Sam Moore. colored, was painfully bruised n few days ago by being caught under a falling wall of dirt, at the works of the Charlotte Brick Company.

Spratt, our local dairy- ; mail, was on Saturday the loser of j what was said to have been the I finest cow in the township. The ! animal died from the effect of eat - ! ing green clover. A meeting of the officers of the Fort Mill Light Infantry was held Monday night, at which plans wore perfected for the antiual inspection of the company, whieh will in all probability take place during the approaching month.

On Tuesday night of last week the home of Coot White, just south of tho Ai i 11 fort mill, was destroyed by lire. The origin of the tire is not. known, but when discovered it had made such headway that it , was impossible to save any of the i furnishings in the building. This ; is the second time within a few years that White has lost his home by tire. The Confederate pensioners of i this community will be gratified to know tluit thoy are to receive their pension money withing a few dny.-% nrolmbly during the present week. The distribution, of the artificial limb fund has not yet been made, and those who failed to come in last year may get a chance this time.

Mr. I'otts could doubtless find sale for his meat right here at home, as it noted that one of our merchants advertises in a neighboring daily for just such product. If no severe wenthor prevails for the next few weeks, this section will be blessed with an abundance of fruit. The prospects at present are exceptionally good, especially with pears, the trees being heavily laden with this delicious fruit. The Times man noticed in one of the stores a few days ago an eight inch twig from the orchard of Mrs. J. A. Withers, which had on it eleven perfect specimens of the growing fruit. The law in regard to children working in cotton mills goes into effect May 1. After that date no child under 10 years shall ho permitted to work in any cotton mill in this Statt, and no child under 12 years shall he allowed to work in a mill from 8 o'clock in the evening till (> in the morning. In 1004 the age is raised to II, and in lffOo to 12. [Exceptions are made in cases where the labor of children under the proscribed ages is absolutely necessary to support n widowed mother or a helpless father. Mr. F. J. Mnir, the efficient superintendent of the two mills in this place, has tendered his resignation as such, to take effect on May 1.
