Mr. J. B. Gaskin, the photographer who has been here for several weeks, joined the troupe at this point and left with them Sunday morning. ?Messrs. W. F.

The treasurer has been doing good business on his round this fall if id Kolii?rn(i fUof V.!n miiu iv ?u witu v vu tua1' iliO LU1" lections at this point will -run up higher than for a number of years.

The young fellow admitted to having killed two doves and one partridge and willingly paid the fine. ?The farmers of Fort Mill township are doing all in their power to compel an increase in the price of cotton.

'.V JP .v r .,v .v | j SPECIFY If you were sick and sought a physician, the consultation would likely be worth very little to you unless he prescribed for you and he would likely prescribe the best he knew and you would go to the Druggist whom you thought would furnish it the best he knew and whom you thought knew the most. You would be interested all around. HOW ABOUT PAINT ? Do you ask the painter what sort of paint he expects to use when he contracts for your house and agrees to furnish the paint. Ought you not be interested in what sort of paint he uses. There are all sorts from seventy-five cents to one dollar and sventyfive cents. We sell the latter kind at a dollar sixtv and the name is DEVOE. And if you should ask your friend about it in California he would tell you that Devoe is the standard there as here. All paints are said to be "just as good" as Devoe, but you can have satisfaction by having Devoe for an outlay of less thantme dollar for the whole job. You pay the painter $2 to $3 per day, wouldn't it pay you to specify what sort of material he uses. Ardrey's lP:r"u.g Store. ?The Times learns of another dwelling which is to go up in the near future. This one will be erected by Mr. W. P.

It will be remembered that Perry was shot three times, twice by Officer I Powell and once by Chief Potts, while resisting arrest Saturday night, October 26.

The operation was performed Monday by Drs. Elliott, Kirkpatrick and Meacham. The negro stood the operation well and it is believed that unless complications follow he will recover.

Mr. Newton Pettus. a young farmer of lower Fort Mill, had a very narrow escape from probably fatal injury Tuesday afternoon near the Charlotte Brick Co's plant. 2 miles below town. Mr. Pettus, with his wagon heavily loaded with lumber, approached the railroad crossing at Graltan and his team had just mounted the tracks, when upon looking up the young man was terrified to see a train rapidly bearing down upon him from the deep cut to the north. He whipped up his mules in an attempt to clear the tracks, but was unable to do so, and realizing his own peril jumped just in time to save himself. The monster engine, which was running at probably fifty miles an hour struck the wagon about center and the rear wheels, axle and other parts as well as the lumber were completely demolished and scattered for a distance of fifty yards. The front of the wagon remained intact though the wheels were wrenched in such a manner as to be worthless. It was indeed a narrow escape for Mr. Pettus and bis mules. Gold Found in Greenville County. Seven rich veins of gold have been discovered on a farm about one mile from Fountain Inn, in Greenville county, and about eighteen miles from Greenville. The announcement was made Thursday by Dr. George F. Lee, a geological expert and mineralogist who spent three days in examining the metal. The veins are thought to be about sixty feet deep, and the mine wilt be the richest in the State and probably in the South. Zircom, monazite, kaolin and rutine were also found on the property. The deposits extend over 270 acres, all of which belong to two wellknown citizens of the county. A stock company wiii be formed at once to mine the metal.
