The highest price paid for cotton
on the Fort Mill market
yesterday was 13.65 cents. 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.

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.

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

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.
