I SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST * to TIMES READERS. Cotton took a tumble Monday to 91-2 j I tents, just about what it costs to raise K. - Mr. A. A. Bradford, Jr., of ColumI bia, spent Sunday with his parents in I Fort Mill. I Mrs. T. B. Spratt and children and [ Miss Frances Harris are visiting relar tives in Shelby, N. C. fc Mr. J. E. Armstrong has resigned as j overseer of dyeing for the Fort Mill Mfg. company, a position which he has held for several years. Leroy McMurray left Fort Mill Thursday evening for Baltimore, where he will resume his studies in denistry at the University of Maryland. There being no school at Pleasant i Valley academy this fall, several young ladies from that section are attending the Fort Mill graded school. Judging from the receipts this week at the cotton platform, there was very , little of the 91-2 cent variety of cotton ! planted in this vicinity this year. The celebrated United States Marine band, which is making a six weeks' tqur of the South, will give a concert in Rock Hill on Wednesday, October 25. The Orangeburg Times and Democrat says that Mr. Mason Crum will leave there in a few days for Harvard university and will pursue post-graduate work at that institution. Mr. Osmond Barber has sold his intuit in tht. Rnrhwr Aforrnntile Com r pany, of Barbersville, to his brother, ! | Mr. T. H. Barber, who will personally f conduct the business in the future. Where the juvenile customer had heretofore been accustomed to receive 10 sticks of candy for his nickel, he will soon get bin eight, all because of the2-cent jump in the price of sugar j recently. Miss Minnie Yarborough, formerly a teacher in the Fort Mill graded school spent several days of the past week with friends in this city. Miss YarI borough is attending college in New York City. Next week the dry goods and millinery stores of the town will hold their fall openings. The ladies should read the advertisements of the stores in this issue and be on hand to see the new goods that will be on display. The Charlotte Observer says that final arrangements have not been made (or the demonstration of the PriceCampbell cotton-picking machine, and it will not occur earlier than Friday, | according to the present outlook. A called meeting of Bethel presbytery was held at Yorkville a few days ' ago at which the pastoral relations between Rev. M. Stevenson and the con- 1 gregations of Clover, Bethany and Crowder's Creek churches were dis- , solved. Winthrop college opened Wednesday of last week with an enrollment of 730 students, the largest in the history of |; the institution. Some five or six hundred others wlio desired to enter the college could not be taken on account J of a lack of dormitory room. y! The Southern Railway several days < %go announced round trip rates from ! all points within South Carolina to Columbia on account of the Red Shirt reunion, now in progress, at the rate of one cent a mile for each mile traveled. This would give a round trip rate from . Fort Mill at about $1.90. The Charlotte papers a few days ago told of the death at a hospital in that city of Rob Porter, the Providence negro who was shot three times by Manuel Wilson, another negro, at Steel Hill camp ground on Sunday, Septem- j ber 17. The 'limes has not learned whether Wilson has been captured. Mr. Frank Moser, a young man, met I with a bad accident Friday evening, , his right hand being caught in the I . Helms gin on the Sistare place north of Lancaster. Portions of two fingers | were cut off and the remaining ones ; J badly mangled. He was brought to town, where his wounds were dressed | by Dr. Foster.?Lancaster News. ( Friends of Rev. Dr. J. B. Msck will 1 be pained to learn that he was stricken { with paralysis a few days ago, the 1 stroke affecting the power of sensation 1 in the right side of his face and thereby impeding his speech. Yesterday 1 Dr. Mack was able to be on the streets, < hnwavpr nnd it is hotted that he will 1 have entirely recovered within a few 1 days. The receipts at the local cotton plut- j form have fallen off considerably during the past few days on account of the continued downward trend of prices. Many of the farmers are storing their cotton in the cotton warehouse and others haul the staple home and will hold it for higher prices. There has also been a great slump in tfe sale of seed during the week for a similar reason. The contract that has been let in Charlotte for the construction of freight and passenger stations between , Charlotte and King's Mountain, for the ( interurban railway, will oe the largest of any along the line. The contract, , however, calls only for the erection of the freight station in C harlotte. The approximate cost of the work will be $50,000. The contract was awarded to J. A. Jones, a Charlotte contractor. At the call of Commissioner of Agriculture E. J. Watson and President E. W. Dabbs, of the State Farmers' Union, meetings attended by cotton grow. ers, bankers, merchants and other bus? iness men were held Monday in a + k Pai?/\linQ tnurnQ thp IlUIHUf 1 UI ouuiu V/aiviuiu .... object being to formulate plans and devise means for assisting the farmers in their effort to hold cotton for better prices, and to appoint delegates to the State convention in Columbia today. There are very few |x*ople in Hock Hill who are not anxiously awaiting to see the electric cars spinning through the city, and from present indications it will not be long before that wish has been satisfied. The first shipment of crossties have been received in the city and the rails are expected to arrive every day. Work, it is rumored, will be commenced first on York avenue, a street running west from Oakland avenue, above Winthrop college. Rock Hill Herald. , "Little Joe" in the Race. Former Governor Joseph M. Brown, who was defeated for re-election by Governor Hoke Smith, Saturday announced his candidacy for the governorship, to be made vacant when Governor Smith resigns next month to assume his duties as United States senator. This makes three candidates in the field, the others being Judge R. B. Russell and J. Pope Brown. 7W-' ' nnpg / Brutal Affair in Mecklenburg. In the Charlotte Observer of Tuesday is found an account of a very brutal affair that took place at the home of a negro woman-, Eldora Link, four miles from Charlotte, Sunday night, in which the woman and her husband had their hands chopped off above their wrists. Adam Sigrnon, colored, is a cousin of Eldora Link. He went to her home Sunday afternoon and was invited to spend the night. He accepted? They retired early. Some time after midnight, between 1 and 2 o'clpck, the woman was awakened by Sigmon, who stood over her with a heavy axe. He struck the woman across the head, making an almost fatal wound. Her screams had awakened her husband, but a single blow hurled Will Link into iriseqpibility. When they recovered consciousness they found that the hands of both had been chopped off above their wrists, and cuts down their becks had been inflicted. The two managed to shout for help and were heard by Henry Link, who responed. Dr. Leighton Hovis was instantly summoned and labored faithfully for three hours at the difficult task of sewing up their terrible wounds. He thinks the negroes have a chance to recover, although they must have lost much blood before their plight was discovered, in addition to the nervous shock of such an encounter. > Dispensary Label Cases in Court. L. W. Boykm and John Bell Towill, j former members of the State liquor . dispensary board. W. O. Tatum, former commissioner of the dispensary; M. A. ; Goodman, a liquor salesman, and Den- j nis Weiskopf, a Cincinnati business man, were placed on trial Monday in Columbia on a charge of conspiring to , defraud the State. The case had been on the docket several years. It is alleged that Boykin, Towill and Tatum, as members of the dispensary board, through Goodman and Weiskpof, purchased from a Cincinnati concern $35,000 worth of labels for whiskey) bottles and that $22,000 of this amount was returned to the State officers as "graft." The supply of labels bought in 1905 was enough to last the State ten years. An Approaching Marriage. Invitations reading as follows were received in Fort Mill Saturday: Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Henry Abernathy invite you to be present at the marriage of their daughter Eula Bird to Mr. Grover C. Kimbrell the afternoon of Thursday, October 5, at three o'clock at their home Shelby, North Carolina. Mr. Rimhrell is a son or Mr. ana ; Mrs. J. L. Kimbrell, of Gold Hill, and has many friends in this section who will be interested in the above announcement. Champion Cotton-Picking Family. The family of Mr. J. D. McCorkle, nf Steel Creek, stards unchallenged as the champion cotton-picking family nf the county, and, perhaps of the State, says the Charlotte News. The Jther day four members of the family picked 1,528 pounds of cotton, enough to make a heavy bale. The above amount was picked in 5ne day by four of Mr. McCorkle's 30ns, namely, Roy, Ben, Cecil and Harvey. The quantity picked by each one 1 was as follows: Roy, 429: Ben, 394; Cecil, 3K8, and Harvey 337 pounds. When Will Frost Come? Farmers throughout the cotton belt are this year much interested in the first killing frost. On account of peculiar .weather conditions the past summer the farmers expect a much larger yield of cotton should the frost Isold off well along in November. In South Carolina the season has been a decidedly peculiar one. Continued j drought during the middle summer prevented the early growth of blooms, and 1 caused shedding of the smaller bolls J and squares during the "arly days of August. Rains which came fairly leavily between the 15th and 25th of a August gave the cotton a new start, Q io that many new blooms and squares lave been put forth, and are rapidly j ipproaching maturity. The question 1 0 vith farmers is now whether this 'top" crop, or what portion thereof; g vill come to maturity before the first : 'rost falls. a According to the weather maps in jj he office of the federal department r >f agriculture, the earliest killing :rosts ever recorded by the govern- s Tient observers in South Carolina were fi >n October 10th for the upper section, . October 20 for the central and November 1 for the !< wer. The average first frost date, accordidg to the map, in South Carolina, is November 1 to f?, for the upper sections. Farmers who are familiar with the time consumed ? by the cotton boll from the bloom to ' I maturity can figure out their "top" ' crop yields by some such data. Clark Talks of Reciprocity. When Champ Clark, speaker ot the national house of representatives was asked if his supposed humorous re- 3 marks about annexation at a banquet '] some time ago had not aided in the de- . feat of reciprocity by Canada, Mi. Clark wrote the following statement: ^ "My remarks about annexation did i not do half as much to defeat reciprocity in Canada as did President ^ Taft's speech, in which he insisted \ upon hurrying up agreeing to recip- s witv in rhi? rnnntrv before Great Britain could establish her imperial policy of tariff with preferential rates i for the colonies. "He and I were both quoted by the anti-reciprocity crowd in Canada, he | more than I, but the chances are that the quotations from his speeches and mine did not have half so much to do with defeating reciprocity as did the corrupting funds sent from both this country and Great Britain into Canada." Tillman's Return. A dispatch from Columbia, S. C., an- . nounces that Senator Tillman, being in ] town, bought two pitchforks for use on ( his plantation and announced his can- i didacy for another term in the senate. 1 Should he be reelected he will be 1 almost like a ghost in the senate. The * battles in which he took part in his 1 prime are all erded. The friends that J stood by him and the foes that fought \ him alike are gone. Yet no one would j be likely to accuse the old statesman ] of "lagging superfluous on the stage." I He has always been a brave, stalwart ( fighter, and it is doubtful if Carolina ! has a man who could better fill his ( place.? New York World. George Darby, a resident of Chester i county, was lodged in Chester jail Mon- < day morning on a charge of criminal i assault. Darby protests his innocence , of the charge. is.'
