C., are guests at the home of Prof. J. A. Boyd, on Confederate street. Mrs. Louise Robinson, of Rock Hill, spent several days of last week in this city as a guest of her sister, Miss Jessie Wilson. A large crowd of Fort Mill ^people went up to Charlotte Tuesday to witness the exhibit in that city of Barnum & Bailey's circus. Rv the use of the township i road machine several streets of thjrtown have been put in excellent shape during the past week.

Mr. Springs was reared in Fort Mill and went west about twenty years ago. A citizen who is in position to know says that the receipts of whiskey at the local express office for the past few weeks have averaged 25 gallons per day. Two new automobiles were bought the past week by citizens of Fort Mill. E. W. Kimbrell purchased a Ford through the agency of J. J. Bailes, and W. B. Meacham bought a Maxwell through a Charlotte dealer. The Times is requested to announce that the "Fairy Play," whirh u as enven at the school i auditorium some months ago, will be presented again at the auditorium Friday night. October 20, at 8 o'clock. The proceeds from the play will as before be used in missionary school work. I The Fort Mill correspondent of The State says: "A dance was given by the young men of the town Monday night in honor of the week's visitors. The floor, music and refreshments were all that could be desi -ed." It might also have been stated that the church membership of the town was, as usual, much in evidence. Rev. W. A. Hafner and Mr. D. G. Kimbrell, representing the local Presbyterian church, are attending the synod of South , Carolina, which opened its sessions in Clinton Tuesday evening. While in Clinton Mr. Hafner and Mr. Kimbrell are being entertained at the home of Mr. J. H. Young. M. L. Smith, a resident of Clover, this county, has named Josh Ashley, of Anderson, as candidate for governor. In a card in The State a few days ago, Mr. Smith says: "Some men are born great, others achieve greatness. I hereby nominate 'Citizen' Josh Ashley for governor of South Carolina. He does things." On account of the Chester county fair, the Southern Railway announces a round trip rate1 from Fort Mill of $1.05. Tickets will |>e sold October 23 to 27, inclusive. The rate to the State fair in Columbia the latter part of the month from Fort Mill is announced as $3.50, which includes admission to the fair grounds. Mr. J. F. Wingate, of Rock Hill, has been commissioned by Governor Blease as magistrate of Catawba township to succeed Major T. C. Beckham, whose death occurred recently.

A large number of representatives from Spartanburg, Cherokee and York counties gathered at the Broad River bridge, in Cherokee county. Friday at noon and organized an association to build a highway connecting Rock Hill and Yorkville with the National highway, via Gaffney, to Spartanburg and thence to the North Carolina mountains. As an instance of the rate at which first class mail travels across the Atlantic, The Times on Thursday received a letter from Peter Keary, of Wimbledon Park, Surrey, England, which was mailed on Tuesday, October 3, arriving here as stated on the 12th?nine days later. Keary, who we do not know, requested a sample copy of The Times along with subscription rates. Every patron of the schools of Port Miil township should be present at the auditorium of the focal graded school next Monday evening a 8 o'clock, when Mr. 0. J. Kern, of. Winnebago county, Illinois, will lecture, and with his lantern slides will show what is possible in the way of good schools in small towns and country districts. Mr. Kern is the leading school worker of the country, and his lecture Monday evening doubtless will prove a treat to all who are interested in the betterment of the schools. Bonds Given Good Majority. At the closing of the polls Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the , election upon the question of a $4,000 bond issue-for street improvements, it was found that there had been cast 22 votes for the bonds and three against the i issue. The proceeds from the issuance of these bonds will be used to pave Main street from the intersection of Booth street to the Southern passenger station. Just what material will be put down cannot yet be stated, but council is said to faver Macadam with tar binder. Neither is it known when the paving will be comment this depending j altogether ufln the dispatch with which the necessary arrange- j ments can be made. High Praise for Corporal Potts. In a letter recently to Capt. T. B. Spratt, of the Fort Mill j Light Infantry, Adjutant General W. W. Moore has the following, in part, to say of the excel-, lent work of Corporal George I Potts, of the local company, in ! the national rifle contest held ! recently at Camp Perry, Ohio: "I have intended writing you I immediately on my return from 1 | Camp Perry, congratulating you ! | upon the meritorious work per! formed by the member detailed j from your organization for the : Camp Perry Rifle Shoot-Corpo-! | ral George W. Potts. If we had I such men as Corpl. Potts through-; I out the National Guard from I which to select our rifle team for I 1912 there is no question as to ; I where the South Carolina team j1 ; would stand next year. His 1 interest, enthusiasm and unstinted zeal are worthy of meritorious mention. "I trust that you will be able to send at least another such zealous marksman to the preliminary shoot next year." Raise in Salary for Mr. Reaves. The many York county friends I of Rev. Edw. S. Reaves, formerly I pastor of Fort Mill and Flint Hill H Baptist churches, will read with i1 interest the following item from | the last issue of the Honea Path 3 Chronicle: At a special conference at the j I Baptist church last Sunday morn-! I ing the salary of Rev Edward S. 1 Reaves was increased to $1,800 ? per annum. This action on the g poi c of the church was a surprise \ to the pastor as he knew nothing ft of such action being anticipated. S The vote to grant this increase ? was unanimous. Mr. Reaves has | been offered work elsewhere ? more than once at a larger salary | than he is paid here but he has ? declined. n Mr. Reaves is one of the ablest ft preachers of the Baptist denomi- ? nation in the State and the church here is fortunate in having him as its pastor. The increase in salary is effective at once. I No Damages for Darnell. A case in Which considerable : local interest centered was that i called in Mecklenburg superior [ court at Charlotte Wednesday , last of Z. V. Darnell versus the | Fort Mill and Pineville Telephonej J company, in which the plaintiff j asked damages in the sum of i , $5,000. The case consumed the entire day's session of the court, '' and it was some time after ad- ( journment in the afternoon that iiir?\r Krnnorhf niif a vpr.liet in ; J Ui J ? V ? ... favor of the defendant. Mr. Darnell is a young farmer ? of the Pineville section and it J was his contention that he re- , eeived a severe electric shock [ some time ago while seated upon the porch of his home, the light- 1 ning being conducted into his ,V home over the wires of the tele- ; phone company. The suit was ' based upon the failure of the company to equip the phone with a ground wire, by which the electricity would have been con- t ducted into the earth. Stewart 1 & McRea were attorneys for Dar r nell, while the telephone com- J pany was represented by E. T. r Cansler. i< r Sheriffs Liable for Yielding Prisoner. v Th? sheriffs of Anderson and Greenville counties, and their " deputies, from whom the negro, j WllllS jaCKSOIl, W<U> i,ai\cii in Greenville county and lynched x in Anderson county, may find \ themselves in a serious predica- ' ment if the attorney general or ^ solicitor desires to institute prose- 1 cutions, says the Columbia Record. Any officer from whom a c prisoner is taken by a mob is v liable under the constitution to " be prosecuted for a misdemeanor J land if convicted to be deposed from office. It is made the duty of the solicitor to institute the prosecution. Further, the coun- ^ tv in which a lynching takes ~ place is liable for damages to the legal representatives of the * persons lynched, and the county e may recover the sum from the persons taking part in the Ivnch'"* . I' But the Greenville Piedmont / thinks there is little probability that any legal action will be taken against any parties to the t, lynching, since, under present c conditions in the South the out- t come could be easily predicted. About Bagging and Ties. 1 An act of interest just now in ; South Carolina is that in relation \ to deductions from weights of i price of cotton for bagging and ' ties. The act provides that it j shall be unlawful for any person, , firm or corporation engaging in the business of buying cotton to ^' \ - ?

The work of preparing the peition asking the Virginia Su-I >reme Court of Appeals for a lew trial for Henry C. Beattie, fr., recently convicted of having nurdered his young wife in July, s now progressing and will be ead.v for submission to the court vhen it convenes November 8. Beattie's lawyers express the pinion that the chances for a lew trial are by no means hopeess. Should the court grant a vrit of error, it is likely a liearng would be had before the lanuary term of the court. The court's first decision day will be November 16.
