From all sections of the township report says that mosquitoes are unusually Dad this year. In Fort Mill it is a near mpossibility to get anything like a light's rest unless some precaution is taken against these buzzing pests. Various remedies have been tried by jur people, but in each instance reported the skeeter has come out victorious. About the best remedy we have found is to sleep with one eye open and give the intruder a square and fair tight.

The Fall Opening*. This is opening week with the dress goods and millinery stores of Fort Mill and throngs of ladies, including many from every section of the township and from nearby communities, have visited the stores to inspect and purchase the new things in dress and headgear. If expressions and exclamations are good signs of approval, our merchants have reason to be well pleased with the result of their efforts. The stores are tastefully decorated and the artistic I draping of the season's new fabrics and trimmings make a splendid impression E on the critical eye. The openings this I --1- ?

Marshall's "Cavalry" at the Reunion. In the Red Shirt reunion held in Columbia on Wednesday and Thursday of last week Marshall's Red Shirt cavalry I of Fort Mill had the distinction of being I the largest single organization in the '' parade, as many as oU members of the "cavalry" being in the line of march. York county's representation at the reunion would have been very small indeed but for the presence of the local "cavalry" and it is a source of gratification to members of the organization and their friends to know that no other " community in the State manifested as much interest in the annual meeting of . "the boys of '76" as Fort Mill. All who attended the reunion from this section were pleased with the ar- I rangements that had been made for their entertainment, though the inabili- ' ty of Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, to be present was a distinct iisappointment. Senator Williams' rep ?-> militant JIUIU7IJ ud an v/iuwm wiiv* v..v . leader of the Democrats in the United ! States Senate is well known in South Carolina and the speech he was to have lelivered to the survivors of the orgunzalion that redeemed the State from Republican rule 35 years ago was anticipated with a great deal of pleasure. However, the speech of Governor [{lease pleased many of the Red Shirts md was considered a feature of the reunion. From the County Seat. Correspondence Fort Mill Times. Yorkville, Oct. 2. Mr. J. L. Williams, a highly respected merchant of Yorkville, died at his home on North Congress street, this city, last Wednes- day afternoon, after an illness of six T weeks of Bright's disease. Mr. Wil- J liams was about 54 years of age and j leaves a wife and two sons, Ganson and Carl, the former a student of Clemson college and the latter a pupil in the Yorkville graded school. Mr. Williams was originally from Lancaster county. where for a number 01 years ne enpaged in the mercantile business at Kershaw and Lancaster, coming to Yorkville in the spring of lt?H) to take charge of the firm of the J. M. Heath Co., and later with the succeeding cor- g poration, the Yorkville Banking and Mercantile company, but retired from the position in the fall of 190t> to form the J. L. Williams company, with which he was identified at the time of his death. Mr. Williams had a lot of friends in Yorkville and vicinity as well as elsewhere who will be pained to learn of his death. Interment was in Laurelwood cemetery, Rock Hill, after services by Revs. E. E. Gillespie, J. F. Anderson and J. L. Gates. Very little cotton is being sold on this market since the price went to 10 cents.
