?The fall equinoctial storm
truck this section Sunday evening
about 8 o'clock and blew a
rale during the night and until
\bout 10 o'clock Monday. Farnars

pen cotton by reason of its beng

$ ,he wind and rain.
?The treasurer's books for the
collection of tax upon all personal
and real property within the corporate
limits of the town on January
1st, 1907, will be opened at

without penalty until November
1st.
? Barber's bridge, over Sugar
creek, has been given a thorough
overhauling during the past ten
days and the structure is now
said to be in better shape than
for several years.
?The board oS trustees of the
local graded school have recently
had considerable improvements,
in the way of repairs,
made to the school building, and
the teachers and pupils will
doubtless find the building much
more enmfnvt.nhlf> this winter
a result or the work.
? While there is considerable
lumber on the ground, work on
the big seed ware-house at the
Stewart-Springs cotton gin has
not been started. The delay,
we are told, is occasioned by the
railroad's neglect to grant the
builders the right to erect the
building on railroad property.
?According to an advertisement
published in the Yorkville
Enquirer, Treasurer Neely will
be in Fort Mill on Friday and
Saturday, the 25th and 26th days

which has been under construction
for some time past, is nearing
completion. It is located di
rectiy sourn ol the power house.
The wires from Catawba Falls
run into this building and it is
here that the power is generated.
For the past few days the water
in the Catawba river has not
been sufficient to pull the whole
load, so for the past three nights
the load has been carried by the
Great Falls plant. This time
last year water was plentiful in
the Catawba, but on account of
such a long dry spell, it has been
scarce.? Rock Hill Herald.
?W. F. Harris & Sons will

of an additional room to the east
side of their livery stable on
Main street. The new room will

a road from his elegant
farm to that point, and will macadamize
the same, giving a

for some time and her death
was quite sudden and unexpected.
She was a daughter of Mr.
J. R. McCullough of the Pineville
section.
Fort Mill is to have a big show
October 2nd; not a paltry onehorse
affair, but as the hand
bills express it "the naratron of
all tented amusements." And
the announcement brings gladness
not only to the hearts o f
the children but to the grownups
as well, for the fascination
of the big tents, the rings covered
with sawdust, the tumbling
clowns and the hair raising
"stunts" of the up-to-date
thrillers, not to mention the
proverbial pink lemonade and
peanuts, never entirely loses its
effect on us even though "taking
the children" is used for an excuse.
The greatest problem that
confronts our people at the
present date is that of dogs. In
the language of our forefathers,
there are dogs, more dogs and
lots of dogs; in fact a stranger
visiting our village and un-acquainted
with the color of our
population, would declare without
hesitation, that he had got
ofF at an Indian village, where
there are alwavs ten dogs to
mm?*. i._ i?
t v ti ,y liiuuui. vv nai id IU Ut;
done to rid our village of dogs,
is something that council should
busy itself with.
Grand gala day October 2nd,
when Jones' Enormous Shows
and trained animal exhibition
will appear for two performances.
This is the only big show
to visit Fort Mill this season,
and the amusement loving public
should avail themselves of
this one grand opportunity of
[ witnessing the largest, best and
I most complete popular priced
I tented amusement institution on
the road today. Trained animals
from all parts of the globe;
graceful and daring riders,
death defying leaps and divers,
by the world's greatest aerialists.
Two complete performances,
afternoon and evening.

?Hon. W. H. Stewart's condition
has improved to sorr.e extent.
He rested fairly well
Thursday night, and yesterdav
morning he was some better. At
this time it is not known whether
or not an operation will be
necessary.
?The promoters behind the
new yarn mill. The Wymojo,
have not decided on a site for the
location of the mill as yet. Several
of the gentlemen interested
have visited several sites in the
city but nothing definite will be
given out for publication. It is
hoped by all of Rock Hill that
i the new mill will be located here.
I There are several beautiful sites
in and near the city that would
make ideal places for the locai
tion of the mill. Fort Lawn is
| making every effort to locate the
j mill there, even offering to give
j a site for the mill.

?Mr. F. S. Chandler, organi|
zer of the Farmers' union was
! in The Enquirer office this morning,
and from him we learn that
1 he failed to effect an organization
! at Zion last Friday night, the
i matter being postponed until

was effected at Bethany on Moni
day night, and at Clover on
I Wednesday night. The people
of the Bowling Green neighborhood
said that they would prefei
to join at Clover and Bethel. Bethel
was organized last night. Mr.
Chandler said this morning that
he would probably go from here
to McConnellsville.
Mayor McNinch Resigns.

to resign. After having
directed the affairs of the citj

Mr. Barber's Advice.
Mr. Ferguson H. Barber, oi
Rock Hill, the veteran cottor
planter, who has made severa
, hundred hales of cotton per yeai
for many years past, had the
following interview in the Roc!
Hill Herald last week:
"I suppose it is no use to tel!
some of you farmers not to give
1 your cotton away just because
speculators are putting it dowr
to make you do it. Youcansel
for 111-2, 10, 9 or 5 cents, but
they will not get mine. Thai
same crowd putting it down now
tried to get mine from 9 to 1(
cents last year, hut they didn't
do it.
I "When I said on the start lasl
, year when cotton was under 1(
I cents they wouldn't get a bah
| of mine under 12 1-2 cents some
! laughed, hut they didn't get il
i but paid clcse to 14 cents. Give
it away if you want to?wort
; for nothing, if you want to, bui
J .4- -4- -
wiiau uu want to give your cotton
away for?
"If cotton was 7 cents now
when the farmers are bringing
it in the speculators would try U
| put it to 5 and lots of farmer:
'would sell cloth 40 cents pei
pound and cotton 111-2 cents pei
pound and still the farmers wil
give their cotton away. What i:
the use of having a Farmer':
' union and Southern Cotton as
i sociation if you are not going t<
; pay any attention to what th<
leaders tell you? They say li
cents. It is worth 15 cents am
1 if you give vours away it is youi
J own fault."

The NEW "ADONIS."
I^Iiis is the name of our newest and
1 smartest Suit-model, a shape de1
signed especially for young men who
know what style is and who want the
very latest.
An especially attractive model for this season. The
(low cut front gives a chance for your white or fancy
vest to show itself; the lines and general shapeliness
is very graceful and the whole conception is
full of life and snap.
