South Carolina's first bale of 1909 crop cotton was sold in Barnwell Saturday. The bale weighed 455 pounds and graded good middling. Cotton is still selling for a good price and the indications are ; that the new crop will be sold at good prices if it is not rushed on the market too rapidly. j1 Mr. Zack Spratt, of Fort Mill, is here on a visit to the family of his uncle, Mr. B. M. Spratt, says the Chester Reporter of Monday. The Times is requested to state that there will be no preaching at the Presbyterian church until further notice. Sabbath school exercises will be held as usual. < Mrs. W. R. Carothers is ex- ! pected to return within a few days from Columbia, where, at one of the hospitals of that city, she recently underwent an operation.

Charleston, via Rock Hill and I Camden, the round trip fare from Rock Hill to be $2.75. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Spratt and children and Miss Bessie Rankin, I of Mount Holly, N.

Patterson, of ' Tennessee, has accepted an inviI Asr tafion to deliver an address at I 35 the unveiling of the King's ; Mountain monument on October 1 7. Judge Sam'l YV. McCall, of Boston, will also be a speaker upon the occasion. Watermelons are plentiful on the Fort Mill market at present, j but the quality of the melons is not as good as usual, due to the excessive rains of a few weeks ago. The melons are also small in size. The handsome new winter home of Hamilton Carharrt, the well known overall manufacturer, is nearing completion. The1 Carharrt home is located on the i. J ^ ~ -f a west. siue ui v^uutwua river near the site of the old Dinkins ferry, 3 miles from Fort Mill. In the published list of names of the young ladies who passed the examinations on July 2 and won scholarships at Winthrop college is found that of Miss May Coltharp, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Coltharp, of Gold Hill. The Fort Mill friends of Mr. T. M. Hughes, of Lancaster, will be interested to know that he has sold his interest in the Williams-Hughes Company and | will in the future devote himself to other business interests with : which he is identified in his} adopted city. ? Mrs. Beulah McManus, who has been ill of typhoid fever in j Rock Hill for several weeks, was' brought to the home of her i father. Mr. J. P. Crowuer, in lower Fort Mill the past week and is slowly recovering from the illness, Mrs. McManus' little 4-months-old daughter has been dangerously ill for several days and its recovery is doubted. Mr. J. D. Fulp, of Winnsboro, was among the out-of-town visitors who attended the union picnic here Wednesday. Arrangements have been perfected for the holding of the annual picnic at Brown's Shop, in Gold Hill, Friday. The public is invited to attend. Mr. S. L. Cojtharp, of Gold Hill, 'has the thanks of The Times force for a 30-pound watermelon brought to this office yesterday morning. Ml" nrul Mvo T M Pontfin and child, of McRee, are guests at the home of Mr. A. R. McElhaney. Mr. Beattie is the manager of a large mercantile establishment in his home city. The local german club has issued attractive invitations to a dance to be given in the town hall this (Wednesday) evening. Johnson's orchestra, of Rock H'.i, will furnish music for the dance. A 'phone message early Sunday morning from Steele Creek conveyed the intelligence of the death there Saturday of Miss Alethea Neely, the 16-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Neely. Miss Neely had been ill; of typhoid fever for several j weeks and her death was not; unexpected. The funeral was; held at Steel Creek church Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock and the burial made in the church, yard. The public roads of Fort Mill j township are at present receiving a thorough working under the four supervisors appointed under provisions of the recently enacted Stewart road law. The work is progressing slowly, however, on account of a lack of labor-saving road machinery. The Times man was in lower Fort Mill a fewdays ago and noted with pleasure the great improvement which has been made recently to the Doby's ! bridge road under the direction | of Supervisor D. G. Kimbrell. The road has been nicely shaped up, the ditches well cleaned, and aside from the convenience to travel, the improvement in appearance is quite noticeable. Cotton Mills to Close. The announcement has just; been made that for two weeks, beginning on the 14th of this month and continuing until Wednesday, Sept. 1st, both the cotton mills in this place will be i closed down. It is stated that the purpose of the shut-down is ! to afford the unhampered op- i portunity of installing a lot of new machinery which is expected to arrive within the next week. The new machinery which is to be installed will include a complete dyeing outfit to replace the somewhat antiquated and more or less unsatisfactory system now in use. A number of new cards will also be placed in position at the old mill, where all the work will be done. The Mi 11 fort mill is dependent upon the old mill for all the dyed cotton which it uses and this fact necessitates the closing of the Millfort. When work is resumed of fUo ?:n- - - o.? i i * hi, niv: nuns 011 oepx. xst an entirely different quality of cloth is to be made, the change being from-the present light quality of ginghams to a heavier quality, in the manufacture of which it is the purpose to use fadeless 1 dyes. It is not thought that any considerable number of the employees of the mills will move to I other mills during the shut-down. 1 Concrete Paving Progressing. Since the rains of last week work on the concrete paving on Booth street has been moving along steadily and when the paving is completed it will extend from a few feet below the intersection of Main and Booth streets to the corner of Booth and Forest streets, making a continious concrete pavement for wellnigh three-eights of a mile. One property owner on Booth street has agreed to contribute less to the building of the pavement than has the other property owners on the street, but a number of public-spirited gentlemen have given the amount necessary to insure the paving j in front of the premises and the work will be done at once. Mayor Harris is giving the work his personal attention and is to be commended for the thorough manner in whirh he insiwt-s th;>t the paving be done. The work on the north end of Booth street beyond Main has been completed and adds materially to the comfort of the pedestrians in that locality, besides adding to the aesthetic appearance of the street. It is said that the south side of Main street will be paved as soon as the work on Booth street is finished, and that work will then be begun on Confederate street.

Mack, of New York city, who is spending a few days with his sisters. Mrs. \V. B. Ardrey and Mrs. Lizzie Belk, after a visit to his little son, who lives with his grandparents. Rev. Dr. and Mrs. J..B.

American Law Book company, j Twenty-odd years ago Col. Mack ; left his home in this place and I went to San Fransisco for the practice of the law and while residing in that city published "Mack's Digest of the Law," in several volumes, which is considered a legal authority throughout the country. The Union Picnic. A.. T: x i-vo i nc x niicrt guvs ^ press this (Wednesday) afternoon the annual picnic of the citizens of Fort Mill and surrounding country is in progress in the grove near the graded school. The day is an ideal one for a picnic and people are present from all the surrounding country districts and nearby towns. The usual athletic contests are proving a source of much amusement to all. The Carharrt band arrived on the morning train from Rock Hill and is furnishing music for the crowd. This afternoon the j Fort Mill and Charlotte teams , will cross bats on the local diamond, and the game gives promise of being one of the best played here this season. Tonight, as stated elsewhere, a dance is to be given by the local dance club in the town hall, and this feature of the day's entertainment promises to eclipse all such former events. Militiamen Return. After an absence of ten days' at the encampment of the First; regiment, S. C. N. G., in Greenville, the members of the Fort Mill Light Infantry returned Thursday afternoon. The en-1 campment is pronounced by I members of the company the; best the regiment has had since it became the policy of the government several years ago to order out the National Guard regiments for annual held work. The regiment is said to have presented an unusually creditable} appearance on the dress parade 1 which was reviewed by Governor j Ansel and stall Wednesday afternoon, and the statement of an army officer who witnessed the i parade and the prior work of the ! regiment during the encampment that the regiment is the most efficient of the three State regiments was gratifying to officers and men alike. The First regiment, according to this officer, i is one of the few reenmpnts in O ? - . vw " the South which has undertaken the manoeuvres in which the national government is most interested. Tragedy at Black Mountain, N. C. Dr. J. L. Spratt returned Monday morning from Black Mountain, N. C., where a tragedy occurred Saturday morning which cost the life of a man named John Hill Bunting and resulted in the serious wounding of Cameron Collins, cashier of the Hillsboro bank, at the Gladstone i hotel. The two men were shot! by the Black Mountain police! officer while in bed at the hotel, j Bunting and Collins were using bad language in their room and the proprietor of the hotel sent for the officer to quiet them. The officer seems to have become panic stricken when he entered the room and began firing his pistol promiscuously. Dr. Spratt savs that an air of mystery surrounds the shooting, i as little was known on the streets of Black Mountain of the tragedy until late Saturday afternoon, | though the shooting took place about 1 o'clock Saturday morning. For a Permanent Encampment Place. Local militiamen are much concerned over a report from Co- I lumbia that a strong movement is on foot there to have that city named as the permanent camping place for the national guard of the State, and to have all the regiments there at one time for 20 days, instead of 10 days, as is the Inncrtli ef tVio nfaoonf <->- vity |/? vocut 1111.41" 1 vidual encampments. It is not thought possible that, the proposed change can be brought about in time to have the 2.500 soldiers of the State in Columbia next summer, as it is considered practically a certainty that the three regiments will encamp outside the State another year, but, if the thing can be worked out to a successful conclusion at all, there is no reason why it cannot he fully ar 1 ranged for two years hence, j There is strong and well| grounded opposition among the enlisted men and officers of the State to Columbia as the perm a: nent emcampment point, and it is doubtful if this opposition can [ be overcome. Remarkable Recovery From Diptheria. (Frcm The Stat* vf Tuesday.) Fort Mill, Aug-, 9.-A remark- , able case of apparent recovery from a severe case of diptheria ( has just occurred in this place, ] Friday night the four-year-old daughter of Walker Lynn, a res- | ident of Fort Mill, was taken ill , at Gastonia, N. C. The parents 1 removed the child from Gastonia to Clove, this county, Friday j j night, without knowing the na-. ( | ture of the child's illness. At 12 o'clock Saturday a phy- { | sician was called in to attend the , I child and pronounced the case t diptheria. The same physician vis'ted the child again Sunday i | morning and injected 3,000 units r I of diptheretic anti-toxin. Then * ' the parents of the child became : frightened as to its condition and t against the advice of the physi- j cian and unmindful of the great shock to which the child would i be subjected, drove through the 1 I r /"<i x in _ . ?.-i. * I v;uuuii'jr Hum v^iuvur iu r ore lviiii, ? i a distance of 25 miles, with the : little one in a buggy. This was 1 in face of the fact diptheria is ? considered one of the most con-! tagious and fatal diseases known f to medical science. s When the child reached Fort ; Mill Dr. T. S. Kirkpatrick was I 1 immediately called in ami lost no time in injecting 4,000 more ~ units of diptheretic anti-toxin. l The child is apparently on the J road to recovery. Meanwhile, however, no placard is in evidence on the outer walls of the Lynn house to warn an unsuspecting public of the contagious i disease within. ? Lancaster Farmer's Horrible Death. A dispatch to the Charlotte ] Observer says that Mr. A. C. Floe, who lived on the farm of " Ira B. Jones, three miles east of Lancaster, met with a horrible death Monday afternoon. He;' had just finished his day's work and was returning from the field "to his home, when a negro passed riding a bicycle which frightened the nuile Mr. Floe ' was riding. He was thrown and i his ankle became entangled in ? the trace-chains and he was dragged some distance to his home and around the yard and barn lot in the presence of his ( family who were unable to stop the frightened animal until his ; head and body were badly torn and bruised. When he was res- j cued life was almost extinct and 1 he died before he could be car- j riod into the house. Gastonia Lands Courthouse. In an election held Thursday in Gaston county, N. C,, to do-! cide whether the new court T house to be erected by that county | should be located at Dallas, the j cnmifv cuot /-?? nt fine I wuiii j vi at viarttonia, the latter city won out by ' a majority of about 600 votes. I According to newspaper reports n the contest just closed in Gaston ? was one of the bitterest ever j held in that county. Both towns offered exceptional inducements for the court house, Gastonia's cash offering amounting to some j $43,000. The city of Gastonia has for several years worked for the court house and it was only ! a few years ago that she was de- j feated in the removal proposition J by a vote of less than 100. The public generally will doubtless be I pleased that Gastonia is to be the ! county seat of Gaston. Condition of the Cotton Crop. The New Orleans Times-Demo- ; crat is the one newspaper in the South whose reports on the con- ] dition of the cotton crop are pre- j pared with painstaking care. : What The Times-Democrat says ; of the crop outlook for the year , is, therefore, of peculiar interest, at this time. In its issue of Mon-: day The Times-Democrat says: In Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee , I improvement has been the rule. ! North Carolina as a whole shows no complete change, but there has been a distinct loss in South Carolina, In Texas and Okla- ^ homa there has been a sharp j deterioration and the situation is critical. There is complaint ? of boll weevil in some districts, p but the damage cannot be esti- 1 mated at this time. The crop is c very spotted and is peculiarly subject to unfavorable con- ^ ditions. iiN j Boll Weevil at Blacksburg? j f If the report sent out from . p Blacksburg Saturday is true, the much dreaded boll weevil is on the border of York county. A farmer living near Blacksburg went to town Saturday with a ; i number of small black bugs in a ' bottle which lie said were destroying cotton bolls in his field. | It was the general opinion of all who saw the bugs that they were : 1 the boll weevil. The farmer who brought in the bugs says that he found the bugs on not more than a half-acre of cotton, and that they cut into the boll, and the! boll soon falls off. The Times has several hundred 1 ; old newspapers which it will sell i | cheap. j , Boy Shocked by Lightning.
