On tin* front page of I'lii* Times
this week i? veil it Complete rostter
of tin* nieti who enlisted in the
toivil war from Fori Mill township.
< A somewhat similer list was pnh
lisheil some time atro. but it tie
Iveloped a little Inter that a mini
\l>er of errors appeared therein, and
the township commit tee decided ti>
go over tho entire list and make
;8iich changes and add such in fori
iiiHtinn as it was possible to obtain.
The list as it appears this week is
'.taken frr. n the hooks furnished by
wtU'e State ftir getting up the rolls,
and is correct, or as nearly so as it
; is possible to net. The abbreviation
following each name designates
the rank, such as "G" for
corporal, "1,M for private, '*S" for
<8t*rK??tur. etc., wmie tuo star (w)
befone the name means that the
party is.dend. The Times regrets
that it could not ijive the wounds,
icnpinreH.aml < 111 \y of deaths, that
appeared on the roll book, but for
> 1 irk of space we were compelled
llo omit these.

Wanted?Better Accommodation.
The time is at hand when the
people of Fort Mill and the travelling
public generally are in need of
better accommodation at the pas
inert g^r-station of the Southern
.Railway in this place. Tlio one

We don't know that this is a violation

High Prices Sure to Come.
Tin1 farmers of the South have
presented In them l?y the disasters
of the western Hoods an opportunity
that. should hy no means he j
nel'Ieeted.'
Four of the largest wheat and
| corn produeiuii states of tho West
"have heett damaged in their 'crop I
prospectsJor tlie present year hy
oiie-tialf or more A'ncl it is plainly
to he seen that there must he a
shortage of foodst nil's in eonse
queuco. Mhocp. cattle Mini horses i
have'been destroyed in larye numbers
anil the efl'eet must bo to re- .
'duee labor ami other productive
returns from the farms. Prices of :
food and their related interests in
I the beef, pork and mutton markets
| are sure to be much higher in the ;
( Future than in the past season.
Corn is more likely to soil for over
than under a dollar per bush 1
And the Southern farmers who
have become accustomed to tind
their bread and meat in Western
markets will be called upon to recoup
present losses to t hose people
by higher pi ices for foodstuffs.
It is not too late yet for South- j
erii farmers to fortify against that
manifest state of affairs. K/ery '
one of thmn can devote a part of
his land Mill! Istlwtr ti. riiisdtnV i?irn
hnil pens and thus supply himself
with substitutes for his usual
western supplies.
It is yet possible anywhere in
the South t< plant and raise crops
of the kind mentioned and those
who are wise will lose no time in
taking tins warning to himself and
prepatinn to meet the ^jenoral rise
in the price of provisions by huv
injj an ample home-raised stock of
| food in his own mil) and .miokei

About the Militia Encampment.
Members of the local military
j company, as well as the public
| pjenorally, will be interested in the
! following item from the Columbia
' Keeni'd of Friday:
(Jen. ttohn I). Frost returned
yesterday afternoon from Washington,
where he went in couueetion
with militia ntTairs, and lie
brings good news for the militia.
There has been set aside for this
State, and will soon be available,
$:n,:ttl(i.2r> foi encampment pur- J
poses, besides an er .A -ivmt fund :
i of a>24.i5o." 2(.t. All of the latter
fund is now available, and an equal
sum will I>h later on. This fund
does not. include the ettuipmeut. of
magazine and carbine titles, which
ate to be furnished free, nor dot's
it include the encampment fund
mentioned, which is to be used for \
the transportation and subsistence
of the othcers and men who partie- j
ipate in the encampment and who
will receive regular army pay and
receipt for it.. Those who do not
participate will not receive any pay.
A meeting of the Held officers is
to be held here next Wednesday to
| consider the matter of encamp- (
merit. They will consider the location
of camps, the water supply,
! lmhls, etc., of any place desiring j
; the encampment.

I today went to Id 1-.1 cents but the
i pity was there was none for Hale, i
says The Chronicle of Wednesday.
I Mecklenburg county and this entire
section lias been practically
drained of cotton, and if the staple
' were to ^o to even 20 cents, it
would mean nothing to the farmers,
the men whose brain and brawn
produce the orop.
Cotton at 13 1-4 cetils. and not a
bale offered! How the farmers of [
Mecklenburg must lament their i
shortsightednesH in selling their 1
crops at 8 and 9 cents a pound, i
when J they nii^lit have waited a
while and received an additional
I $2f> to the bale!
Today's high price breaks the 1
record on the Charlotte market for
23 years, for it was in 1H80 that j
cotton solo in this city for 13 1-4
cents. In 187 4, or six years earlier,
it went to 133-4 in New York.

Attempted Suicide in Rock Hill.
Journal, Friday: Kb Stutts, an
operative of the Highland Park
mill, made an attempt at suicide |
Tuesday afternoon, by taking a
Doison (It'llg. or a chemical of Home
sort. Tuesday afternoon Shifts
went to a lielil where a negro whs
at work hoeing cotton and aked
the negro to kill him, ''No, air 1
can't do that," the negro replied.
Slutte then, according to the ne- ,
gro's story, ottered to pay to the
negro kill hint, saying that he was i
going to kill himself anyway, hut
the negro still refused, and Stutts
walked olT to a branch nearby,
where the negro saw him swallow
something and drink water front
the branch. The negro gave the
alarm and a largo crowd soon collected.
Dr. \Y. (t. Stevens was !
summoned and when he arrived he
found the man in a deep stui or.
lie called in the assistance of Drs. j
T. A. Crawford and *T. E. Massey, I
?Ir. By using a stomach pump, )
antidotes were given and his stomach
washed out and his recovery
is now expected, unless he took i
cltntn kmi iu . .1* uttiiia uAtd in ?? It wli '
cast' the physicians say death may
re.-ult after three or four days time.
Stutls lias a wife and several children;
his wife was preparing to
leave him, however, and remove to j
Chester this week, and these domestic
troubles are supposed to be j
the cause of his attempt at suicide. ;
He says he is going to complete
the job when he gets up again

A Plea for the Orphans.
Dr. W. P. Jacobs, of the Thorn- i
well Orphanage, has issued an appeal
in behalf of the orphans, in | '
wlweh, among other things, he |
says: ''The disasters in the Pied- i
mont sections of South Carolina
and Georgia, so unprecedented and
dreadful, have for the time being .
turned all the gifts in Inat direction.
And all aid for the orphans 1
ceased. Now that the authorities
at. Spartanburg have announced
that no more is needed, we asW
