Compliments Two Fort Mill Ladies. ' .
The Fort Mill correspondent of 1
the Columbia State on Thursday i
paid the following compliment to ;
two of our young ladies: ]
"Miss Kiltie Kirkpatrick, eld- ; est
daughter of Dr. T. S. Kirk- 1
Patrick, left yesterday for Mil- ,
i ledgeville, Ga., where she is to i
become the head of the music
department of the Georgia Normal
and Industrial college. Miss ,
Kirkpatriek graduated at Winthrop
college two years ago and !
then went to New York city and ;
spent a year in study at one of !
i the leading conservatories of
music. Recently she returned to
this country, after soendiner a
year under instruction of the
great musician Burmeister in
Berlin. Miss Kirkpatrick is not
only a talented woman and a j
finished musician, but is also an
I exceedingly intelligent young
lady, and will doubtless do much :
to make the music department
of the Normal and Industrial Col- I
lege of Georgia one of the first of I
the South*
"Miss Mabel Kirkpatrick,
younger daughter of Dr. Kirkpatrick,
will leave within a few
days for Chicora college, Green- :
ville, where she is to teach modern
languages. Miss Mabel
Kirkpatrick is a graduate of the
College for Women, Baltimore,
and, like her sister, is also a
very intelligent young woman." t

Splinter Writes of War Times.
Editor The Times:
We have nothing of interest to
eport from this section, so will
-elate an incident of the war,
speak a word of comfort to some
>f the defeated candidates, etc. i
And now Cousin John Jaggery
tnd Uncle Jim Cansler, we
vould advise you to just stop
hat running or you will come up
ill broken-winded one of these
lays and then you will be a .
barge on your friends. But we
idvise you both to get you a plug
nule, or horse, a one-horse wag>11
and go to peddling tinware.
3ut Cousin Jogn, if you should
ake a notion to run again, we
vould advise you to cut olf the
ail end of your name?just run
t John Gary-and you might
?et there.
We have quite a vivid recolection
of your Uncle Mart Gary
rom '02 to 'G5, and we don't
emember to have ever heard of
lis running one time. Rut i<
vas said of him that he could
ight harder and curse louder
han all the rest. We remember
o have heard him cursing one
ime when he was more than a
nile from us.
And now we will tell you a j
rue story in summer of '61. The
>art of the army to which we be-1
onged was stationed down James
iver at a point called New Market
Heights, which was a high j
range of hills overlooking James '
iver, but more than a mile from
be river. We could plainly see
he gun boats manuevering up
md down the river and every
>nce in awhile they would fire on
lur line, and one day a shell fell
ust inside our line and killed 7
;oldiers outright, and then a ,
>hell fell in our line which failed
.0 explode. It was measured
md, to my recollection, was 22
nches long and 18 inches in circumference.
When stood on
ts end, it resembled a small
churn. Gen'l Lee walked this
ine one day, he had his field
jjlass and seemed to be counting
he number of boats on the river.
Between our line of battle and
.he river was a fine field of corn,
hen in roasting ear. Our picket
ine, which was some half mile in
'ront of our line of battle, was
lirectly through this field, and
,ve thought we were going to i
lave a high old time eating corn,
nit there came orders to the effect
that not a single ear of that
corn must be taken. Well, the
.emptation was too great, and
.vhile there was none taken right
Uong the line, the boys would go
?tr at a distance and bring it in
jy the arm-full, and we know ,
me fellow that eat 15 ears at one
feed. Splinter. 1
I\ S.?A friend 'phoned us recently
from Fort Mill saying that
he believed us Gold Hillites had
just quit work and were putting
in all our time talking politics.
What will we call this, now, a
mistaken identity with him, or
what? If he will just come up
here and nicss with us awhile, he
will find out that it is nothing
but pure and undefiled Democratic,
blue-blooded patriotism
that we are all clogged up with.
A man may be engaged to a '
woman ten years, but he will
never hear that she has duties
she owes to her relatives until
after he has married her.
