SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. Already the little ones are counting the days until Christinas. t The best price paid for cotton on the local market yesterday was Sf cents. If you have not paid your newspaper subscription for the year, do so atfl once. The year 1911 is growing old. Owing to the spring drought the oat crop in South Carolina is. it is estimated, 50,000 bushels short of the crop of 1910. Mrs. J. C. Hunter, of Liberty, was a guest the past week at the home of ner parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Mas-sey in this city. Mrs. L. L. Downs and children re-1 turned Thursday to Pineville, after a visit of some days at the home of Mrs. ^ E. M. Ardrey, in this place. It was estimated that 100 Fort Mill pcpple, mostly negroes, went to Rock Hill Friday to witness the performance of Downie & Wheeler's circus. An ear of corn, having six sm^ll and one large ear all in one shuck, was brought to town Saturday by Boyce Bennett, a farmer of lower Fort Mill township. Treasurer Neil has begun his annual tour of the county for the purpose of collecting taxes. He is scheduled to Vm/Ioii nn/4 Cohmlau XInvpmKpr opcnu i- i iuaj anVI unvuiuuj, ?w. 3 and 4 in Fort Mill. Mr. J. Walker Lynn and family, who have resided in Fort Mill for several years, will in a short while move to Goldsboro, N. C., where Mr. Lynn will engage in mill work. Hunters should remember that the open seas an in this State does nqt come in until November 15, and that to take a gun into the held is prima facie evidence of a violation of the statutes. Rev. J. Walter Simpson, of Concord, N. C., who was recently called to the pastorate of the A. R. P. chuich of Clover, this county, has declined the calL Rev. Mr. - Simpson is a native of Rock Hill. In a notice elsewhere City Treasurer Spratt notifies the taxpayers of Fort Mill that his books are now dpen for the collection of taxes for 1911 on all real i estate and personal property within the : town limits. Fort Mill people generally will be interested to learn that J. D. Fulp has Even up the management of the Winns>ro Hotel, which he has been running for about two years, and in the future will engage in the brokerage business in Winnsboro. Although there has been several good rains in this section during the past few weeks, the wells seem to have Been little benefited thereby, and many families still find it necessary to call on their more fortunate neighbors for drinking water. From the Yorkville Enquirer it is learned that the total assessed valuation of the taxable property of Fort Mill township for the year 1911 is $612,155. The values last year were $5%,873, which shows an incease for the year of $15,282. The secretary of State has commissioned the Smoak-Brown Company, of Yorkville, to sell live stock, hay, grain, etc., and vehicles. The capital stock is $8,000. The petitioners are H. G. Brown, of Yorkville, and C. F, Smoak, of Branchville. While there have been several marriages in Fort Mill since trte license law became effective July 1, not a sin- ; gle white couple is included in the number. The license business seems to have put a quietus to the matrimonial aspirations of the whites of Fort Mill and township. The secretary of State has commissioned the Herald Publishing company Rrwlf Hill, to establish and publish j h daily rewspaper and to do general I printing. Capital stock $10,(XX) Petitioners are J. T. Fain of Greensboro; : J. Otis Hull and Alexander Long of Rock Hill. The mercantile establishment of C. M. | Fite, which has been conducted for about two years in one of the Meacham ' buildings on Main street, has closed its , doors and the stock of goods, consisting 1 of groceries, shoes, etc., is being ship- ' ped to Charlotte, where Mr. Fite has j recently opened a new business. The Times learns that the owners of the property at the head of Main street j will in the next few weeks have the | unoccupied blacksmith shop rolled back and will extend Main street one block J farther east. This we hope is the be- ( ' ginning of what will result in the open- 1 1 ing to settlement the many nice resi- ' dence lots in the vicinity of the base- I ball grounds. j * -.1 a i A coiorm rrsiurui. ui ? nu>in. section of the town thinks that council 1 should have erected a light at the 1 cross roads near the home of W. B. Steele. It was pointed out that there are quite a number of tax payers among the residents of 'Paradise" and it would seem but proper that they should be allowed some consideration in the matter of lights. I The barn of J. L. Rainey, a farmer living near Sharon, this county, was burned last Wednesday night, together with one mule, 8,000 bundles of fodder, i several bales of hay, and other provender. The origin of the fire was un- < known, but it was thought to have been the work of an incendiary. The loss was estimated at $1,000, which was partly covered by insurance. There are 206 automobiles in York county, accordingto a ix-portsent in by Clerk of Court Tate to the State department of agriculture the past week, an increase of 88 over the number reported last year. In the State there are approximately 6,000 automobiles, j valued at about $5,000. Greenville leads the counties of the State in the number of automobiles, having more than 400. J Rev. W. A. Hafner, who, with Mr. D. G. Kimbrell, attended synod of j South Carolina at Clinton the past week, returned to Fort Mill Fridaynight. Next year's session of synod is to be held in Columbia, the date of which will be the centennial of the birth of Rev. J. H. Thornwell, father of the lamented Dr. Thornwell of Fort Mill, whose life was lived mostly in Columbia. The Times has received a request from -Mrs. H. W. Richardson, of Columbia, for authentic information on Red Shirt history, and we take pleasure in passing the request on to any in this section who may possess such information. The Wade Hampton chapter, U. D. C., of Columbia, is endeavoring to secure as much authentic history as possible of the Red Shirts and their work and all who can help them are requested to send same to Mrs. Richard-1 wjn at 1006 Barnwell street. During the week of the State fair in Columbia, beginning October 30, the Southern Railway will, in addition to its regular scheduled trains, operate a special train between Charlotte and Columbia for the convenience of those wishing to attend the fair. This train, which leaves Charlotte at 5:20 a. m., will pass Fort Mill at 6 a. m. and arrive at Columbia at 9:30 a. m. Returning, the train will leave Columbia at 6:20 p. m. The round trip fare from Fort Mill will be $3.50, which includes j one admission to the fair grounds. Miss Nettie Bradford returned Friday evening from a short visit to relatives in Ridge way. Mr. B. M. Lee and family, who have resided in lower Fort Mill for several fears, left Saturday evening for E1 aso, Texas, where Mr. Lee will take a position as telegraph operator for the Southern Pacific railroad. "Money-spent on roads and streets that the first hard rain will wash away is money wasted," says the Gaffney j Ledger. As a striking example of the truth of this statement, doubting Thomases are invited to pay the town j of Fort Mill a visit. The Times is requested to announce ! that there will be preaching at Pleas- j ant Valley Baptist church Friday morn- j ing and night and Saturday morning j and Satunav night, and that the pastor, Rev. Mr. Thomasson, will be assisted i in the ordination of the deacons by Rev. S. P. Hair, of Fort Mill, and Rev. Mr. Nelson of Rock Hill. "Son" Parker, a negro boy about 16 years of age, lost his right arm in an accident at the plant of the Fort Mill Mfg. Co. Tuesday morning. Parker was employed in the picker department and in some manner had his arm caught in one of the machines, which severed his hand and mangled the arm so badly j that the member was amputated above , ] the elbow. Several prominent citizens of Guthriesville, in this county, according to to The Enquirer, sent to the foreman of the York grand jury a request that action be taken against a white man of Guthriesville who hired a negro to sell whiskey at the school house there j recently. The petitioners also claim to possess proof that' a merchant of i Guthriesville has sold whiskey across his counter and also ask that the grand ' jury indict him. I A teacher's manual far the elementary schools of South Carolina, designed to promote the progress and increase the efficiency of the free public schools of the State, has been issued from the department of education by j J. E. Sweanngen, the State superin- I tendent. The manual was prepared by W. K. Tate the supervisor of rural elementary schools in this State. Much ' valuable information is contained in the ! munual, and all teachers in the State are requested to secure copies. Mrs. S. A. Epps has been unable to leave her home for several days as the result of an accidental fall at the school auditorium Friday night. With other members of the family, Mrs. Epps had witnessed the presentation of the Fairy play and was in the act of descending the long steps of the building when in some manner she stumbled and fell to the ground, a distance of about eight feet. Besides having an ankle badly sprained, she sustained a number of severe bruises to her head and face as - f d rtfBUll Ui llic attiucuw. The friends of Miss Daisy Patterson of Fort Mill, S. C., and Mr. C. C. Harris of this city will be interested to learn of their marriage, which occurred Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Frank Ferguson, the ceremony being performed by Rev. L. A. Falls, pastori of the Belmont Methodist church. Mrs. Harris has many friends in Charlotte, where she has frequently visited. Mr. Harris is engaged in business here and is very popular. They will make their home here.?Charlotte Observer, 23rd. The United States M trine band, now on a tour of the South, is to be at Winthrop college, in Rock Hill, this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Thursday morning at an early hour Special Constable J. R. Jackson and Marshall Geo. Plexico, of Sharon, discovered a whiskey distillery in full blast in the southwestern corner of i : York county near Lockhart. About! fifteen parties, all negroes except one, a white man known in the community as "Handy Jack," were at the still when the officers made the raid and two of the negroes were captured and taken to jail. "Handy Jack," to whom it was thought the still belonged, made Ms escape amid a shower of bullet3 . from the officers. It is thought that the still had been in operation since ; about August 1. < At the conclusion of the court of j ' general sessions at Lancaster on last ( Wednesday Judge Watts passed sentence on Henry Kee, for the murder of < 5am Dye, and Mack Hood, for the J murder of Walker Dunlap, sentencing them to hang on Decernoer 8. Both ' parties are negroes. These will be the , first legal hangings in Lancaster county in twenty-one years The last hang- 1 ing was that of Roach Catoe and Will Clyburn for the murder of (ius Henois. Out of the twelve murder cases to come up at this term, all except two were tried. Two were convicted of murder in the first degree, one with recommendation to mercy, and one of manslaughter. Prof. Kern's Lecture. It is to be regretted that not more of I the people of Fort Mill township were j S resent at the school auditorium Mon- ! ay evening to hear the lecture of Mr. ! 0. J. Kern, superintendent of education j of Winnebago county, Illinois. There were perhaps two hundred present and the majority of these were children and young people. In the crowd was noted ; several trustees of the Gold Hill school and at least one of the trustees of I Riverside (Sutton) school, 'lhe Fort Mill school was not as well represented | ' - > - i- _ .u.. ,.f as n migni nave wfu m m*.- ??? trustees present. I Mr. Kern began his lecture by showing, with lantern slides, a number of rural school buildings, interior and exterior, of his (Winnebago) county as they appeared several years ago and I followed this up with scenes of the same schools as they appear today, and { to contrast the improvement made is j: barely possible. Mr. Kern did not i state that all the schools of his county . had been improved during his adminis- j tration of twelve years as county J superintendent, but to judge from the j number of views shown, one would ! conclude that none had been neglected, j Another interesting feature of the views | shown was the manner in which the ; school yards, once bare of flowers and j shubberv, are now decked with beauti- ; ful plants, vines and shade trees, ali i accomplished by a few hours' work J each day by the pupils and a small ' expenditure oy the county. Mr. Kern ' also gave views of a number of hand some school buildings in his county I which had been erected through the consolidation of two or more schools. | He touched upon agriculture, horticulture, gymnastics, etc., and for two , hours his hearers were trtated to one of- the most interesting educational lectures vet heard in this city. As a whole, Mr. Kern's lecture and the views shown of the many model schools of his home county, were such as to impress upon his hearers the pressing need of improved schools and educational facilities in this immediate vicinity, and we dare say that the visit of the noted educator to Fort Mill will result in the accomplishment of many things for which it was intended.
