The Times regrets exceedingly that the splendid article which Prof. Frank Potts, of the j University of South Carolina, has i written for these columns arrived too late for publication this week. The article tells of Prof. Potts' observations during the trips he has made recently to Europe and his impressions of the four countries he visited. It. will be published next week. The Fort Mill correspondent of i a daily paper is authority for the j statement that there is a probability of ('apt. S. E. White returning to Fort Mill to live. ; Capt. White has lived in Lancaster for the last five years. He has many friends here who j wouhrb'e pleased should he decide to again become a citizen of this city. From the same authority it is lenrned thnt Mmw T. M. Hughes, of Lancaster, is. also thinking of moving back here. Mr. Hughes will receive; a cordial welcome from his old friends if he returns. After'serving a term of 30 days on the chaingang in York county a decade ago for violation of the I dispensary law, Ed Caton, a white man who lived in this township, moved to Mecklenburg county in North Carolina. He is again in trouble and has been sentenced to two years on the Mecklenburg roads. Caton was tried last week in the superior court in Charlotte on the charge of having run his wife and children away from home several years ago and since living in adultery with a white woman, ostensibly employed as housekeeper at his home. Caton has appealed from the decision of the lower court to the State supreme court. The local tribe of Red Men was instituted Saturday evpnino- in the Masonic hall by J. S.

The next meeting of the tribe will be held Tuesday evening when the | names of the appointive officers will be announced by the sachem and an appropriate Indian name selected for the tribe. I HREF CANDIDATES FOR THE MAYORALTY Interest in Election on the Jump-r^H I c Meeting Suggested. XgSj Frculi impetus was given tra already increasing interest ii the municipal campaign Monday morning by the announcemeni of Ii. C. Ferguson that he was t candidate for mayor to succeec Mayor I<. A. Harris, whose tern expires in January/ Mr. Fergu son is at present an aldermar from WaTd 1, and is a salesmar in the grocery of A. O. Jones. 11 is generally thought that he was infiuencgd bv some of the young er element of the city's voters tc ma*ke the race for mayor ir preference to again standing foi the council, for which he was suggested in one of the tickets published last week. It is not i - _j- - 4_ a rviujwii, ul luur.iii, vvnat erreci Mr. Ferguson's candidacy vvil have on the result of the election, but neither the friends oi Mayor Harris nor K. Shannon, also a candidate for the mayoralty, seemed to be perturbed when told of the new opposition. There seems to be a general desire on the part of the voters that a meeting be held in the town hall a few days prior to the election, on January 10, and that not only the candidates for mayar but also those for aldermen be invited to attend the meeting and express their views on the questions which are apt to come up for determination affecting the interests of the municipality luring the next two years. It is pointed out by those who favor such a meeting that Fort Mill has grown beyond the village stage and that the people are entitled to know, prior to the election. the views of the various candidates on this and that question. "Such a meeting," said a gentleman yesterday, "would be an innovation in Fort Mill, to be sure, tor heretofore the personality of the candidates has beer one of the largest factors in determining the results of the election. . and this is yet an important consideration, of course, but it is not tire only matter foi the voters to take into account in making up their tickets.
