I SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. The highest price' paid for cotton on the Fort Mill market yesterday was 14 cents. Cotton seed. 42 cents per bushel. Mrs. J. T. McGregor and little son, of Forest City, N. C., are visiting at the home of Mrs. McGregor's mother, Mrs. Augusta Culp. I County Treasurer H. E. Neil will spend Friday and Saturday, v November 4 and 5, in Fort Mill for the collection of State and county taxes. I Mrs. J. W. Ardrey returned Monday from a visit to her daughter, Mrs. J. M. Oldham, who has been seriously ill at her home in Charlotte for several days. Misses Eunice Fisher, Sarah Harget, May Culp. Johnsie Fisher, Ellie Culp and Mrs. J. A. Wagstaff composed a party of Pineville ladies wh'ch was in Fort Mill yesterday morning shopping. A number of Fort Mill people are in Charlotte today attending the Mecklenburg fair. The exhibits at the fair this year are ' said to be better than for several years and the horse racing is proving an exciting feature of the week's entertainment. The friends of Mr. J. C. Hunter, prescription clerk at the Ardrey drug store, will regret to learn that he will leave Fort Mill cn November 10. It is Mr. Hunter's intention to enter business for himself at Woodruff, a thriving town in Spartanburg county. 1 Mr. S. H. Epps, Sr., returned Saturday afternoon from a short stay in Greenville, whither he had gone in response to a summon to . attend the Friday session of the Federal court as a witness against a Rock Hill negro who I was up for violating the internal revenue laws. Mr. C. B. Magill made a hurried trip to Savannah a few days ago in response to a telegram he re- ] ceived from a large brick-making concern offering him the superintendency of their plant. After returning to Fort Mill, Mr. Magill decided to continue in the mer- | cantile business here, though the j , offer was tempting. The condition of Thos. B. With- ( ers, who was painfully burned by the explosion of a tank of lubricating oil at Great Falls, in Chester county, two weeks ago, is not improving as fast as his family and friends had hoped for, . and his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Withers, will leave Fort Mill this morning to be at his bedside. Saturday night the temperature dropped to the lowest point thus far recorded this fall and early risers Sunday morning noted on housetops and other places the first frost of the season. The frost did little damage to vegetation, however, as is evidenced by tlie fact that in many fields cotton is still blooming freely. The time for the payment of town tax without the 15percent. , penalty expires next Monday, j the 31st inst., so those who would avoid the payment of the penalty would do well to have a care. Treasurer Spratt anticipates a considerable number of delin quents, as comparatively few of the property owners have thus far paid the tax. The many friends of Mr. Z. T. Bailes will regret to learn that he has been seriously ill at his home near Flint Hill church for several days. Mr. Bailes is ore of Fort Mill's largest plante rs and most substantial citizens and the hope is general that he will soon be restored to his usual health. The : last report from Mr. Bailes' bedside was that his condition was somewhat improved. Lumber is being placed on the grounds for the erection of the I ten-room residence which Mr. and Mrs. T. A.'Mills will have builtt on their Booth street lot, near Main street. The contract, for the erection of the building, which is to cost about $2,500, was awarded to A. A. Bradford, Sr., Tuesday and the work is to begin at once in the hope of having it i completed by January 1. I The Southern's northbound lo^ cal freight was delayed eight w hours in Fort Mill Friday even| ing by the rails of the sidei track to the Fort Mill Mfg. Co.
