SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST
to TIMES READERS.
Born Monday to Mr. and Mr?. L. S.
Patterson, a daughter.
Mr. J. E. Barber, who has been
spending the summer in the West, will
return in a few days to thia State to
take charge of the Ware Shoals public
school.
After a visit to Mr. and Mrs. E. W.
Russell on Forest street, Mrs. Elizabeth
Neil left Tuesday morning for Pineville,
where she will spend sereral days before
returning to her home in Central
Texas.
Mr. J. W. Barber left yesterday for
a few days' visit to frieikls and schoolmates
at Furman, from where he will
go to Antreville to take charge of the
Antreville high school.
Miss Kate Ardrey left Monday for
* Leesville, in Lexington county, where
she is to teach the present session.
Prof. L. M. Bauknight, formerly principal
of the Fort Mill school, is principal
of the school at Leesville.
The many Fort Mill friends of Miss
Annie Hamilton will regret to learn
that she has been very ill for some
time of typhoid fever at her home in
Union. Late reports, however, state^
that Miss Hamilton was improving.
Mr. D. F. Lee, who for several years
has been the telegraph operator for the
Southern Railway in Fort Mill, has
been transferred to the Chester office.
A more congenial and efficient operator
than Mr. Lee would be hard to find and
his friends here regret his removal to
Chester.
Mr. W. L. Hall Saturday sent to The
Times office a note in which it was
stated that Lonnie Jennings, a young
farmer of Lower Fort Mill, had one day
during the last week picked 424 pounds
of cotton. The cotton was picked on
the plantation of J. P. Crowder and
was weighed by Mr. Crowder's son,
Claude Crowder.
In the court of common pleas at
Yorkville the past week A F. Permenter,
a resident of Fort Mil!, was awarded
damages against the Fort Mill
Manufacturing company in the sum of
$426. This was a suit brought by Permenter
for damages for having his
hand mashed in the machinery of the
defendant company some months ago.
The regular fall teachers' examination
for certificates to teach in the
schools of the State will be held in the
various counties of the State on October
6, according to a letter addressed a
few days ago to the county superintendents
of education of the State by the
State superintendent of education.
Horace Kimbrell, a young son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. J. Kimbrell, suffered a
fracture of his left arm in an accidental
fall near his home one mile south
of town a few clays ago. The young
fellow had gone to a spring and after
taking a bucket of water therefrom
turned to retrace his steps over a footlog
when he lost his footing and fell
across the log with the above result.
During the last few days Congressman
D. E. Finley has shown substantial
interest in the welfare of the Fort
Mill graded school by presenting it with
a number of valuable government;
-?? publications. The books cover a wide '
range of subjects and are sure to prove
of help to both teachers and pupils. A
number of the books are handsomely
bound and add much to the appearance
of the school's library.
Fort Mill negroes returning Sunday
evening from Steel Hill camp ground.
14 miles east of Fort Mill, told of a
shooting scrape that took place there
Sunday in which a negro, Rob Porter,
whose home is in the Providence
neighborhood, was shot three times by
Manuel Wilson, another negro. Porter
was struck by three balls from a magazine
pistol, two of the shots taking
effect in the right thigh and another in
the abdomen, and it was thought that
he could not possibly recover. Wilson
made his escape.
Despite the fact that an abundance
of rain has fallen throughout this section
during the past three weeks,
Catawba river is little if any higher at
present than it was several weeks ago.
At the Southern railway bridge, three
miles south of Fort Mill, the bed of the
stream can be seen many places. The
Southern Power company is again experiencing
tronble in furnishing electric
power to its patrons on account of the
low water, and is running its steam
plants at Greenville and Greensboro
regularly to augment the current from
the plants on Catawba and broad
rivers.
For the second time during the summer
a negro excursion was Thursday
night the scene of a shooting affray
between Fort Mill and Catawba river.
Some time ago, it will be recalled, that
a Rock Hill negro was shot and killed
on a train near Grattan by Officers
Wilson and Eskrige of Charlotte, the
latter himself receiving a dangerous
wound at the hands of the dead negro.
In the affray of Thursday night the
principals were both Charlotte negroes
and one received a pistol shot in the
leg. The negro who was said to have
fired the shot was arrested by Officer
Potts and heid until Saturday, when
upon the failure of the prosecuting
witness to put in appearance, he wareleased.
Bond Election in October.
That the agitation started by The
Times some weeKS ago ior me paving
of Fort Mill's main street will prove
fruitful within the next few months
now appears almost a certainty at
least the voters will in the near future
be called upon to decide whether they
desire Main street paved or whether
the street be allowed to remain as at
present. During the past week a
petition was circulated among the freeholders
of the town to obtain the required
number of signatures for council
to call the election uj>on a bond
issue, and we are told that those who
carried the petition among the people
found little difficulty in getting the required
number and met with very little
opposition to the proposed issue. In
fact, a large majority of the voters expressed
themselves as anxious to get
an opportunity to vote lor this much
needed improvement and without hesitation
affixed their nanus to the petition.
This petition is now in the
hands of the town clerk and at the
next regular meeting of council, the
first Tuesday evening in October, it
will be acted upon. The election upon
the issuance of bonds cannot take piace
until 10 days after council has so
ordered and it will therefore be not
sooner than October 14 when the voters
will have an opportunity to pass upon
the matter. The issue will be for
$4,000, it having been ascertained that
the proposed paving can be done for
this amount. #
Mr. R. G. Pearson Dead.
I Mr. Robt. G. Pearson, one of Fort
! Mill's oldest and best known citizens,
died at his home in Sprattville Saturday
at noon, after a serious illness of a
month's duration. Mr. Pearson was 86
years of age and had been in poor
health for several years, but had been
able to go about until a few weeks ago.
The funeral service was conducted from
the home Sunday morning at 10 o'clock
by the Rev. W. A. Hafner, after which
the remains were interred in the town
cemetery.
Robt. G. Pearson was a native of
North Carolina, having been bom in
| Morganton in 1825. He moved to Fort
Mill 35 years ago and was widely known
as an expert brick and stone mason.
At the outbreak of the Civil war, when
a company was organized at Morganton,
Mr. Pearson was one of the first
to volunteer his services, and afterward
| proved himself to be one of the bravest
soldiers that wore the Confederate
gray. He was in the first battle of the
war and latter took part in several
skirmishes and battles, one of the latter
being the Battle of the Wilderness,
in which he was seriously wounded.
Mr. Pearson is survived by a stepdaughter,
Mrs. C. F. Rodgers, and a
I number of other relatives in this com;
munity.
Cheaper Rate to Reunion.
It will be pleasing news to the mem!
bers of the local Red Shirt organization
as well as to others to know that there
is a strong probability of a cheaper
rate to the reunion in Columbia next
week than that published recently. Col.
| John G. Mobley, ccommander-in-chief
of the Red Shirts of South Carolina, i
visited Columbia Monday and after a
i conference with members of the State
railroad commission gave out the infor- |
matior. that a much lower rate than i
! that already published will be granted
by the railroads to those who wish to , K
attend the reunion. This probably 11
means that the rate will be extremely !
low and that the attendance will be K
large. JI
Good Roads Train at Rock Hill.
The good roads train being operated
by the Southern Railway reached Rock
Hill late Friday afternoon and remained
there until Saturday at noon, when it
went to Yorkville. The crowd at Rock j
Hill it was stated was not as large as
had been expected, but a goodly num1
ber of farmers and others interested in
road improvement were present and all
were much pleased with the lectures
and demonstrations of the experts on
the matter of building and maintaining '
roads. In the crowd were a number of
people from Fort Mill and the township, j
Saturday morning a meeting was held
in Rock Hill at the train and the York
County Good Roads Association was
. formed. Mr. R. T. Fewell was elected
president, with Mr. John E. Williams,
of Ebenezer, first vice president; Mr. j
C. P. Rlankenship of Fort Mill, second |
vice president; Dr. J. H. Saye of
Sharon, third vice president, and Mr.
James S. White of Rock Hill, secretary.
Later a delegate will be elected by the
association to attend the National Good
Roads Association at Richmond, Va.,
in November.
Red Shirt Reunion Next Week.

will be represented at the Red Shirt
reunion to be held in Columbia the
latter part of the month by not less
than 50 members and associate members
of Marshall's Red Shirt cavalry, !
the local organization. A number of
: meetings have been held recently, the \
purpose of which was to work up interI
est in the reunion, and it now seems certain
that the attendance from this
section will be large. Many are anxious
to hear the speech to be delivered
J at the reunion by Senator John Sharp j
Williams, and this feature of the oc- ?
casion is certain to induce some to go ; ~
to the reunion who otherwise would
I not be present. The recent "skin- ,
ning" which Senator Williams gave a]
Senator Heyburn in the United States m,
senate for the latter's reference to the ti
Confederate cause as "infamous," met
with enthusiastic indorsement in this L
section and there are not a few here n
who look upon the Mississippi senator H
as the especial champion of the South. C(

Yorkville, Sept. 18.?Cotton picking 1 w
is the order of the day hereabouts, and
a large number of bales have been
turned out by the community ginneries.
The Clover ginning company reports n(
over 500 bales ginned, Neil's ginnery cl
Fill,..ft Has irinn^d some 3100 bales. til
the Victor Cotton Oil gin at Yorkville fr
| has ginned more than TOO bales, and a aj
number of smaller gins in this section w
have been very busy for the past two j .
weeks. Cotton is about three weeks ^
ahead of last year and generally is
good. A great amount has been sold
011 the local market for a price at and
around 11 1-2 cents. Today's prices are
off slightly from that at which the
staple sold on Saturday.
'ihe Yorkville creamery under the
new management of Wilkins and Clement
is getting along in a first-class F
manner.
The good roads train of the Southern H
Railway visited Yorkville as scheduled
on last Saturday. Some 50 or tk) persons
interested in good roads went (]
down to the depot to see the exhibits .
ami hear the lectures. Mr. Baker, of SI
the public road office, discussed a bond
issue in this county, saving that it was 0
the only way to secure good roads. He
advised the people to organize a county
good roads association to work in the 0
interest of better roads through a bond
issue. The good roads train had speci- &
mens of roads built of sand and clay,
