Has Call From Honea Path.
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. !

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

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.
