W. Elms has accepted the position of teacher of the Belaire school and will assume his duties as such in about two weeks. ?The James Adams Shows, which were here the Dast week. were well patronized at each performance. The show is good, clean and all right and well worth the price of admission. ? Mr. John T. Robertson on Saturday sent to this office a mammoth beet wbich was grown in his garden. The beet weighed 63-4 pounds and measured 25 inches in circumference. ?The Clio Herald says that Dr. E. C. Barber is now owner of the J. W. Hamer Drug Co., of Clio. Mr. Barber is a former Fort Mill boy and his many friends here will be pleased to know that he is meeting with success. ? From an exchange it is learned that the first frost last fall came on October 11, and that there was a killing frost the following morning, October 12. There was no more frost and ice during the month, till the 29th, when the temperature dropped to 29 degrees. ?From the Waxhaw Enterprise it is learned that Miss Eva Collins, daughter of Mr. P. R. Collins, of Belaire, had the misfortune some time ago of having her foot crusued under a sled on which she was riding, and it is feared that her foot will have to be ampuated. ?The following marriages have been performed during the week by 'Squire John W. McElhany at his home on Confederate street: On Snnrtav Mr T71K IfimKroll and Miss Jessie Starnes, both of I this place. On Monday, Mr. W. Owens and Miss Lloyd Blalock, of Burlington, N. C. ?The users of Hornet's Nest Liniment, made in Charlotte and used for a quarter of a century, will regret to learn that W. N. Mullen, the man who made and sold this well known remedy, attempted suicide by stabbing himself with a carving knife a few days ago. He had been suffering recently from melancholia and nervousness. ?Mr. Porter Bailes, son of Mr. Z. T. Bailes, of Gold Hill, was brought home from Asheville a few days ago and is seriously ill of typhoid fever. Mr. Bailes has been a student at a school in Asheville, and his father informed the reporter that two other students of the school were stricken with the disease and sent home the same day of his son's departure. ?Every indication points to the greatest series of races at the coming Mecklenburg county fair ever held in Charlotte, and the attendance of more prominent turfmen with a higher class of horse3 than ever before. The program for the four days includes running races in dashes and heats, trotting races in various classes and pacing by some of the fastest horses in the east. Purses aggregating $4,000 have been offered by the association. ?The cotton crop last vear brought the South between $700,00,000 and $800,000,000, and the prediction is being made that the crop now being picked will bring nearly a billion dollars. It is to be hoped that the prediction will prove true, for the increased value of the cotton crop is a benefit to the entire people of the South.

Epps, Sr., and Mr. J. R. Haile spent Sunday with their friend Hon. W. H. Stewart, of Rock Hill, who is slowly recovering from his recent severe illness. ?Mr. P. G. Fonville, who is to be tried upon the charge of aiding Franc Jones in the robbery last spring of the Charlotte National Bank, was a visitor to Fort Mill Sunday. Mr. Fonville's case will be called in the court at Greensboro, N. C., today. ?The Southern Railway has a force of hands engaged at present in repairing its Sugar creek trestle, between this place and Pineville. The trestle, which is a wood affair, is said to have needed repairs for some time. ?The postal authorities have sent out notices of a change in the rates on foreign postal matter. The new order went into effect October 1. The former law required the payment of five cents per half ounce, regardless of the weight of the package sent, but from the first of this month there is a charge of five cents for the first ounce or fraction thereof. This will be a distinct benefit to those who have friends across the water, and especially to cotton firms and houses having considerable business with foreign countries. ?The State supreme court has reversed the decision of the lower court in the case of John W. Elms vs. the Southern Power Co. It will be recalled that when the />qoa a** ? a--? ? vaoc wuo taucu SUII1C time u^o in the circuit court for Lancaster county the defendant company made motion for a removal of the case to Chester county, and this was granted. Attorneys for the plaintiff filed an objection and the case was sent up to the higher court, which has decided that the trial shall be held in Lancaster county. Mr. Elms is seeking damages for alleged injuries received while in the employ of the company at Great Falls. ?Beginning October 13th and ending October 19th, the mails at the local postoffice will be closed fifteen minutes earlier than at present. This is done in order to comply with an order from the post office department requiring for seven days the post master to count each and every piece of mail going from the office and report same to the department and as it will be impossible for the post master to do what is required unless more time is given, the mails will be closed fifteen minutes earlier. The public is kindly urged to have mail matter in the office promptly to insure its prompt despatch. ? Mr. T. W. Clawson, editor of the Wilmington (N. C.)Star, wno nas oeen visiting histather, Dr. Clawson, of Chester, was a visitor here Monday. Mr. Clawson's stop-over here was to look over his father's property in upper Fort Mill, upon which are several abandoned gold mines. It is believed that there is gold in paying quantities on the Clawson property, and although several efforts have been made to locate the vein little success has been attained. It is stated tnat Dr. Clawson has an offer from Northern capitalists, who, if the property can be bought, will open the mines and make a determined effort to operate them profitably. # . .

Belk has been confined to his home for several days by illness. ?As was to be expected, | very little interest centered in1 the election Tuesday upon the i question of the town taking out a new charter. There were only 16 votes cast and these were in favor of the proposition. ?Jones Enormous Shows, which exhibited here last Wednesday, received small patronage at the hands of our people. What perhaps put the damper on the show was the very poor excuse of the parade which was advertised to take place. The parade was nothing more than a dilapidated old band wagon, carrying a band of four pieces. The performance, aside from the acrobatic features, was anything but pleasing, and it was doubted by ! many whether the show made expenses. ?Somehow there is something about the town of^ Pineville that reminds us of another town we happen to have some knowledge of, and maybe you do, too. The Pineville correspondent of the Charlotte Chronicle says; "Variety is the sniceof life." and wp Pinevillians dearly love variety. Professor Dubose, who is the latest principal of Pineville High School, is the sixteenth principal in sixteen years, and while we have been pleased with each and every teacher, that has been with us, yet we so "hanker" after variety that we are constantly changing. ? Waxhaw Enterprise. ?The Times learns than an effort will soon be made by a number of our prominent citizens to secure a pardon for Henry Withers, colored, who is now serving a term of two years on the chaingang for manslaughter. It will be remembered that the crime for which Withers went up was I committed at the Charlotte brick plant in the spring of last year, Withers having pitched a quantity of gasoline on another colored man and ignited it. The burned man lay for several days and died. In the trial last November it was not clearly established that the men bore malice ; for each other, or that Withers intended serious injury to his man. He was convicted and sentenced to two years. Before this act, Withers was a peaceable, hard-working negro, and many I people here are loath to believe that Withers' deed was committed only as a playful prank. Upon the ground that the negro has been sufficiently punished for his crime, his pardon will be asked. Some Military Companies May Go. Several military companies in the State may have to be disbanded in the near future, ac! cording to a report from Colum| bia. If so, the disbandments will be made on account of the failure of certain companies to maintain a sufficient number of enlisted men on the rolls. The minimum strength of a company of infantry according to the army regulation is 58 enlisted men. The South Carolina military code allows a minimum strength of 40 enlisted men, but a letter just received at the adjutant general's office from the War Department says that "there is no authority for a State to establish the minimum enlisted strength of an organization otherwise than is provided in the army regulations." Another portion of the letter savs thnt Anph PAmnonu ~ V..^v ww*<was Wllipuilj 111 UDt have 58 sets of equipment for enlisted men, and must show good cause for failure if there are not that many. There are many companies in the State whose enlistment is even below the 40 mark and few have 58 sets of equipment. At the next inspection the companies will be required to toe the mark in these particulars. WANTED- At once, a man well recommended to drive delivery wagon and work in store.
