2 f AND HEARTS ? _ I Mrs. W. B. Steele is seriously ill at her home on east Booth street. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Meacham has -been seriously ill for several days. The two cotton mills in this place resumed operations Monday after a suspension of two weeks. Miss Bertha Hinshaw arrived Saturday from Winston, N. C., and will again be in charge of Meacham & Epps* millinery department. The ruling price for cotton on the Fort Mill market yesterday, as furnished by Mills & ?oung, was 121-4 cents. Cotton seed, 27 cents. Mr. L. J. Massey left Saturday night for Baltimore and New York, where he will purchase the fall andv^^gj^iock of goods for his d?p8ronent sstore in this place. The Times learns with regret that the condition of Mr. W. J. i Stewart, who has been ill of fever for some weeks, is not as promising as it was up to a few days ago. An infant of Mr. and Mrs. Graham - Wagner, which died Friday at Concord, N. C., was brought to this place on the morning train Satuaday and the remains interred in the city cemetery. The new firm of Stewart and 4- V* At/Iaamo f A UA V>uip 1CU tllCU UWiO LU II1C public Tuesday morning. The firm occupies one of the Massey storerooms and carries a select1 line of heavy and fancy grocer- j ies. See announcement else-1 where. Mr. R. D Jones, a well known i mill man of Concord, N. C.t was a visitor to Fort Mill Saturday. Mr. Jones recently resigned his : position with the Brown Mill, of Concord, to accept the superin- i tendency of the Cowiker Mills, j of Eufauia, Ala. The government cotton report' indicates a very short crop. Ac- | cording to thi3 report the condi-; tion of cotton on August 25th was 63.7 per cent of the normal, i as compared with 76.1 per cent: on August 25, 1908; 72.7 on Aug- ! ust 25, 1907, and 73.6, the aver-1 age of the past ten years on August 25. Thanks to the energy of a number of negro children who are in search of stove wood rather than endeavoring to improve the appearance of Booth street, a considerable portion of the debris which was dumped on tliat street some weeks ago is being removed. Mr. C. H. Branson and family, w ho have been spending several i.L . * ? AL . * _ - ? 1 monins in me mountains 01 | western North Carolina, returned to Fort Mill Tuesday and will again make their home here. It is pleasing to note that Mr. Branson's health is much improved as a result of his sojourn in the mountains. At a meeting of the sessions of the Jennings Chapel and White Memorial churches of Rock Hill Sunday a call was extended to Rev. Hugh H. Hudson, of Gordonsville, Va. Rev. John Knox Coit was formerly pastor of the two churehes to which Rev. Mr. Hudson has been called. The first bale of 1909 cotton sold on the local market was brought in Saturday from the plantation of Mr. V. B. Blanken- | shif in upper Fort Mill. The bale weighed 508 pounds and j was bought by Mills & Young for 121-4 cents. Mr. J. H. McMurray, of the township, also marketed a bale of new crop cotton at the same price. The regular September meeting at the Fort Mill Presbyterian churth will begin tomorrow mnrninor at 11 n'r?lru?lr and continue through Sunday. The pastor, Mr. Hafner, will be assisted in the meeting by Rev. Mr. Swann, of Bowling Green, this county. As is customary, the communion service will be held Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The public in genera! is invited to attend these services. Mr. Wm. Boyd, of upper Fort Mill, was the victim of a very painful accident at Flint Hill c hurch last Sunday. Mr. Boyd had arrived on the church grounds and was unhitching his mule when the animal became brightened and inflicted a number of severe scars and bruises on" its owner, Dr. Hood of PineviileHttended Mr: *Boyti and* he is recovering from his injuries, The annual fall meeting at the 1 Fort Mill Baptist church will be- j gin next Sunday morning and will continue through next week. J The pastor, Mr. Reaves, will be assisted by Rev. W. L. Walker, j the well known evangelist of ! Atlanta. The public is cordially invited to attend the services. The forty-first annual session of the York BaDtist Association j of which Rev. Edw. S. Reaves, j | of Fort Mill, is the moderator, ; convened Tuesday with Flint j I Hill church in the upper part of this township. A large number I of delegates and visitors from I over the county are in attendance and much interest centers in the meeting. The Times hopes to have an account of the proceedings for publication next week. The last two of the series of ball games played Wednesday and Thursday afternoons of last week between the Concord, N. C., and Fort Mill teams were won by the " latter, the scores being 4 to 1 on Wednesday and 6 to 5 on Thursday. These are in all probability the last games of the season on the local diamond, the team having disbanded it is understood. The Fort Mill team has a record of having played twenty-odd games this season and has been defeated but twice. Rev, S. J. Bethea requests The Times to correct a statement made from his pulpit Sunday night to the effect that services would not be held at his church next Sunday morning, and instead to state that the services will be held as usual at 11 o'clock. The public is invited to attend the service. Those who joined the church in the recent meeting will be received into full connection at the service next Sunday morning. Mr. J. D.

Last Wednesday afternoon Eugene Hairis, a young negro of the town, nad his left leg broken while operating one of the hoisting machines of the Charlotte Brick Company at Grattan. The negro had been employed at the machine for several months and being familiar with the work is thought to have, risked too far and become entangled in the big drum. Besides the broken leg Harris sustained a severe cut in his head. The negro was brought to his home here for medical attention. New Home for Mr. Carothers. Mr. Nile L. Carothers the past week awarded to Contractor A. A.

A regular procession of wagon teams, about twenty-lfive in all, belonging to Stewart & Jones, of Rock Hill, passed through Fort Mill late tYiday afternoon, and the dust raised by the long string of wagons as they passed up the streets made life anything but pleasant for a few minutes. The teams were en route to Kannapolis, N. C., where the owners have a contract for five miles of grading on the Southern's double tracking work. . The contract awarded Stewart & Jones is to be comr pleted in ninety days. York's Rural Carriers Meet, About fifteen of the members of the York County Rural Mail Carriers' Association assembled in the Masonic hall in this city , Monday for the semi-annual i meeting of the association. The attendance doubtless would have J been larger except for the very | poor railroad schedules from several points in the county. The meeting was called to order by President J. M. Smith, of Clover, and after the transaction of a small amount of routine business, Mr. J. W. Ardrey upon invitation delivered the address ofwelcemeina highly pleasing' and eloquent manner. The address was responded to by Mr. T. G. Matthews, of Clover. The delegates and visitors were entertained at the Palmetto Hotel, the dining room of which had 1 been appropriately decorated for the occasion with United States ; fiags. The day was most pleasantly spent by all. The next meeting of the association is to be held at Yorkville on May 30, 1910. Cecil Broom Captured in Atlanta. Cecil Broom, the young business man of Waxhaw, N. C.f who is charged with criminally assaulting a young lady in the Van Wyck section of Lancaster county on July 23 and who fled ; the country afterwards, was arrested in Atlanta Wednesday at! the instance of Sheriff J. P. i *T i 11 1 f nunier, wno nas Deen maeiatigable in his efforts to catch this man, spending over $200 in employing detectives, in traveling expenses, telegraphing, etc. Under the assumed name of W. C. Jenkins, Broom has been traced by the sheriff in several cities, among them Charleston and Savannah, and was finally located Wednesday morning in Atlanta. The chief of police of ; that city wired that the young man would return without requisition papers. Sheriff Hunter, of Lancaster, went to Atlanta after Broom Wednesday night, returning with his prisoner Thursday night. Broom is now in Lancaster jail. Mr. Broom says there is positively no foundation for the crime charged, all of which will be shown up later, and that counsel will make application for bail at once.

To the present generation of youngsters this peculiar product of the old South is unknown. So much worse for them, in some respects at least. But the children of older growth, whose stooped shoulders and silvered locks are beginning co ceu 01 aucumn clays, Knew well the old black mammy and whenever they recall her dusky image to mind there gathers a moisture in the eyes and a lump is felt in the throat. The stories which she could tell?the songs which she could sing?their very names were legion. She was childhood's best friend in the old days which will come no more. But no higher eulogium was ever paid to the old black mammy or to the race which produced her than was framed in the eloauent speech of Henry Grady at the Boston banquet in 1889; and at the present time, when so much is being said of the South's hostility toward the negro, it will be well to reproduce this utterance of one to the manner born. Said Mr. Grady: "The love we feel for that race you can neither measure nor comprehend. As I attest it here, the spirit of my old black mammy from her home up there looks down to bless me, and through the tumult of this night steals the sweet music of ner | croonings as 30 years ago she : held me in her black arms and , led me smiling into sleep. "This scene vanishes as I speak, and I catch a vision of an , old Southern home, with its lofty pillars and its white pigeons fluttering down through the golden air. I see women with strained and anxious faces and children alert yet helpless. I see night come down with its dangers and its apprehensions, and in a big lonely home I feel on my tired brow the touch of loving hands, now worn and wrinkled, but fairer to me than the hands of mortal woman and stronger yet to lead me than the ; hands of mortal men; and as: they lay a mother's blessing' there while at her knees?the truest altar I have ever known? j I thank God that she is safe in ! her sanctuary, because her | slaves, sentinel in the silent cabin or trnard nf i? ham hoi*! door, put a black man's ioyalty between her and danger. "But I catch another vision. The crisis of battle?a soldier struck staggering, falls. I see the slave, scuffling through the smoke, winding his black arms about the fallen form, reckless of the hurtling death, bending his trusty face to catch the words that tremble on the stricken lips, so wrestling meanwhile with agony that he would lay down his life in his master's stead. I see him by the weary bedside, ministering with uncomplaining patience, praying with all his humble heart, until death comes in mercy and in honor to still the soldier's agony and seal the soldier's life. I see him by the open grave, mute, motionless, uncovered; suffering for the death of him who in life fought against his freedom. I see him when the mound is heaped and the great drama of ; his life is closed turn away, and with downcast eyes and uncer-; tain steps, start out into new and strange fields, faltering, struggling, but moving on until his stumbling figure is lost in the light of a better and brighter day. And from the grave comes a voice saving Follow him! Put your arms about him in his need, ! even as he puts his about me. I Ro Vita ^^ -----~ ?
