The Charlotte News of Monday says that marriage license was issued there Monday morning to Mr. James Thomas Darnel! and Miss Ivlattie MeCullom, both cf whom reside near Fort Mill.

An accident to the machinery at (he Stewart-Springs ginnery Saturday, causing a shut-down of the plant, proved a great inconvenience to the many farmers who had brought their wagons of cot tea to the gin and were unable to get it on the market We will be compelled under the ruling of the postoffice department to drop all subscribers from our list who do not pay up. We do not want to drop any old friends and* we therefore hope j that all will come up and settle j and keep the paper going. During the past week a survey has been nr.de of the street in ? prallvillo preparaf vy to laying cement, and it is understood that ' he work of putting down the paving will commence at once. For t: 3 present only a portion of the ncrth side of the street will bv. paved. The enterprising firm of Mills & Young greets its friends and natrons this week with an his torical sketch entitled "The Growth of The Flag." The sketch, which appears in another column, is deeply interesting as well as containing valuable information, and every reader of The Times should look it up. Mr. Frank Huggins, who has been a fever patient at the Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte for several weeks, has sufficiently recovered to return to his borne here. Mr. Huggins is still very weak, but is daily gaining strength and it is hoped will have entirely recovered within a short time. The farmers of the county are taking advantage of the sunshine of these days to reap their peavine hay, which in recent years h is grown to be a big asset of ike farms, not only for its marketable value, but for its home consumption. The crop this year has suffered from the same causes as have produced scarcity in the other staple productions. Another of the town's landmarks ceased to exist Sunday when . he stroncr wind felled the hi- i.c tive just east of the . > S atnern passenger station. One ci ..13 older citizens was heard to remark thai, many rough and tumble fights had taken place 111;;'er and around this old oak during the period when barrooms were in operation in Fort Mill. Mr. Will Kimball, junior member of the firm of Kimball & Sons, owners of the new sale stable on Academy street, has been in the West for several days' buying stock for this market. Mr. Kimbrll expects to return to Fort Mill during the week and open his business. Besides dealing in live stock, the firm will carry a first-class line of buggies, wagons, harness, saddles, etc., and will be pleased to have their friends call and see them. A first-class jjwelry house whose advertisement appears in this issue of The Times is that of the Beach-Ihrie company of Rock Hill. This company has a splendidly selected stock of silverware. watches, jewelry, etc., and is desirous of securing a share of the trade in their line which goes from Fouf Mill to other communities. They devote particular attention to watch repairing, employing constantly two jouiv neyman watchmakers. A New York dispatch says new high records were made in a sensationally active and excited market Thursday with prices selling over $2 per bale over the closing figures of Wednesday night and more than $6.50 a bale above the low figures of last week. December contracts sold at 13.42 and May touched 13.51, closing at 13.39 and 13.48 respectively, with the 4-1. ~ 1 I!-. tunc ouuug ouu uic general iibi> showing a net advance of 36 to 41 points. Rev. Mr. Reave* Retig?. There was an extremely sad ending to the excellent sermon of Rev. Edw. S. Reaves at the Baptist church last Sunday evening. It will be recalled that mention was made in these columns several weeks ago that Mr. Reaves had received a call from the church of Honea Path and that he would probably accept the call. Members of the Fort Mill and Flint Hill churches of which he has been pastor for the past six years, had hoped and insijted that their pastor remain with them longer, but Mr. Reaves, after earnest thought, saw in the new field an opening for greater work in the upbuilding of God's kingdom on earth, and decided to accept the call. In tendering his resignation Mr. Reaves expressed most tenderly his love for the members of his congregation and the people of Fort Mill generally, and, with the announcement of his intention to sever his connection with the church, tears of regret sprang up in the eves of manv of his hearers. Mr. Reaves asked that his resignation be accepted to take effect by the middle of October and at a meeting of the church officers immediately following the service, the request was granted. The people of Fort Mill and surrounding country deepiy regret that Mr. Reaves and his excellent family are to move away, but coupled with this regret is the fond hope that in their new home they may meet with much happiness and prosperity. Of Interest to Parents. Luther Deas, a 12 year-old white boy of Rock Hill, was badly injured Saturday afternoon by a fall from a merry-go*pound. It seems that the boy was jumping on and off the machine 'stealing rides while it was in motion $nd that the last time he jumped on in some way he missed his footr ing and was thrown unqer machine and before it cpultj be stopped some part of |he machinery struck him in the side cutting a very severe ga?h and was thought at first had penetrated the lung. He wa? taken immediately to the Fen'nell infirmary, where Dr. W. W. Fennell examined and sewe^ up the wound, which he stated >vas quite a serious one but nqt necessary fatal. The Error of Their Way. In spite of the excellent pfice of cotton and the promising put. look for still better prices, a}} is not well in the camps of the farmers of this vicinity. fhere are many who, not knowing what the fall prices would be, in the early spring sold cptton for September and October delivery at a figure which is ppnsiderably lower than the prjpe of spot cotton now. Even as early as April and throughout May, June and July many farmers were anxious about the price of cotton during this fall and fearing that there would be a large crop made throughout the South, sola portions of their crop. The sales were made on the basis of I what futures were worth at that time. For instance if October futures were eleven cents in May farmers entered into a contract with exporters which stipulated that they should receive about 10.90 for so many bales to be delivered in October. Large amounts of cotton \yere sold as low as ten and eleven ' cents and the farmers must now fulfill their contracts although they will secure from two to three cents under the market price now. The dealers expect the farmers who sold for future delivery to come up promptly despite the fact that they will lose some money. It is stated that in a few instances farrr\ers who sold their entire crops for JUST RECEIVED?One car new Cotton Seed Hull* and on* car Cojton Seed Meal at Mills & Young's. 'P^one 12.

This year is apt to prove a lesson to those who are now In the future market. End of a Long and Useful Life. Mrs. Melvina Parks, wife of Fort Mill's oldest citizen, Mr. Joseph Parks, died at her home in this city Thursday morning at 3 o'clock, after illness of only one week. The fflneral was held at the home Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. Edw. S. Reaves conducting the serviee, after which the remains were laid away in the city cemetery, Mrs. Parks was 65 years of age and with her husband had made her home in thin nlnop for 20 years. Before her marriago to Mr. Parks 42 ? ~ _ . .?ue was Miss Stead man and was reared in the Steel Creek section of Mecklenburg county. She was the mother of ten children, the seven surviving having reached the age of maturity. Mrs. Parks was a life-long member of Flint Hill church. At all times and under all circumstances, she walked in the well beaten path of righteousness and when fully conscious that she was nearing the last of earth, appeared to be fully impressed with the idea that at the time eternity began and that the bright faith which had sustained her during those trying hours of suffering would only grow brighter and brighter as she journeyed toward the Infinite, and the final gloom of death be dispelled by the radiance of God's love. Death *f Mr. S. L Patter***. Pleasant Valley, Sept. 28. ? Another Patriarch has been called to his reward. On Friday morning the grim reaper. Death, visited our community and took from us our oldest and bestloved citizen. Mr. Samuel Lee Patterson for seventy-eight years had lived and labored in this community, and none can gainsay the fact that his life was a benediction to all with whom he came in contact. A man of hightoned Christian character, a generous heart, and a loving disposition, his influence for good in this community will be felt for many years to come. Mr. Patterson was thrice married, his first wife dying about 1858. Soon afterward he was married to Miss Jane Bailes, sister of the late J. P. Bailes, and for fifty years she was his companion in his joys and sorrows, but a little more than a year ago she preceded him to the heavenly home. Several months ago he was again married, this time to Mrs. Elizabeth Donohue, of Monroe, who survives him. Mr. Patterson was a Confederate veteran, serving Sllantly in the 60th North rolina Regiment. fie has been afflicted for a number of years with something like can* cer, but a few months ago the disease attacked him in its most malignant form and it was soon seen that there was no chance for his recovery. His remains were interred Saturday morning at Pleasant Hill church after services by his pastor, Rev. S. J. Bethea. Didn't Use Pntdu a Farce. Inasmuch as The Times was one of the papers which publichp/l fho itom rafornwl tft Kn. I iow, it feels duty bound to reproduce the following from Saturday's Lancaster News: "It has been published in one or more papers that in the recent preliminary hearing here in the case of young Broom, charged with criminal assault, the girl in j question testified that the defendant with revolver forced her to : get out of the buggy in which they were riding, which is incor-1 rect. Owing to the fact that the Eublic was excluded from the| earing, the only account of the proceedings obtainable at the time for publication was based on rumor. A few days afterward the stenographer from North Carolina who took down the testimony furnished the magistrate and the attorneys with a typewritten report of the evidence, which shows that the only reference made to a revolver was that such a weapon was seen lying in the buggy. Winthrop College opened today (Wednesday) with about 700 students within the big dormitories and the work of the different departments for the fall session will be gone into without further delay. The work on the dining room, which delayed the opening of the college for two weeks, has been about completed. Card of Thaaka.

A dispatch from Columbia says that the next move of the State in the alleged dispensary gt'aft trials will be the bringing up of the case against John Black, former member of the old State dispensary board of directors who is charged with accepting a bribe. When James S. Farnum, the "Heer King/' of Charleston, had been acquitted Saturday afternoon by a Rfrnland county jury on the char/e of bribery, it meant that thr State had lost a case which it J&d worked upon for years and nad spent thousands of dolla* s in gathering the network of evidence. It was a great de'eat, but Attorney Genera] r,yon and his associates say tb"* it will not deter them fr*?". prosecuting the others who ^te indicted to the fullest extent The reason for not bringing in a verdict of guilty in the Farnum case as given by several of the jurors was that they did not think that the money given by Farnum to Messrs. Wylie and Samuels had been given for the | purpose of corruption, but in the due course of business and that it did not seem right to convict on alleged evidence, when by the evidence of the witnesses themselves it was proved that they were the biggest grafters . of the entire lot.
