SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Parks returned Thursday to Culpeper, Va., after a short visit to relatives in Fort Mill. Generally fair weather for the present week the country over wa3 the forecast Sunday night of the weather bureau at Washington. Mrs. Ida Lodge and two little daughters returned to Savannah Sunday, after a pleasant visit of several weeks at the home in this city of Mrs. Chas. McNeely, a sister of Mrs. Lodge. To the pleasure of her many friends here, Miss Catherine Frank returned to Fort Mill Tuesday from Baltimore and will again have charge of the millinery room of Meacham & Epps. Richard Fulp. a popular young Fort Millian, left Monday morning for Charloote, where he is to look after the city trade of R. H. Field & Co., a wholesale concern. Mr. Fulp's friends wish him success in his new position. Little Ruth, the 5-year-old daughter J of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Parks, died | Friday, after a week's illness, and was Cotnwlau in tli.. tnuin I'pmctcrV. UUilCU UOVUIUUJ V..V " J - , The funeral service was conducted by Rev. T. J. White, of the Methodist church. The Fort Mill friends of Mr. Craig Fite will regret to learn that he is ill of fever at the Charlotte Sanatarium. It is pleasing to note, however, that Mr. Fite is improving and it is believed he will be able to leave the sanatarium within a few days. The bridge over Big Sugar creek, a few miles west of Pineville, was badly demolished by the deluge of last Tuesl day, the commissioners of the county ordering a force of hands to the scene j [ Thursday to make immediate repairs in order to put the structure in safe condition again. Farmers and others interested in the building and maintenance of good roads should make arrangements to go over to Rock Hill Saturday, wnen the Southern Railway's good roads train will : IB visit that city. A large crowd is ex- , pected to greet the train and it is to oe I hoped that Fort Mill township will be , largely represented. In speaking of the Beattie conviction, a traveling man -from Richmond slated while in Fort Mill a few days ago, that sentiment in Richmond was almost universal that Beattie was guilty, but . that the evidence brought out did not fully establish the laci. 'the belief that Beattie will get a new trial sterna to be gaining ground each day. The Times was informed bv a Fort Mill man a few days ago that Supervisor Boyd had stated that Yorn county was ready to proceed with the work of building an wooden brioge over* Sugar creek, near the home of Mr. J. S. Kimbrell, two miles east of Fort Mill, if the Lancaster county authorities were ready to erect the structure on the Lancaster side of the stream. Bound trip excursion rates have been authorized by ail the lines from points in South Carolina, and from Augusta, Ga., on account of the re? union of the Red Shirt Men of '76, which will be held at Columbia, September 27 and 28. Tickets will be sold September 25,26, 27 and 28, and limited for return until September 30. The rate from Fort Mill has not been announced. The Rev. Grady Hardin, of Rock Hill, arrived in Fort Mill Monday and is assisting Rev. T. J. White in a pro- , traded meeting which began at the Fort Mill Methodist church Sunday v morning. Services are held twice daily, i at 3:30 in the afternoon and 8 o'clock at night, and the meeting is to continue i through Sunday. The public is cordially invited to attend the services. Rev. Dr. R. M. Stevenson, for a # number of years pastor of Clover A. R. P. church, this county, has accepted a call to Due West, and on Sun- ( day evening preached his farewell sermon to the Clover congregation. Dr. Stevenson actepted the call to Bethany church in 1887. In 1892 he organized Crowder's Creek church and in 1893 he organized Clover church. He had had charge of the three churches up to the time of his resignation. A marriage of interest to- many friends in this city took place in Rock 1 Hill Thursday afternoon at the residence of Mr. J. B. Creighton, when his sister, Miss Arabelle, was married to Mr. J. L. Carterof Mecklenburg county. The ceremony took place at 5:30 o'clock in the presence of only the family ami a few very intimate friends. Rev. T. C. O'Dell officiating. Mrs. Carter is well known in Fort Mill, having frequently visited relatives in the township. The early closing movement agreed upon by the merchants of the city to continue through the summer months, came to a close with the past week and some of the stores again remain open as late as 10 o'clock. During the month of July and Auguest the stores closed at 7 o'clock, the clerks being allowed the rest of the afternoon and early evening olf. Now that the fall trade is opening up, and the days are growing shorter, the stores most of them, at least?will remain open until 8o'clock or later. Considerable delay in the work of the local graded school is being caused by the non-arrival of the new books adopted recently by the Mate board of education. The reason given is that the publishers have not been able to manufacture and ship the books as 1 _ promptly as had been expected. Over Y ?- KKNorth Carolina, where a new list of text books was also recently adopted, the schools are said to be experiencing a similar trouble. Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Withers arrivtd in Fort Mill Sunday morning and artspending the week at the home of Mrs. Lizzie Withers on Booth street. Si-me time ago Mr. Withers was appointed by the governor of Florida as a State representative to a meeting in Richmond of the International Tax Congress and it was upon his return to Lady Lake, Florida, that he decided to visit relatives here. Mr. Withers is a prominent citizen both in a business and political way in Florida, having represented Lake county in the State senate for the past ten years. Of interest to many Fort Mill people is the announcement of tne approaching marriage of Mr. Stonewall J. Kimball and Miss Carrie Adams, both of Rock Hill. The marriage is to take place at 7:30 o'clock the evening of September 21 at the home of the brideto-be in Rock Hill. Miss Adams, a daughter of Mrs. M. H. A lams, is a young woman who by her sweet disposition has endeared herselt to all who know her. Mr. Kimball is the well known stockman of Rock Hill and enjoys the friendship of the people throughout the State. ?*. ;> \ / r ? Miss Ella Rodgers and Miss Nina Barnett, of Rock Hill, are visiting the latter's sister at Lancaster. The best price paid for cotton on the local market yesterday was 11.60 cents. Seed brought 30 cents per bushel. L. J. Massey left Monday night for Baltimore and New York to buy fall and winter goods for his department store. L. L. Worrell, formerly overseer of weaving in one of the Fort Mill cotton mills, has accepted a similar position with the Avon mill at Gastonia. Messrs. F. R. Riddle, of Bowling Green, and Willie Ratchford, of Bullock's Creek, are the guests at the home of Rev. W. A. Hafner. Miss Bertha Massey left Fort Mill Monday for Linwood college, Gaston county, N. C., in which institution she will teach during the session which opened yesterday. B. M. Howie, a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Howie of Fort Mill, has resigned the position of overseer of weaving at the Huntersville cotton mill and is now holding a similar position with the Cannon mill at Concord. The first meeting of the season of the local chapter D. A. R. was held Wo^nno/lair offu r\T?P, at tKo hnmP ia.ii ?? cuncouaj oi^tuwu m? ?*?v ? ? of Mrs. W. E. Cunningham in the l*rovidence section, about eight miles east of Fort Mill. The topic of the meeting was the "Indians of South Carolina." An interesting paper was read by Miss Zoe White on the Catawba j Indians, aftei which a discussion on the Indian race in America today was held, j Not the least enjoyable feature of the I occasion was the serving of delightful ; refreshments. The hostess was as- ; sisted by Mrs. Walter Robinson and ' Mrs. Henderson Barber. Change in the Mail Service. Postmaster B. H. Massey on Tuesday received information from the office of the chief mail clerk in Charleston of a change soon to be made in the mail service of the Charlotte and Columbia division that is of great importance to the people of Fort Mill and other towns along the line, and is as follows: Effective Friday, September 15, mail service will be discontinued on southbound train No. 35, due at Fort Mill at , 7:15 a. m., and effective Sunday, September 17, mail service will be discontinued on Sundays on trains No. 27 1 and 2K, due respectively at Fort Mill at 5:15 and 6:35 p. m. By the mw arrangement it will be j seen that through the week Fort Mill will have only cue mail south daily, j while cn Sundays there will be only one mail each way. However, it is the j hope of Postmaster Massey to have a lock pouch deliver* d to Fort Mill daily from the morniig train. No. 35, which will enable the people here to receive the morning papers something like two hours earlier than otherwise. The reason given for the discontinu- I anee of mail service on these trains is a scarcity of mail clerks on the division. Would Have Governor Impeached. > The New York World a few days ago carried the announcement that J. j Archie Willis, of Anderson, through an I attorney, was preparing to institute i impeachment proceedings against Gov- ' ernor Coleman Livingston Blease, of South Carolina. This case will no doubt be watched with a great deal of interest not only by the people of South Carolina, but , other States. It will be remembered that some time ago Mr. Willis in an article published in his paper, the Belton Times, charged that Governor ! Blease spoke discourteously to the lady in the ticket office at Belton. Mr. Willis is a member of the South Carolina Legislature from Anderson county and is well known tnroughout j the State. A few years ago Mr. Willis taught ?i?i C?? ?a scnuui in run mm auu mo mcuuo uttv i will watch with interest the outcome i of the proceedings which he will insti- ! tute. Carolina Mutual Absorbed. It became known in this city yesterday, says the Gaffney Ledger, that the Carolina Mutual Insu-ance company of this city had been consolidated with the Farmers' Mutual Insurance Association of Yorkville and that the company would, in the future, be conducted under the latter name, the home offices being in Yorkville. It was impossible to ascertain yesterday whether or not the company would decide to maintain a branch office in this city. Chief Justice Jones Resigns. Ira. It. Jones of Lancaster, chief justice of the Statt supreme court, Monday tendered his resignation, to take effect January 9, 1912. In many quarters this is taken as a very strong indication that Mr. Jones will announce his candidacy for the governorship in opposition to Cole L. Biease, the incumbent, who has stated tnat he intends to seek reelection. Announces His Candidacy. The Lancaster News received on Tuesday the following statement f-om Chief Justice Ira E. Jones, who oi. Monday forwarded his resignation, effective in January, to the governor. "The Lancaster News: You are authorized to state that if Providence permits, 1 will certainly be a candidate in the primary next August for nomination as governor. (Signed) "IRA B. JONES." Cars for the Ioterurban. Four freight cars, with big letters painted on them blazoning the fact that they are destined for service on the Piedmont & Northern Railway line, have reached Charlotte. These are the first cars received for the interurban and will be followed by a score or more in a few week-. These cars resemble the regular railway freight cars and are of interest only as indicating something of the status of the work on the interurban. Fine progress is being made all along the line from Charlotte to Gastonia, the present development in Gaston county being more noteworthy than that in Mecklenburg owing to the heaviness of the construction. It is planned to proceed so that the line may be finished about the same time. No fears are entertained save for the two big steel bridges, one over the Catawba at Mount llollv and the other over the South Fork above McAdenviile, which may delay operations a little. This is only an apprehtnsion, however, and effort is being made to forestall any possible delays. Christmas shoppers will be brought into Charlotte by the hundreds and thousands from all over Gaston county by way of the interurbsn. And there are some who hope that the line may be j finished in time for Thanksgiving. j TV- * Buyin A A r Meat The r 2f men " Amer; 15" suit! are sun get satis They ki garmen its styli I wear w mentwi absolute t change.

Brat- i ton, petitioner in re Bun Brydges, man- < ager,' the court consented to take j chaige of the affairs of the Bratton farm and to appoint a receiver, who will be required to give bond in the sum ( of $5,000. i Farmers in this vicinity are about t through pulling fodder and are now j ( busy picking cotton. Generally speak- | i. ? there is more open cotton than is ; < usuu' at this season of the year. A ( great u ?1 of cotton has been put on this markt during the past few days, < the price ra. Ting around 111-2 cents. The "Amuse iTheatre," which is lo- , cated in the \ B. Moore building < opposite the Loai & Savings bank, had , ' a right disastrous ire last Wednesday nignt about 8 o'cloi Mr. John Dob- ( son, the proprietor, was operating his moving-picture mac ine, when in removing a piece of Jrned out carbon J he tossed the carb n into a corner! < where there was a 'ot of paper and some celluloid films. The latter soon caught fire and for time it seemed that the entire building would be burned. The tire di p irtment responded promptly to the ia 1 and in a very few minutes had extinguished the dames. The damage to the building was slight, except the breaking of the plate glass windows in the iront. Mr. Dobson estimated his loss at $21)0. Yorkville is to have a new bank, the promoters of the institution having applied to the secretary of State lor a charter. The capital stocx is to be with privilege of increasing to b.doo. The name of the new baiiiv will be the Farmer's and Merchant's Bank anu Trust Co. '1 he onicers are , J. M. Mroup, | resident, W. VV. Lewis, vie.* president and A. M. liaudon, cusnier. Plans are on foot for the opening of a lirst-cluis restaurant and lunch room in Yorkvilie, and while the promoters can not be learned at this time it seems an almost assured fact that the town will soon have an establishment of this kind that will rank second to none in this seceion. | Geo.
