?Bom March 15th to Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Capps, of LoweH,
N. C., a daughter.
?The county chaingang camp,
which has been located just below
town for several months, has
been removed to a point near
Flint Hill church, in the upper
section of the township.
?The price of cotton has deceived
everyone. 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 petit jurors from Fort Mill
are H. E. Parks, S. C. Fari3 and

?The fiddlers' convention held
in the town hall Saturday night,
resulted in a drunken brawl, we
are told, rather than an amusement
affair for the many ladies,
gentlemen and children present.
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

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.

Be Careful of Your Postage.
The State says that Mr. S. W.
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.
