This deal will doubtless mean the development of tin* lower Wa-; teree for the purposes of the Southern Power company and possibly the extention of the railroad belonging to the company from Catawba Falls to LugolF. ? Monday was the shortest day of the year. The sun rose here at 7:26 o'clock and set at 5:19 o'clock, thus leaving only nine hours and 53 minutes of daylight. The contrast of June 21, the longest day of the year, | is remarkable, as the midsummer day has 14 hours and 26 minutes . of sunlight, the dilFerenee be- i ' tween the extremes being four hours and 33 minutes. ?

A total of 11,892,115 running bales of cotton ginned from the j growth of 1908 to Dec. 18. against 3,28-1.070 at the same date of last year, and 27,269 active gin- j1 neries against 27,156 in 1907, were announced by the census bureau in its report Monday. While partridges are reported plentiful in some sections of the I jounty, there is a general com- j plaint of a scarcity of these birds in this township. Some people express the belief that the scarci- j, :y of the partridge is due to .he fact that the country is full ! 1 ?f worthless and half fed dogs that break up the nests during I, .he summer time and kill the ; poung birds befere they are old ?nough to fly. ?The fancy bazaar given in lie town hall lust Wednesday by ;, Lhe ladies of the Home Mission-' ir.v Society was a success in < every feature.

( During the past few days, however, there has been somewhat of a rush of business at the treasurer's office, and it "s likely that by the lirst of the year fully as many will have met this obligation as in former years. ? ? In the case of Jas. II. Patterson against the Fort Mill Manufacturing Company, called in the circuit court at Yorkville | Wednesday, the jury returned a , verdict for the plaintiff in the | sum of $2,000. This was an action for $25,000 for personal in- i juries alleged to have resulted j from negligence on the part of the defendant company. Thos. F. McDow and Jno. R. Hart represented the plaintiff and , W. B. Wilson, Sr., the defend? ant. ?Information from Mr. Theodore V. Boyd of Fort Mill township. who has been in bad health for some time past, is that he has been confined to his bed during the past few weeks and that his condition does not show much signs of improvement. Mr. Boyd's trouble is dropsy of the heart. His numerous friends are very much concerned about him and they sincerely hope for his recovery. -Yorkville Enquirer. Rev. S. J. Bethea, the newly appointed pastor of the Fort Mill Methodist church, arrived j several days ago and on Sunday i night filled his pulpit here for* the first time. A large congre- i gat ion assembled to hear Mr. Bothea's initial sermon and all were deeply impressed with his remarks. Mr. Bethea is an excellent preacher and his resi dence in Fort Mill will doubtless result in the up-building of bis churches and the betterment of all those with whom he is thrown in contact. ? Although weather conditions have been anything but pleasing during the ?>ast several days, the merchants report good i sales and several have been compelled to call in extra h ip to a"Comodate the steady stream, of Xmas shoppers. It cannot he said, however, that trade this year has been as heavy as is usual just before the holidays, but in consideration of the mills being closed and the low,price of , cotton, the merchants as a gonJ era! rule are well pleased with ' the season's business. lJ8W > WISHINGSOME.

There were upwards of 100 members of the order present together with an equal j number of invited guests. After ; the supper short addresses were made by Rev. Edw. S. Reaves, Mr. J. W. Ardrey and Dr. T. S. | Kirkpatrick, all of which were much enjoye 1. The local camp of Woodmen is in a" very prosperous condition, there being at present a number of applications jn hand from parties who wish o join the order. Mrs. Florence Thoruwell Dead. It was indeed a sad shock to the town and community Friday morning to learn that Mrs. Florence E. Thoruwell, widow of the late Dr. dames II. Thornwell, bad died just after the hour of midnight. Mrs. Thornwell had ! been ill for some days, but few, if any, outside the family circle knew that her illness wn? nF such a serious nature. Iler death was therefore u great shock to the public. The funeral service took place Saturday morning at 11 o'clock from the Presbyterian church and was attended by a large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends. The service was conducted by Rev. YV. A. Hafner, assisted by Rev. Dr. Bean, of Clinton, and Rev. E. S. Reaves. The interment was made in the I family plot at the city cemetery. Mrs. Thornwell was a native i of Anderson county, having been born there on August 2nd, 1849. She was married to l >r. Thorn- j well October 26th, 1869. She! was the mother of ten children of whom all survive except the youngest, Bennett, who did in infancy. The surviving children are Earle E., James II. and Allison Thornwell, Misses Florence, j Mary and Frances Thornwell and ' Mesdames J. K. Roach, R. G. McLe. s and J. R. Elliott. Mrs. Thornwell was for quite a num ber of years president of the local chapter U. D. C., and her death is a distinct loss to that organization. 'lhe deceased was an every day Christian. The beautifying indue ices of a pure religion were spread over a life and character as si otless and charming as was ever possessed by any of the noble women who have lived and died in the ages that are gone. As such a life was a blessing and benefaction to all within the sphere of its influence, so is the death of such a one a public misfsrtune, as well as an irreparable loss to the home circle made, dc.-.olatc by her departure.
