Cotton seed. 45 cent3 per bushel. Friends of Mr. R. M. Hood are , nlpnspfl fr* spp tVmf lip its nhlp to be on the streets again this week, after a severe illness of malarial fever. Mr. VV. H. Windle is perhaps * the champion pumpkin raiser of the township with 25 full grown pumpkins on a single vine 55 feet long. The aggregate weight of the pumpkins is several hundred pounds. Mr. Lee Armstrong is authority for the statement that nitrate of soda is not good food for cows. Some days ago a valuable heifer belonging to Mr. Armstrong ate a quantity of the fertilizer and within two hours was dead. The first one of the new series of postal money orders recently issued by the government was received for payment at the Fort Mill postoffice Monday morning. The order was issued by the Clover postoffice and was in payment of a subscription to The Times. ? I Cotton thieves are active in the Gold Hill neighborhood. Some k nights ago 300 pounds of seed cotton was stolen from Mr. J. J. Coltharp and Friday night Mr. W. H. Windle discovered a prowler in his gin house who was doubtless intent upon making m away with as much of the fleecy staple as he could carry. A business change of con siderable importance took place ? in Fort Mill a few days ago when the Mills & Young company bought the interest of Mr. V. B. Blankenship in the Fort Mill mule company. The business of the Mule company will be continued as a department of the Mills & Young company. A number of women passengers of northbound train No. 28 were badly frightened and unnerved Saturday afternoon between Rock Hill and Fort Mill by the unseemly conduct of a party of half drunken men who were riding in the smoking compartment of one of the first-class coaches?instead of in a cattle car, where they belonged. Tuesday morning Joe Kimbrell, negro, was given 80 days % on the county chaingang by MagIistrate McElhaney for failing to work the public roads. Kimbrell lived on the plantation of Mr. Wm. Boyd in the Gold Hill section of the township. Some weeks ago he ran away to escape road duty. Sunday night he returned and Monday was arrested by Constable Coltharp. T)^aL ^.1 i.L 1 ^ A l .nuui cue nurui- ana soumbouncl passenger trains of the Southern railway were delayed in Fort Mill for a considerable time Thursday. The main line was blocked at the south end of the passing track by a freight car which got off the track as a northbound freight train was heading into the siding. For a short distance the ties in the side track were torn up by the freight car bumping over them. In returning to Fort Mill Saturday afternoon from a two weeks' stay in Pickens county in the interest of Sunday school work, the Rev. S. I'. Hair, pastor of the Fort Mill Baptist church, had the misfortune to lose a valise containing about $50 worth of clothing and other articles. Mr. Hair is confident he left the valise on a Seaboard train between Greenwood and Chester, but the authorities have been unable to locate it. Paul A. Williams, the young Columbian who was brutally murdered and then -obbed by pirmlAvoa nf n nivonc rvr? fVic Vitq/IV.T VU VI (I VIA VWO VI I tliv VY C4#> from Columbia to Augusta Saturday night, was known by at least one citizen of Fort Mill. Some years ago F. Everard Ardrey of this place and young Williams were coemployes of the Southern railway at the freight offices in Columbia. They were also members at the same time of the Second regiment band. workmen are putting the finishing touches to the new home of Mr. D. 0. Potts in Pleasant Valley. When the house is completed Mr. Potts will have one of the most attractive and commodious homes on the Charlotte and Lancaster highway. It is a two-story structure containing ten large rooms, with a generous contribution of piazza well arranged, and occupies the site of the old Gibbons home in the centre of a beautiful grove of oaks.
