Charlotte, spent Sunday at the
home of her parents in this place.
?The fall examination for
teachers' certificates will be held
at the courthouse at Yorkville 011
Friday October 18th.
?Mr. J. 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

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

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.

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.
The farmer is faring much better
than he has in former years,
but he is getting only what ho
deserves,

?Ex-Mayor McNinch and Mr.
O. P. Heath, of Charlotte, were
here Tuesday on business.
?The best price on this market
yesterday for cotton was
11.40. Seed brought 30 cents.
?Mrs. Effie Otts, of Syracuse,
N. Y., is the guest of Mrs. E. W.
Kimbrell, on Booth street.
?Master Geo. Hall, son of
Mayor W. L. Hall, has been
seriously ill for several days with
an illness which it is feared may
develop into dyptheria.
It is understood that Mr. L. J.
Massey has bought from Mr. B.
F. Massey a portion of the
Downs lot, on East Booth street,
and will erect thereon a nice
residence.
?Representative S. II. 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.

? Mr. T. B. 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."

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.
