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.

cal freight was delayed eight

I spreading beneath the engine' at
1 the crossing on White street. The
P crew of the freight train and the
P local track hands worked heroich
ally to rerail the engine, but
g| made little headway and it was
H finally found necessary to send
H a wrecking crew from Char-1
m lotte to do the work. i
