It ip needless perhaps to call attention to die b;g advertisement of the Kimbrell Company on this page, as it will not likely escape the notice of anyone. In the ' Independence Sale" spoken of the Kimbrell Company offer the buying public some exceptional values and ad those in need of articles mentioned should take this advantage of buying them cheap. ?

Mr. J. (2* Cousart Dead. A telegram from Watterboro this .(Wednesday) afternoon brought the sad i intelligence of the death of Mr. John ! Q. Cousart. The particulars of his : death were not stated in the message, j but it is supposed he died from injuries sustained in an accident, an ac- ! count of which appeared in The Times last we%k. Sbot at Nefro Tenant. Friday morning a serious difficulty occurred between Mr. John Hall, a farmer of the Pleasant Valley neighborhood well known in this section, and John Porter, a negro laborer temporarily employed on the plantation of the former. Mr. Hall had reproved Porter , for the careless manner in which he : was performing a task assigned him and the negro, taking offense at Mr. j Hall's words, slipped to his home and secured a shotgun, and then lay in wait at a ginhouse on the place for Mr. Hall to appear. When Mr. Hall came up the negro took deliberate aim at him ^ and twice tried to fire the gun. Fortu- j nately the shells were old and did not explode, otherwise the negro probably would have had a charge of murder hanging over him. When the gun failed to fire, Porter took to his heels and Mr. Hall sent four bullets from his revolver after him, but with poor aim, and the negro escaped unhurt. Mr. Hall quickly swore out a warrant for Porter's arrest, but when the officers arrived to serve the warrant the negro j could not be found. Mr. Hall is a ' brother-in-law of Chief of Police V. D. j Potts, of Fort Mill, and has many friends here who are glad that he emerged from the difficulty unharmed. Newsy Items From Pineville. Pineville, N. C., June 29.?Contractor P. S. McManus, of Charlotte, has just completed the laying of the cement pavnig on Main street and there is expressed generally the opinion that the quality of the work is such that with ordinary usage it will stand for years. The one regret is that the finances of the town are limited and that the council can not at present see its way clear to have the walks on either side of the l street paved. The hope is expressed, j however?now that the work is begun | and an opportunity is afforded to com- [ : pare the difference in walking on cob- | blestones and cement?that a second \ t contract will ere long be awarded. The a present council is comj>osed of progress- j t ive business men and it is certain that i ] if any further improvement can be i made along this line during their term j"' of office they will grasp the oppor- j j tunny. ivir. w. i,ee i-'isher is intendant I g with Messrs. W. M. Morrow, J. P. ! \ Ardrey, J. VV. Jenkins and J. S. Mil- f ler wardens. Another evidence of an upward move- I t ment here is the earnest effort which ' ^ I is being made by a number of leading s citizens, assisted by financial interests I of Charlotte, to organize a bank, with *] every prospect of the effort being sue- s cessful. There is no kind of doubt that : a small bank in the hands of the men ( proposing the institution would pay i handsomely. Pineville is a splendid cotton market, there being annually sold * hero in the neighborhood of 2,000 bales. This is an incentive for the bank. Paradoxical as it may seem, the volume of i i business done here every year since the J J opening of the macadam road to Char- j , lotte has increased rather than dimin- i ished, as many predicted. For some time the congregation of ; j the Pineville Presbyterian church has been considering the erection of a new ( manse for their pastor, the Rev. Mr. 1 Bothwick. A considerable sum has , already been pledged for the building * but the inability to secure a desirable < , site in a residential neighborhood has I j thus fur held the matter in abeyance. Much disappointment is felt in this t ' i community over the inexplicable mis- 1 i carnage of justice in the failure of the ' i jury to convict Will Biggors for the , Hood murder in Charlotte some months ago. PineviUe came near furnishing t ( ! a juror in this celebrated case in the j person of Mr. Ed Costin, a salesman ( ! for the Morrow firm. Mr. Costin was , tentatively accepted as a juror, but the defense promptly objected to him when . 1 it was learnea that he was from I'inc- ' j ville. 1 Mr. J. E. Russell, the popular as- , sistant cashier of the Savjngs Bank of Fort Mill, and young daughter, came up from Fort Mill Saturday afternoon i and spent Sunday in town with relatives. ! The Rev. Mr. Hogan, a Baptist minis- i ! ter, has been elected superintendent of j the public school for the session of 1909- 10 Mrs. ,W. It. Bradford and littje 1 daughters, of Columbia, are on a visit to Mrs. Bradford's mother, Mrs. Fannie 1 Gulp. Little Miss Idelia Hayes, of Charlotte, is a guest at. the home of her uncle, Mr. T. 1*.
