Short Items of }.oc&I Interest. The ruling pripe for cotton on this market today '(Wednesday) was 14 .cents. Miss Beulah Hoagland, of Charlotte, spent Sunday at the home of her parents in this city. Report has it that some of the hunters of the township are already killing: partridires. although the season does not open until November 15. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Fulp returned to Winnsboro Saturday morning after spending several days at the home of the former's mother in this cJty. The closing of seven big cotton mills in the vicinity of Spartanburg the past week has been the cause of no little discussion among the mill workers here. Mr. W. O. Kimball, who visited Rock Hill Monday, reported that the buyers in that city were paying 44 cents per bushel for cotton seed. There is said to be a seed war on between the buyers of Reck Hill, hence the high prices. The remains of the late John Q. Cousart, which were interred at Fleasant Hill several months ago, were taken up the past week and reinterred iti the cemetery at this place. The Woodmen of the World will at an early day erect a handsome monument at the grave of Mr. Cousart. Fort Mill people will be interested to know that the Belmont hotel at Chester, conducted by Mr. N. P. Johnston who was reared in Fort Mill, was destroyed by fire Sunday night. Mr. Johnston and family narrowly escaped from the burning building. The model home at Winthrop college bids fair to be one of its most important departments. Miss Carrie Hyde, of Georgia, has it in charge. In this department the girls are taught practical and useful household arts, and it is proving a valuable feature. At its meeting in Charleston Monday, the South Carolina Synod granted the release of Rev. R. G. McLees, general evangelist of the Synod, in order that ' - he might accept a call to Chatham, Va. Friends of Mr. McLees throughout the State will regret to learn that he has decided to move to Virginia. Mr. Marion B. Jennings, junior member of the law firm of Finley & Jennings, of Yorkville, was married Sunday night to Mrs. Emma H. Beard, the ceremony being performed by Rev. O. M. Abney, of the Methodist church. Mr. and Mrs. Jennings, it is said, will at an early dute move to Spartanburg. Beginning with next Wednesday, the Southern Railway will operate a special train between Charlotte and Columbia on account of the State fair in the latter city. The train is scheduled to leave Charlotte at 5:10 a. ni. pass Fort Mill at 5:41 and arrive at Columbia at 9:00 a. m. Returning the train will leave Columbia at G:30 p. m. The round trip rate from Fort Mill will be $3.85, including a ticket to the fair grounds. With a view of shortening the distance between Fort Mill and Rock Hill by several miles, a petition will in all probability be presented to the board of commissioners at their meeting next week asking that a public road be opened from the county bridge over Catawba river down to the new road recently graded by Messrs. Cherry and Whitncr, from their river places out to Rock Hill. It is claimed that the opening of this link of road would shorten the distance from this place to Rock Hill by two miles or more and would give a splendid road from the bridge to Rock Hill. The work of remodeling York jail and the placing of steel cells therein was completed the past week and the prisoners who have been in Chester jail during the progress of the work are again under the care of Sheriff Brown. The jail has eight steel cages with solid steel floors and ceilings, and gratings on the sides. There are two corridors, and they are operated by levers from the outside, so that one or more or all can be opened at the same time. The entire upper floor of the jail is laid with concrete, anu the plumbing and sanitary arrangements are of the best. rif* * ? Citizens of Rock Hill are bestirring themselves in a movement to erect a public bridge across Catawba river near van Wyck, connecting York and Lancaster counties. At a meeting of the chamber of commerce of I-Lock 11 ill a few nights ago a committee was appointed to get up plans for building a system of good roads in that section of the county near the site of the proposed bridge and a fund was set aside to defray the expense of the work. It is probable that a petition willl be presented at the next meeting of the county commissioners asking that the bridge be built. Young Whitesell Loses a Foot. Mr. W. E. Whitesell, of this city, on Sunday morning received a telegram from Spartanburg announcing that his son, Ernest, had suffered the loss of hia left foot in a railroad accident in that city late Saturday afternoon. The telegram gave no particulars as to how the young man was injured, but according to a later report lie was performing his duties as flagman on a Southern freight train when the accident occurred. He was taken to a hospital in Spartanburg and there the amputation was made. Young Whitesell had been flagging on the Southern only a short time, having resigned his position as clerk in the I local freight ofticc only a few weeks ago to accept a position "on the road." Tne young man nad a strong ambition for railroading and it is indeed unfortunate that his hopes have thus been blighted. Mr. W. E. Weitcaell, who went to Spartanburg Sunday, states that his son is doing as well as could be expected. New Store for Fort Mill. , Mr. P. H. Stallings, a resident of New Brookland, a suburb of Columbia, has decided to enter the merchantile business In Fort Mill and will open his stock of goods with the beginning of the new vear. Mr. Stallings has !>een merchandising for a number of years and is at present conducting a business at New Brookland, In his store here Mr. Stallings, we are told, will carry everything in the line of general merchandise, making a specialty or gents' clothing and millinery. A handsome new store room is in course of construction for the business on one of the Massey lots on Main street and this will be completed in time for opening with the advent of the new year. The building, which is being erected by Contractor A. A. Bradford, is to cost $2,500. It will be 25 feet in width by 75 feet in length and will be finished both inside and out in the latest 6tyle. mT T"-* % * Mr. McGregor's Father Dead. Mr. J. W. McGregor, a prominent citizen of Lilesvilie, N. C., and father of Mr. Jas. T. McGregor of this city, died Monday evening at 6 o'clock at the Charlotte sanitarium after an illness that has extended over the past six months, the immediate cause of his death being uraemia. The deceased had been at the sanitorium for nearly a month, coming up from his home at Lilesvilie for an examination. The physicians advised an operation, but he never regained strength to bear the strain. His trouble ran into uraemia several days ago andhis family was advised that the end was only a matter of a short while. Mr. McGregor was 68 years of age and was an influential citizen of Liles; ville, having at one time been sheriff of Anson county. He was popular all over the county and nun.oered many friends among the people of his section. The body was taken to his late home on an early train Tuesday and the burial was made at Lilesvilie. Fanners Content With Present Prices. The price which cotton is now bringi ir.g is enriching to the farmers but hard on the manufacturers and it looks as if the wheels of many mills would stop I turning for a while or until a time i when the price of the finished material > runs up to that point where the manu facturers can make a fair profit on j their investments. The farmers in the main are well ; content with the mark to which cotton has gone within recent days, but some j are expecting the goal of their ami bitions to be reached in the course of a few weeks at best. Fifteen cents is considered the high mark for the product ; and the continued strength of the market coupled with the continued reports ; of poor crops indicates to the minds of i the producers that 15 cents will be j offered soon. Burglars Again Visit Van Wyck. The store of the Massey-Hyatt company at Van Wyck, a village just ever the Lancaster county line from this Elace, was the scene of an attempted urglary Sunday morning about 2 o'clock. The would-bc thief was trying to effect an entrance throuch a back j window when he was fired upon by a ' party concealed on the inside, but the shot went wild nnd the unknown party made his escape. Policeman Christen- j bury of Charlotte was phoned for and arrived on the scene about 9 o'clock. Bloodhounds were placed on the fugitive's trail, which they followed for a few miles with varying success, crossing the Southern's railroad bridge near Springdale and running up to Catawba Junction. The fleeing party was not i caught, however. It was only a few days ago, at the | present term of court, that a negro was I tried and convicted of robbing the same store, two others tried at the ! same time being acquitted. The store was again broken into last Sunday night one week ago, and the building j has been guarded every night since. Mill People Prosperous. Conditions anions the people who ; work in the cotton mills of the South are much bettor than when they lived on farms, was the gist of reports made ' at the session of the home mission ; conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, at Charlotte last week. Reports containing a careful analysis ; of the present conditions of mill em! ployos were made by a representative of the board of missions of each of the districts of the five Southern States j represented.
