?At a meeting of White Oak
Camp, W. 0. W., held Tuesday
evening it was decided to hold
the annual banquet on the evening
of Friday, the 18th. As
heretofore the lodge will furnish
oysters, turkey, coffee, etc., and
f V?n lo/iino u?ill IaaI/ q f f tlin

side dishes. Each woodman will
be entitled to one guest.
?The cold wave arrived Friday
morning, causing a drop of
several degrees in the temperature.
For several days the j
weather had been very warm for I
this season of the year, but
Thursday night the long-lookedfor
cold wave arrived.
?The marriage of Miss Jennie
Robert Thorn well and Dr. James
Boyce Elliott will take place at
the bride's home on the afternoon
of December 15. The ceremony
which will be performed by Rev.
R. G. McLees, assisted by Rev.
W. S* Bean, of Clinton, will be
witnessed only by the families j
and nearest relatives. No cards |
were issued.
? In the annual report of-the
National Ginners' association issued
Sunday the total number of
bales of cotton ginned to December
1 is placed at 11,064,000
and the total crop for the whole
season is estimated at 12,873,000
bales.

?It is now little more than
two weeks until Christmas and
holiday shopping has already begun.
The stores are taking on a
holiday attire, windows are being
tastily decorated and goods,
are being displayed in an attractive
manner and from from now
until Christmas eve the merchants
will be kept busy.
?Next Wednesday evening
at 8 o'clock the play, "The
Honor of a Cowboy," will be
presented by home talent in the
town hall. The young: people
who are to give the play have
been rehearsing regularly for
several weeks, and the entertainment
will doubtless be well
worth the small price of admission.
?The time for the payment of
real, personal and poll taxes is
drawing to a close, and those
who are liable are advised to no
further delay the obligation.
The penalty will be assessed on
January 1. A great many property
owners and citizens generally
have already met the obliga
tion, but there is still a large
number who have not and the
time is gradually drawing to a
close for the payment without
the prescribed penalty.
?A fancy work bazaar will be
held in the town hall next
Wednesday for the benefit of
the Home Missionary fund and
n it ? . i . ?
aii me people 01 me town and
surrounding country are invited
to attend. Cakes, candy and a
large assortment of fancy work
and dolls in costume will be offered
for sale. This bazaar will
afford an excellent opportunity
for the buying of Christmas dolls
and other presents.

Negro Suicide's Body Still Unfoand.
The whereabouts of the body
of Esau Steele, the negro man
who disappeared from his home
sometime during Tuesday night
of last week, and who is supposed
to have drowned himself
in Catawba river, remains a
my stery.
Steele, who was one of the oldest
negroes of the towhship,
lived with his family on the
plantation of Mr. J. II. Sutton,
north of Fort Milk Sometime
during Tuesday night of last
week, as stated, be disappeared
from his home. In the morning
he was missed and a search disclosed
the fact that he had left
the house, barefooted, and pone
in the direction of Catawba river.
The tracks were easily followed
through the soft bottom
land to a point on the bank of
the stream midway between the
power dam and the county
bridge. The water at this point
is eight or ten feet deep and
very swift, and it is hardly possible
that the old negro would have
entered it except for the purpose
of self destruction.
Relatives of Steele have kept
up a constant watch along the
river's banks for some sight of
the body, but up to this time
have not been rewarded.
About the Odd Fellows' Convention.
Messrs. J. S. Booth, W. F.
McCullohgh, M. Lee McKay and
W. H. Newbold, the delegates

two meetings of the convention
one Wednesday afternoon, and
another that night. A splendid
banquet was served by the Fort
Mill Lodge assisted by their
auxiliaries, the Rebeccas.
The address of welcome was
delivered by Capt. Ardrey and
the response wss made by Dr.
G. A. NeufFer, of Abbeville. The
next meeting will be held in
Winnsboro, the date to be announced
later. Chester Lantern.

a map 01 me eouon mills.
Mr. H. E. Anschutz. a civil
engineer whose offices are temporarily
in this city, has completed
a handy and serviceable
map, showing the situations of
the cotton milling plants in North
and South Carolina, the county
I seats and towns and villages,
i present hydro-electrical power
i plants and the future hydroI
electrical power plants. T1 e
| map further also shows the railroads
which traverse these
States, and the facilities for
i reaching the cities, towns and
j villages by wire.
Each dotting which shows a
cotton mill in any county is
numbered and by looking at a
table which appears, at one corner
of the map, it can he seen
how many spindles each mill
, operates and how many bales of
cotton are consumed annually,

Interesting Items of County News.
(Yorkvillc Enquirer, 4tli.)
?What is to be known as the
West Etui Baptist church waj
organized in Rock Ilill last Fri
day by a conversion of ministers,
composed of Rev. E. S. "Reaves
of Fort Mill, Rev. 1). W. Thomasson
of Old Point and Revs. R. T.
Marsh and J. K. I lair of that
city. Mr. S. N. Sowell Acted as
clerk of the convention.
? It is to be hoped that practically
every farmer in the county
will try for the Farmer's
Union corn prizes next year. The
competition is to be confined
strictly to uplands. Every farmer
who goes into the contest
will be the gainer, and if enough
of them go into it the county will
gain tremendously.
? So far as is known now,
there will be no business in the
(courthouse next week. Judge
Hydrick will probably go to his
home in Spartanburg, while most
of the lawyers interested in the
various cases will be in Columbia
in attendance on the supreme
court. The work of the common
pleas court here will ne resumed
on Monday, December 14.
? There is some slight agitation
of the questionof selling the
county home property, and erecting
a modern building with a
sufficient number of rooms to accommodate
as many people as
may hereafter be reasonably expected
to become charges on the
county. Coupled with the agi!
tation, is a suggestion that the
location of the proposed new
building be left to competitive
? A York farmer \vl o
has for years lu^a successfully
conducting his own operations on
a large scale, and who has considerable
holdings in various,joint
stock corporations, has
been talking to The Enquirer
about organizing a big agricultural
corporation. His general
idea is to have the neighboring
farmers to subscribe their lands
to the capital stock for a fixed
period of years, and let the whole
enterprise be under the management
of a president and board of
directors. He is oersuaded that
farm operations conducted on a
large scale will have many economic
advantages that are imI
possible to small farmers, and-lie
believes that the undertaking
could be developed into a great
success.
Proposed Hunters' License Approved.
The Pleasant Valley correspondent
of the Lancaster News
writes that paper as follows:
Since the opening of the game
season it has developed that.partridges
are very scarce. Some
attribute the scarcity to the1
flsods of 1 :st summer and some
to the depredations of lawless
and insatiable hunters of last season.
We rather think that the
last named cause is the principal
one, and we favor very much
the enactment of more stringent
game laws. We think that the
one proposed by Mr. James Henry
Rice to have every hunter
procure an annual license to
mini, even on ins own land, is a
pood one. The birds, iish and
erame are the property of the
State and there should be laws
to protect them as such.
