This being Thanksgiving Hay and a national holiday, there is no service" on the several rural mail routes in the township. Mr. A. A. Bradford will probably build a nice cottage for rental purposes on his Kast Booth street lot in the near future. Judging from the crowds on the street Saturday the day wus without a doubt the best day of the season for the merchants. The York grand jury on Tuesday returned a true bill against Chas. R. May. of Bock Hill, charged with breach of trust with fraudulent intent. Mr. John Blankenship, a brother of our townsman, Mr. V. B. blankenship, has been dangerously ill fcr the past ten days at his l.ome in upn r Fort Mill. Mr. J. H. Patterson a few days ago purchased from Mr. J. W.

It is rumored on the streets that a fust-cl ass hardware store will be opened hereon January 1st. This kind * of business has been reeded in Fcrt Mill for a number of years and it is reasonable to expect that such a stock ' would tlnd ready sale.

Probably the largest hale of cotton sold this season in South Carolina was that marketed at Anderson Friday, the weight ot the bale being MJ9 pounds. ] The cotton was bought at 14 fi-S cents per pound and netted the producer the 1 snug sum of $117.88. The seed were j sold for $18.65, making a total for I cotton and seed of $186.58. The second killing frost of the season was observed here Friday morning. There was plenty of ict to be seen, as well as old "Jack Frost" and all green vegetation is blackon< i and dead as a rdsult. The thermometer on Friday registered 80 degrees, being several degrees colder than any previous morn- I ing this fall. Several of onr citizens have taken advantage of the cool weather of the I past week to slaughter hogs, and while it, is understood that there are a number of very large porkeis about, the largest ones will not be killed until the weather tightens up a bit, when it is expected that the usual reports or tne big ones will be handed in for publication. Whiteman Hardy, a notoriously desperate negro, was shot three times and killed Monday night by Mr. Truman Turner at the livery stable of the latter in YorkvHle.

The annual banquet of the local lodge of Woodmen of the World will lake place in the city hall next Friday evening.

It will be a source of keen regret to , many people in this section of the State to learn that Dr. J. T. Kell, whose home is about six miles from Fort Mill in lower Providence, has suffered a severe stroke of paralysis, following an illness that h:.s kept him close to his home for several days. One side of his body is badly affected and the physicians fear that on nceount of his extreme feebleness due to his age, the ^chances for his recovery are very .slight. Dr. Kell hrs enjoyed vigorous health, but h?- is now about 80 years of age and has been ,growing decrepit for many months. nHggnn The cotton seed warehouse of Mr. Sam Kell, a resident of the Harrison church neighborhood, was destroyed by fire early Monday night. In the house at the time were the seed from 25 or oO bales of cotton, all of which was burned. The origin of the fire is unknown. A large force of track hands has been engaged in the vicinity of Fort Mill the past few days laying the I heavy new rail being put down on the noutht rn s Charlotte-Columbia line. , The new rail weighs 90 ponnds to the i yard and is 33 feet long, this being : considerably heavier than the old rail which it replaces. A dispatch sent out from Rock Hill Sunday says that Mrs. 13. W. Clark died Sunday morning at her home in that city of pellagra. Mrs. Clark, it was stated, had been sick with the | disease for quite awhile and at one time it was thought that she was rc! sponding to the treatment right along, ; but grew worse and died Sunday. Her Fort Mill friends will regret to learn that Mrs. Nannie Mangum, mother of Mrs. T. E. Merritt and Mrs. E. S. Parks of this city, has heen dangerously ill for some days at her home in Rock Hill. Report yesterday from Rock Hill stated that there was no improvement in her condition and that there is little hope for her recovery. If the sn all grain crop of this winter should prove a success, the farmers of this vicinity will buy less flour the coining year than any year in the past decade. From all sides it is reported that a larger acreage of wheat and oats has been sown than for the past eight or ten years, and where the grain was put in the ground early in September good star.ds have been obtained. The work of sowing has been at a standstill for the past few days, however, on account of the very dry weather. Mrs. Sarah Stephenson, one of the town's oldest lady residents, was seriously injured Saturday morning by a fall on the e?.ment on Main street. Mrs. Stephenson was in the act of leaving the Parks Drue- Co's store when she stumbled and fell. She was unable to arise and when assisted to her home on Spratt street a physician was summonetLund it was found that her left hip was badly wrenched and wrist severely sprained. On account of her injuries this estimable lady is yet unable to be out. It is worth while for citizens of this city who are without State registration Certificates and who wish to vote in the January municipal election, when a mayor an.I six aldermen will be elected for the term ending in January, 1912, to bear in mind the fact that city registration certificates will not be issued them unless they are in possession of State registration certificates, which must be presented at the time application is made for city registration. The last opportunity to secure State registration certificates prior to the city election will bo afforded at the court house in Yorkville on Monday, December (?. The applicant for registration must appear in person. The small two-story residence which workmen are now rolling from the > west side to the east side of Booth 1 street and which will dwnnv n ' most opposite the Methodist church, is ' one of the oldest buildings in the city, | having been built by the late Wm. ; Culp in 1357. Mr. Culp used the build- j ing as a residence for a short while and i_ it then passed into the hands of the i late Dr. S. A. Kell, who also lived in it for a few years. Then for a longtime it was the home of Mr. R. F. Powell, 1 who moved from Fort Mill to Charlotte about 25 years ago. Since then it has been rented to various tenants and is now the property of Dr. T. S. Kirk- I patrick. Cctton Futuref Forced Bankruptcy. A petition was filed in Rock Hill | Friday before C. F. W. Spencer, 1 referee in bankruptcy, adjudging as bankrupt Messrs. Shannon ?& Hope, of Sharon, a firm which has done a big mercantile business for a number of ! years. It is stated that the firm on the strength of buying contracts with 1 neighboring farmers, sold several hundred bales of cotton for fall delivery and thai the farmers with whom ! the contracts were made refused to I bring in the cotton, hence the firm's J loss and the present action. They give liabilities at $3,500 with assets of | $20, (KM). .<*. > *>. > * >> a. + - * * um its* ura ci ^ v I. 11 . . i I III I ' III! I ? ? ?> W HI ^IIBP II I <> *<> rr?

A marriage which will be a great surprise to the friends here of the groom-to-be will take place at Winston, N. C., this (Wednesday) evening when Miss Leila Vest, of that city, becomes the bride of Mr. Ed. W. Russell, of Fort Mill.

Mr. Russell and bride will return to Pineville Thursday evening and a reception in their honor will be given at the.home of the groom's relative, Miss Beulah Younts, at which will be present a large number of the friends of the bride and groom.

Mr. John Porter, who resides in i Mecklenburg county a few miles north of Fort Mill and who is well known in i this section, had the misfortune to lose his barn together with its contents at j an early hour Monday morning.
