After three weeks of excessively

The many Fort Mill friends of

a native of Fort Mill. South

the last two years head pharmacist
0/ the Goldsborough drug
store. There being no invitations
issued, the ceremony was solemnized
by Rev. T. W. Hooper in the
presence of the immediate family
tho hride
Vi W?IV ? ?
"The happy couple left shortly
after the ceremony for the home
of the groom, and an extended
Southern tour. They will reside
in Culpeper in the future."
Mr. and Mrs. Parks passed
through Fort Mill Friday evening
en route to Charleston and are
expected to return the latter
part of the week for a short visit
to Mr. Parks' relatives in this

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.

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
