& Bro.
?Messrs. Mills & Young, our
enterprising furniture and grocerymen,
have added another department

business. The latest
venture of the firm is the handling
Jof real estate. This is a
business which Fort Mill has

firm already has a number of
valuable properties on its list
of offerings.

farmer, if the weather conditions
are favorable, the bulk
of the crop will be harvested

?There is already talk around
town of the candidates for the
several town offices for the
coming year. Under the new
charter the board of aldermen
consists of six members, one
from each of the four wards and
two at- large. The town has
been divided into wards and
there has been considerable talk
as to the most able men from
each of the wards. Under the
new", charter a resident is not
debarred from office-holding because
he is not a free-holder,
and for this fact, it is expected
that a number of the town's best
men who could not heretofore
serve, will be in the running
when the next election comes
off.
?In speaking of the meeting
last week at Oak Grove of the
York Baptist Association, the
Yorkville Enquirer makes favorable
comment upon the reading
of a paper upon Sunday schools
prepared by Mr. Robt. Lee, of
this township. Mr. Lee also addressed
the association and of j
his address The Enquirer says i
that although his theme was one
that is not usually considered of
special interest by the average
layman, he presented it in a way
that seemed to greatly impress
his hearers, and proved that the
speaker is a young man of marked
ability.
?Jim Izard, colored, was committed
to York jail last week to
await trial at the November term
of court upon the charge of larceny.
Izard, according to a current
report, had been working
at the brick yard at Grattan and
one day the past week while he
was loafing around the company's
store another negro entered the
store, left his purse on the counter
and stepped to the rear of
the room to look at some goods.
When the customer went to settle
for his purchases he discovered
that the pocketbook, as
well as Izard, had disappeared.
The suspected thief was arrested
Saturday, and in the preliminary
hearing there was little but circumstantial
evidence against Izard
until it was brought out that
he had promised to restore a portion
of the money and work out
the remainder. The stolen purse
contained about $20.

?Dr. J. H. Saye is in quite a
serious condition at his home at
Sharon by reason of a spider bite
inflicted some days ago. The
bite was followed by considers- i
ble swelling and later blood pois- '
on developed. The doctor has
been confined to his bed since 1
Wednesday night.
?Some of the patrons of school
district No. 36 are boasting with
a good deal of pride that they
are to have the best school house
in the county. The building is _
now under construction. It is to
be 32x48 feet, and is to contain <
two school rooms, two cloak <
rooms and a vestibule. It will
cost wnen completed, except the
painting, about $1,200.
?The postoffice department
has sent out a preremptory notice
that unless the roads over which
the route runs are put in good
condition by October 7, Yorkville
route No. 6 will be discontinued.
Yorkville route No. 6 runs direct
into the Bethel neighborhood and is
probably the banner route of
the State, handling a larger number
of pieces of mail each month than
has been reported by any
other route.
? There has been a rumor afioat
to the effect that the Catawba
Power people are going to let
the water out of their Neely's
ferry dam next month. The
reason given is that the bed of
the pond is filling up with mud,
and ;t is thought that the letting
off of the water will wash a considerable
quantity of the mud
away. Inquiry of the authorities,
however develops that there
is no foundation for the rumor.
This information is calculated to
spoil some pleasant anticipations,
as many people have been under
the impression that the letting
off of this water would furnish
some great fishing, at least for a
few days.

of Bethel Presbytery in the First
Presbyterian church of Yorkville
yesterday for the purpose of dissolving
the pastoral relations between
Rev. S. H. Hay and the
churches of Beersheba and Clover,
Mr. Hay's resignation having
been accepted hy the two
churches about two weeks ago.
The meeting was moderated by
Rev. E. E. Gillespie and Rev. J.
K. Hall acted as secretary. The
other ministers present were
Rev. Dr. J. H. Thornwell and
Revs. A. H. Atkins and J. A.
McMurray. Elders J. J. Smith
and G. H. O'Leary were also
present. Mr. Hay had been pastor
of the two churches about
seventeen years. He has accepted
a call to a group of churches
in Sumter county.
liock Hill Record.
J. T. Thomason, who was born
and raised in this county a Tew
miles below the city, and who
for a number of years served on
the State constabulary force,
was shot and killed Friday morning
near Great Falls, where he
has been employed as a constable
for some time. Full particulars
as to now he came to his death
are unobtainable up-to-date. A
number of reports are current.
The latest is to the effect that he
went to the house of a negro to
foreclose a mortgage that some
one had on a hog and a pistol of
the negroes, and that he secured
the hog and then asked for the
pistol and was told that that it
was in the other end of the
house, where another family
was, and that Thomason r>rn
ceeded in there and when he
entered the wife of the negro,
Jeff Murphy, who did the kill- i
ing, remonstrated with him and
asked them not to bother their
affairs, and that Thoasonm
knocked her down, whtreupon
her husband shot Thomason,
killing him almost instantly.
Jeff Murphy, the negro who
did the killing, evidently thought ]
he was not in much danger of
of the law, as he hitched up his
horse to his buggy and taking
his wife in the same went to
Winnsboro and gave himself up
to the sheriff, the killing occur- j
ring in that county.
