Typhoid Vaccine Free. Some 1,000 initial "doses" of typhoid vaccine have been distributed to physicians throughout South Carolina by the State health department since the distribution was commenced about two weeks ago. j npgpr V Dr. John Knox Dead. Dr. John Knox of Steele Creek, probably the most widely known physician of this section of the Carolinas and for years the friend and benefactor of rich and poor alike in his section, died Friday afternoon at 6 o'clock at his . home nine miles north of Fort Mill. The burial was made Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock, after services at the home by the Rev. W. A. Cleveland pastor of the Steele Creek Presbyterian church. Dr. Knox had been in bad health for some time and a few weeks ago was operated upon at a Charlotte hospital for an abscess on the neck. He had not fully recovered from the effects of the operation, though his death was the result of his former trouble. Dr. Knox was born in Chester in 1B40. He was a student at Davidson College for several years, giving up his academic course in his junior year for the study of medicine. Dr. Knox was graduated with high honors from Charleston College, and alter securing ms uvcusc, co- ( tablished his headquarters in lower Steele Creek township, where he lived for the remainder of his useful existence. Dr. Knox was married in 1880 to Miss Florence Neeley, who died on May 30 of the present year. He wao a devout member of the Steele Creek Presbyterian church and was an elder there at the time of his death. During the 33 years which he had practiced in the Steel Creek section of the county. Dr. Knox had made innumerable friends by his gentle and unselfish disposition. Without hope of pecuniary remuneration, he had done a large amount of charitable practice among the sick of both races; often providing the medicine in addition to his professional services. The loss of such a man to a communitv cannot be estimated. Red Shirts Reorganize. Marshall's Red Shirt Cavalry, an organization which had much to do in redeeming the State yovernmeni from radical rule in the memorable days of the 70s and early 80s, was reorganized at a meeting Saturday afternoon in the Fort Mill town hall. The meeting was largely attended and in the crowd were many of the men who served with the old guard. Hon. S. H. I Epps, Sr.. presided, and after the purpose of the meeting was explained, the following officers were elected: J. W. Marshall, captain; S. H. Epps, Sr., 1st lieutenant; B. M. Faris, 2nd lieutenant; W. H. Crook, 1st sergeant; J. L. Kimbrell, 2nd sergeant; W. K. Warren, color bearer. A resolution was adopted invititing all Democats who voted the Democratic ticket in 7G, 78 and '80 to join the organization. A second resolution inviting young Democrats to honorary membership was adopted, and a call was issued to all Democrats of the township to attend the Red Shirt rally at Yorkville on Monday, Sept. 4, and the State - reunion at Columbia on Sept. 27 and 28. Hon. J. R. Haile, secretary of < the meeting on Saturday, was 1 instructed to notify J. W. Mar- j shall, now of Rock Hill, of his election as captain. . The next nieetingof Marshall's > Red Shirt Cavalry is called for * Saturday afternoon. Sept. 9, at t which time arrangements will be , perfected for attending the re- c union in Columbia. ? (c Drought Affects Ginning. As the time approaches for I finning cotton, the owners of \ steam gins all through this sec- ; tion are becoming somewhat 1 alarmed due to the scarcity of t water and there are grave fears t expressed if there will be suf- t ticient water for use in the steam i engines for this purpose. The i wells which have hereto supplied the boilers with water have in most cases already gone dry, and others are so low, and the sup- v piy of water so small that it i does not last for very long. a The owners of gins have just 1 awoke to the dilema in which j such conditions will place them, i and they are anxious for copious rains which will furnish the ' * ' < Ti. .. .. j needed suppiy. me siram , that originally took the place of i water gins will have to be re- : placed by the gasoline engine or ; some other means of motive ] power which could be used in safety in ginning cotton. The steam gin was not used to any great extent when they were first introduced in this section on account of the fact that the farmers were afraid of fire. They < were found to be comparatively ; safe however, and they teok tile 1 place of old water driven gins. The water for making steam ( being so scarce at this time, wi 1 probably force the farmers who operate gins to put in gasoline engines and there are some who believe that this means of power will be better than steam driven gins. In the matter of cotton .growing Georgia doubtless ranks among the States which will show the highest percentage of production this dry year. Down at Thomson. Ga., a few days ago. according to a despatch, a farmer exhibited a cotton plant which had on it 900 bolls and blooms. This seems incredible, but an actual count proved the above number correct. The cotton is of a new prolific variety grown in McDuffie county. The stalk in question is of mammoth size and appears to be a prodigy rath- , er than a normal plant j ? f II " ^ &rc<rreMo Clothes.
