For the reason that the camp is located outside of town and is without 'phone connection we were unable to learn the escaped prisoner's name or his means of escape. It was stated on the streets, however, that the negro had served all of a two year's term except two months and thirteen days, and that the two months would have been taken from his term for good behavior, thus leaving him only thirteen days to serve. A New BdMiai aad Learn, As will be seen by notice in j another column, Fort Mill is soon to have a new building and loan association, capitalized at $50,000.00, divided into 600 shares of $100 each and payable 50 cents per share every two weeks. The books of subscription will be opened on next Saturday, the 14th instant at the Savings Bank. This will be welcome news to many who have wanted to go into the building and loan association, but were unable to obtain stock in the old one as it was already fully subscribed. About 300 shares have already been spoken for in the new association, and it is said thaft five or six nice dwellinirs will h# through this organization in the near future. It is to be hoped that the stock will be promptly subscribed as these associations] have done much for our town in the past, and we hope for much good from this one Reprieved Far 30 Days. Mr. W. S. Peters, who went to Virginia last week, accompanied by Thos. F. McDow, Esq., for the purpose of looking after the interests of his brother, George A. Peters, condemned to be hanged September 20, for the murder of Joseph Easter, a Dunkard preacher, returned last Sunday morning. As a result of the efforts he and Mr. McDow, assisted by friends and attorneys in Virginia made, the governor of Virginia was induced to gTant a reprieve for thirty days, and the hope of the defense is that certain newly discovered evidence tending to show that the murderous shot was fired by someone other than the condemned man may be sufficient to warrant the supreme court in crrantinc a n^w frrinl Mr. Peters is also hopeful that the governor may see proper to commute the pending death sentence to life imprisonment. ?

TBI LIMIT OF LIFT The most eminent medical scientists are unanimous in the conclusion that the generally accepted limitation of human life is many year* below the attainment possible with the advanced knowledge of whiah the race is now possessed. The critical period, that determines its dnration, seems to be bo tweeu 00 ae0 60: the proper care of the body during this decade cannot be too strongly urged; carelessness then being fatal to longevity. Nature's best helper after 60 is Electric Bitters, the scientific tonic medioine that tetitalr.es every organ of the body. Uuatsui*?od by all druggists. 50o. a * York County News. Rook Rill Hentld. ?Mr. John R. Logan of the firm of J. J. Keller & Cot, local contractor a and builder3, with his superintendent, Mr. John F. Gordon, has a large force of bricklayers and other workmen quite busy in the construction of tne new $100,000 cotton mill, the "Lockmore," just below the the Southern railway depot. It is the expectation ef the builders to have the mill ready for work work by Jan. 1 next Col Thomas P. Moore, the energetic president and treasurer of the company, is on the grounds every day looking after the work. This mill is to be run by electricity furnished by the Catawba Power compauy, and the system of motors is a new one in the South. By it a great saving will be had in power, and there will be little or no loss of power from shafting, slipping of belts, etc. In a letter from Mr. Harrington, secretary i.1 r?_ a a - - ei me uarawoa rower company, he writes as follows: "It is worthy of notice that the Lockmore mill, now being built at Yorkville, S. C., is the first Mill in South Carolina to adopt this advanced method, and shows the advanced line s upon which this mill is being constructed. It will no doubt present a verv interesting spectacle to one who has been used to the old style of mill to go into one of these new mills and find everything running smoothly, quiet y at its maximum speed and no sign of a belt or piece of shafting in the entire mill." The foundation of this mill is 75 feet wide, and 300 feet long, there is plenty of room for further extension if necessary. The Southern Railway company is building a convenient sidetrack to the mill. ?Policeman Charles Miller, of Rock Hill, had a lively time Saturday afternoon while arresting Manuel Williams, a notorious offender. The negro has had trouble a number of times with the officers of the law and has sworn vengeance against Miller on more than one occasion, it is said. When the arrest was maHp SatnrHnv th?? fullnur woe caught unawares at his mother's yard and nabbed before he had time to resist. But the mother and two other womon came out attempted a rescue aud that is where the fun began. The policeman knocked all three of the women down as they ran at him. In the meantime the prisoner got loose and started into the officer and he, too. was promptly downed. In the man's case he had to be knocked down twice before help came and he was again safely in custody. Cleveland Springs hotel, near Shelby, N. C. was totally destroyed by fire Monday.
