?This issue of The Times is
gotten out with a great deal of
trouble and extra work. Thursday
while everything was rocking
along smoothly in The Times
office, our colored helper undertook
to wash one of the forms in
the second story window, and
the next thing we knew the form
lay smashed and scattered over
the back yard. The trouble and
work incident to "pying" a form
of type can be realised only by
those who have experienced such
# a
misiomine.
?The Times is informed that
a colored convict escaped from
the county chaingang early
Saturday morning while the
force was at work near Sugar
creek bridge. 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. ? Enquirer.
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

?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
