tank, at a point opposite the '
Millfort Mill and near the railroad.
::
?The Times wishes to call at-;
tention to the very liberal club- (
bing offer in another column. ,
There is no denying the fact that 1
this is one of the best offers for
readable literature ever made by j (
a newspaper in this section of
.4 1_ _ __ 1 _ 1 aV 1
me country, ana tnose aesinng
good reading matter at an ex-! (
tremely low price will not fail to 1
take advantage of this offer.
?The friends of Dr. J. L.
Spratt will be pleased to learn ,
that he has been apoointed by I
Col. W. W. Lewis to the position
of battallion qunrtermaster of'
the 2nd battallion, 1st Reg't N.
G. S. C., and will be commissioned
by the governor within a
few days, with the rank of second
lieutenant. Dr. Spratt has
served in the regimental quartermaster's
department for two
years and his friende feel that he |
has merited this promotion.
?The condition of Mr. J. E.
Smith, of lower Steele Creek,
whose barn, together with two
mules and a lot of roughness,
was destroyed by fire about
three weeks ago, is reported
somewhat improved. It will be
remembered that Mr. Smith sustained
a number of serious burns
while trying to save his slock, j
and later was attacked with {
nervous prostration. Mr. Smith
is a brother of Mrs. P. K. Mull, i
of Fort Mill.
?Mr. S. II. Robertson, of lower
Fort Mill showed the reporter
Saturday a curiosity in the shape !
of a hen eorg?or two eggs, as
you like. The egg was about
the size of an ordinary goose egg,
and inside the outside shell was
an egg with a hard shell and the j
size of an ordinary hen egg. The
space between the two shells
contained a substance similar to
the white or a common egg, while :
the inside egg contained both the 1
white and yellow substances.
?In another column will be
found the advertisement of Mr.
N. L. Carothers. For lack of a ,
room for his shop Mr. Carothers ;
has been conducting his barber
shop in a small room over Belk's
store for several months, but on
Friday he moved to the lower
room of the Jones building and
has there fitted up a handsome
tonsorial parlor. He will doubt- j
less realize a sharp increase in
his business since he has secured
such a good location.
? Next Monday afternoon, the,
15th, the Fort Mill Light Infantry |
under command of Capt. T. B.
Snratt. will assemble in the
armory for the annual inspection. '
The inspecting officers this year
are Gen. J. C. Boyd and his as- j
sistant, Maj. W. T. Brock, and
Lieutenant Cabaniss, of the;
United States army. The men
of the local company have been
drilling regularly for the past
six weeks, and the officers are
confident that the company will
pass the best inspection yet held.
?Surveyor H. E. White, assisted
by several young men, has
been busy for the past week
making a survey of Fort Mill for
the purpose of getting up a map
of the town. The law under
which the new charter of the
town will be issued requires that
to'vns of from 1,000 to 5,000
population shall be divided into
wards, and as this was not heretofore
done, the survey is necessary.
The town will be divided
into four; wards, and a warden
will be elected from each, besides
there will be two wardens
at large and the intendant, making
a council of seven members,
whereas, at preeent there are
only ftve- v
tnmoior wulth.

Deputy Sheriff Fred Quinn
accompanied by Messrs. Andy ;
Quinn, Gib Enloe and Howard {
Tackson raided an illicit distillery ,
Tuesday evening, capturing and ,
destroying the plant. The still ,
was located on the A. C. Stroup i
place near King's mountain and i
only a short distance from the !
point raided a few weeks ago. t
They came up on the moonshine
plant in full blast, but the men in j
chaagc escaped into the under
brush. A small boy was seen ;
with the three men but he too
disappeared while the constables ,
were pursuing the larger game. .
Several shots were fired at the |
moonshiners, but they all escaped.
The still captured is a 75 I
gallon still. Five hundred gal- |
Ions of beer, 15 gallons of low ,
wine, and two gallons of whiskey
were destroyed.

Dr. I. Simpson, of this city,
has received an invitation to de- j
liver the famous clinic that he
delivered at Chicago before the
International Dental Congress,
which meets at Norfolk on
September 10. Dr. Simpson will
accept the invitation.
The hall of the Curry Literary
Society at Winthrop is undergoing
refinishing and re-furnishing
throughout. The walls have
been tastefully papered in shades
of purple and dull green, and an
inlaid hardwood floor and handsome
opera chairs will make it
one of the most attractive society
rooms in the State.
Mr. Woods M. Steele, of our
city, has bought the noted
Steele Mineral Spring near the
city and formerly operated by
his father, the late Capt. John
Steele, and will put same in firstclass
condition and supply a l
demands for water. This celebrated
spring was discovered by
the Catawba Indians 100 or more
years ago and is noted for its fine
medicinal properties.
As will be seen in another
column, a meeting of the stockholders
of the Victoria Mill has
been called for Monday, April
29, for the purpose of increasing
the capital stock of the company
from $75,000 to a minimum of
$100,000, with the privilege of a
maximum of $150,000. The mill
is a flourishing institution and
will doubtless soon be enlarged.
Mr. W. R. Smythe, of the Palace
Market, had the misfortune
Saturday afternoon to get his
thumb caught in the bone mill
and getting part of it cut off.
Mr. Beaufort. Sturgis, who
lives about two miles west of
Rock Hill, heard quite a disturbance
on his place Sunday morr ing
about 2 o'clock and got up
nnrl r?v*f Kic i>ictnl ?*-*#! a/%/1

to see what was the matter. lie
found that one Fred Harnett, who
has an unsavory reputation (havthe
record of having been sh; t
twice), had been beating his wife
and had chased her from their
house, and was still after her
about 100 yards from the house
with a knife in his hand, as
though he was goir.g to do mu der.
Mr. Sturgis remonstrated
with him and tried to get him tc
j let the woman alone, whereupon
: Harnett turned upon him with
I the knife and the woman told
?*lr. Sturgis to look out, that
Harnett had a razor, and Mr.
Sturgis, then, in order to defend
himself, shot Harnett twice, the
b'lis taking effect -one in th(
side and one in the chest. Dr,
Fennell was called and fount
that the wounds were fatal anc
the negro died about 12 o'cloct
Monday morning. Mr. Sturgi!
came to the city this morninj
and surrendered. Deputy Win
gate 'phoned the coroner to coini
and an inquest was held thi:
morning at the ?cen? of th<
shooting, and the jury rendere<
: a verdict of justifiable homicide.

The Great Falls Station.
The Great Falls station of the
Southern Povsyefr Company is complete
and ready for service. The
water was turned into the big
dam ten days agq and the machinery
set to work, Since thfen j
the engineers have been busy)
making minor repairs and,
changes incident to the commencement
of active operations
this week.
. The normal output of the plant
is 32,000 of electrical horse power.
The current generated at the
station will be transmitted to the
Catawba station 32 miles distant.
Branch lines will connect with
the manufacturing centers and
the current distributed over a
wide area.

than the supply. It has been j
officially stated that the entire j
output, with the exception of a
few thousand horse power for
special purposes, has already i
been sold. Such a call has there
been, that two other power sites
are now in process of development.
These are at the Ninety
Nine Islands, nearGaffney, S. C., !
on the Broad river, and at Rocky
Creek, near the Great Falls
station, on the Catawba river.
Their combined output when
finished will be approximately
50,000 of electrical horse j>ower.
Should those who visited the
site of the Great Falls development
six months ago return
there now, they would he startled ,
with the change that has been
wrought. Instead of a lonely |
stretch of landscape dotted with
scrubby trees and straggling
bushes, and an immense wall of
concrete and rock standing all by 1
itself between two great hills,
an immense body of water, as
clear as crystal and as beautiful j
as a picture, would greet them. ;

instead 01 me areary and monotonous
clang of the steel hammers,
nothing more than the
lapping of the waves upon the i
dam could be heard. Where
heretofore there has been nothing
more than a lifeiess waste
there is now a park for beauty '
hardly surpassed anywhere in
the country. The whir of the i

rush of the river as it passes out
I beneath the poweb house are |
sounds sweet to the ear. It is j
| enough to make one sleepy to sit 1
I near the edge of the improvised
I lake and listen to the swish of !
I the turbines and dynamos, every j
! revolution of which means the
i accession of additional wealth to I
| the industrial forces of the Sonth.
j Those who visited the Great Falls
I station while the work was in
i progress should certainly make
a second trip to see it complete.
The development represents
an expenditure of about $1,500,- j
000. Those authority assert that
this power is the most economij
cal in America, Niagara included.
Twin steel towers, approxii
mately 35 feet in heighth and
420 feet apart, carry the cables
which transmit the current from
Great Falls to the Catawba station.
This line has been finished
and the cables are ready for the
current at any moment.?Charlotte

Letter to T Q. WHITL03K.
Fort Mill, S. C.,
Dear Sir: If wo sell Devoo to paint
your town, vonr road won't have so
ninch frciirht to handle.
It.takes 10 gallon* to jiaint a fair-size
house,and that house won't want paint;
iiiK again for *> or 10 years. That's true
, in a way; but people, yo i know, rather
like fresh paint, and they paint for
n .thing hut looks sometimes
1 That, hon-o would take 12 or 12 gallons
of almost any other paint than Devoo
, and would have to be painted again in
, half that time. Ten years is a very long
time for a paint to wear; and five isn't
short.
Whicn makes tho most freight, a 10
! or 20 gallon paint? ft or 10 year paint?
, But the 10 gallon paint is tho 10 year
paint, and the 20 gallon is the ft year
" paint. Which makes the most freight?
Ask your paint dealer which he'd
> rather sell, and which lie could se.l most
{ of. Ask your paiifer which he'd rather
paint; whether g> o I o.- bad paint is
J good for his busiutss, which is good
I paint, the 10 or 1,-galIon paint; which
pays most freight, and whb h pays most
wages. Which will you buy yourself,
the 10 gallon 10 year, or 20 gallon 5
1 year, paint?
