It is reported that.Mr. Brice ! will not ofier for reelection to the office of county atorney and that already one aptscant has applied to the coifmissioners j for the place. Thfc new as-t pirant is one of the Candidates ; who stumped his tcs in the legislation race last Summer.? New Era. Where are the Turkeys? Where are all thi turkeys? Did the eggs fail to hatch, or! the floods of summer drown the them, or are they being held from the market for highei .prices? So far as the writer observed not onej has been pered for sale on this market tips far this season. XNow-a-daysu drove or i (turkeys is almost theT equivalent' of a roll of green-bac :s.

TxVvp,Tra^riifiri>rt T> )]m Limited train of the Southern Railway which is operated during the the winter months for the accommodation of Northern tourists, will begin the season of 1907 . on the 7th of Januar y. On the 5th of January the Southern1 will dismntirmo trdn No Q7 ' the fast mail for which the governmens makes an annual appropriation of $140,000. Increased traffic and double-tracking is given asja reason for the I discontinuance^ thje train. Rev Chandler Goes to Enoree. According to the appointments of the South Carolina Conference, ! Rev. J. C. Chandler, who has served the Fort Mill and Philadelphia churches the past two years, will go to Enoree, in the Spartanburg District another year. During their two years' residence here Rer. and Mrs. Chandler have won the admiration of all wijth wh<*m they have came in contact, and many are the wishes of success they will ; carry with 'them , when they . leave two weeks hence for their new home at Enoree. The "Swing" to Run Oil Time. It will be pleasing information to the Fort Mill patrons of the Southern Railway to learn that j Conductor Moore, |>f the Chester "Swing" has "received in-! structions from division headquarters rt Columbia to do no more shifting at this place. Heretofore theK 'Swing" has done from one*.t<j three hours ; smiting daily at tms place and Grattan, and to bo rid of this I work means that.^he train will; hereafter reach,,.Charlotte on time. A Question For FarmersRecently several farmers have been complaing abcut the scarcity of labor. Hands cinnot be hired by the day or by the hundred pounds to pick cot on. It is not difficult to account for this condition. The railwiys are giving employment to thousands of hands and payirg. more than farmers can'afforc to pay. The construction of cams on Broad and Catawba rive*s have drawn hundreds of farm hands. When the men leave, tie women and children move !o the towns, j Farmers cannot piy $1 *o $1.25 a day for hands to make corn and cotton. This is a condition that confronts ta?mer3 today. How are they t> adapt themselves to it??Spii'tanburg JourMl j I V; ' YI ' , I'ji1'''!*1 "g Fort Mill's New Pastor. { The Fort Mill and Pleasant Hill Methodist churches wjill be supplied next year by Rev. W. M. Owings, who comes frokn the Green Street Methodist ttVarch i at Union. Rev. Owings is spoken : of very highly as a preacher.

Craytoh, S. L. Meacham, Duncan Wolfe. Another Slight Wreck. Railroad traffic was tied up for several hours Monday evening by i the deraiment of several boxcars near the Clebourn st reet bridge. Traffic was likewise delayed several hours Friday by an engine leaving the tracks near the Millfort Mill. No one was injured in either of the accidents. Charlotte's Nev/ Hotel. From the Charlotte Chronicl i it is learned that the new Selwy . ; hotel in that city will not be read; for occupancy before February 15, and it is hoped on that dat? to have the formal opening. Tht public will be interested to know that a commercial rate of $2.50 r? day will be charged at the Sel mv ? ? wyn. i acre win De a large number of rooms for this price, and a number of others will range, from $3-to $4 a day. The highest rate will be $4. Mr. Bel! Promises to be Good. A true bill against Bell & ( Fonville for running a bucket j shop, and the c.ise as lo Mr. ! Boyce Bell was heard in the i Superior Court at Charlotte; Saturday morning. He submitted and judgement was suspended upon payment of the costs aad promise of good behavior. This case was reported by the last grand jury. Mr. Fonville is not in Charlotte | now.? Rock Hill Record, Another Case For the Game Warden? Messrs. R. F. Stokes and John W. Zimmerman were hunting i near Lewis Turnout in South . Carolina a few days ago. when, ! as they shot into a covey, a negro boy whom he had hired to go with him fell to the ground shouting, "I'm shot; I'm killed." rni 1 me runners literally tore the j shirt otF the negro, but found not the slightest trace of a wound. ? . Charlotte News. Wonder if the hunters in question had paid the $25 non-resident license to hunt in this State. Cotton Seed in Demand. The farmers are receiving a good price for cotton seed these days. The market has advanced since the opening of the present season from 22 to 23 cents per bushel. Cotton seen formerly used as a fertilizer have become ! too expensive for such a purpose i and are now almost invariably sold. There is no better fertilizer than cotton seed, but while ; the price remains at the present j figure, few farmers feel con-! strained to scatter them across the fields. A Secret MarriageAnother of the secret marriages performed by Ex-'Squire, Bailes has come to light. This time the contracting parties were Miss Lula Black and Mr. L. fc. Austin, both of Charlotte, wlfio} were secretly married at the home of Bailes, in upper Fort, lviiii township on February 18th. | The couple kept their secret: well, not giving the least inti-: mation of it to their parents until last Saturday. There was no parental objection. The only reason for keeping the marriage a secret was because Mr. Austin had made a change in his busi- j ness affairs and wished to get settled before the marriage was j announced. A New Livery Concern During the pist week Mr. W. ' F. Harris and sdii Mr. Fred Har- ; ris, who during the year have ^ conducted a livery business at Waxhaw, bought the livery, feed ! and sale stablea of Mr. John W. j.
