SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. Miss Maye Blankenship was the guest the past week of Miss Aileen Harris. Miss Kittie Kirkpatrick is visiting her sister, Mrs. Graham, in Greenville. The best price for cotton on the Fort Mill market yesterday was 111-<1 cents. Miss Aileen Harris leaves this week to teach in the high school in Greensboro, N. C. Mrs. G. S. Thompson and children, j of Greensboro, N. C., are visiting rela- j tives in Fort Mill. Mrs. N. Atwater ha* returned t< Fort Mill, after a month's visit at Conway and Myrtle beach. Mrs. T. E. ?1 arpe and children, o' Greenville, are guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Potts. * S. A. Epps has been in the Northerr markets for two weiks buying the fal; and winter stock for his firm. Miss Edna Harri.s, after sending tin summer at Monteagie, Tenn., is now teaching in the graded school at Gcamling, S. C. Mrs. W. F. Harris and Mrs. Free' Harris, with the latter's father, Mr. J. D. Taylor, spent several days in Charleston the past week. T. N. Lemond and family have moved from Gratton to Fort Mill and are occupying the Norman cottage at the corner of Booth and Forest streets. The only observance Monday of Labor Day in Fort Mill was at the postoffice, which kept Sunday hours, and with the rural mail carriers, who took a holiday. The Baptists of the town have recently added much to the appearance of the church yard on Church street by the building of concrete steps from the stieet to the yard and the laying of cement walks from the church to the street. * The Times has recently completed the 1911-12 Year Bock of the local chapter D. A. R. This organization meets once a month during the winter with the members. The program for 1911-12 . is very interesting and promises for the members a season of much pleasure and profit. The laying of cement on a number of Fort Mill streets, wh'ch was begun several weeks ago, has progressed rapidlv and Foreman Smith thinks that he will be able during the week to complete the work contracted for. The cement walks add much to ihe appear ance of the streets. | Reports from the lower counties of the State are to the effect that the cotton and rice crops were badly damaged by the storm which struck that section early last week. Cotton stalks were broken and much of the open cotton was beaten out of the bolls, while the rice was blown down by the high winds. The ginnery of the Fo?-t Mill Manufacturing Co., west of the Southern railroad, began operations several days ago. The gins have not been kept busy up to this time, but within a week it is expected that the ginnery will he taxed to its full capacity. All of the cotton thus far ginned has bet n marketed. The annual fa'l meeting at the Fort Mill Presbyterian church will begin tomorrow (Friday) morning at 11 o'clock and continue, with services each morning and evening, through Sunday. Communion services will he held Sunday morning. The pastor. Rev. W. A. Hafner, will 1 e assisted in the meeting by Rev. F. W. Gregg, of Rock Hill. Qnite a number of Fort Mill men have expressed their intention of attending that part of the jrost-series of ball games to be played in Columbia between the Coiumma anci toiumnus teams of the S. A. L. The post-series will begin on next Monday in Columbus and it is presumed the teams will come to Columbia the latter part of next week. An alternative sentence of $100 fine has been granted by Governor Rlease | in commuting the sentence of John L. Ashe, convicted in November, 1910, before Judge Moore, in the York county courts, of breach of trust with fraudulent intent. Ashe was sentenced to six months imprisonment. The commutation makes the sentence $100 tine or six months imprisonment. One of the most di lightful social affairs of the past month was an at home given by Miss Sue Rradford at her home on East Booth street last Wednesday evening. Miss Carrie Culp presided at the punch bowl, in an attractive creation of flowers and Japanese lanterns in one end of the porch. About 25 couples enjoyed the evening. The opening e*ercises of the local graded school were held Monday morning with an encouraging and enthusiastic enrollment of pupils and a large number of trustees, patrons and friends present. Each member of the faculty, Supt. E. W. Moore, Misses Jesse Wilson, Minnie Garrison. Helen Ardrey, Mabel Hinshaw. Isabel Grier, Susie White and Annie Link, was present. Corporal Geo. Potts, a member of the Fort Mill Light Infantry, return*d Friday evening from Camp Perry. Ohio, where with other members of the State rifle, team he had engagt d in a ten-day national rifle contest. Corporal Potts, as with the oflicers of the local company, is much pleased over the fact that he ranked second in the team of crack shots which South Carolina sent to the national contest.

O 9 Sad Death of a Little Girl. Little Johnsie Branson, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. (.'has. 11. Branson, of Canton, N. C., died Friday evening at a hospital in Asheville, N. alter a week's illness of typhoid fever. The remains, accompanied by the. family, arrived in Fort Mill Sunday morning and were interred in the city cemetery, ,after services at the Presbyterian church by the pastor, Ilev. W. A. Hafner. The intelligence of the death of little Johnsie came as a great shock to the Fort Mill friends of the family, as none knew of the little girl's illness, and particularly sad was her death to the '' *' [( ' children, who, until about a year ago, ' when the family moved away from Fort Mill, had associated with and j learned to love little Johnsie. Bright, happy and cheerful, Johnsie carried sunshine wherever she went. 1 She always had a smile and a pleasant word for her friends and was a favorite among the children. The death Friday of little Johnsie wa3 indeed a sad dispensation of Providence. What One Negro Has Accomplished. A Hock Hill special to The State says that Mayor John T. Roddey has bought; the Henry Toole business block on east Main street for $17,000. This is a sim- 1 pie announcement, but behind it is a story that should prove interi sting! to people all over South Carolina. Henry Toole is a negro; at the same time >s one of the most substantial and respectable citizens of Rock Hill?in fact, he is one of the incorporators of the old town of Rock Hill, 1 for even at the birth of the town he was a freeholder. He iB a barber and for 41 years he has followed that trade intil a few months ago, when he sold his shop. Henrv has been courteous and in lustricus all of his life and he holds the esteem of every white man in Rock Hill. During Reconstruction days he was connected with the Ku Klux Klan. He served 42 days in the jail at Columbia for participation in that affair and has I regularly voted the Democratic ticket: since then, and has always attended . the White Episcopal church here. He owns a fine plantation in York county and another one in Lancaster, and oesides his home here he is possessed of other property. He is a splendid example of what a negro can accomplish. Mrs. M. W. Grigg Dead. Mrs. M. W. Grigg, wife of Dr. M. I W. Grigg, formerly of Fort Mill, died Ausust 29th at a Shelby, N. C., hosi pital, after a week's severe illness, during which two operations were necessary. She leaves a husband, eleven children and a large number of relatives | and friends to mourn their los3. Mrs. Grigg's devotion for her hus- j band and children won the hearts of ' ! all who knew her. She lived a devout J Christian life, never failing to sacrifice i J her own pleasures to promote the cause ! of her church or the kingdom of Christ. She bore her sufferings as only a true ( Christian can; putting her trust in Him whose word and command she followed j through all the toils of her life. As the end drew near her faith grew , stronger, and her parting words to the fnenJs who gathered round were to meet her in heaven. Although she is passed away, the good works and kind deeds that she has done will ever live in the hearts of all who knew her, and ; to the bereaved husband and children we all extend our sincere sympathy. Mrs. Williams. The Bridge at Ivey's Mill. Mr. John A. Kell says that work has i been commenced on the new bridge over the Catawba at Ivey's mill. This bridge is about nine miles south of Pineville and about seven miles east of Rock Hill, S. C. Mr. Kell thinks that: it will be finished by December and that this will then give a new route r'hurli.tt*. tn Tfnek Hill. Mr. Kell lives on the old Charlotte-Lancaster | stage road and he thinks that this new I bridge will develop considerable new , travel between Rock Hill and Charlotte, i The facilities for getting from one side of the Catawba to the other are now very good. There are six tine bridges in this general section on this one stream either finished or in process I of construction. These are the bridge | on the Camden road leading to Colum; bia, the Ivey's mill bridge, now being built, nine miles south of Pineville and seven miles east of Rock Hill; Culp j bridge below Catawba dam en route to Fort Mill; Sloan's ferry bridge, concrete, just started; Rozzell s ferry 1 bridge, steel, finished, and the MooresI ville bridge, finished. The facilities are such that motorists will have no trouble at aluin crossing the Catawba at almost any point.?Charlotte Ob-: , server. Deterioration in State's Cotton Crop. Basing its views upon reports from correspondents in nearly all of the ' counties in South Carolina, the Columbia State on Monday had this to say of j the season's cotton crop. "Reports from all sections of the j State show that there has been within the past few weeks a very serious de - - - - tertoration in me couon crop, wmtn the middle of J uly promised, in spite of the drought, to produce a normal yield. The continued drought, followed by unseasonable weather, the damage done by the storm a week ago and continued and heavy rains, which came at the j worst time for the cotton planters, have combined to cut the State's cotton crop very materially. The yield I will probably be from 25 to 23 per cent. I I below normal. "Reports of deterioration from nearly every county and of damage make it certain that the crop this year will be ve ry short, aud while six weeks ago a normal yield was indicated, it is now hardly possible that in the State more than a two-thirds crop will be made. "in many sections cotton is opening | rapidly and immediate marketing seems to be the order. In other sections the i j rains have prevented picking, and the , cotton is rottening in the bur. In those sections which were damaged most by j the storm the cotton crop has been practically ruined. In only a few coun' ties do the farmers now expect to produce anything like an average yield, , and, taking the situation as a whole, the cotton crop seems to have been cut at least one-fourth." . , , License No Good In Another County. A new phase in the marriage license law came to lieht in Richland county a few days ago when the judge of probate began the entry of recent marriages in that county. He found that a white couple had been married in Lexington county upon authority of a certificate issued by him in Richland. The notary who performed the ceremony did not follow the law as a certificate issued in one county does not authorize the marriage in another county of the holders thereof. The clause was incorporated in the law in order to assist probate ju Iges in keeping complete records of the issue and return of lictnses. Another feature of the law with which some doubtless are not acqaintei! is that part requiring the report or return of each marriage to the probate judge Within 15 days after the performance of the marriage. in Fort Mill, so far as The Times has been able to learn there has not been a marriage since the license law became effective on July 1. Forced to Leave Home. Every year a large number of poor sufferers, whose iungs are sore and racked with coughs, are urged '.o go to another climate, but this is costly and not always sure. There's a better way. Let Dr. King's New Discovery cure you at home. It cured me of lung trouble," writes W. R. Nelson, of Calamine, Ark., "when all else failed and 1 gained 47 pounds in weight. Its surely the king of all cough and lung cures." Thousands owe their lives and health to it. It's positively guaranteed for Coughs, Colds, LaGiiope, Asthma, Croup?all Throat and Lung troubles. > 50c and $1.00.
