Bruce, at Winnsboro. An infant of Mr. and Mr?. Pharr Snead died Saturday at the home of i.ts parents in one of the mill villages and was buried Sunday afternoon in the town cometery. There will be preaching at the Presbvterian church Sunrlnv afternoon at 3.30. All are invited to attend. The friends of Mr. L. A. Harris, who has been sick at the Presbyterian Hospital. Charlotte, for several weeks, will be pleased to know that he is improving daily and is expected to return home during the week. Rev. Dr. Thormvell, of Fort Mill, yesterday announced the approaching marriage of his daughter. Miss Julia Earle, to Rev. It. G. McLees, of Greenwood, S. C. The bride-to-be is a most accomplished young lady, popular in society and church work, and has a host of friends. The groom-elect is evangelist for the South Carolina Presbytery and is well known over the State.?Rock Hill Record. The public generally will be interested in the announcement that the Southern Power Co. has increased its capital stock from $7,500,000 to $10,000,000. Thursday an amended certificate to the charter was filed with the secretary of State of New Jersey authorizing: the increase. The new slock will be divided into 25,000 shares of the par value of $100. Fort Mill was perhaps more largely represented at the State fair the pjist week than at any of the fairs of former years. Crowds of people from this community attended each day and many were heard to remark that the fair surpassed any yet held. The only kick heard was against the double rate charged by the street ear people for transportation to and from the fair grounds. At a meeting of the York jury commissioners held Tuesday the following Fort Mill men were drawn for jury duty for the first week cf the approaching term of ! ' circuit court which will convene on Monday, November 10, Judge Prince presiding: J. G. Smith, P. S. Mcrritt, J. J. Ormand, W. H. Jones. The indications ' are that the Fall term of court will continue for four, and probably five weeks. The enterprising firm of McElhaney & Co. are distributing among their customers each week some very handsome and valuble presents. With each cash purchase of 10 cents of merchan disc the customer is given a ticket and when a certain amount of goods have been sold the person holding the number corresponding to that of the sealed ticket is awarded the prize. Mr. VV. E. i Kimbrell, of Upper Fort Mill, was the winner of the prize driven away Monday, it being a beautiful glass set of six pieces. Mr. VV. M. Biggers, of Clover, who raises the celebrated pit game chickens ? "Old Glories," as he calls them?was here the past week. Mr. Biggers stated that he had shipped $1,400 worth of game chickens to Mexico within the past two months, and is getting orders from there almost every day. While here he bought quite a number of blooded chick'ens. Mr. Biggers now has a Mexican on his ranch, Don Sabres Torres, who does the translating and otherwise assists him in his dealings with the Mexicans. The floral and baby show held Thursday in the town hall was crowned with success which far exceeded the expectations of the promoters. The day was an ideal one for the occasion and all the ladies, and pretty babies, besides a large number of men, were present. One who did not attend would hardly suppose that so many beautiful flowers are grown by the ladies of Fort Mill as were on exhibition. The most interesting featura of the show was the awarding of prizes to the prettiest babies in the sever, classes. In the class ranging from 3 months to 1 year of age Elizabeth, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. VV. B. Ardrey won the prize. In the second contest, ages 1 to 3 years, the judges were much perplexed in rendering a decision. The honors finally fell to Thomas, the 2-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Harris and he was accordingly given the prize. The civic society real| ized quite a heipful sum from ? * the entertainment and it is not I improbable that another show I will be given later, i J IA ? - ' r- i * J ! Another Veteran Passes Away. I I Mr. L. N. Cnlp, one of the ! town's oldest and best known citizens died Saturday night at 9 o'clock at his home on Confederate street. Mr. Culp had been a sufferer from heart trouble for , j several months and was confined ' to his home a greater part of j the time. On Monday preceding his death he was stricken with paralysis, being rendered totally helpless. Everything that medical skill and loving hands could i do was done to relieve his suffering, hut in vain and he gradually grew worse until Saturday evening when he quietly passed away. H I*.. /-*. t ~ im\ vuip was 01 years* oi age and is survived by a son and daughter, Mr. W. II. Stewart: and Miss Ella Stewart, a brother, Mr. Culp, of Morganton, N. ('.. and sister, Miss Lizzie Culp. ol' Fort Mill. Hs was a Confederate soldier, having served gallantly shrouga the Civil war and always loved the cause for which he fought. At che time of his death he was commander of the local camp of veterans and was always active in matters concerning the organization. He was a devoted member and j officer of the Fort Mill Prcsby, teiian church, always eager to perform any duty which devolved upon him for the upbuilding of his church. lie was a good citizen and was universally beloved by ail who knew him. The funeral service was con- j ducted froiTi the residence Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock by | Rev. Dr. J. H. Thornwell, and ; the interment was made in the town cemetery. Pleasant Valley. Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Potts. Mr. D. O. Potts and Miss Inez Culp reported having had an enjoyable time at the fair in Columbia. Mr. Lee Bicketl will move to Charlotte in a few days. We regret to lose Mr. Pickett's family, rney naving been so long in the 1 community. Mv. John W. Ilall ' and M r. R. W. Wol fe were i n Chester the past week, j At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lon Faris on last Tuesday evening at six o'clock, Miss Bleeker Faris was married to Mr. White Cousart by Rev. Bennett. The parlor was beautifully decorated in ivy and ferns. The bride was ' gowned in white silk and carried a large bunch of roses on her | left artn. After the ceremony the party repaired to the dining hall where an elegant supper was served. The many presents , prove the esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Cousart are held. On Wednesday the bride and groom and a few friends were highly entertained at the home of Air. J. W. Davidson where a bountiful dinner was also served. Mr. and Mrs. Cousart will reside in Pleasant Valley. Met a Horrible Death. Mr. Rainey Wilson, the only j son of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Wil! son, who live on the "York and Chester Road in the western part of this county, was run over and horribly mangled by a train near Ogden Thursday night. The body was so completely torn up . that identification was impossible ! except by his clotoing. Both, ! legs and arms were crushed off, and the head and body almost QTownrl In !1 nnln gorr?r? Killo from S. M. Jonc.. &Co., Chester, to Mrs. Ella Wilson were found in his pockets. This being the name ol his mother, parties at , Ogden were sure it was Wilson. He had been to the Fair at Columbia, and should have gotten I off at Smiths, but must have ! been brought on by that place and got off at Ogden. It is presumed he started back walking and was struck by the train going South. Coroner Louthian went down Friday and held an inquest and it was the verdict of the jury the remains were ; that of Mr. Rainey Wilson. The I Wilson family is well known in the connty and deceased is said to have been a splendid fellow. ? Rock Hill Record. Mr. Wilson was known to a number of Fort Mill people, having attended school here during the time which the school was taught by Prof. A. R. Banks.
