With a short crop it was expected that it would advance, but instead it has gone down for some days and it now seems that the bottom has not been reached. ?The local dramatic club is very busily engaged in preparing to give a play, "The Gypsy Queen," on or about the 10th of ril. The play is for the beneof the Civic Society, and Eromises to be the best yet given y home talent. Mr. FYank H. Huggins has charge of the affair. ?Abraham McCullough, colored was shot and killed by another negro named Barron Thursday night on the Matthews place 3 miles from Rock Hill. The negroes had attended a frolic and the shooting was said to have been brought about by McCullough's friendliness to Barron's female friend. ?Mrs. Mary P. Outz, grand matron, Greenwood, and Dr. J. ! L. Spratt, grand secretary, Fort Mill, visited Chester Friday night and instituted Chapter No, 15 of the Order of the Eastern Star. Officers elected were: Mrs. J. G. Johnston, worthy matron; W. D. Knox, worthy patron; H. R. Woods, secretary; Miss Mary Sledge, treasurer; Miss Maud Sledge, conductress. ?The play "East Lynne," S resented in the town hall Tuesay night was good. A fairly good audience saw the play and the opinion was general that it was one of the best ever given in the local playhouse. The company will return this.(Thursday) evening and present "The Little Detective," and a full house will doubtless see the play. Seats on sale at Ardrey's. ?Although comparatively little wheat has been raised in this county during the past five or six years, it is generally conceded that the yield this year will be less than ever before, due to the fact that those farmers who always try to raise enough for home consumption were unable to find a time between rains last fall and winter to sow the desired acreage. Notwithstanding the fact that snow fell Friday afternoon and ni$ht for about five hours and this was followed Saturday night by considerable frost, the opinion is expressed by a number who have made examinations that the fruit crop was not injured to any great extent. The exact extent of the damage, however, will not be known for several days. The fruit crop in this section has not been a success for several years and it is the hope of all that the crop this season will not be short. ?The York jury commissioners on Tuesday drew thirty-six petit jurors for the first week of the April term of court and twelve grand " jurors for 1908.

The manager of the convention, a stranger who gave his name as Mason, is said to have become thoroughly intoxicated during the performance, and declined to surrender the cash prizes offered until forced to do so by an offteer. Several ladies and gentlemen left the hall during the performance, having become disgusted with intoxication 1 visible. 1 Preshvterian* Tall Mr At a congregational meeting : Sunday morning, Rev. W. A. ] Haffner, of Clover, was called to i the pastorate of the Fort Mill i Presbyterian church. Mr. HafY- ] ner is well known by many Fort : Mill people. He is an excellent i preacher and it is the hope of i all that he will accept the call. At a meeting Snnday a committee was appointed and authorized to sell the present manse and buy or build a new i house nearer the church. Mills on Short Hours. Following the action of the cotton mills throughout the country the Fort Mill Mfg. Company and the Millfort mill, of this place, on Friday posted notices in the mills announcing that these plants would until further notice run only four days in the week. Thesp mills have not run on short hours or shut down for a number of years, and it is hoped that the cotton goods market will improve and that the mills will be running full time in a few weeks. Crop of 1907 is 11,261,163 Bales. ? The census report issued Friday shows that the cotton crop grown in 1907 aggregated 11,261,163 running bales, counting round as half bales and including linters, and showed a total of 27,577 active ginneries for 1907. This is against 13,305,265 bales in 1906, and 10,725,602 in 1905. The statistics include 127,646 bales returned as remaining to be ginned after the time of the March canvass. The totai number of running bales as given is equivalent to 11,302.872 to 500 pounds each. Supreme Court Decision. The South Carolina supreme court confirmed the judgement of the lower court in the case of the State, respondent, vs. L. R. Small, appellant.?Sale of liquor for future delivery and accepting price at time of taking oraer. The defendent was convicted by the mayor of Easley of violating an ordinance of said town in reference to selling liquor, and was sentenced to pay a line of $50 or to labor on the streets for 30 days. An appeal to the circuit court (Judge Gage) affirmed the judgement of said mayor. The defendant appealed. Senator McCreary, in defending the good name of Kentucky in the United States senate, said that the raids of the "night riders" were results of the unscrupulous methods of the tobacco combine. j Blank Liens and Mortgages at j J The Times office. | 111 1 GARDEN SEEDS! f Our's are just as good, we guarantee, as anybody else's and we think, all considered, are better.

Kingsmore, ])ostofhce inspector, whose headquarters are in Columbia, has been busy the past few weeks and reports in the papers of Orangeburg: county show that he lias been doing good work. A few days ago Mr. Kingsmore collected a $10 penalty from a lady of a prominent Orangeburg family for violation of section 484 of the postal laws and regulations, which prohibits placing a higher class of mail matter in that of a lower class. It is not an infrequent thing for this to occur and while a J great many are ignorant of the ; fact that it is a violation of the law, it means a great loss of j revenue to the postofiice department, which has modified the regulations so as to let the offenders off with a $10 penalty instead of airing the matter in the federal courts. Patrons of rural routes and postoffices should always state fully the contents of all unsealed packages and the postmasters and rural carriers will take pleasure in informing them of the rate of postage on such packages. New Form of Mileage Book. The new form of mileage books on the Southern Railway, Atlantic Coast Line. Seahnnrrf i Air Line and about 25 other railroads of the South will go on sale April 1st. Speaking of this, Col. R. W. Hunt, assistant general passenger agent of the the Southern, says the new books would make very little if any difference to the people traveling in this territory. They will be interchangeable with ail the railroads operated in the southeast. About 25 railroads have entered into the agreement. About twice that many roads accepted the present interchangeable 1,000 mile book. After April 1st, the railroads will sell straight tickets at 21-2 cents per mile. They will sell 1,000 and 2,000 mile books at $20 and $40, respectively. Both will be interchangeable, but the former will be restricted to use of one person and the latter may be used by several members of a family and restricted to use on the railroad issuing it and also to travel within the State. The present form of the 1,000 mile books, which sells at 2 1-2 cents a mile or $25, will be continued on sale for the reason that it will be interchangeable on a large number of lines that have not gone into the agreement on the other mileage books.
