It is now only one week until Thanksgiving and our people are preparing to enjoy a royal feast in keeping with past cus- | toms.

A iSSEY. 1 5 An Interesting Letter From "Splinter." Editor Times: As Gold Hill has not been represented in The Times in quite awhile we will toot our horn once more, though we have nothing special to report. Our neighbors are generally well I think; as for ourselves we are just wabbling along in the old rut There is a lot of cotton to gather yet and too much wet for the sowing of wheat. A Mr. Noah Williams, of Charlotte, has painted Gold Hill academy of late, and also J. H. Coltharp's dwelling. Thanksgiving day is drawing near and we have no turkey for the occasion. Now, we use the language a certain soldier used in '64 when he heard we must go to Gordonsville and fight where there was no breastworks, "aintweina pretty fix." And we will give you an account of the first Thanksgiving oration we remember of. In 1849 we lived over on sugar creek on the place where Mr. Thomas Darnell now lives. Two of our nearest neighbors were Isaac Spencer and John Slagle. Spencer lived north of us on what is now the Hugh Gilsten place. Slagle lived south of us at what was then Little York. We think J. W. Ardreyowns the land now. There was a young man who lived with Mr. Spencer by the name of Ben Chandler. He happened in at father's one day ana we remember none of their conversation until Chandler got up to leave. When he remarked that it was devilish hard times at Spencer's then for "bless your soul Mr. Coltharp, Spencer is out of meat." But says he, "we are not by ourselves, for thanks be unto God, John Slagle has none either." We would be thankful if all our neighbors had a turkey, for then old Splinter might get a piece. But I think we will get along all right for hog killing time is on, cracklin bread is in season, and, well, we dont want to be rich while it lasts, for we hear that the rich don't use it. So here's to The Times, "Long may it wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave." Splinter. Olbr lt#mi Frnm f.nln Hill The farmers are getting- along nicely gathering their crops, sowing their fall grain and preparing in general for winter. The Gold Hill school has begun to "fill up" again and the work under Mr. J. J. McLure is rocking on nicely. The school will probably have a larger enrollment this year than usual. New churches are the main topics of discussion in this neighborhood just now. The Methodist people are about to begin work on their new church, and the Baptist people are going on nicely with their new Flint Hill church. The masonry work will be completed in a very short time and the carpenters have begun their work. We regret very much to say that we are going to lose one of our nest neighbors in the near future. Mr. C. 11. Graham will move to Steel Creek in a short time. Miss Annie Crook visited her parents Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Crook the past week. Mr. J. J. McLure received a telegram Mondav morning that his father had died very suddenly at his home in Chester. Anderson May Vote in Dispensaries. In the opinion of Representative F. Marion Rucker, of Anderson, whose county dispensary bill was the first to get on deck in the legislature last winter, Anderson is again ready for dispensaries. Mr. Rucker believes his county is tiring of prohibition and will soon vote the dispensaries back into existence. The county went dry under the Brice act, so vigorously denounced by the old State dispensary advocates. Mr. Rucker says the city and county are being flooded with cheap whiskey from neighboring States and this is being supplemented with various kinds of patent medicines. 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 T\ f-i. 1 ? uruggist wnom you tnougnt 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 sver.tyfive cents. We sell the latter ; kind at a dollar sixty and the j name is DEVOE. And if you ! should ask your friend about it in California he would tell you I that Devoe is the standard there i i 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 than one 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 ZDrxzg Store. JJIL ? __ The Ardrey-Oldham Marriage. The spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ardrey, on White street was the scene of a beautiful marriage Thursday evening at 6.30 o'clock, when their youngest daughter, Miss Mary, became the wife of Mr. Jesse M. Oidham, of Charlotte. The wide popularity of tne young couple | made the event of more than ordinary interest, and there were present several score of friends and relatives from this place, Charlotte, and other nearby towns. The marriage ceremony was pronounced by Rev. Dr. J. | H. Thornwell, the bride's pastor. The Ardrey home was beautifully decorated for the nuptial occasion and the throng of guests which crowded every room made the scene a brilliant one. The house was decorated in white, pink and red. The decorations in the north parlor, where the ceremony was performed, consisted of smilax and white roses. In the south parlor were tables bearing the many handsome and costly presents of cut glass, silver, etc. Immediately after the ceremony, an elaborate reception was tendered Mr. Oldham and his bride, at which a large invited company was present and showered congratulations and good wishes upon the young couple. Mr. and Mrs. Oldham left on the evening train for a trip north and upon their return will reside in Charlotte. The Clawson Gold Mine. Mr. W. D. Turner, who is encmcr&A in Anonini, J ill uj; tuc U1U Clawson gold mine in York connty S. C., spent yesterday in the city. He came here to meet Mr. T. W. Clawson, of Wilmington, one of the owners. The mine was first opened up by Dr, Clawson in 1866, and is located (just across the ktate line, 15 | miles from Charlotte, five miles from Pineville and four miles from Fort Mill. It gives promise of an abundant yield and the owners are promoting it with the view either of selling it in toto or forming a company and disposing of the stock. Mr. Turner struck a vein, 10 or 12 feet from the surface, which he followed a short distance and then went on down deeper for a second and larger vein which he is looking for. What ore has been gotten out has assayed { about $226 to the ton. The i i larger vein will likely be found . i this week.?Charlotte Observer. I 1 i Chester Negro to Hang. ! In the circuit court yesterday J morning Lawson Addison, col: ored, was sentenced to be hanged ! i on the 17th day of January next j 1 for the murder of Mamie Halsell on Sept. 23rd of this year. Ad, dison's case was tried on Satur! day and that night the jury rei turned a verdict of guilty. Ad- ! ; dison killed a sister of Mamie ! Halsell also on the same day he killed her. He was cool and was chewing gum when sentence of death was pronounced. Apparently unconcerned as to his fate, he was led back to his cell to await the coming of the end. He is a big strapping negro and , has a black record. This makes two negroes in the county jail under sentence of death the other being Gus Lee. The latter was to hang sometime ago but his case was appealed to the supreme court ana will be decided in January.?Chester Lantern. ?The only juror from Fort Mill township drawn to serve the third week of the approaching term of court is Mr. A.
