Fort Mill Telephono (With Ion# dis j
tance connections) No. 2(5.
AUGUST 12. 1002The
iliUjculty whirl) tin* navy
department is having in securing
a sufficient number of enlisted men
to man 1 lie ships which arc being
rapidly put into commission is a
sad commentary on the methods
and "traditions" of the navy. If
is acknowledged hy those in a p )pition
to know that it is no less
difficult for a camel to go through
the proverbial needle's eye than
for an enlisted man to secure a
commission. This is not true of
the army and, as a eonaeijuence,
the war department has Ijitle dif- j
ficulty in securing a full quota of
prjIistiuentH. When the naval otli
gials see fit to abandon the old,
time traditions and make promo
tiou easy of attainment for men of
ability and character the difficulty
they now experience will dinapppar.
A most interesting statement,
made recently by the commissioner
of pensions is to the effect that
during the last session of Congress
special pension bills were passed
which added 1.000 names to the
pension rolls and general legislation
was enacted which would
eventually add J0.000 names to t!i?*
already long lint of pensioners. It
has been tl/e custom of pension
pon/missiotiers, for a number of
yenre pant, to announce that each
year had witnessed the extreme;
limit in the number of pensioners
pud that the year following would
/see a reduction in the list. Such,
howeyer, has not been the case.
As the number became reduced by
deaths, Congress promptly took
*/itops to increase the number of
oligibles by new legislation and
pow, thirty-seven years after tho
close of the Civil war there ijre on
the /-nils but (>74 less than one million
pensioners. With tho con
slant stream of applications from '
veterans of the Spanish wur and j
from the soldiers who have seen
H H duty ip the Philippines there is
little promise of relief for the tax
payors for many years to come.
The unfortunate fact that, every
IWWHHyPP pension usually means a goodly
ggHflSg^y p umber of votes for the member of 1
||ljHr Congress who in instrumental in j
securing it js oue of the deplorable
factor* which have served to enlarge
the pension rolls beyond all
reason.
The Big Dam Near Fort Mill.
The Fort Mill correspondent of
tfie Charlotte Observer, in a recent
communication to that paper,
gives the following interesting
facts about the building of the
Catawba dauj near this place;
"The building of this dam is
probably the groatcst enterprise of
the kind ever undertaken in this
pection of the country. Two years
Jiave already been spent in its
erection and one year from now
will probably not tind it finished.
It is estimated that it will cost 11
million dollars. About 400 hands
pre now engaged there, work being
in prqgress on both sides of the
river. The pay-roll is about $lfi,000
per month. It is expected to
develop 1,800 horse-power. The !
two cotton mills lp're have con- ;
traded for sufficient power to turn
their wheels. The town is ex- ;
peeling to get eleetrie lights at <
very low cost and many people
are prophesying big results and
benefits for the town by reason ol <
jts close proximity to the power,
i^oine go so far as to say that it is <
Only a matter pf a few short years <
before there will be an electric I
par line from Charlotte hero and I
pn to Rock Ilill. A day can be '

Somewhat Stale.
In h number of exchan&es received
durini; the past week is
noticed an article which tells of n
hotly contested di*p usury nyita :
tnjtiou now on in Fort Mill. It;
flays further t hat from $15,000 to I
$20,000 worth of whiskey is sold
here yearly by the CMir. lotte deal- j
ers, and mh the establishment of a '
dispensary would tako a lar^e rev- !
t'uno from them, that they would
come to Fort Mill and take a hand
in the primary by spending money
liberally in oider lo score its defeat.
It was hoped that the dispensary,
so far as Fort Mill is eontvrned,
was u tiling ?>f the past,
but swell rumors as the fore^oin^
may have a tendency to enliven
the subject. Yes, two mouths ayo
there was considerable discussion
of the advisability of establishing
a dispensary in the town, but no
definite steps were taken to decide
whether wo w- re to have the rum
shopaud the question was (J popped.
If on<> word, for or a^uinst the dispensary,
has heon spoken durinir
I lie past .'10 day*, the Times importer
lias not heard it. In regard
to the statement that the Chariotle ;
1 it]nor men would come to Fort
Mill and spend money in defeating
i 1114 the proposition, it may well
be su d that this is news to our
people.
The Texas Cotton Crop.
In summarizing reports from its 1
correspondents in every cotton
county in Texas, The Houston 1
Post says:
It is an assured fact that a crop , 1
fully equal to the one just marketed
has been made and can hard- 1
ly be lost, except through an uu- | 1
preeedeuted aeries of disaster, j
There is a good prospect that that
crop will be exceeded and there is
even a promise that a "bumper"
crop will lie had. There has been
an improvement (lining the past
month. The boll weevil and the
boll worm are doing considerable
damage in pails of the infected
area, but there seems to be more
fear of tiles; pests than actual I
damage ?s yet. , I

The seventh annual reunion and ]
picnic of the Dulp Family was held
Thursday ill the beaut d ill move i
adjoining the hospitable country '
home of Misses Alice and Bessie
White. The attendance at the re- <
union Thursday was scarcely as
large as that of former years, which j
is accounted for by the fact that ^
another and like gathering was in J
progress in this vicinity at the J
time. Nevertheless there were about ]
seventy-five of the family and con- ' ,
neclions present, and the occasion '
was one of much enjoyment. In
the forenoon the young peoplo
engaged in different kinds of gunn s, (
swinging, etc., while the older ones ;
sat in groups discussing pleasant ]
incidents of the past and live
topics of the day- candidates being
excluded. Dinner was announced ]
promptly at 1 ..'10, and in aualitv <
and quantity it was one which is
Beldoiu excelled. After dinner the j
young people repaired to one of
the spacious rooms of the residence
and for a short while indulged in |
dancing. Following this a business '
meeting, with Mr. T. G. Culp <
chrirman. was held in which a ]
number of resolutions for the improveinent
of future reunions were ;
passed. The crowd then enjoyed ,
e feast of watermelon. t
It was decided to hold the next '
reunion at the home of Mr. XV. *1.
Stewart on the 1st Thursday in
August l'lOd. Mimic for the ocea- i
sion was furnished by the local
string bund.
The annua! Massey family re- ,
union was held Thursday at the
handsome suburban home of Mr. |

thirty.hix children, grand children i
mid out' groat grand child. There
were eleven others closely connected
with the family, hut not
direct descendants of the late |
It. 11. Massey, whose memory they ;
ire wont to cherish. It. waui happy ]
day, for everything was at hand
that had a tendency to promote
happiness. The dinner was a feast
that lasted for nearly two hours,
for one good thing followed anothjr
in succeediug courses. A feat- i.
are of the occasion was the pres. j
Mice of five sisters of the ilailej
tide of the family whose ages j
anged from *?1 to 75 years. : j
Around them centered the popular s
a tercet of the day. The little I
hildron all but suffered for attenion
on account of it. And win n 1
t came to posing for the picture j
hoy were given the front seat of
he group. The tivo sisters wore 1
Mrs. B. If. Massey, Mrs S. II. M
Stephenson, Mrs. Susan llrewer,
Mrs. K. H. Mills and Mrs. Kirk i
and Shannon. They were all onue ]
iccomptished musicians and it af
orded much pleasure and amuse- (
ueut to have each one reluctantly
akc her turn at the piano and en
denvor to coax the former nimblene.-s
into fingers tlmt had attracted
a stubbornness from long idleness.
But they did it nrul very (
cleverly too. X,
