Owing to a break in its dynamo, the Mil I fort Mill ha6 been unable j to run at night during the past ' week. However, the usual night; work will be resumed as soon us I the necessary repairs are made. The first mouth of the new cotton year closed Wednesday night, i mid Fort Mill's receipts by wagon I aggregate a total of 5(57 hales for ! the month. The receipts for the) same month last year were 201 bales. The Hampton memorial com- j initte in Columbia is sending out j circulars calling for prompt subscriptions to the Hampton monument. The citizens <?f York county should make a liberal subscription to this fund. Luigi's Shows, a*tented aggregation whose appearances would indicate a dire need of several <nti? of water interspersed with a solution of lye soap, have been the centre of attraction on Main street during the past few days. The premiums offered this year at the State Fair have been greatly increased and competition will be sharp. York's farmers and j manufacturers should interest i themselves in the fair this year j and secure premium lists at once. { The Savings Hank on Monday 1 bought from the Moslor Safe Corn- i puny what is considered the! strongest aud nearest burglar proof i eafe yet made. The door of the eafe screws on and when locked tits so closely it is claimed by the I makers that it is impossible to **et nitro glycerine or other explo sives near enough the interior to do any harm. The safe is the highest in price of any mauufac- ' tured by that company. | It is noted that the list for the i inspection of the companies com- I prising the State militia h?s been ' completed and the inspections will; begin at once. The exact date for ! the inspection of the Fort Mill j company has not been learned, bvit that it will be during the month is n certainty, nnd if the members' care to remain in the service, they I should attend the drills nnd prepare for the occasion. The next j meeting of the company will be held Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The American Bankers* Assocition, New York, in which the Savings Batik of Fort Mill holds membership, has sent to this place a; special detective who for the past . week has investigated the robbery and is making strenuous efforts to ascertain, if possible, the identity of the robbers. What his reward thus far has been is, of course, not given, but the bank officials here have been assured that if the slightest clue is had the association will spare no time in capturing the thieves. A 'phone message early this morning fiom the Catawba Power Company's plant says that at 2 o'clock, a. m., one of the company's magazines, containing nine kegs of powder and two ca*es of dynamite, blew up, completely demolishing the building. Fortunntely, no one was near the building when the explosion occurred. The management has no idea ns to the cause of the blow up. The report was distinctly heard by a numlter of residents here. mi !i- - - xue pue or mutilated greenback bills, which were acattered over' the bank by the blowing up of the i safe, were on Saturday shipped to the treasury department at Washington. The money was so badly torn up that it was impossible to tell the amount, and the exact loss of the bauk by the robbery will not be known until the treasury department is heard from. However. there is little reason to believe there will be Any change in last week's estimate of the loss? $a,ooo. Personal Paragraphs Miss Julia Thocnwell is visiting friends at Mhhiuiii;, S. C.

Mr. Patterson Injurod In a Runaway, i An accident which came near resulting in the serious injury of' Mr. \V. F. Patterson occurred on Main street Monday afternoon. I Mr. Patterson was driving a spirited pair of mules and in turning j hia wagon the bi*d was tilted ao that one end dragged the ground, frightening the animals, which j ran away. Mr. Patterson was ' thrown backwatd. head down ini<>' the bed, and whs carried in this manner to a point near McKllia- ' ney's livery stables, when the wag- | on came in contact with a tele- I phone pole and he was thrown ! violently to the ground. Dr. 1). G. j Thompson was summoned and dressed the wounds, which con- | aisled of an ugly gash on the right cheek and eye and the right arm was lacerated and bruised from the , elbow to the wrist. Mr. Patterson | was taken home a short while after- ! ward and it is not thought his injuries are serious. The wagon bed was completely demolished. 44? Tru?si?ll Pirdmd. ltather an interesting case acted up ?n Thursday was that of Hollis Truesdell, a negro, convicted in Chester county in February, 1872. of grand larceny and sentenced to j 18 months in the penitentiary, says The State of Thursday. After serving about a year, the negro' escaped, and for 18 years has been the trusted servant of a leading physician. A short time ago some one who knew the circumstances had the negro arrested and sent back to prison. A strong letter from the physician referred to Hnd the recommendation of Solicitor Henry secured the man's pardon. The old man spoken of in the above -paragraph was arrested by Ollicer Nivens at this place two months ago. Trueftdell escaped from prison after serving four months and lias since made his home in this county. The physician in question was Dr. D. (t. Thompson, of Fort Mill, who has known the dnrkey for years. It I was be who circulated and pre- j seated to the governor the petition asking for TruesdeH'a pardon. An 1 effort will be made to have the old i man return to Fort Mill and resume his duties as servant to Dr. Thompson, who has all confidence in Truesdell. Found a Baby Boy. Wednesday night about half past eight a small male infant was found on the platform of the Southern's warehouse, says the Cheater Lantern. A negro boy, Sugar by name, heard the child crying and thought it was the noise of cats. The boy gathered some rooks to throw at the supposed cats but when he found the noise proceeded from a bit of humanity he took a hasty departure. Absolutely no clue to the child's parentage has been found. A change of clothing was left near] the child and the following note: { "This child I leave in the hands of some dear one, trusting that it will be cared for, as I am not able to care for it myself. I leave it here in sight of the heavenly one, Christ Jesus.'1 The handwriting was very good and appeared '.o be the penmanship of. a woman. The spelling was correct. Whether the parents of the child were on the train or frotn the near community cannot be said. Hammond ArrosJed at Newton. tames Hammond, the man who attempted the Iif*- of Supt. (.5. A.

Sheriff Logan was notified on Thursday that Hammond bud beeu caught at Newton; but that lie refused to come to South Carolina without a requisition. Sheriff Logan immediately telegraphed the sheriff at Newton to swear out a warrant and commit Hammond as a fugitive from justice, and after sending these instructions he proceeded to take steps to secure the return of me prisoner to Xorkville. It will probably be a week before Hammond ih landed in the York county jail; but be will 110 doubt be here in plenty of time for the next term of court.?Yoikville Enquirer.

Mr. Walter Potts, who hns been visiting his relatives in Pleasant Valley and Fort Mill, and his "sweethearts" in Pleasant Valley and other places too numerous to mention, returned to his home in Mississippi Monday night. It was certainly pathetic to hear him re- ! late the experience he had when bidding his girl farewell. He went prepared to weep, to conform old vows and make new ones, but, to his great surprise, when he ap| preached her home, he found that there were "others," who seemed to have monopolized the company of his girl. This is the manner in which he expressed his feelings: "It made me so mad that cold chills just ruu all over me. I forgot everything I wanted to say; and if it hadn't been for my stability 1 don't believe I would have gotten a chance to tell her goodbye at all." I consoled him somewhat I by telling hitn that those boys ,1i i cisciii i Kiiuw ne was koiii? to leave for Miaa., the next day?ho has my sympathy. Reddy. Seed Wheat.

A small steel wedge, half an inch wide l?y two uiehes in length, used 1 in the recent safe' robbery, was found a few days ago in the hank. The wedge was sharpened to a la/.or's edge on one end. while the other was probably half an inch thick and. it is thought, was driven between the door and body of the safe, thereby making an opening large enough to allow the uitro glycerine to enter. ? ?

LADIES Four years my health completely gave way. I was 4N years old, and was prostrated from trouble pertaining to my sex. The doctors said there was no hojie for me; I lni^ht live a year, I mi^ht not live a month. I was confined to my bed for three months, and for about a year would have faiutiuKSpells that exhausted me so that I would he confined to my bed after each one, for two or three weeks. None of my fam ily had any hop j of ever seeing ine well attain, nor niv doeor. I was weak and nervous, in a failing condition generally. Some friends in Charlotte advised me to try Mrs. Joe. Person's Remedy. As a drowning jierson will catch at a straw, 1 was willing to try any thin#. I bought half-dozen bottles and took it l>ui coum not boo that it did me tiny good. Still, not knowing what else to do, I bought another half dozen, and without any faith in it or anything else, I continued it. Before I had taken the dozen bottles I felt a little stronger. I took the Remedy regularly for one year, taking in all about three dozen bottles, and it has restored me to health. My health is better than it was for years before I was taken down, and I feel that all danger has passed. My nervousness is cured. It has been 2 years since I stopped taking the Remedy, siuee I needed it. I cannot say too much in its praise. My doctors said my trouble was cancerous, but I think now it was change of life.
