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

serious problem with the thoroughfares
in such bad condition.

Well Known Citizen Suicides.
Mr. W. 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

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.
