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'

of all wijth wh<*m they have

the wishes of success they will ;

to the Fort Mill patrons of the

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

hotel in that city will not be read;

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

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."

shirt otF the negro, but found not
the slightest trace of a wound. ? .

hunters in question had paid the
$25 non-resident license to hunt

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 ^
