The stay is because of a notice of appeal serven on me solicitor by J. P. Ilollis, Esq.?Yorkville Enquirer. ?The editor a few days ago visited the smith shop of Mr. A. A. Young and while there witnessed the resetting, or "shrinking" of a set of buggy tires on a cold tire setter. Py this method the the tire is not removed from the wheel and is not heated. The wheel is firmly fastened in the machine and by operating a powerful lever the tire is grasped by a set of clamps and gradually closed up. Mr. Young ordinarily resets a set of tires with this machine in twenty minutes. ? It is reported on the streets that an effort will be made next spring to secure a new ball diamond for the local ball team. The placing of a telephone line across the present ground has rendered it well-nigh useless as a ball ground. The new diamond will, if secured, be located on the knoll beyond the present play ground. At this point it is said by the ball players a much better ground than the present one can be had. A public subscription will De taken lor the erection of a stand, bleachers and fence. It is believed that sufficient money for these improvements will be forthcoming, as a number of citizens have expressed a willingness to contribute liberally to the cause. Praise For the S. C. Soldiers. The Chattanooga News, in an article Friday anent the encampment at Chattanooga, has the following to say, in part, of the 1st Regiment of infantry from this State: The South Carolina boys have ^ about the best equipment of any militia regiment that has been at the camp. In speaking of their equipment Gen. Potts, commander of the camp, was very complimentary. They have the conical tents similar to those used in the regular army, the new regulation rifles, each man has a portable cot which, while very comfortable, can be folded up into a space three feet long and three inches in diameter. The mounted officers have their own horses with them, and they all maintain the reputation of South Carolinians for <?Yrr?llnnt manship. They have the regular army horse epuipment which is in the best of condition. Each man also has two uniforms, the khaki and the olive drab, with hats and caps to match. They also have a supply of shelter tents, each man carrying half of one. In case of a storm they button two of the halves together, making a tent large enough to accommodate two men. They have the regulation hospital corps?four surgeons and twelve enlisted men -equipped with a complete set of surgical instruments sufficient to perform any kind of operation. There are 610 oflicers and men in the regiment, twelve companies and an exceptionally good band. In fact, the entire agreement is in as good condition a* could possibly be expected and it would be hard to imagine a jpore gentlemanly lot of men. .jifesv * VWSN'AWSWWW SWWWW OCKED OUT- II 3DSMUSTG0- |f DAY SALE. 11 Yi ve will sell Summer Goods at ?? u cost on a great many things: fic. 7i-2o 7 1.2c 55 2<>c +* rds now $2 75 " 2 25 ' * 7.0 ?* 2 W> h< 2 75 4/ 50 ?S 75 JJ low 09 4> " 03 7> RICE lays.

Caughman, candidate ; for reelection as railroad commissioner, spoke from the stand I in Confederate park Saturday afternoon. The visit of these gentlemen to Fort Mill was in 1 response to an invitation to all the members of the State cam! paign party by the local Domoi cratic club. The meeting Saturday was presided over by lion. J. R. Haile, who with a few well chosen words introduced the tiers. Mr. Blease was the first j 1 speaker. He began his remarks ; [ by citing his record as a Democrat. He was elected to the | legislature when a young man ; i and later to the State senate. ! Had served for several years jus ; {president pro tern of the senate, ' 'and in 1900 and 1904 was elected j a delegate to the national Democratic convention. Had served ; both as county and city attorney of Newberry. Attacked the Ansel administration for its exi travagance, giving figures to i ! show that in 8 years the State ap- i propriations had almost doubled. ( Criticised Governor Ansel's ac1 tion in appointing a negro to' ; office, saying that if he was! i elected governor no negro would ever carry a commission with his name attached to it. This ! remark brought forth hearty applause from the crowd. The ' speaker favored education, but thought the higher schools were , receiving too much State jiid. Only a small percent of the children of the "common" people were able to attend the higher , institutions. Was opposed to i the education of negroes with tax money paid by the white people. (Applause) He favored the abolishment of the bureau J of imigration. ("Do away with ' it," said a voice from the crowd.) It had proven a worthless ex-, | pense to the State. Last year's icAfiuncnce wnn ine witteKinu J had cost the State some $16,000 ' and not one of the immigrants brought over were earning an honest living in South Carolina today. Was of course in favor of good roads and other improvements to benefit the commonwealth. Mr. Blcase had spoken perhaps 30 minutes when a rain came on and he was compelled to close his remarks. He was given long and hearty applause. Mr. Caughman sought rc! election upon his record. He ( had put forth every effort to fill the position to the satisfaction of all the people. Had personally i visited many points in the State where additional railroad facilities were needed and had al ways recommended and ordered improvements where he deemed them necessary. Mr. Caughman was also given a good round of applause when he closed. The audience was in a recep, tivc mood and gave a patient hearing to each of the candidates. It was a happy, good-natured I crowd of voters anil every one i present was in a generous frame of mind, for both candidates were given a good measure of applause and cheers. Messrs. Blease and Caughman left on the early train Sunday lor Winnsboro to join the campaign party on Monday. How to Catch Musk-Rats. Make an ordinary plank bo.t : three or four feet long, nail a : head over one end like a bee-gum ' and bury the box in the ground 11 with head end down on the bank j of stream, letting the head end , of box go deep enough into the i ground to be a little below the water in the stream, the top end i being level with the ground, then cut a little trench from stream j to box in order that the water ' may cover the bottom of box. By doing this the rats think, I bottom of box being covered " with water, that they can dive and goon into the stream and 1 will therefore jump into the box. i r Read Kimbrell's Friday Specials. % Two Winners In Oil We have two Oils that are Winners and which we would like for you to try, for there is not a home in Fort Mill where they are not needed.
