ve miles east of Fort Mill, the 1
leasant Valley section of Lan- 1
aster county has lost a good i
itizen and the Methodist church <

Mr. Ormand was one of the ;
ldest citizens of Pleasant Valley, i

reat pieiy and was loved and i

Methodist church and up

Commutation for York Convicts.
Among the last batch of peitions
for pardon considered by
lovernor Ansel last week were
wo from York county convicts,
n the case of Charley White,
olored, of Fort Mill township,
vho was sentenced to t wo vears
>n the chaingang by JudgeShipp :
or killing Will Tillman, also
olored, on the plantation of Dr.
\ S. Kirkpatrick, near Fort Mill,
n April of last year, the senence
was eonimuted to 18
nonths. White has been on the
haingang since last October and
n consequence of the governor's
:ommutation will have only a
ittle more than, a year to serve,
-lis petition for pardon was 1
iigned by Judge Shipp and eight
>f the jurors who sat on the case, ,
jesides many citizens of Fort
dill, but Solicitor Henry refused
;o sign the petition as did the re- j
naining four jurymen.
Commutation to date was
granted Mort Williams, another
'f'ork convict, who was sent to
die penitentiary for five years in
die spring of 1906 for mandaughter.
Williams is a negro
ind killed a friend in an affray.
The evidence against him was
circumstantial. Williams has
made an excellent prisoner, having
been a "trusty" from the
first. Recently he pursued,
wounded and recaptured an escaping
convict.
Worthy of Emulation.
Honeu Path Chronicle.
Our attention has been called
to an advertising envelope which
the town of Fort Mill has issued.
On the front are. views of Confederate
nark, the electric nhint.
of the Southern Power company
on the Catawba river, and a
street scene showing the paved
streets and electric lighting fixtures
and also a cut of the new
$14,000 school building. In large
letters at the top, "Fort Mill, S.
C." is conspicuously displayed.
In the upper left hand corner is
a blank space to be filled by the
firm using the envelope. On the
back is printed matter setting
forth the advantages of the town.
At the bottom in large letters
are the words "We want you."
The job was done by The Times
Print, Fort Mill, and is a fine
specimen of work. Wherever
letters go in this envelope, east
west, north, or south, sent out by
all the business firms of the town
attention will be called' to the
town in a way to make a pleasing
impression. This is what one
wide-awake town is doing to advertise
its advantages, and it is
growing too. We commend the
enterprising spirit which does
such things to our citizens as
being worthy of emulation.
A Plenty of People.

According to a condensed report,
given out last week, of the
cense, taken last summer. South
Carolina has a larger population
to the square milethiui any other
Southern State, with the single
exception of Virginia. In this
State the average population to
the square mile is 49.7. If all the
people of South Carolina were
moved out of the cities and towns
and distributed equally each
would have a little less than 13
acres to his or her share.

Beware of the "High Flyer." |
In his message to the Indiana
Legislature Thursday, Governor i,
T>1 r\ -m a * ? ? * . ?
inos. ft. Marsnau tout the members
"to be careful of the man
who wanted to show them a pood
time the day after he had been
introduced," and also to beware
:>f the "high flyer."
"The fellow who wants to show
you a pood time," said the povernor.
"has an axe to grind and he
intends to chop his own wood
with it. There is no money in
honest public service and the
man who flies hiph in office has
some one holding the string to
his kite."

Here's Your Chance
We have several thousand dollars i
worth of finished marble and granitc
monumcnts on our yani. This is more !
than we consider necessary ^to carry j
and w- wish to reduce it by one-half j
between this time and the end of the
year. In order to do this we are offering
any headstone or monument now in
stock at a lower price than other dealers
have to pay for the same work.
No use to pay $100 for a monument
when you can buy.the same thing from
us at $75. The agent gets the difference.
Come to our yard and keep the $25 in
your pocket.
