Readers of The Times can help the paper wonderfully by telling the merchants that they saw their wares ad- 1 vertised. It will be but little trouble to our readers and will be greatly appreciated by the publisher. ... i Announcement is made from Pineviile of the engagement of Mr. 6. L. Manson, a prominent citizen of that village, j and Miss Essie McLaughlin, a Charlotte I young lady, the marriage to take place Wednesday, the 18th inst. Fourteen Greeks who hailed from New York City reached Fort Mill Saturday morning and at once went to the plant of the Charlotte Brick com- I puny at Grattan, two miles south of town, where they were put to work. ( The Pineviile correspondent of the Charlotte News says that Pineviile's cotton mill is still idle and that the pretty mill village is deserted. Quite a number of citizens are seeking homes elsewhere and if the threatened exodus is carried out the town will soon be depopulated.

Mrs. ^largaret Porter, one of Steele Creek's most estimable and beloved women, passed away Sunday morning at 7 o'clock, after a lingering illness. Mrs. Porter was about 60 years of age and is survived by four sons and two daughters. The funeral took place at the home Monday nicrning at 10o'clock after which the interment was at Steel Creek Presbyterian church. The question of whether the voters of Fort Mill wish thd town to issue bonds in the sum of $4.1)00 for the improve^ ment of Main street will be decided in v an election which has been ordered by council to be held on next Monday, the 16th. To participate in'this election it will be necessary for the voter to present his city registration certificate for the year 1911. The polls will open at 8 o'clock a. m. and close at 4 o'clock p. m. Pupils of the 7th grade of the local school have completed a nice tennis court on the school grounds and as soon . as the rackets, etc., arrive will spend many pleasant afternoons in playing the game on the new grounds. Miss Helen Ardrey, teacher of the 7th grade, with her pupils, recently spent a day in the country picking cotton and in this way a sufficient amount of money was 1 i ? U Aimnlina fKil rtiiUT raised to lunimii su^iirj ...v court. Southbound passenger train No. 35, due at Fort Mill at 7:15, a. m., was delayed for more than hour Thursday | morning on account of the train having Btruck a wagon load of colored cotton pickers at a crossing a few miles south of Charlotte. None of the negroes | were killed, for a wonder, but both mules were so badly injured that they were shot and the wagon was completely demolished. It is a matter of general comment that the almanacs some two weeks ago announced the birth of autumn, at or near which the "sere and yellow leaf" is expected to be in evidence. However, nature's laws seem to be somewhat out of joint this season. At present the trees are still clothed in their spring verdure, vegetation has changed but little in its coloring, and the little change thus far noted is due it is thought more to dry weather than to change of season. Magistrate J. W. McElhaney's court was occupied Saturday morning by a case in which a Gipsy woman was tried for the theft of $10 from a negro, John Witherspoon. Early in the day the woman had visited the home of Wither? -A. _ 1.; spoon &hq ai tor wuimu^ a vunv telling scheme by which she got her hands on the negro's money decamped. The woman was arresued and at the trial was searched and the $10 found. The money was restored to the owner, who paid the costs, and the woman who presented a poverty stricken appearance was released after being given a severe lecture by the court. Mr. J. Watt Kirkpatrick. a well known citizen of Mecklenburg county, died early Sunday morning at his home in Sharon, after an illness of many months. Mr. Kirkpatrick was in his sixty-third year and belonged to one of the oldest families in Mecklenburg county, his grandsire having emigrated . to this country in 1762, and settled within a few miles of the home of the deceased. He is survived by a widow, three sons and two daughters. The funeral service was held at the residence Monday morning at 10 o'clock and the burial was made at Ebenezer A. R. P. church of which the deceased was one of the organizers and a devoted member. Army Worm Destroying Cotton. Mr. E. B. White, mail carrier on route No. 4, informs The Times that the army worm can be seen in a number of the fields along his route. Especially noticeable has been the destruction of a field mar the home of Mr. W. B. Medlin, four miles north of Fort Mill. Up to a few days ago the foliage of this particular field was as green as in the early summer, but now the army worms have stripped the cotton, leaving the field pathetically bare, And only the open bolls remain. Othei nearby fiekls have been attacked but the destruction is less complete than in Mr. Medlin's farm. Fortunately, however, the cotton crop in this section has matured rapidly and should the work of the army worms become general the loss to the farmers could not be as heavy as if the crop was late. The army tborm moves in cohorts, hence its. naibt. Countless hundreds form an army and this moving across the fields leaves destruction in its wake. It has been said with truth that the worm is a member of an invading force and this fact is impressed upon an observer who has looked upon a depleted field after the crossing of the army. The army passes from one field to another after the work of destruction has been brought about, and when the open road is encountered the worm continues his march without fear of molestation. KimbreD-Abernathy. From the ihelby (N. C.) Star of Tuesday we got the following account of a marriage which took place in that city Thursday afternoon: "Miss Eula Bin! Abemathy, one of Shelby's most charming young ladies, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Abernathy, was married Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the home of El her parents to Mr. Grover C. Kimbreil | of Charlotte, Rev. E. E. Williamson, K pastor of the Central Methodist Church I performing the cermony. Only a few E intimate friends and relatives were I present. me arr&ir whs wuipir, om. very sweet and impressive. The room was decorated with golden rod, fern j and cut flowers. Miss Annie Beam and i Miss Ettie Abernathy, a sister of the bride, were the only attendants. Immediately after the ceremony they left on the Seaboard train for C harlotte to make their home. Mr. Kimbrell is an I expert machinist Vith the Stuart W. Cramer Company of that place and is a young man of splendid qualities. The romance began when Miss Abernathy was taking a business course in Charlotte and it culminated in th? happy event Thursday. She is considered one of Shelby's prettiest young ladies and has many friends and admirers." Mr. and Mrs. Kimbrell arrived in Fort Mill Friday morning and are spending a few days at the home of Mr. Kimbrell's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Kimbrell of Gold Hill. Newsy Notes From Gold Hill. , Correspondence Fort Mill Times. Gold Hill, Oct. 9.?On last Friday 1 about 2 a. m. Mr. J. M. Gamble started his son, John, to Mr. Windle's gin with a load of cotton. The little fellow made i the trip all right, lonely maybe, and had company, too, that he was not aware of until he reached the gin, when on looking around he discovered an old chicken rooster perched on the wagon where he had made the trip of three miles unobserved. Of course, Mr. Rooster was not ditched, as most hoboes are, but was sacked and given free transportation back home, though not in such an exalted seat. Now, if chicken roosters are going to hoboing isn't it time for the human roosters to desist? Miss Winnie Faris, of Florida, who has spent the summer among relatives in this section, went over to Yorkville last week to visit some others in that section. Mr. Tom Wallace is suffering with a crippled foot, all from chasing a chicken last week, and is going on crutches as the result. We can say nothing more now, without telling a lie, and we are too much like George Washington to do that. S. High on Democratic Roster. Chairman Norman E. Mack of the Democratic national committee in the October number of the National Monthly presents Speaker Champ Clark of , the House of Representatives as a possible candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination! saying: c "The battle next year for which 8 everybody is now actively preparing c must be fought largely on the niagnifi- f cent record of the present Democratic n House, of \^hich Champ Clark is h speaker and in the shaping of whose t policies his has been the predominant v influence. "Small wonder, therefore, that his ? name stands high in the li.-t of the - - I Democratic presidential possibilities. | ? The logic of events has placed him ^ there, for since he has made and is making the record upon which we must j. appeal to the country, it is but logical n that he should loom largely on the t< horizon as a strong presidential possi- v I bility." v ? ? ? t The Mecklenburg Fair. : d Elaborate plans are rapidly being {ht- ' fected by the officials of the Mecklen- ' burg fair association for the greatest * fair the latter part of this month in the life of the association. The fair will be a $10,000 event, slightly more than | this amount of money being offered as prizes for agricultural, live stock and other exhibits, purses and prizes for I the races during the four days and for . special free attractions. The agricultural exhibits this year will hardly average as high as they did last year on account of the exceedingly bad season. The exhibits of live stock, j : however, will be better and iarger and the poultry show will be well up to the standard of last year when the highwater mark was reached in this interesting and important department. The free attractions will be a special feature of the fair, the most conspicuous of these being the United States Marine band, which will be there on the 25th instant for two concerts in front of the 1 tremendous grandstand. ? Recent Mill Changes of Local Interest. Buren Broom, formerly of Fort Mil), ' has been promoted to second band in j weaving at the Victoria mill, Rock Hill. C. B.

Again, it is an injustice to your physician.
