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.

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.

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 .

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. A.
Bradford.
