Mrs. Parker, the aged grandmother of Mrs. L P. Fnlp,\ has been seriously ill for soino time at j the bitter's home on Booth street. ! We are pleased V> note, however, j that the venerable lady is 1[now convalescent. A?* V>bserver of such things says that there was less drunkenness in < Fort Mill during the past week than he had ever, known, which wis probably due to Charlotte's dryness. Thus, it se? ms, the new Charlotte law bids fan to result in the making of two prohibition towns instead of only one, as intended. It is with pleasure The Times introduces to its readers this week ! Dr. A. M. Buchanan, of Charlotte, ' who arrived here a few days ago and will in the future practice his profession in this township. Dr.! Buchanan graduated about one ' year ago from the University of Maryland and has since that time gained much experience in the practice of uiedieine and surgery at a number of the leadinir lumrtit- 1 .ils of the North. Fort Mill township has for sonic time felt the need of additional medical talent, and The Touch bespeaks for Dr. j Buchanan much success in this, his new field of labor. The Municipal Election The following gentlemen were i1 on Monday elected to serve the 1 town during the year 1905: For Intcndaut, W. B. Meacham; for wardens, S. VV. Parks, A. A. ], Bradford, Sr., J. T. Young and K. P. Harris. There was no opposing ticket i and, as a consequence, little interest was taken in the election. Of the 51 qualified electors of the ] town, only 18 participated in the eiexliou, I 1 p. i Fill to Hit Dtotb, Mr. Frank Ayeru, a young man who for several weeks has been engaged in construction work on the new railroad bridge over Catawba river, met with u very sudden and tragic death Suudny afternoon at 4 o'clock. Ayers, with other employees, had tinished the day's work and were in the act of leaving the trestle, when the unfortunate young man was tripped by a guy rope over which he attempted to >4^^ 1 * . ? hiu|j hiiu wuh uuriea tiead-long to the icy waters of Catawba, (X) feet below. In hie fall, Ayers body struck several pieces of projecting timbers, nnd when the body was taken from the river it was found that his neck had been broked. Death was thought to have resulted instantantly. The body was brought to Fort Mill, and an inquest was held Monday morning at which a verdict was rendered that Ayors came to his death by being j accidently thrown from the trestle, i The remains were taken to Rock i Hill for burial, the deceased hav- I ing been reared near there and hav- i ing relatives at present residing in that city. Ayers was about 25 yoars of age and is survived by a wife and several brothers. Mrs Amanda Belk Dead. Just as the sun was nearing the horizon of the western sky on the evening of January S, the Rweet spirit of Mrs. Amanda Belk took its flight into the haven of rest. Only a few days did God, in his all-wise Providence, ailow her to suffer before he sent the death angel to bid her leave earth with all its sorrows and woes and come to the mansion above which had been prepared for her. Announcement of the death of Mrs. Belk came as a shock to lu-r friends, many of whom had no knowledge of her brief illness. It was 011 Tuesday of lust week that she was stricken ill of pneumonia, her condition steadily growing more serious until death relieved her of all pain at a few minutes past 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Belk was 09 years of age, a relict of the late D. D. A. Belk, a consistent member of the Fort Mill Presbyterian church, and her long life was that of a pure Christian woman. The sutviving chil dren are Messrs. T. B. and C. LI. Belk. of this place; Mrs. E. P. Galling, of Hallsboro, N. C., and Mrs N. R. Hotrhkiss, of New Haven, Conn., all of whom were at the bedside when death came. Before marriage ahe wna Miss Amand i Heath, a sister of Messrs. O. P., 13. I), and Eb. Heath, all of whom survive. The funeral service was held yesterday morning at 11 oclock at the late residence of the deceased. Confederate and Forest streets. I and was conducted by the Rev. Dr. J. H. Thornwell, assisted by I Dr. J. B. Mack and Revs. M. W. Gordon and J. C. Chandler. Tuo interment took place at the town cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.

The college was chartered in 1801, and opened to studeuls four yeais iHter. The nomination of William D. Crum to l>e collector of customs at Charleston was on Thursday reporled favorably by the senate commerce committee. This is the nomination which has been fought for the laat two years by Senator Tillman because Crum is a negro.
