R. Haile. The work of surveying the streets, preparatory to laying cement pavements, was commenced Friday. The putting down of the cement will begin as soon as the material has been assembled. The total amount of the t\tomill road tax and the $3 commutation tax collected from the several townships of York county up to July 1 was $27,195.39, according to Friday's Yorkville Enquirer. Of this amount Fort Mill township paid $1,951.90. About fortv York county young ladies presented themselves Friday at the graded school in Yorkville to stand the examination for scholarship and entrance to Winthrop college. Among the < number were Misses Esther McMurray, Lessie Epps, Kathleen j Blankenship and Ola Crowder, of Fort Mill township. In another column of The Times will be found the card of S.

Members of the local military < company will be interested to know that no encampments of ] the three South Carolina regi- < ments will be held this year, j This decision was reached Tues- ] day evening in a meeting at i Columbia of the military advisory council. The reason for calling off the encampments is that there < are only available for the purpose, and this amount is insufficient. Fort Mill passengers on the excussion to Charleston Thursday told of a long and tiresome delay onthe return trip at Kingville, a few miles south of Colum? - rr>? I bia, Saturday morning, i ne excursion train left Charleston * t Friday afternoon at 6:30 o'clock t and made a fairly good run to Kingville, where it was compelled to lay-over until a small trestle which had been burned a few miles north of the town could be replaced. The train reached Kingville at 11 o'clock Friday night and was held there until 5 o'clock Saturday morning when it again pulled forward for Columbia and Charlotte. The Fort Mill excursionists reached home about 10 o'clock Saturday morning. Team Off to Abbeville. The Fort Mill baseball team, under the management of C. M. Fite, left town Tuesday morning for Abbeville to engage the team of that city in a series of three games. The Abbeville baseball team is reported to be among the strongest amateur associations in the State, but Manager Fite seemed confident that his crowd of ball tossers would be able to maintain the excellent record which it has established this^ . ftp#'-.' N. Patterson Meets Tragic Death. Lewis N. Patterson, a resident j >f Charlotte, was struck and nstantly killed by a street car in he western section of that city Saturday night at 10:45 o'clock, iis left leg, most of his ribs, the ight and left clavicals and a >ortion of the shoulderblade were ractured. Several conflicting reports as o the accident reached Fort Mill Sunday. Below we reproduce n part what the Charlotte Observer had to say of Mr. Patteron's death: "The accident occurred just at he eastern bank of Irvin's creek, tear Irvin avenue, several blocks lue west of the Southern Railray passenger station. "As the car neared the foot of he grade at which the corresponding ascent begins, the motornan spied two men close ahead, I ralklng beside the track toward I 'harlotte. One was Mr. V. L. I ilanies and the other was Mr. I ^tterson. The latter, who is I ai/4 tn Viavo heen under the in-11 luence of an intoxicant, when ! I irst seen was on the southern 11 ide of the track and walked I icross to the other side. For 11 ome reason he decided to change igain and attempted to cross the rack immediately in front of the 1 apidly moving car which was ust beginning to force its way' iphill. An electric light close at j land furnished illumination. He; tlmost succeeded in his attempt, or he was struck by the fender it its extreme southern end. dad he fallen into it squarely all night have been well. Apparenty, however, his head struck the iross beam, which not only in tself wrought injury, but threw j lis body out of balance, so that lis feet dangled beneath and vere dragged along the track.'' Lewis N. Patterson, the victim )f Saturday night's accident, was or years a resident of the Pleasint Valley section of Lancaster. ?ounty, and is well remembered n Fort Mill. He had lived in Charlotte for the past ten years >r longer. He was about 64 r'ears of age and is survived by a ivife and several sons and daugh:ers, three of whom, Mrs. Margaret Patterson, the wife, and ;wo daughters, Mrs. Len Patterson and Miss Daisy Patterson, reside in Fort Mill. j The funeral and burial took Dlace at Flint Hill Sunday. Unknowingly Violating the Law. The Times is confident that the [ numerous seigning expeditions which have resulted recently in :he taking of many fish from the *iver and creeks in this county j .vere indulged in by persons who .vere unacquainted with the ?ame and fish laws of the State. The Abbeville Medium of recent late published the following sec;ion of the law by which it will i >e seen that persons so engaging mbject themselves to a fine of ^20 or imprisonment for 30 days for each violation of the law. "Section 2. That hereafter no aerson or persons shall cast, iraw, fasten or otherwise make jse of any other seine or drift net, ^yke net of any description, or jse any other appliances for the matching of fish in the waters of ' ;his State, other than privately )wned ponds or lakes, except look and line and ordinary bait, ^r by spoon, or by artificial fly, ir by phantom minnow, or by artificial bait, between the first lay of April and the first day of November of each year. Provided that in the counties of Bamberg. Berkeley, Clarendon, Bolleton, Dorchester and Wiliamsburg the close season shall ie between the first day of April and the first day of August of ?ach year, for violation of this section, the party so violating shall be fined $20 or imprisonment 30 davs for each offense." Only One Day of Court. The court of general sessions for York county convened Mon- 1 lay morning with Judge Jno. S. < Wilson presiding. The following i eases were disposed of: Thomas Walsh, charged with i larceny, pleaded guilty and was j sentenced to one year on the |; Efang; Sam Sibley, same charge, j pleaded guilty and was given 18 < months. Ed White, assault and battery with intent to kill and carrying , concealed weapons, guilty, sentence. 12 months or a fine of $125. HattieTate and Lula Shepherd, ; infanticide. The Judge ordered a verdict of not guilty as to the former and the solicitor con sented to tne same veraici as iu the latter. Jurors were dismissed and the court of general sessions ad- ( journed Monday afternoon. , Many Deaths From Heat. The loss of more than 500 lives , is to be credited to the great heat wave of July 1 to 5. The torrid ; period will be memorable in weather annals for its wide extent. its long duration, its recordbreaking temperature in many places and the long list of fatalities which it has caused. The hundreds of news dispatches from cities of the North Atlantic seaboard west to the plains States say that the heat according to a careful review accounts for the deaths of 431 persons from prostration, and 80 from drowning? a total of 511. Incomplete as the record is from the failure of many points to report specifically the number of deaths, it is as serious a showing as is remembered for many years, if not a record. The number of prostrations is still more difficult to compute, but from the review of the dispatches, it appears that thousands have been seriously overcome by the heat in the! great cities.

Folks who live in cities know t'ery little of the insect known as j lirt clobbers, but out in the country it is a very listless kind of a, boy who has not watched the dirt dobbers?"daubers" may be the; right name?but to the boy they j ire "dobbers." These little wasp- j looking insects build their houses of mud and then nil them with spiders. The dirt dobber is a friend of the fly, for the spider catches the fly and the dirt dobber comes along and nabs the flykiller. If you will take a stick or a straw and touch the spider in the dobber's house you will find that many of them apparently dead are alive for they will wiggle their legs a little and then go back "dead." Wonder if the dobber dopes the spiders? The dobber lays its eggs in the spider's back and the heat of the spider hatches the egg and the young dobber lives on the spider till it is nearly grown. If the old dobber lays an egg in the j back of a small spider it will put another spider by the side of it and the little dobber then has two spiders to live on. Dirt dobbers are interesting little creatures, as all the busy folks in Nature are, tVinv arp worth watC'hintT. But they can produce a lot of vexation to a particular housekeeper for the little dobbers briny their mud right into the house and go to building their little mud homes right on the walls, the furniture, the picture frames or anywhere they are wanted.-Monroe Enquirer.

C. About Paint. Never before should pure paint be ! appreciated than now. With the high j ' cost of materials that enter into its manufacture comes encouragement for the appearance on the market of all kinds of substitutes and adulterants. Pure paint is composed of pure carbonate lead, sulphate zinc, linseed oil and a little turpentine dryer and practically every manufacturer who makes such a product, prints this guarantee in a conspicuous place on the can and is proud of it. Look for it and see if it is there. , If not it is a 100 to 1 shot you are not getting what is regarded as a pure paint. The average painter is no chemist, besides he may be influenced by offers of reward or premiums for the use of a certain paint. The dealer does not know. He goes by the reputation of the manufacturers, and may be influenced bv extra profit. But if it is down in black awl white, signed by a real manufacturer, you have your guarantee and it is good. However, paint may be adulterated to various extents and then be good paint, but the price to you should be adulterated in proportion. In Devoe Pure Lead and Zinc and Homestead Paint we have two Paints that are worth the money. Send a sam-1 pie to Clemson college for analysis ifi you want further assurance. ;l W. B. Ardrey.
