SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. Mr. C. C. Haile and sister, ! Miss Lula, are visiting relatives in Lancaster and Kershaw. The Savings Bank of Fort Mill has recently placed a handsome bronze sign at the front entrance to its banking house. Mrs. E. E. Baker and children returned to Columbia Monday after a short visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Young in this city. Mr. Lem B. Stephenson, a prominent young business man of Hartsville, attended the funeral Tuesday of his grandmother, Mrs. S. H. Stephenson. F. J. Muir, who some years ago was superintendent of the Fort Mill Mfg. company, has moved with his family from Greensboro, N. C., to Boston, , Mass. In mentioning last week that the stores of the town would close at 7 p. m. during the summer, The Times failed to state that the stores would remain open Saturday nights as heretofore. Work of remodeling the old White house, just beyond the northern limits of the town, is in progress. The old White house is one of the oldest buildings in this section of the country, hav. ing been erected in 1833. * On account of the very threataninrr uraatViar nf TVi iiforlo \r fVio filing TTVHbllVl Vi J. iiUl UUUJ y bllV Charlotte Y. M. C. A. baseball team did not show up for the advertised game of ball with Fort Mill. The teams will probably arrange for a game within the next few days. Intelligence reached Fort Mill Monday of the marriage at Stony Point, N. C., on June 6 of Miss Anna Barber and Mr. Reece Harris. Mrs. Harris is a sister of Mr. Alex Barber of Fort Mill and the announcement of her marriage came as a pleasant surprise to her friends here. Mrs. T. E. Sharpe and children arrived Saturday from Greenville ana will spend a few days with Mrs. Sharpe's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Potts. They were accompanied to Fort Mill by Miss Juanita Erwin, who has been i attending Chicora college in Greenville. A fine mule belonging to J. L. ! Kimbrell, of upper Fort Mill, was | struck and killed by lightning durine a thunder storm last Wednesday afternoon. The mule, ( with several others, was in a ; pasture when the storm came on and it was later found dead near a willow tree which had been shattered by a bolt of lightning. Reports from the Charlotte hospital concerning the condition of little Sam Magi 11, who was run over by a freight train at Grattan two weeks ago and whose leg was amputated as a result of the accident, are very I encouraging. The little fellow has borne his sufferings with admirable fortitude and resoluteness and his friends will learn with much pleasure of his steady progress toward recovery. It is a matter of general comment around Fort Mill how fine cotton is looking and seems to be doing. It seems that the dry spell came after much of the cotton was out of the ground, and the heat of May caused it to grow fast. Corn, too, is looking good. fKa vorrfltohlo nrarrtanc Rilffprpd A lie Itg^VUVIIV gutuvow w..... greatly during the long drought, !: but the rains of the past ten days caused them to take on new life, 1 and the gardeners are in hopes that the plants will fully recover. Fort Mill Lost to Davidson. The Fort Mill ball team Tuesday afternoon lost the first of a series of games with the Davidson, N. C.. club by a score of 13 to 6. The visitors took a strong lead in the first inning, when by a goodly nurrfber of hits they piled up five runs. Fort Mill returned the compliment (?) in the second by pushing three men t across the plate, and in the fifth tied the score. The two innings that followed saw little change in the score, but in the eighth by heavy slugging, with several errors by the locals, the visitors sent three men around the circuit, and in the ninth two more Davidsonians scored. The batteries were: Davidson, Cashion and Holler; Fort Mill, Henderson and Parks. The teams play again this (Wednesday) afternoon and, as the Fort Mill team has been ma terially strengthened, it is expected that the locals will share honors with the visitors. Mrs. Sarah Stephenson Dead. Mrs. Sarah Haile Stephenson, one of the town's oldest lady residents, died at her home near the Baptist church Monday morning, aged 82 years. Mrs. Stephenson had been an invald for the past two years, having sustained injuries in a fall on Main street and was never afterward able to leave her home. The burial was made in the town cemetery Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock after services at the home. Mrs. Stephenson was a daughter or the late Col. James t Haile and widow of Hon. L. B. Stephenson, of Kershaw county. The surviving members of the immediate family are four sisters, Mrs. N. C. Massey, Mrs. S. M. Mills, Mrs. Kirkland Shan- j non and Mrs. L. H. Drakeford, ail of Fort Mill, and a brother, j Dr. T. J. Haile, of Fitzgerald, j G*. ; I If " / Dr. J. B. flack Upsets False Claim. Editor Atlanta Constitution: In The Constitution of June 4 there is the following item: "Macon, Ga., June 3. (Sp -cial) ?The unveiling of the handsome monument to the 'Women of the South' ?the first shaft ever dedi-1 cated to the memory of women who lived and suffered during the Confederate war, took place here this afternoon." Macon is a capital (not capitol) j city, and hence this is only a capital exhibition of monumental ignorance. In South Carolina, near the Catawba river, and not far off from Charlotte, N. C., is a town of 2,000 inhabitants called Fort Mill. On May 21, 1896?over 15 years ago?in that town was unveiled a monument, the pedestal of which was 12 feet high and on this the statue of a woman 6 feet high; making the whole monument of Italian marble to be 18 feet high. The beautiful statue was on' - - ? -it J~! bended knee, witn ciaspeci nanus, and the eyes were turned upward to heaven, as if in prayer. On the south side were these words: "To flic women of the Confederacy, tne living and the dead, who, 'midst the gloom of war, were heroines in the strife. ' To perpetuate their noble sacrifices on the altar of our com-; mon country, let sweet incense arise till it reaches them in robes of victory beyond the skies." David the king had many flocks?a poor man had only one lamb, yet the king coveted and took that only one that was the poor man's light and joy. Macon is a great city and has j many jewels?the little town of South Carolina has one pearl, a pearl of great price. Should not the little one be permitted to keep its own without its beauty being marred b/roval greed? r J. B. Mack. ! ? ? ? D. A. R. Holds Important Meeting. Kanawha Chanter, D. A. R. had its j last meeting on Tuesday, June 6, with Misses Susie and Zoe White. Mrs. W. B. I Ardrey presiding as regent for the last i time, the meeting was opened with the ritual. Just after this followed the I reading and discussion of a very vivid | sketch of the life of Rebecca Motte by Miss Susie White. Miss White had ' lately visited Charleston, the birthplace of that noted heroine, and, through the kindness of a Charleston gentleman, was given all the details of Mrs. Motte's unusual life. As the 1 regent of the Rebecca Motte Chapter, D. A. R., of Charleston, is a lineal descendent of that historic foremother, ' the facts contained in the sketch of her lift? were brought in closer touch with mcdern historv. The discussion for the evening was: "Lafayette, DeKalb, Pulaski, and other famous foreigners connected with South Carolina's struggle for independence," and, as each life was reviewed again and again, the thought arose: "What pure, disinterested patriotism these noble men showed!" The election of officers came next. Mrs. J. B. Elliott and Mrs. W. B. A -drey were unanimously elected regent j ard vice regent, Miss Susie White, secretary. The following ap|?ointive ' officers were selected: Miss Kittie j | Kirkpatrick. treasurer. Miss Willie Hol^', historian. Mrs. J. L. Spratt re- ; 1 mains registrar. 11 It was decided to have the Year Book again, and a committee of three will be appointed to get up material for it. The past year has been a very sue- 1 cessful one for Kanawha Chapter, the j regent being just the right person for the place, a charming personality, arousing enthusiasm for each detail of the work by the simple force of her own regard for the welfare of the Chapter. Although the Chapter regrets that she can hold the office no longer, the new regent is eminently fit to take up the work she has laid down. After the programme had been dis' AMAnvn on^ nobu pen sea wnn, ueuciouo u?m ( were served, supplemented by a fruit course. The Misses White, as always, gave each one who attended another pleasant memory of an evening well spent. W. H. From the County Seat. Correspondence Fort Mill Times. Yorkville, June 12.- This section of the county was visited last Wednesday 1 by one of the best rains of the season. 1 There was little washing done, the ground taking in all the rain, and no i hail. The cotton is coming up rapidly and corn is looking fine. The cotton crop will be late, but with a late fall our farmers will be in the game when gathering time comes. On Thursday morning of last week Mr. George Wilkerson, who lives near Yorkville, was assaulted by Mr. C. M. lnman, whose home is also near this place. From reports it seems that Mr. Wilkerson while on his way to town saw Mr. In man in his woixis cutting timber and told Mr. Inman to get off. The two went together and Mr. Inman after getting hold of Mr. Wilkerson's walking cane gave the latter a severe thrashing with the stick. Mr. Wilkerson came on to Yorkville and after having his wounds dressed went before Magistrate J. C. Comer and swore out a warrant for Mr. Inman. Upon being arrested Mr. inman prompt ?a?<r bond in the sum of $500 for his appearance at court. Mr. W. D. Thomasson has returned to his home on R. F. D. G. after a month's business visit to Fairfield county. Mr. J. M. Stroup. a well known merchant of the city has purchased an automobile. This puts the number of Yorkville's autos up to 42. The Spencer lots, in the upper section of town near the orphanage, have been put in the hands of a local broker for sale. These lots are among the most desirable in Yorkville. Streets have been opened through the property anil the lots doubtless will sell readly and at good prices. News has reached Yorkville of the sudden death Sunday of Mrs. McDaniel. wife of Mr. John McDaniel.of Smyrna. Mrs. McDaniel had been unwell for 11 e - l 1 A U.,,1 several (lays anu wnn ner nu>u?nuw nnw gone to Smyrna to consult a physician. While returning home she was stricken with heart failure and died in the road. She was about 50 years of age and was admired by all who knew her. Besides a husband Mrs. McDaniel is survived by several children. The funeral will take place today at Smyrna church. W.
