that employes are not familiar j with, or misunderstand, rules, and I the purpose of the examination is to see to it that the men in the j service of the company have a ; correct interpretation of all rules and regulations. - ; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Krwin spent ; I Wednesday in Pineville, at the home of Mr. It. ML Krwin. The Fort Mill Mfg. Compnny i recently contracted with the On tnwba Power Company to furnish ! electric current equivalent to 'J00 horse power, to drive the machinery of the two mills in this place, j It is improbable that the power company will have its dam completed and the generating plant installed in time to begin furnishing the current before July 1, ltK)3. This depends, however, on whether freshets intefere with the work i of building the dam. # Sr 19nd d Fruit Crop. A railroad o'.Iicial interested in the handling of the fruit crop i iSouth Carolina state.I a few davs npi that the crop this year had been a most successful one. I p to the prtaciit time 1 here hu>e been about 1)0,000orates of peaches, etc., shipped from the South Carolina fruit-growing section to the Northern nmtkets. Tlies? have gone mainly from ltidgo Spring, Johnston. 1 jessville and lintesburg. Of the total amount about Si),000 crates went from Kidge Sp.ing, The shipments are now at their height for the season, the best shipping fruit just coming on. The express and railroad companies are being taxed to the ut- I most at present to handle the ship | incuts. The fruit now ripening is unusually large ami healthy and will bring exceellcut prices. The fruit growers are said to bo in splendid spirits over the season's results. ? The Sting in the South. If the North after conquering the South had treated it as the British now promise to treat the conquered South African Kepuh lie, tlu> bitterness of heart which lingered for years after the war would have healed almost as soon as the actual wounds, says the Baltimore Sun. But instead of permitting the Southern people, after they had laid down their arms, to return to their homes and I>niId up their shuttered fortunes tliey \vert? suhjeeteil to a persecution of ingenious malignity, lasting through ten years, incomparably more hitter to a high-spirited and self respecting people than con-! quest on the field of buttle. It is the memory of the cruel re ! construction p riod which yet lingers in the minds of the older people of the South that, causes, many of them to dissent from Gen. Alexander when he. said that it is better for the South that it did not succeed. An Editor's Enterprise. An exchange is responsible for this good story: A rural editor who j was \isiting in New York was quite amazed with the promptness the newspapers displayed in getting out repotts on King Edward's condition. 1 le determined to adopt the idea oti all important events when he should return home. Soon afterwards he was told one morning by tin; local physician that Deacon Jones was seriously j ill. The deacon was a man of 6omedistinction in the community, so the editor posted a series of bulletins as follows: 10.00 a. in. ? Deacon Jones no bet tor. 11.00 a. in. Deacon Jones hn? relapse. 12.30 j). m.? Deacon Jones weaker, l'tilse failing. 2.15 p. m.?Deacon Jones family lias been summoned. 3.10 p. m.? Deacon Jones has ilit d and gone to heaven. Later in the afternoon a traveling salesman happened by, step ped to read the bulletins, and, going to the bulletin board, made another report concerning the deceased. It was: 4. 15 p. m.?Great excitement in heaven. Deacon Jones has not yet arrived. Lamp Thai Burns Always. New Orleans Times-Democrat. "Tile most remarkable lamp in this soctiou of the country," said a man who cruises a great deal along the const, "is to be found at a lighthouse in the water area between Lake Borguo and Missis sippi Sound, in a lonely, desolate, isolated spot, where the fall of human feet or the dip uf oars are heard only four times a year. The light is some distance this side of Bay St. Louis, and is a liltlo south of Chinchnbu. Itstan Is away out in the marsh, but can be seen from the Louisville & Nashville Kailroad. It burns all the time, day and night, year in and ye?r out. It flickers away steadily for the benefit of marinefs who frequent these waters. It is thy Perpetual Light. The sun, moon and stars may come and go, but the 1 Itt .still shines ont in tho dismal s'retell of country. Sim weeds' grow wild and rank in tliat region. The land, such us < no may see: from a railroad train, is a Uat and ' treeless waste. Jl is gloomy, over hung by misamatic mist and a perfect prune of wild and matted woods of the kind which flourish in marshy regious. It is threaded J by sluggish arms oT water. Once i i very three months tliis lamp is visited by a human being. It is tilled with oil, trimmed up and put in condition to burn for three! months longer. Thus it is visited i four times every year.

It has e trued the name of the Perpetual Light." Reflections of a Bachelor. Bread east tip >n the waters conies back to you very stale.

Joo Person's Ecmcdy Without an Equal. I consider Mrs. Joo Person's Remedy without jui equal. Ten years ago it cured me of cancer oil my face, pro noniieed so l>y three physicians, also of rheumatism, ami every spring previous to that 1 was covered with 1 toils that would last for mouths. Since that time. I have, never had t he appearance of one. So many have boon to me for information that. 1 have concluded to write you a second time, acknowledging my gratitude to you and Almighty God for making you the instrument in Hi-' hands of doing so murk, and let the , public know of my wonderful cure. Your Remedy and Wash do all they claim to do ami even more. Should they ever return, I would feel safe of recovery with your medicine and Clod's help. I have seen numbers of cases cured right here at home with your Remedy, and all arc ready to bless you and say there is none so worthy of universal patronage as this noble woman and her valuable medicine.
