lost his home and household effects

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

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.

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.
