The picking of one hundred pounds of cotton in one day by a man who has passed 80* years of age is quite a difficult undertaking, yet this was accomplished a lew days ago by Mr. J. H. Osborn, who lives with his son on the plantation of Mr. W. F. Boyd in Upper Fort Mill. Mr. T. V. Boyd, of Upper Fort Mill, informs The Times that a portion of the Flint Hill road is at present well-nigh impassible. The entire road is in bad shape, but that portion near Steel creek bridge is washed into holes and gullies to such an extent as to make travel very dangerous. Mr. Boyd also reports the bridge over Steel creek in bad shape. Miss Bessie Poag, a teacher in the graded school here, was summoned to her home at Ebenczer Wednesday on account of the extreme illness of her father, Mr. Wm. J. Poag, who died Wednesday night at 11 o'clock. Mr. Poag was sixty years of age and was highly esteemed by all. Some of the carriers report the roads to be in worse fix than they have been in several years. The hard, incessant rains have done serious damage to the highways. The roads should have been thoroughly worked dnrincr the summer. Farmers will find hauling their cotton to market a serious problem with the thoroughfares in such bad condition. Mr. Otis McMurray, a nephew of Mr. J. H. McMurray, of this place, died in Savannah, Ga., a few days ago from injuries received while at work on the railroad. Mr. McMurray was 23 years of age and is survived by a wife and two children, who a short time ago visited relatives in this place. Seed Wheat.

Isaac Jones, a well known resident of the township, died early Monday morning at the home of his nephew, Mr. W. H. Jones, two miles west i of Fort Mill, as the result of a gun-shot wound self-inflicted Friday afternoon. The burial topk piace Monday afternoon at the ; town cemetery, after services by Rev.- J. H. Chandler. Mr. Jones was 69 years of age and unmarried. He was an exj Confederate, having served the i four years of the Civil war, and was a member of the Fort Mill i camp of veterans. Several years i ago Mr. Jones' health began to i fail and it was noticed that i his mind was being affected by , his illness and, subsequently, he was treated at the State hospital I in Columbia. After remaining ! there for several months his condition showed such improvement I that he returned to his home I here. Lately, however, his health has been failing rapidly and for several weeks he had been confiinod tn his mnm a rrroataf narf of the time. Several times since his mind became deranged Mr. Jones had attempted to end his own life and barely succeeded Friday when he prepared a shotgun and received a glancing discharge on the side of his head. Mr. Jones was an uncle of Mr. A. O. Jones, of this place, and Messrs. VV. II. and Edgar Jones and Mrs. W. H. Crook, of the township. Will Push the Bridge Proposition. The Times is pleased to announce that the Commercial Club has taken up the matter of building an iron or Steele bridge over Sugar creek and will exert fevery effort to succeed in the undertaking. A special meeting of the club was held Monday morning and the bridge matter was the subject of a lengthy discussion. A committe consisting of Messrs. J. M. Spratt, W. B. Ardrey and S. A. Epps, was appointed to communicate with the officials of York and Lancaster counties in regard to the matter, and this committee has addressed a letter to officials of the two counties asking that they meet the committee on Friday, next, or at a convenient date, for the purpose of taking some definite action. It is explained in the letter that the trade from Pleasant Valley and upper section of Lancaster countv I is being diverted to Pineville on account of better roads and bridges, and that the people of Fort Mill are willing to "go down in their pockets" to help build the bridge and hold the trade which rightly belongs to the town. This is a matter of the utmost importance to the people of Fort Mill towuship and the upper part of Laucaster county, and it is to be hoped that the officials of the two counties can come to an agreement and give us a bridge that can be crossed at all times.
