The Law as to Trespassers.
Inasmuch as the public general- 1
ly is not well informed as to the
proper method of posting land, we 1
herewith reproduce the full text of
the law in regard to the matter, as i
approved February 2, 1808. It !
reads as follows:
"Every entry upon the lands of
another, after notice from the owner
or tenant prohibiting tin* same, i
shall be a misdemeanor, and to be '
punished by a line not to exceed j
one hundred dollars or imprisonment
with hard labor on the pub
lie works of the county not ex
feeding thiriy days. Provided,
That wherever any owner or ten
ant of lauds shall p .st a notice in
four conspicuous places on the
borders of any lauds, prohibiting
the entry thereon, and shall publish
once a week for four successive
weeks, such notice in any
newspaper circulating in the county
wheiesuch lands are situated, a
proof of the posting and of publishing
such notice prior to the entry,
shull be deemed and taken as
notice conclusive against the per- i
son making entry as aforesaid for
hunting mid fishing."

A Disgraceful Assault.
On Tuosdny ni^ht of lant week
Mr. Robert Kirby. an employe of ;
the Catawba Power Company was
waylaid, robbed and unmercifully
beaten by a crowd of six men on
the highway just north of town.
The f icts as reported to The
Times were that Mr. Kirby had ,
called up >n a yount; lady and al
It)..'50 p. in. started to his home at
the dam. I'pon reaching a point
jnst beyond the old White place
he was confronted by six men, who
with drawn revolvers compelled
him to surrender what money and
veluables he possessed. He was
then dragged from his buirey and
brutally clubbed over the head and j
face. The mob, after beating Mr.
Kirby to their own satisfaction,
fell back and allowed him to continue
his journey homeward.
No arrests have thus far been
made, but it is stated that a majority
of the men are known to
.wr. ivirby hii(1 that ho has proof
of their presence in that vicinity
a short while before the robbery
occurred. What action will be
taken in the matter remains to be
Been.
However, the difficulty at the
dam two weeks a^'o between Kirby
and Nivenshas not >et been settled
as the following facts will
show.
Kirby visited Rock Hill Monday
afternoon, and, afh r seem ing
counsel, appeared before Magis
trate Iteekhani and had wariants
i-sued for the arrest of Nivens under
the charge of /assault and bat - I
tery with intent to kill, tho offence
being committed at the dam about
two weeks ago. The warrant was ,
brought to Fort. Mill by Officer'
Chus. Miller, to whom Nivens
readily surrendered. The party
started to ltock Hill, the place appointed
for the preliminary, by
private conveyance. All went Well
until a point 2 miles west of Fort
Mill. Here, it is said, the officer
had occasion to alight from tiie
vehicle. While in this act, Nivens J
sprang from the opposite side of
the surrey and escaped into the
thickets. An elTurt was m;ulo to
re-capture the prisoner but without
succtss. The. ollieer continued
his journey alone, except for the
driver of the team.
Look For the Meteors.
Fort Mill people who took so'
much interest in the expected big |
shower of meteors three years ago
which failed to materialize, may
get ready for something to happen
the latter part of this week, when
astronomers all over the country >
will be on the lookout again for
these celestial visitors which have
so far failed to put in appearance.
The possibility exists that they j
may still put in an appearance in
considerable numbers, but if thoro
should be a'great display this year
the majority of the astronomers
would be as much surprised as they
were by the total failure of the ex- ;
I . . 1 Ullh % A it
|/vrv biu nuunoi 111 J oil',1, ;\l lilt4 I
mime time noliody whose business,
it is to watch celestial phenomena !
will dure to neglect the vigil this;
week because of the bare possibili- \
ty that the meteors may come ;
after all.
One unfortunate circumstance'
is that a full moon will lie shining !
at tin? time when the meteors are
are due, if they come at nil. This
would make the faint, ones invisi- \
ble. t >11 the other hand many of;
t lie November meteors are large
and bright, ami these would not
be much obscured by the moonlight.
The time to be on the
watch for tliein is after midnight
on Thursday, Friday and Satur- j
day of this week, 'i he direction
to look is toward the northeast,]
the apparent center from which .
the mete irs radiate when they ap- i
pear in numbers, being the sicKle |
shaped tigure marked out by principle
stars in the constellation
Lion.
The Cotton Report.
The chief statistician of the con
sits office on November f> issued a
circular giving the result of I he
reports made him hy the special
agents concerning 1lie amount of
cot?on ginned throughout the col
ton States. Up to October 18th
there had been ginned in the United
States 5,1)25,872 hales of cotton
by 2U,314 ginneries. This is esti
mated to he (50.1 per cent of the
total crop. South Carolina re-'
pons (501,421 bales 2,082 ginneries
which is said to b.i 72.8 per cent of
t he total crop.
These statistics of the quantity
of cotton ginned were collected
through a personal individual ginnery
canvass of the cotton States
by (52(5 local paid special agents of
the census office. She estimate of
the percentage of the total crop
ginned to and including October
18 is based on the estimates of
these local agents, who were instructed
to confine their estimates
to the territories canvassed by
* '-A
tin in ami to the knowledge naimd
therefrom. The census office assumes
no responsibility for tin*
accuracy of these estimates. 'This
report will lie followed I>y a sec??nd,

up to ami including December l->,

made early iti the spring, will eov- !
