Through the papers of last Sunday it was learned that the Baptist church of Honea Path, in Anderson county, had extended a call to the Rev. Edvv. S. Reaves of the Fort Mill church. Mr. Reaves is at present off on a short vacation and it is therefore impossible to say what answer he will make the Honea Path church in response j to the call. From outside sources U is learned that the minister has the call under consideration and that there is a probability of! his accepting it. In the meantime Mr. Reaves' congregation and many friends in this section have hopes that after due consideration he will decide to remain with the Fort Mill and Flint Hill churches. Cotton Crop Badly Injured. For the past ten days this section has experienced a typical siege of mid-summer weather? ! hot and exceedingly dry?and as a natural consequence the crops have suffered greatly. Up to | the first week of August the out- ' i look for a cotton crop was anyj thing but good, but at that time seasonable weather prevailed for some days and the plants seemed to take on a new lease of life and ; there was a marked improvement generally. It was then that the finest crop in years was looked for, but a great change is now j noticeable. Reports from all sections are to the effect that the excessively hot weather of the past ten days has caused the crop to deteriorate rapidly and it is generally conceded that at' least 20 per cent of the crop has been cut off. Young corn has also suffered for rain during the past week or more. A New Road Drag. Township Supervisor Blankenship informs The Times that he has recently tried a new type of road drag on some of the roads I of upper Fort Mill and finds that, it is an excellent method of removing the bumps and shaping I the roads. The drag used is of i Mr. Blankenship's own idea and j construction. It consists of a square framework of heavy tim- , ber and to the bottom of each | of the cross sections is attached j a Steele blade, which comes in ! i contact with rough places and | reduces them to a smooth sur- ; face. The operation of the drag ! is similar to that of the ordinary j split-log drag, but the benefits i derived are said to far surpass [ that of the old method. It is i possible that the roads of the !' j entire township will in the near j future be gone over with the machine. Rural Carriers' Convention. According to a resolution J ' adopted at its meeting: at Sharon last May, The York County ! Rural Carriers' Association will ! hold its next meeting in Fort I Mill next Monday, the Gth. The , local carriers, three of whom are ; ! members of the association, are | j preparing to entertain the visij tors in royal style, and a very j i pleasant and profitable meeting ! is anticipated. The York association has a ! membership of about 30 and at I the meeting next Monday it is expected that this number will i be considerably increased. The ; meetings of the association are I very helpful to the members by I way of discussion of subjects i looking to the betterment of the ! service and suggestions of methi ods which facilitate the duties and render more satisfactory the work of the carriers. Fort Mill Won Close Game. Manager Ed. Merritt, of the | Fort Mill ball team came into j The Times office Monday morn- j ing to tell the reporter about a very elose game of ball between ' his team and Craig Fite's ag1 gregation on the Charlotte diamond Saturday afternoon. It ! will be remembered that this j same Charlotte bunch handed out defeat to the locals in a game ! played here two weeks ago. As j is natural with all teams, the J Fort Mill boys were therefore anxious to "get back" at Fite j and his crowd, and before eni gaging the Charlotteans Saturdap Manager Merritt had gotten together an exceptionally strong team. From the start the game ; was close and it was not known < until the finish which team would , . \ i-L ~ r* A wit i Lit? nit? victor. ron Mill won ' out, however, the score stand-J 1 ing 2 to 1. The real rub of the j game came in the ninth inning, ! when Charlotte came to the bat and it looked as if they were to score and tie the game, but Price, the Fort Mill pitcher, handled tha sphere in such a manner that the second Charlotte | batter "hit too high" for the! third time and was out. The 1 side was retired by Fielder Mc- i Kibben making one of the pret-' I tiest running catches of the sea-j : son on a hot liner to deep center. ! The Fort Mill boys returned home Sunday morning on train No. 29. , FARMERS 1 am making a specialty of Ceiling for tenant houses at $1.(V> 1 per hundred. V. R. Rlankenship. Jl- ?Concord Takes Firkt Game. The first of a series of ball | games between the Concord. ! N. C., and Fort Mill teams took ' place Tuesday on the local diaj mond and proved disastrous for the home team, the visitors winning hands down by a score of 4 to 2. The teams are to play the second game this (Wednesday) afternoon and tomorrow the closing game will be pulied off. The Fort Mill fans should flock to the ball ground and show their appreciation .of the good sport which has been provided for them. Sad Death at Pineville. A telephone message from Pineville early Sunday morning conveyed the sad intelligence of the death there of little Hannah Frances, the four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Garrison, whose death occurred at about 1 o'clock Sunday morning. The little one had been sick only since Saturday when she was stricken with diphtheria in its most malignant form. Little Frances was exceptionally bright and winsome and her sudden death caused a pall of sadness over the entire community. The funeral and interment took place at Flint Hill Monday afternoon. The little girl was a niece of Miss Minnie Garrison, a teacher in the Fort Mill graded school. Methodists Holding Great Revival. A revival meeting which is attracting great crowds nightly and in which there has been a great spiritual awakening in Fort Mill is that now in progress at the Methodist church. The meeting began last Saturday and it is understood will continue through the week. The pastor. Rev. S. J. Bethea, is being assisted in the meeting by Rev. J. H. Danner, an evangelist, whose sermons are highly praised by all who have heard him. Mr. Tillman Shealy of Leesville, S. C., is conducting the song services and his singing adds very materially to the success of the meeting. Services are held twice daily, at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m., and a cordial invitation is given the public in general to attend the meeting. Convict Shoots Convict. A Rock Hill dispatch of Saturday to the Charlotte Observer says that Roland Steele, a negro with several aliases, who was sent to the chaingang from this .place for larceny, was shot at the stockade, two miles south of this city, this morning by Mart Williams, another convict, and his chances are pretty slim for getting well, so the attending physician states. Steele had been on the sick list and this morning was left "on the rod." under the care of Williams, who is the cook for the gang. In some way Steele got loose and made a dash for liberty, but Williams happened to see him and grabbed a shotgun loaded with buckshot and called on Steele to stop, which he refused to do, and Williams fired the load, it taking effect in the back of Steele's head and one side. Williams is a "trusty" who has been on the gang for Bfimn timn nnot cunf m-v C?/mv. ^Vtnv Uiii^ jnioi, OU lit 11 y / LIUIU the Sharon section of this county for being implicated in the shooting of a negro preacher. The Hookworm. When Dr. Stiles discovered the hookworm, which saps the vitality of its victims, causing them to become languid, listless and no account, the wits dubbed it the germ of laziness, and many people got the idea that the disease was more or less fanciful. Not so. It is a terrible infection and its victims, embracing large numbers in certain sections of the South, never knew what was the matter with them. The disease is old enough but no one ever understood it before Dr. Stiles made his exhaustive study and discoveries. The hookworm is literally a worm. The egg from which it comes is spread in excrement from the human body and makes its way up from the feet. Hence the people of the low sandy regions who go barefoot much of the time are particularly susceptible to it. Its entrance into the feet causes "around itch." which is so prevalent in the low sandy sections. The worm fastens itself upon the intestines and vitiates the whole system. A cotton mill at Greenville has employed a regular physician to stamp out the disease among its employees.
