SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. Mrs. Elva Harris and son, Caldwell, of Albemarle, N. C., are guests at the home of Mr. j R. F. Grier. Mrs. E. R. Patterson is visiting relatives in the Fort Lawn section of Chester county. , Miss Florence Kimbrell, of Martinsville, Va., is visiting at the home of her father, J. L. Kimbrell, a few miles north of town. Mrs. J. B. Mack left Tuesday morning for a visit of several days at the home of her brother. Prof. A. R. Banks, at Hyatt Park. near Columbia. Robt. L. Goff, of Rock Hill, is the third candidate to announce for county treasurer. Mr. Goff is a young man who is at present engaged in clerical work. The appearance of the lobby of the Fort Mill postoffice is decidedly more pleasing to the eye in the dress of fresh paint and varnish to which it was treated a few days ago. The Times this week carries a little more than five columns of home advertising. If the paper is worth anything to the community it deserves better patronage of the town's business interests. L. M. Chance, a former citizen of Fort Mill who moved to Pineville, N. C., some years ago, where he has been engaged in the livery business for some time, is closing out his business with the view of moving to the West. The Rev. W. A. Hafner, pastor of the Presbyterian church, returned to Fort Mill Monday evening, after an absence of several days in Chesterfield, where he had been assisting at a series of special services in the Presbyterian church. The meeting which is in progress at the Fort Mill Baptist church is attracting large audiences to hear the helpful sermons which are being delivered by the Rev. Dr. Miller, of Greenville. The meeting will continue for several days, with daily services in the forenoon and evening. Saturday afternoon the streets of Fort Mill presented a scene of activity unusual in mid-summer ' - and a number of merchants report the best day's business for several weeks. Special sales were in progress at several stores and this fact doubtless influenced many farmers and others to come to town. Governor Ansel will be asked to pardon Charley White, the Fort Mill negro who was recently convicted of killing Will Tillman, another negro, and given two years on the chaingang. A petition praying the governor to pardon White was circulated lur siK"ULurt*s in ron Mill Saturday morning:. Officers Potts and Coltharp brought to Fort Mill Monday afternoon from the saw mill of Clyde Pettus, a few miles south of town, a negro man named Riley Brown and locked him up in the station house. Brown is wanted by the authorities of Fairfield for a misdemeanor he is charged with having committed at Ridgeway some months ago. The announcement is made that there will be no services, other than Sunday school, in the Fort Mill Presbyterian church next Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Hafner, pastor of the church, will preach to the congregation of Tirzah church in the forenoon of that day and in the afternoon will deliver a lecture to the Bible class. Ernest Whitesell, assistant agent at the freight depot of the Southern railway in Fort Mill, who had the misfortune to get his left foot so badly mangled in an accident in the freight yards in Spartanburg last fall as to necessitate amputation at the ankle, anticipates the necessity of having more of the injured limb taken off in the next few weeks, on account of the wound not having satisfactorily healed. Twenty-five years ago Hugh Moore was a well known farmer of this section. One dav he dropped out of sight and for a j long time his family thought him dead, but he was very much alive and \\<as making considerable headway in a new home he had established in the West, x Saturday he paid his first visit to this section since he suddenly left hem a quarter of a century ago. Mr. Moore is now living in Greenville county. YORK PRIMARY LISTS CLOSE IN TWO WEEKS FROM FRIDAT Exactly two weeks from Friday, the Democratic primary lists for York county will close, according to the announcement of the executive committee, and the voters will then know from whom thev will have to choose for county officers and members of the house of representatives. The last announcements of candidates must be in by noon of Friday. August 12. along with the entrance fee to secure a place on the official ballot to be used in the selection of party nominees on August 30. The rules of the party require that the nominee for each office re ceive a majority of the vote cast in the primary, otherwise the two candidates receiving the largest vote must enter a second primary, which is always held two weeks from the date of the first primary. Should a second primary be necessary, it will be held on September 13. The official canvass of the county by the various candidates begins at Blairsville on August 13 and closes at Yorkville or August 27. Successors to all of the county officeis except the sheriff and clerk of court, whe hold over for two years, as does the State senator, are to be chosen, and there is the prospect of an interesting campaign, as there is only one of the present officers without oppositior up to this time. There are thre< candidates for treasurer, four for auditor, two for superintendent of education and three foi county supervisor. The incum bents of these offices are, re spectivelv, Harry Neil, J. J Hunter, T. E. McMackin am C. F. Gordon. Two new count} commissinnprs nrr> also h< elected as is a judge of probate j but nobody in the eastern sectior of the county seems to knov who the candidates for thes< offices are. In the race for the Legislature there are announced in The Time: six candidates. York county \ apportionment of members ii the house of representatives i: four, and unless there are othei candidates yet to enter the rac< only two of the number seekinj the honor will be defeated. 1 is worthy of note that there i not so far a single Rock Hill can didate for the Legislature, thougl it is possible that Mayor John 1 Roddey's friends may preva upon him to become a candidate ARDREY'S ARDREY'S TURNIP SEEDS ALL THE LATEST VA PIETIES AS USUAL.
