A crowd of seven young white men, employes of the Millfort mill, were caught early Sunday morning in one of the mill houses while engaged in a game of cards. The players were fined $5 each, while the occupant of the house was made to pay $10. Chief Potts bagged the gang. ? Mr. J. H. McMurrav left -?

The meeting began Monday night and will continue through Friday. The summer term of the court of general sessions for York county convened Monday morning with Judge Meminger presiding* The docket is unusually heavy for the term and it is expected tfiat the greater part of the week will be consumed in disposing of it. As a venire of f/*v niilu /\n< JlllWIO ?? VI V \?l ! >? ? VIIV week it is not expected that any of the common pleas cases will be reached. Mr. A. H. Merritt, Sr., oi upper Fort Mill, brought to lhi> office Saturday a bunch of ript strawberries picked from a field near his home by his granddaughter, littie Miss Eunice Capps. The berries, a half dozei or more, were full-sized and were about as late in the season a* any we have ever heard of. ?

' ?Peter Howie, an industrious colored farmer of lower Fort MilJ, lost his home and household effects by fire Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Howie and his family had left the house Sunday morning to attend church anil there was 110 one in the house when, the fire broke out. As soon as the fire was discovered [ colored people of the vicinity | rushed to the house with the ; hope of saving at least a part of 1 the furnishings, but were unable 1 to do anything as the roof was , falling when the first person arrived. The house was owned by Mr. T. M. Hughes, of Lancaster. ?Through misinformation The ! Times of last Thursday was mistaken as to the amount of cost to property owners for the cement i paving which is to be put down on the several streets of the town. It was stated that the cost to those along whose preniis| es the paving will be put down would be one-third of the total when it should have been onehalf by the residents and oneI 1 11* 1 iL . i. ml m ? nan uy ine town. ire actual cost to property owners will be i about 50 cents per square yard. The cement walks will be 5 feet in width and to find the cost for any piece of work, get the lot ; frontage in yards and multiply this by 831-0 cents. -The town of Pineville in : North Carolina, just across th^ I fine from Fort Mill was considera; bly stirred up Sunday over a : crime which occurred in that Elace Saturday night when a urglar broke into the home of a well known lady. The first that was known of the presence , in the house of the burglar was when the lady awoke and saw him in her bedroom. She screamed and the burglar ran from the room, but not before t the lady was able to see that he was a white man. Every effort is being made to find the man. In North Carolina housebreaking in the night-time is a capital offense. It is not known what was secured by the burglar. ? One of the best played and most interesting games of ball i on the local diamond this season j was that of Saturday afternoon, the 3rd, between the Fort Mill team and a team from the Arcade mill of liock Hill. With the ! score in the ninth inning 3 to 2 1 in Port Mill's favor, and with Arcade runners on 1st and 3rd, it looneu as 11 me visitors were J to tie if not defeat the locals, and doubtless would but for a clever piece of hcadwork on the part of Catcher Ferguson of the locals. The runner on 1st went to 2nd on the first hall, and Ferguson, I instead of throwing to 2nd, in an attempt to catch the man, staved the sphere to the pitcher, t This fooled the runner on 3rd : and he was easily blocked out at home. The final score was 3 to 2 in favor of Fort Mill. L. J. Massey's Store Burglarized. The first burglary in Fort Mill for a number of years occurred Saturday morning between 3 ' o'clock and day, when thieves broke into the department store of Mr. L. J. Massey, on Trade street. Entrance to the building was elfected through one of the front windows, a large plate glass having been broken for the purpose. Mr. Massey carries a line of jewelry and a show case containing watches, chains, rings, etc., was relieved of its contents by the burglars. In this case were about a dozen watches, a like number of chains and a large lot of rings, the total value of which was estimated to be $150. The cash register on the opposite side of the room J containing more than a dollar in change, which had been left open Saturday night, wasjunniolested. In their haste to get out of the building several rings were dropped on the lloor and these were recovered. A watch chain was also found in the street near the : bank Saturday morning. Mr. Massey estimates his loss at $175, counting $25 for the plate glass that was shattered, i There is no clew as to who i committed the crime, but it is be' | licved that a white man, a stranger, who was seen on the 1 street at a late hour Saturday night and who had disappeared ' Sunday morning, is the guilty , party. The authorities of the nearby towns have been asked to look out for suspects and it ir believed that the thief or thieves ; will be apprehended. I ! D- M- f 11 J i ivcv. mr. vurus nonoreu.

Bethea's sermon on i "Intemperance" Sunday afternoon was one of the strongest presentations of the subject ever heard in this community. Most of our farmej*s who have been holding their cotton for higher prices have disposed of it since the recent rise, but a few who have an insatiable desire for the coin of the realm are foolishly waiting for higher prices. News Notes From Gold Hill. I Gald Hill. July 12.-"Presi-j dent Gomez," a little son of Mr. Dave Gibson, has been quite sick for some time. He was treated ; by Pill Toter Elliott and is better | at this writing. His elder brother "Admiral Togo" would get awfully tired and hungry when ! he was called on to rock the cradle. The contest between the farmers and crab grass has been long, j hard, hot and heavy, and the \ battle is not yet ended but some j few have their crops in fairly good condition and ere long they , will be lying in the shade eating ; melons and being serenaded by ' the dry weather fly and the mocking bird. i We have but few apples this i year, and will have no cider, and I you know other liquids are a long I U'liu nucr tlu> t .in*/l.ii* Crop prospects have improved some of late, and there is some line fields of both corn and cotton. S. L. Coltharp has the , ! finest field of corn we have saw up to this time. A liberal i amount of fertilizer has been ' applied to this field and six trips to the row was made in the cultivation, and if the seasons are good from now on it will make a i fine yield. Mrs. Lillie Anderson, of Plant . City, Fla., and her sister, Mrs. : Beulah Wilson, of Bishopville, 1 S. 0., are visiting their father, i S. C. Paris of Gohf Hill.

Splinter. The Southern's Busy Season. The Southern railway, according to an official statement, has handled five times its usual 1 amount of perishable goods since January 1. It has shipped since 1 then between 2,800 and 8,000 ; solid carloads of perishables, including watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers and lettuce I from Georgia, Florida and South I Carolina. 1 he truck business begins early in January with the Florida crop. When this gives out the , south Georgia crop is ready for shipment. Then comes the produce from the truck farms of South Carolina, and it is this crop which the Southern road is now busy handling. | Since July 3 from 7.r> to 100 ! solid carloads of watermelons and cant elopes from the Black,' ville truck farms and from as * far down as Hardeeville have ' been rushed north. Last week the total shipment reached 400 cars, most of which went to Northern markets. In spite of this fact, it is possible that the South Carolina truck crop is a little off, although there has been a considerable increase in the acreage since last year. Ex. !
