r Two Charlotte young men who (
embarked on the Catawba river t
out from Charlotte bound for 1
Charleston effected a safe land- s
ing at Fort Mill Thursday after- {
noon. They had deserted their j

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

delay onthe return trip at Kingville,
a few miles south of Colum?

Fort Mill excursionists reached
home about 10 o'clock Saturday
morning.

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.

Facts About Dirt Dobbers.
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.

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
