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

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 ^'

3tattie's Lawyers Hopeful.
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.

when they are the very ones that t
should require especial precaution r
because they are given to young j
children where a difference in
(jualily makes a wonderful dif- j \
terence in effect? Again, it is t
an injustice to your physician.
He prescribes a standard dose for }
a standard quality and a bottle
bought at a nearby grocery is
not satisfactory to him and leaves i
a question in his mind that has
inestimable importance where t
Vninutes count as years and life I
and death are involved. Ardrejr't
Drug store cannot afford to have
but one quality, for a single de- 1
viation would jeopardize the
physician's confidence in all. He ;
knows as soon as he sees the label
on the bottle what dose to pre- 1
scribe and if the effect is not '
satisfactory, he knows to try
something else and always knows ]
where he is at. Deal fair with
your doctor and humane to your <
