It la the opinion of the farmers hereabouts that t least three-fourths of the cotton crop has been harvested, and that the 15th of November will see | little unpicked cotton. As a rule the cotton has been marketed as fast as it was picked. Something like 100 looms at the Millfort mill have been vtiut off during tho past ten days on account of the walls of one section of the mill showing signs of giving away. These looms are i located on the second floor and it was considered , unsafe to operate them longer without repairing the walla. The report in the papers a few days ago that J. H.

The Tjmfs extends thanks to those of its friends who have responded to the request recently made for the payment of subscriptions due. And especially does the |>aper feel grateful to the friends who have paid a year's subscription In advance. The installing of a modern cylinder press, by which it is hoped to enlarge and otherwise improve the paper, will be ma<lc within ten days and the disposition shown by its readers to help the publishers bear this extra expense is indeed gratifying. There are, however, a number who are still due the year's subscription and it is hoped that they will call ut once and settle. Smallpox Near Town. Dr. T, S, Kirkpatrick, one of the town's physicians, called at The Times office Tuesday morning and gave out the information that Kitoh Campbell, a j negro man whom he had been called j upon to attend, has a genuine case of smallpox at the home of the negro's j father, Jim Campbell, 2 miles west of Fort Mill. The Campbell negro has been living in Charlotte, where small- > pox has been prevalent for some time, I and came home sick the past week, though the disease did not develop 1 until Saturday, and a physician was not called until Monday. During Saturday and Sunday numbers of negroes are said to have visited, the Campbell house and were of course ex posed to the disease. The case of Campbell is the first smallpox that has been reported in this section in a number of years, and it is to be hoped that proper methods will be adopted to prevent a spread of the disease. Fort Mill is at present has no active board of health, we are told, and it is not known what, action will be taken in the case of Campbell. The city authorities have been notified of the appearance of the disease and will at once take the matter up with the State authorities awl will do everything possible to prevent an epidemic of this dreadful malady. Pineville Lady Passes Away. Mrs. Martha Brswn died at her home at Pineville Sunday morning, -after an illness of several months of dropsy. She had been twice married, her first hus band being1 the late J. K. Carothers who waa for many years a well known farmer of the Flint Hill neighborhood. In May of thi3 year she was married to Mr. J. "Smiley" Brown, who died suddenly at Pineville last July. Since then Mrg. Brown had been in declining health and to those who knew her condition her death was not unexpected. She was about 65 years of age and had been a life-long member of Flint Hill Baptist church. The interment was at Pineville cemetery, where the remains were placed by the side of those of her first husband. Mr. W. R. Carothers, of Fort Mill, was a nephew of the deceased. "Graft" Cases in Chester. A press dispatch sent out from Chester says that at the court of general sessions in that city Monday morning Solicitor Henry handed to the grand iury the following bills, prepared by Attorney General Lyon: The State vs. Jodie M. Rawlinson, Joseph B. "YVylie, John Black, James S. Farnum, John T. Early, M. A. Goodman and H. Lee Solomons?indictment for conspiracy: the State vs. James S. 1< arnum?indictment for bribery. The first bill, after reciting the fact that Rawlinson, Black and Wylie were the duly elected representatives of the people of South Carolina to purchase liquors of the old State dispensary, charges that they did, at Chester, on March 6, 1906, agree to accept certain rebates over and above their salary, in a manner not allowed by law, from the other defendants named in the bill. The second bill charges James S. Farnum with having on the sixth day of March, 1908, at Chcste;, corruptly given, offered and promised to Joseph B. Wylie a gift or gratuity of the value of ?1,575 to influence his vote as a member of the dispensary board in the purchase of liquors for the State. The attorney general does not hope to have any of these cases tried at this term, but some of them will surely come up for trial at next term, at least at a term during the year.
