' Sev^nd of our citizens attended a meeting of .Oasis Temple, Nobles of the M vatic Shrine, at Charlotte Wednesday night. Several candidates crossed the burning sands, and the occasion was graced by the presence of Geo. Ij. Brown, imperial potentate1, and 13. W. Newell, imperial recorder. The Fort Mill friends of Mr. John A. Shinn, superintendent of the Victoria cotton mills of Rock Hill,.will be interested to know %t he lias resigned his position j there and will move in a few days to Sylacauga, Ala , where he lias accepted a similar p >sitiou with ! the Central cotton nulla. One of the mostjenjoyable social featherings of the season was the dinner given Friday evening by Mr. L. J. Massey to about twenty of4 his mercantile and business friends. Mrs. Massey was assisted in serving the elegant repast by Misses Beulah Wilson and Mabel and Mary Ardrey. The pleasures of the evening were greatly enhanced by a numberj of choice selections from a concert phonograph . A very important meeting of the cotton growers of the township will be held in the town hall Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Among the important matters to be brought up will be the reports of the canvassing committi e which will show the number of acres planted and amount of fertilizers used last year Hnd the acreage and fertilizer to be used in this years crop by each farmer of the township. It is desired that every farmer of the township be present, Arrested Upon Serious Charge. Gus Sims, a, whitei^man who formerly worked in one of the mills nt this place, was arrested here by the police officers Fridav eveninir. The arrest was inHtle through the j rejquest of a Southern Railway de- J tective who thought that.Situs whs one of a party of throe who on Tuesday night held up a freight J train between Pineville and this place. Sims was at once given a hearing and as no evidence was produced connecting him with the crime he was released. One of the gang was carried to Rock Hill by the train crew and turned over to the police, but later whs also released. The other man escaped from the train and has not been heard from. Will tbo York Olsponury Qo? A Yorkville special to the News and Courier says that no definite : steps have yet been taken looking ! to the closing of the State "rum mill" mill at that place, hut it is more than likely that the good ieople of the county will *'get ! may" before many weeks have jessed. York is a large county, compnra'.ively, and in some respects con* d tione are peculiar with reference ' t> the whiskey traffic. The "mill" ' #u Yorkville h; the only one in the ccunty, and the only one that is ?mr likely to be, and, as is well kniwn, it was established here be- j cntse s majority of the qualified voters residing inside the incorpor- ] Ate limits of the town at the time j vott-d in favor of ita establishment. The majority of the winners was abovt twenty. Tlie large majority of the tax payers we.-e nnc(*nclitionally op/ I osil to its establishment. It is a conservative estimate to say that the opposition represented 80 per cent of the taxable values, and there is little reason to believe that if the voters of the town and sur* sounding country are ^'iven another try at it 75 per cent of them will vote to close the rum shop, and that the representatives of 95 per cent of the taxable values will vote the same way. Unfortunately the town and 6nrroundiriL' coiinlrv Hie run I r. J f - --- | sufferers, are not allowed to express their wishes in tho matter at the ballot box when they are anxious to correct the evil which they were allowed to foist on tho community without the consent of a majority of the qualified voters residing in the entire county. Perhaps one-third of the popu- : latiun of the county, as well as the ; same proportion of taxable values, i are in Catawba, Fort Mill and l>etheijda townships. The people of j these townships do the bulk ot their trading either at Rock Hill or Fort Mill, ami comparatively tew ever have occasion to come to Yorkville, and, therefore, from practical experience know little of the disagreeable, degrading, hu- j miliating effect of the rum traffic as carried on here by the State, witli the county of York and the town of Yorkville as partners. All they know is tlint about $'i,000 in so-called profits is turned over to tho county treasurer each ! year, and that, notwithstanding; this fact, the tax levy is just as: high as it has ever been. They do not fm>l iliul 4lw??- ...... I ? ?v ? ? %?( ?. i m > r*l*7 ill 11 ^ W tiy responsible for the original establishment of the business, and while there have been no visible results in the way of decreased taxes, they do not foel that they Jjave been benefitted, either direct- j iy or indirectly, otill if they aid ! in getiing rid of the Yorkyiilc "rum mid" the county will lose the "revenue" it is now receiving and in addition they may be forced to pay a tax of one-half mill in case the governor concludes that the local authorities are not using due diligence in the enforcement of the law, and for this reason there are some who believe that few of the voters resili ng in those townships will either sign a petition, asking the county commissioners to order an election, or vote for the removal of the rum mill ^should an election be ordered, and (therefore, the effort to kick out |the institution and make it possible for the governor to order an traditional tax as a penalty might) Tn- . j ; This correspondent is satisfied, b>y reason of his personal knowl- > et,lgeof and acquaintance with the [ citizenship of the three townships ' mentioned, that there is no simil- < ar area anywhere in the world i where there is a larger proportion 1 of conscientious, honorable, high- ! toned or intelligent. Christian men i and women that own the property. ! pay taxes and live in those townships, And he is also satisfied that if a majority of them are given an opportui ity of saying whether or not York county shall he free from t.Lrjiv- ^didm of being directly and from, choice in the whiskey husi- | ness they will vote to quit, re- ' gard/eas of the so-called profits ! now going to the county or the possibility of having the addition- ! al taxes imposed. It i(S believed hy many that all , that ife necessary in order to secure 1 the required number of signatures t> a petition asking that an elee. tion bq. ordered-one-fourt h of ihe qualified voters of the county?is for the prescribed petition to be prepared and placed nt various i places in the county, say at Rock I Hill, Fort Mill, Clover, Yorkville, j Hickory Grove and Sharon, and the voters notified where it may j be found. The safe in the otlioe of the Mo- i Aden cotton mills at McAdons- i ville, N. U., was opened and robbed of between $1,800 and $2 000 and i a number of valuable papers some- i time between the dosing hour Saturday night and Monday morning. It was evidently the work of professionals, hut there is no cine i to the identity of the thieves. The snfe was opened by the combinn. tion, which wa^ changed by the operation. For Sale.
