solved.
Winthrop college opened Wednesday
of last week with an enrollment of 730
students, the largest in the history of |;

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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- <
