C., are visiting at the home of Mrs. Alice Harris on White street. 1 _ Invitations have been received in the city to the commencement exercises at Clemson college to take place June 11th to 13th. Mr. F. E. Ardrey, of Columbia, was a visitor Monday at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ardrey, in Fort Mill. Miss Aileen Harris is expected home during the week from St. George, in Dorchester county, where she has been teaching / school. A game of ball will be played on the local diamond Saturday evening at 4 o'clock between the teams of the Carhartt mill, Rock Hill, and Fort Mill. Mrs. Knox, wife of the well known physician. Dr. John Knox, died suddenly at her home in the Steel Creek community, Mecklenburg county, Monday evening. If you have not been vaccinated recently go to your physician at cnce and have him scratch your arm. Vaccination will do no good after you are laid up with smallpox. Mr. T. G. Moser. who has had charge of the weave room of the Millfort mill, on Monday resigned the position. Mr. Moser has not yet decided which he will accept of the several positions offered him. In the election of officers by the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias in Columbia Thursday, Dr. J. L. Spratt, a prominent young Fort Mill Pythian, was chosen deputy grand chancellor for the Sixth district of South Carolina. At a meeting Monday of the local board of health a resolution , was adopted requesting the city authorities to put a stop to the selling of fish and ice cream at *1 / *? j m l tne corner 01 lviam ana uieuourne streets. This action of the board was in response to requests from several citizens who live in the immediate vicinity. There will be a skimming: station for the Yorkville creamery at Clover. Manager Brydges went up there last week and in a few hours secured subscriptions to the amount of $500. It is intended also to establish stations at Hickory Grove. Sharon, Tirzah and other points provided the people show the right kind of interest. At a meeting a few days ago ^ of the the trustees of Sutton school, in western Fort Mil! township, Mr. G. C. Epps was elected teacher of the school for the 1911-12 session. Mr. Epps is a son of Hon. S. H. Epps, Sr., of Gold Hill, and has attended Furman University. Greenville, for several years. A special of May 24 from Ebenezer, Florence county to The State says that Miss Marion Huggins, daughter of Rev. J. D. Hiiggins, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church, and Tom Move, of Darlington, on Friday morning, accompanied by two of their friends, drove over to Timmonsville and were married by RevMr. Bailey. Rev. Mr. Huggins was pastor'of the Fort Mill Baptist church a few years ago and his daughter, Mrs. Moye, is pleasantly remembered here. The home of Mr. J. M. Gamble, two miles north of Fort Mill, together with its contents was destroyed by fire at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday night. When discovered the flames had gained such headway that nothing could he saved and Mr. Gamble and family had a narrow escape from the burning building. A spark from the kitchen flue is supposed to have started the fire. The house, which was the property of Col. Leroy Springs, was practically a new structure, having been built about two years ago. There was some insurance on the building, it is said, but the amount could not be learned. A report reached Fort Mill Tuesday that the sawmill plant of Mr. Clyde Pettus. in the Van i Wyck section of Lancaster county, together with a large amount of lumber and about 150 cords of pine wood, was destroyed by fire Monday afternoon at 6 o ciock. The lumber was the property of a Mr. Nesbit. on whose place the plant was located. The sawing outfit was practically new, a costly planing machine having been installed only a few days ago, and the loss to Mr. Pettus is very heavy, as there was said t<have been no insurance. The fire is supposed to have started from a spark from the engine. About the Marriage License. As is generally known the fet for a marriage license under th< new law, effective July 1, 1911 is one dollar, seventy-five cent: of this sum going for educationa purposes, while the judge of pro bate keeps the other twentv-fiv< cents. The license contains or one side blanks for affidavits t< be made by the contracting par ties, setting forth their age, color, etc., and a marriage permit which is to be filled out by the judge of probate, while on the other hand is a certificate to be filled out bvv the officiating minister or officer of the law setting fort the fact that he performed the ceremony. This certificate must also beai the signatures of the contracting parties. It is unnecessary for the girl to apply for the li:ense, the permit being issued upon the application of the groom-to-be. Deplorable Accident at Grattan. Seven-year-old Sam Magill, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Magill, of Grattan, lost his right leg Tuesday morning a & the result of! being struck by a freight engine in the yards of the Charlotte j brick plant near his home. The! accident occurred just before the arrival of northbound passenger train No. 36 and the little fellow was taken on the train to Charlotte for medical and surgical attention. At the hospital it was found that the leg was crushed ! just below the knee, but that it was so badly mangled that it would have to be amputated above the joint. Just how the accident occurred probably will never be known for there were no eye witnesses. The little fellow was playing behind 1 some cross ties near the railroad , track and it is supposed that he must, have dashed out behind them and directly on the track just as the swiftly moving engine j came whirling by. It is possible, too, that he might have slipped i down from the pile of cross ties i although this is hardly probable : for the little fellow would have seen the train approaching. , Mr. Magill, father of the injured lad, was not at home at the time of the accident, but, with Mrs. Magill, drove to Charlotte a short time afterward to be with his son. The accident was much deplored by all. Little Sam is a very bright lad and is a favorite) with the large force of employees at the brick plant. Messages from Charlotte yesterday morning were to the effect ! that the little fellow bore up well under the operation and that his condition gave every promise of i a speedy recovery. Fort Mill wins Two Gaines. In a snappy game of ball Thursday afternoon on the local diamond the Fort Mill team handed over a defeat to the Belmont, j N. C., team by a score of 5 to 2. The excellent infield work of the 1 * ' - 31.. locals, resulting in a goouiy number of double plays, was the cause of much praise from the fans. This work and the three-, bagger of Donaldson, scoring three runs in the third inning, were the features of the game. The visitors put up a strong1 right for the game, but were unable to cope with the all round ' good work of the home team. , Batteries: Belmont, Lomax and ; Belk; Fort Mill, Ardrey and 1 Parks. Just how or by whom the report was circulated is not known here, but word reached Fort Mill Monday that the Hickory Grove baseball team would be over the following day and that nothing in York county could play ball along with the H. G. club. The report even had it that the team had played seven games this season and lost only one. Tuesday came and so did the team and when it departed in the evening Hickory Grove had another game annexed to the lost side of its season's record. The game Tues; day was uninteresting from the third inning, when Fort Mill had civ mpri vvhilp Hip visitors h:id one lone run to their credit. The locals continued to pound the visiting pitcher and when the game was over the score book showed that Fort Mill had sent 17 men over the home plate while only three of the visitors had made the circuit. Batteries: Hickory Grove. Slaughter and Robertson; Fort Mill. Ardreyar.d Parks. Good Fishing in Catawba. I Mr. B. F. Bennett, who lives near the Catawba dam, on Saturday told an interesting story to Fort Mill friends about the number and size of tish which had been taken from Catawba river in the vicinity of his home during the last two weeks. The water in the stream has been very low on account of the protracted drought. Above the dam, in the small lakes, many tish have been caught, but the best point perhaps for fishing has been just below the dam. At this season it is said the fish travel upstream in schools and on reaching the dam can of course go no further, and it is here that the finny tribe are hauled out in great numbers. The annaratus used in catching the fish is a dip net, made of an ordinary barrel hoop, over which * netting is loosely stretched, allowing it to bag in the center. The hoop is then securely fas1 tened to a pole six or eight feet : long. A bateau is at hand and . the fisherman goes out to where the water pours over the dam in ; the greatest volume and proceeds to draw his net through the water. When the fish are "runi ning" the fisherman rarely makes 1 a "drag" without landing a carp or eat. and at times several pounds are taken at a single draw. Mr. Rennett stated that one day the past week no less - than 200 pounds of carp and cats were taken from the stream in this manner. Some of the carp j weighed as much as nine pounds. To Increase the Price of Cotton. 1 A gigantic trust to control the ) cotton business of the country in - the same way the Standard Oil , company controls the oil industry ! may be the direct outcome of the recent cotton manufacturersconI vention in Richmond. The plan r is for a system of warehouses through which the grower and ; buyer will conduct business, both to be subject to warehouse backers who are planning to put many millions of dollars into the ' project. The plan is said to have ( originated in New Orleans, the prime object being to raise the price of cotton to the consumer. >v Hurr I For 10 days only 1 suit of clothes that is equal in Fort Mill.
