The Tjmfs extends thanks to those of its
friends who have responded to the request recently

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.
