The town council has at present n number of wagons engaged in J hauling rock to the town crusher, preparatory to macadamizing a portion of the streets this fall. Mr. and Mrs. .T. W.

The game of baseball played on i ino rori xvl 111 diamond yesterday < afternoon between the "Old Reliu- i bles" and the ''Professionals" re- j suited in a victory for the latter team by a score of 12 to 0. Candidates for the various county offices will speak at Fort Mill Thursday. Kvery Democrat in the township ought to be here as there are some good men in the race and warm speaking is anticipated. Mrs. J. H. Thorn well returned Wednesday night from Connelly Springs, N. C. Mrs. Thornweil has been in feeble health for some time and her stay at the springs was of much benefit to her. In response to a telegram from Enaley, Ala., Mr. S. C. Faris left one evening during the past week 1 for that place to be at the bedside ' of his son, Mr. Arthur Faris, who | is dangerously ill of typoid fever. Mrs. W. S. Stacy spent Wednes- I day of last week at the home of her father, Mr. W. 11. Carothers, in this place. Mr. Stacy is now employed at the shops of the Rock ! Hill Buggy Company in Rock Hill. I A number of farmers of the' township begun picking cotton : " t iuuuuiijr mm mug. x ue crop 18 I maturing very rapidly and before J many days the streets will be ' crowded with wagon loads of the j fleecy staple. Parties who attended report a very quiet meeting of the emigres- | sional .candidates at Six-Mile ; Church Monday. Owing to a misunderstanding in the date of the meeting there were only about fifty voters present. At a meeting of the Confederate pensioners held Saturday, Mr. J. W. Ardrey was elected a delegate to represent the Fort Mill board in the approaching election in Yorkville of a county board of pensions. Two marriages were performed by Dr. J. II. Thornwell at the manse on Tuesday night of last week. The contracting parties were Mr. J. P. Crowder, of upper Fort Mill, and Miss Alice Sic- 1 Corkle, of Mecklenburg county, and Mr. Frank Gulp and Miss Dovie Garrison, of Pineville. A heavy thunder and rain storm visited tIns section last Thursday morning. The storm came 01 iihout 3 o'clock, a. m., and for three hours there was a veritable downpour or water. The creeks and branches Hooded the bottom land and considerable damage to corn is reported. A passenger on the morning train Monday, upon being asked by a fellow passenger what town this was, reluctantly informed him that this was Fort Mill, the place where, if a man stepped from the i train with a jug, lie was locked up, and if the jug be found to con- i tain whiskey, he got 3 yeats and t> mouths on the roads. In some of the operations at the Catawba Power company's plant last week a tind of three Indian skeletons was made. There were in the graves a lot of handsome ; beads, different from any ever found in this section before. Upon the breast of one warrior was found n tomahawk. It is reported that one of the l>ones, when measured by a G-foot man's corresponding bone, overlapped the latter fully one third. i Mr. Kimbrell Gies Suddenly. Mr. Loroy Kimbrell, whose homo was in the village of the Fort Mill Mfg. Company, died suddenly at 12 o'clock Wednesday at. the home of Mr. N. 1?. Yarborough, 1 mile i south of town. Mr. Kimbrell had gone to Hock Hill on the morning tiain, transacted his business, and tiot'caring to await the arrival of 1 the evening train, had started afoot to his home hero. I'pon ; reachiny: the home of Mr. Ynr- i borough, he stopped to rest a few minutes. It was while in the house 1 that lie was attacked with heart i failure, fell from his chair and ex- j pired before medical aid could be summoned. The burial was made i Thursday at the cemetery in this place. Mr. Kimbroll was reared in Pleasant Valley, Lancaster county, and lived there until about tS years lull.<11 1... 4 1.:.. . ??X .1 11 v llivw U l*? linr* III' was (><? years of age and an ex Confederate soldier, having enlisted at this place at the opening of the war. He was a member Co. 1>. C?lh S. C. Regiment, served through the entire war and was never wounded. A number of his war comrades survive him and all say that no braver soldier than he ever took up arms t<> light the Yankees. Deceased leaves a wife and several children to mourn his sudden demise. Election Betiing in Fori Mill. Though not to be considered a sporting t >wn. when election time comes around Fort Mill falls in line and a considerable amount of money changes hands. There are always those who think they can 1 name the winner and are willing J to hack their judgment with cash. ! Of course, others think differently 1 and hets are made. Quite a number of wagers have already been made here on the! result of the coming primary, the I interest centering elnelly upon the gubernatorial outlook, though a number luive offered to put up cash on the result of the senatorial vote. At present a majority of J the betting is upon the ehunees of i Jim Tillman as governor, with 5 I to 2 against his election. Then, there are other bets that Tillman will be in the second race and who will oppose him. Some think Tab bert, others Hey ward, and this calls for more betting. There are several days yet in which to arrange bets, and it is safe to say | that anyone who expresses his belief as to a winner, and is willing to bet his money, will experience little trouble in getting it covered. ' Pleasant Valley Dots. Pleasant Valley received lu r share of the heavy rains of the past week and the result is that the present prospect for a good crop is very flattering, indeed. Miss Wren Harris, of Fort Mill, is visiting relatives in Pleasant Valley this week. 1 had the pleasure of attending a picnic at Mr. I). (). Pott's pasture last Saturday. For a while in the morning the weather was somewhat inclement and made the | prospect for a pleasant day seem gloomy, but it booii cleared olT and the wentlier was us delightful as could be expected. The place was characteristic for its nut oral scenery?the steep hills, ' towering oaks and the large and , high rocks upon which the boys and girls assembled to watch llie . rippling water of the stream below ' and ndmiro the beauties of nature in general. Another characteristic feature of the occasion was the l "coon" wh ? sat on a rock near by playing tho banjo as only the I "coon"' can play. "Cooking and eating time" soon arrived. The! table was spread with a groat vari- i elv of chicken, cake, pies of all ...wl .1 'i.: . ty iuivi lllfUl j u! Ilt'l I II I IlgH IOC) numerous to mention. Suffice to s ty that each and every one lite' a i "genteel sufficiency". The water- ; melon feast Was the admirable feature of the afternoon. With that exception the time was passed off similar to the forenoon. Ahont 5 o'clock all were on their way , home with the satisfaction of hav- ! ing had a very pleasant day. I entortain some hope that the I Potts' pasture shall become a fa- ! inoiis picnic ground. J. J. D. Tickets For the Primary. Tlie tickets for the use in the primary elections are now being sent out from Columbia to the various county chairmen in accordance with the estimates furnished by them of the number needed. There have been half a I million tickets printed and this should bo a sufficient number to meot all possible demands. Those who are thoroughly familiar with South Carolina election matters predict that the total number of votes in the K.ot primary will not be over 02,000 ami say it may not roach that figure. i Big Contract in Electric Power.
