?The postmasters of South

meeting in Columbia fair week
and Postmaster Massey, of the i
Fort Mill office, will be one of
those in attendance. The postmasters
meeting, while a business
affair, is by no means void

Postmaster Massey is anticipating
a very pleasant time during
his attendance on the meeting.
?The three hundred White

never seen a finer or larger number
of Leghorns in a single bunch, i
and, hs this breed of chicken is :
noted for the large number of
eggs it produces, we imagine Mr.

board at the home of the groom's

Mr. Eason Sustains Serious Injury.
Mr. Chas. W. Eason, overseer
of (he finishing department of .
the Fort Mill Mfg. Company, 1
came near losing his right hand
As the result of an accident at
the mill Monday morning. Mr.
Eason was engaged in operating
one of the machines, known as
the calendar machine, on which
the cloth passes between two i
heavy iron rollers. A piece of
cloth had been torn olF and in
reaching for it, Mr. Eason's
right hand was caught and
drawn between the heavy rollers.
It was several minutes before he
could extricate himself from this
position and during that time
suffered intense pain. Mr. Eason
at once sought a physician and it
was found that the fiesh from
the four fingers of his right j
hand had been almost entirely!
stripped off back to the first
joint and that his entire hand I
was badly bruised. Fortunately j
the bones were uniniured. und. 1
while Mr. Eason will have a very
sore hand for several weeks, he
and his friends are thankful that
he escaped what came so near
being a permanent injury.
Whou you have a cold you may ho sure J
that it has been caused indirectly by
constipation and consequently you must
lirst of all take something to move the
bowels. This is what lias made Ken
nedy's Laxative Congh Syrup so sueeessful
and so generally demanded. It
does not constipate like most of the old
fashioned cough cures, baton the other
hand it gently moves the bowels and
at the same time heals irritation and
allays inflammation of the throat. Hold
by Ardrcy's drug storo.

Captain White Favors New Bank.
Lancaster, Oct. 9, 1908.
Editor Fort Mill Times:
I notice in the last issue of
your interesting paper that it is
| proposed to organize another
bank at Fort Mill. The old bank
' certainly has no objections and
we hope that both the institutions
will do well and work harmoniously
together.
With best wishes for a continuation
of the success of your interesting
paper, I am,
Yours very respectfully,
Samuel E. White.

at the local cemetery.

Friday morning at his homo in
North Charlotte, to which place
he moved from Fort Mill about
one year ago. Up to the time of
his removal from this place, he
had been a resident of this vicinity
for many years. His death
was the result of an iliness of
four weeks of stomach trouble.

of his age, and is survived by a
wife and seven children, three
daughters and four sons. Mrs.
A. R. Ferguson, of Fort Mill, a

A recent issue of the Southern
Christian Advocate contained a I
letter which, in part, had the i
following to say of Methodism in
Fort Mill: ' j
"Brother Staekhouse was with
us last Friday and held our;
fourth quarterly"conference. He ;
preached two very plain, practical,
and helpful sermons, as is
characteristic of him. Friday
evening, for the benefit of our
new Philadelphia church, he gave :
us a stereopticon lecture, which
was very interesting and highly
appreciated by a full house."
