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.

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

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.

not satisfactory to him and leaves
a question in his mind that has
inestimable importance where
