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 is situ- '
utt'd ho tho winds cannot put it .
out. It renders good s rvioe, neve; 1
ones out, never gets diminor or j
brighter. I nit burns with the same |
steady power all the time. 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.
If it is a sin for a woman to
glory in her b auty, it is a beautiful
sin.
The innu in the moon is blushing
red because ho sees so many
tpieer tilings.
rl lie reason a hammock is so
fascinating for two is because it is
built for one.
Humor is like whiskey in inak
ing a person who uses too much of
it very wabbly.
Talk to a man about his business
ami you may get him to in
vest in yours.
The very freedom of action a
man gives up by getting married a
woman gains.
A gir! kisses a man so as to make
up with him, and lie makes up with
her so as to kiss her.
After a man has been married
too long he d h'sii'' worry much
because life is too short.
A widow can know inoro and let
on that hIu* known less than any
other creature on (i od's footstool.

lire. 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. Only give
it a trial. It will speak for itself. [
am still using all my influence for you.
