- 'TpiilP^i ?? jg|r WHAT HE SEES AN D H EAR-S ?Cotton was quoted on this market yesterday at 11 cents. ? Mr. Brevard D. Springs, of Charlotte, was a business visitor to Fort ^ Mill Tuesday. Mr. Fred. B. Kiinbrell, a local blacksmith, is out again after an ilincse of two weeks. The handsome new home of ProL J. A. Boyd, ou Confederate street, is nearing completion. Miss Mabel Kirkpatrick is attending commencement at her alma mater, the Woman's college, Baltimore, McL ? Mrs. Frank T. Pegram and little daughter, of Gastonia, were among the visitors to Fort Mill the past week. ? Next Tuesday, the 15th, is the date set for the sale of the $10,000 of school bonds. The hour of sale is 12 m. ?Mr. S. L. Meacham has about completed his new telephone system at Pinevillc and will in a short time issue a directory of the exchange. ? Reports from Mr. C. S. Link, who is under treatment at a hospital in Chester, arc to the effect that he is gradually recovering from his recent illnesa. ? Her many fric?ds will regret to know that Mrs. Kfiie Thompson is atill seriously ill at her home on Confederate street. Mrs. Thompson has been ill for a week or more. ?As a result of the heavy rains of last, week. Section Director Bauer, of the Columbia bureau, estimates the loss to the farmers of the Congaree and Wntoree valleys at $50,(XX). What about the Cnnimunitv Pirnir this summer? The TlMfcs has not heard a word of it and we fear that the season will be allowed to pass by without the holding of this most pleasant event. Cannot Mr. W. F. Harris get the people together and have another day of recreation and enjoyment? ?The Providence ball team came over Thursday evening and crossed bats with the Fort Mill boys with the result that the latter won by a score of 13 to 4. The game, as indicated by the score, was a one-sided affair, the home team having the Providence team outclassed all down the line. ? There was an usually large amount V.1 : of drinking in the city Saturday night and Sunday, due to a large extent, it is stated, to the operations of several "blind tigers" in and near town. The "drunks" were very orderly, however, and the town treasury was enriched little as a result of the destruction of a large quantity of fire-water. ? Mr. W. B. Meacham, secretary of the' board of trustees of the graded school, has received numerous requests from brokers and bond dealers throughout the country for information as to the $10,000 of local school bonds which are to be floated next Tuesday. It is believed that the bonds will sell at a figure considerably above par. The rainfall of Thursday, last, at this place has not been exceeded, unless by that of May 20th, any day this year. The rainVell almost n.c^jsantly throughout the day and at times came down in torrents. As a result of the downpour the streams of this section were on a rampage Saturday and Sunday and much damage was done the crops along the watercourses. ?The eclipse of the moon scheduled for last Thursday night was the genuine article. The obscuration did not come, however, from the shadow of hhe earth or any of the planets, but from a thick, compact mass of clouds. Lovers who may have contemplated "watching the moon" were most effectually "knocked out." ? A correspondent from the vicinity of King's Mountain battleground writes thr.t the stone setters have finished their part of the work on the battle monument and removed the scaffolding. They are packing up to leave. Another stone carver has c<Jmc to help ?omplete the allegorical designs, and within two months more the whole job will be finished. ?Yorkville Enquirer. ?Under an Act passed by the recent legislature, South Carolina is to have, legally, prohibition for two weeks, beginning the first Tuesday in August, and ill the counties that are now wet elections are to be held, on the third Tuesday in August to determine whether the dispensaries in those counties shall be reopened. There are now twenty-one wet counties in the State and twento-one dry counties. The farmers of this section have a lot of hard work ahead as a result of the wet weather ^>ich began about May 20. There have T>een only a few days when crops could be cultivated and in some places the rains have been very heavy and lands were badly washed and the streams very high. The harvesting of smajl grain has begun, and this puts double work on the farmers. Taking farm conditions into consideration, the outlook is not encouraging. About one-third of the cotton has not been thinned, and there is a most abundant crop of grass on hand and it is spreading itself. Every acre of corn and cotton will need work at the same time. , ^ Of Interest To Womankind*^ Miss Mary T. Nance, perhaps one-uf the best known and beloved young women of the State, is to be married at Cross Hill on June 16th to Mr. Wm, L. Daniel, of Saluda. This announcement will be of more than ordinary interest to the general public by reason of the wide acquaintance throughout the State of the contracting parties. Miss Nance, until recently held the presidency of the Rural. School Improvement Association of South Carolina. and* in this capacity she travelled Iiar and wide in the State, and excited an in.;rest in the rural communities for better schools that will not soon pass away. Mr. Daniel is a member of one of the oldest, most prominent and best known families in the State. He is now engaged in the practice of law at the SaluduBnr and represents his county | in the General Assembly. ? ?
