* i SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. D. B. Dickens, of Chester, was among the visitors to Fort Mill this week. . Edgar Williams, of Kersbrrw, has accepted a position as salesman with the Fort Mill Drug company. Mrs. J. M. Grier, who has ' been seriously ill for some time at her home on White street, was reported yesterday as being ,?u 1 U I H_ llcll Miss Virginia Hamilton returned Sunday evening from a visit of several weeks at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Hamilton, in Union. Announcement has been made that Rev. J. C. Spinks, formerly a resident of this township, will preach at the Methodist church here next Sunday evening. Mr. Spinks is at present pastor of a church at Rockton. The census bureau's cotton report issued Monday places the | number of bales ginned to Janu' ary 16 from the 1909 crop at 9,792,990. as .compared with 12,666,209 bales to the same date last year. The report had little effect on the market. W. M. Crook, a civil engineer who has for several years worked at different points in Georgia and Florida, was here the past week visiting his parents, who reside in Gold Hill. Mr. Crook ? is at present engaged in the real estate business. ^ Mrs. J. Z. Bailes, of Pleasant Valley, whose serious illness was noted in The Times last week, was taken to a hospital in Charlotte Friday for treatment. Last reports from Mrs. Bailes' bedside indicated little change in her condition. A bill requiring dealers in dynamite and other explosives, except ordinary gun powder, to pay an annual license of $500 has been introduced in the Legisla ture by Senator Louis Appelt. The bill also requires all persons selling such explosives to keep a record of such sales. K. Shannon, the public cotton weigher, finds little work nowadays in the discharge of his duties. There is very little cotton in the hands of the farmers of ' ? this section and those who i possess any of the staple are not disposed to sell at present, for the reason, it is supposed, they don't need the money. Miss Eloise Martin, of Hawkinsville, Ga., is a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Ardrey. Miss Martin is returning to her home after an extended sight-seeing trip to the principal cities of the North. She and Mrs. Ardrey were college-mates at Agnes Scott institute, Decatur, Ga., some years ago. Misses Christine South and Kittie McMullin of Winthrop college accompanied Miss Kittie Kirkpatrick to the home of her parents, Dr. and Mrs. T. S. Kirkpatrick, Friday afternoon and spent a few days here as the i mmet nf MIGO 1 (^uvuk vx muu ml ltl\, illlSS South and Miss Kirkpatrick are teachers at Winthrop and Miss McMullin is the secretary to President Johnson. The rains of the last few days have further interfered with the farm work which is usually under way in this section at this season of the year. Since the first of the year the ground has been frozen a greater part of the time, making it impracticable to push the work of preparation for the spring planting, and the result is that many farmers find the second month of the year almost upon them with the work they had hoped to do during January undone. Fort Mill continues to maintain the reputation which the town has long enjoyed as the Gretna Green for a large number of North Carolina couples on mar riag?' oeiu, some 01 vvnom come hero to be made husband and wife to escape the jurisdiction of parental objection, while others seek the hospitality of the place and the services of the law officers or ministers for the satisfaction of being able to say to their friends that they were married in the best State in the Union ""t and the bestest best town in that State. The latest couple to be 1 accommodated here was Coy Small and Miss Gertie Reed, both of Concord, N. C. These young people arrived on train No. 29 Sunday morning and within a few hours were joined for better or for worse by Magistrate Me-1 Elhaney. Mrs. Mary Ardrey, of Charlotte,. is on u visit to her daughter, Mrs. J. L. Spratt. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Klmbrell has been seriously ill for some days at the home of its parents on Clebourn street. Miss Lillie Massey returned to her home in this place Tuesday afternoon, after a pleasant visit of several days to Miss Beckie Lyles in Winnsboro. Quite a number of people in this section have seen the comet which appeared in the heavens a few evenings ago. Tuesday evening the comet was visible at (5:30 o'clock, but within a few minutes had faded from view. Rev. W. A. Hafner, pastor of Fort tMill Presbyterian church, went to Sharon, this county, Saturday to assist in the installation Sunday of Rev. W. B. Arrowood to the pastorate of Woodlawn church. Work in one or more of the departments of the graded school is being interfered with by measles among the children. The disease is of a mild form, however, and none of the children has been seriously ill from it. There is more water in Cataw- j ba river at present than there has been for several months, due to the heavy rains of the last few days in the watershed of the river in the mountains of North Carolina. Some weeks ago the fear was expressed that the low stage of water would interfere with the electric power plants of the Southern Power company, but there is now no apparent danger of such a contingent. R. E. Parks, former prescription clerk for the Ardrey drug firm in this place, is now located at Culpeper, Va. Mr. Parks, in a recent letter to a relative here, states that this winter has been one of the hardest the Old Dominion has experienced in years and that there will be little business for the ice dealer? in that section next summer, judging from the amount of ice which has been harvested since the freezes of the winter began. anua -A meeting of r'ort Mill Chapter, No. 4, 0. E. S., will be held tonight, at which the installation of officers will take place. All membrrs are requested to be present. J. L, SPRATT.
