The farmers of the "Fork" section of the township had a splendid picnic Tuesday near the home of Mr. F. Nims. A large crowd of people from the country around were present to enjoy the festivities. Jno. F. Ashe, of McConnellsville, this county, has been named as one of the South Carolina delegates to the meeting of the International Dry Farming Congress in Colorado Springs, CoL, October 16 to 20.

Cheap rates are offered ' to all points in upper South Carolina, western North Carolina and ' other points. Word comes from the low counties of South Carolina that leaves on the trees down there are turning and dropping just as they do in the fall of the year. Many of the trees are dying. The continued drought and excessive warm weather is given as the cause. Mr. J. J. Thompson, who lives near Mt. Holly, . lost a fine $60 milk cow Friday morning from an unusual cause. The cow got into a sack of nitrate of soda which had been?left under a wagon shed and was dead in 15 or 20 minutes after eating. - Rock Hill Herald. Tom Hall, young son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Hall,_ went to a Charlotte hospital Monday lor treatment for a sore foot. Several weeks ago pear Catawba river the young man accidentally stepped on the sharp point of a cane which had been cut off just above the ground, and has since had a very sore foot. There was great rejoicing in and around Fort Mill Thursday afternoon, when this section was visited by a steady, soaking rain, From the reports from the surrounding country it seems that the rainfall was even greater in some of the rural districts than in the town. There was another rain Friday morning, beginning about 5 o'clock and lasting well up into th3 ferenoon. For the first time in several months the jgrouiH^ ^showed some signs of > ' : ' - Mr. and Mrs. Will Taylor returned to Lancaster yesterday, after a visit to relatives in this ' city. v J. W.

The finest load of watermelons on the local market this season were brought in Tuesday by W. E. Whitesell. The melons were of the Bradford variety and ranged in weight from 70 pounds down. An effort was made Tuesday afternoon to get up a committee to arrange for the Fort Mill picnic, but as little enthusiasm was shown the effort was a failure, and it now looks as if the picnic will not be held this year. The local office of Leroy Springs & Co., cotton buyers, is to be discontinued, and Mr. Paul *G. McCorkle, who has managed the business for the Dast ten years, leaves this week for Yorkville, where he intends to make his home in the future.?Chester Reporter. Ordination at Flint Hill. i On last Sunday three promising : young men were ordained to the , ministry of the gospel at Flint ! Hill church. They are Porter M. Bailes, J. Wendel Barber and 1 Grover C. Epps. The ordaining council invited by the church was as follows: Rev. W. J. Nelson, pastor at Rock Hill; Rev. C. A Jones, pastor at Bennettsville; \ Rev. Edw. S. Reaves, pastor at Honea Path, and Rev. S. P. Hair. : j The candidates were publicly ex-1 I amined on Saturday as to their conversion, call to the ministry! I and doctrinal views. The seri vices of ordination were held on ! 1 Sunday. The ordaining prayer! was offered by Rev. Edw. S. j Reaves, the charge was delivered by Rev. C. A. Jones and the sermon by Rev. Edw. & Reaves, j Messrs. Barber and Epps have indicated their purpose to go to the foreign field and are graduates of Furman University. Mr. Bailes is a member of next year's senior class. All of the young men give promise of great usefulness. The services were largely attended and very impressive. Sod Death at Pineville. Miss Annie Withers, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Withers, died Wednesday evening at her home in Pineville, after an illness of many weeks of typhoid fever. Miss Withers was about 25 years of age and besides her parents is survived by several brothers and sisters. The funeral service was conducted from Flint Hill church Thursday afternoon by the pastor, Rev. S. P. Hair. The burial was in the church yard. It is difficult to pay a fitting tribute to the memory of so noble a young woman?one whose everyday life was embellished by the most charming and lovable attributes of her sex. A perfect lady at all times?under all circumstances, she seemed born to inspire the love and respect of all who were so fortunate as to be acquainted with her, and when sickness came to her, as it comes to all, neighbors and friends vied with each other in acts of loving kindness, but love and skill were of no avail. The great destroyer had placed his signet on her brow and today hundreds who loved her in life, mourn her dead. Honrs for Nail Delivery.

C., was dedicated last | Sunday, when an elaborate program was carried out. Rev. W. E. Mcllwaine is the present pastor. Banks church was formerly organized in May, 1891, and since that time has had several pastors, among the number being Rev. Dr. J. B. Mack, of Fort j Mill. Prior to 1875, when services were held in Wolfsville academy, Rev. Wm. Banks, from Bethel Presbytery, in this State, was delegated to preach to the new congregation which existed until 1891 without having its own house of worship. Then j it was that Banks church was formally organized under the supervision of presbytery, and since that time the congregation has grown steadly in numbers; and influence. In the fall of 1910 it was determined to build a new house of worship. A building committee consisting of Messrs. Wm. E. Mcllwaine, 0. W. Potts and Samuel H. Kell, was appointed, and, as a result of their labors, the congregation now has one of the handsomest country churches in that section. Paraon'a Poem A Gem. From Rev. H.

Picnics and parties are quite , common now, and the "young 1 fry" seem to be on double duty, and of course there is a lot of sparking going on. Messrs. Crook, Kimbrell and Warren have finished threshing. They report crops light and seating, as an old timer used to say. We have had fine seasons of late and crop prospects are much improved. We are in receipt of a letter .j enn in TpyS? Hfi tHveS 11 win c* ouii in a -? 0- quite a gloomy account of crop conditions in that State, especially of corn. He says that hundreds of farmers will not get their seed back, and that he had 16 acres in corn and woulft not make one bushel. He had 75 acres in cotton which was fine, but was destroyed by hail on the 2nd inst. So thi^ reminds us that Texas hasn't^ll the good things.
