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

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.

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

future delivery will not make
enough of the staple to supply
their contracts and will be compelled
to buy the necessary
bales. 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.

Inasmuch as The Times was
one of the papers which publichp/l

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

for two weeks, has been
about completed.

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.

Paint NOW.
Now is the best season of the
year for house painting, while
the wood is dry and porous
and needs protection against
the storms or winter. See that
the materials are the best and
do not be indifferent about
the matter, for the little difference
in price is not worth
while in the case of a five or
ten year investment.
Specify DEVOE
to the painter and take no argument
to the contrary, for
there is none. Don't listen to
"just as good" in the matter
of paint where it costs as
much to apply as the material
costs.
If you are not particular about
the most expensive, we can sell
