As previously noted, Treasurer Harry Neil will spend tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday in Fort Mill collecting taxes. Mrs. F. T. Pegram and little daughter, of Gastonia, N. C., were guests the past week of Miss Ella Stewart on Confederate street. The regular monthly meeting of Catawba lodge No. 56, A. F. M., will be held in the lodge room this (Thursday) evening at the usual hour.

Announcement is made that the Rock Hill Herald, now semiweekly, will after November 15, appear as a daily paper. J. T. Fain, of Greensboro. N. C.. will be the editor of the Daily Herald. J. A. Jones, a Charlotte contractor, was on Thursday awarded the contract to build the model school building at Winthrop col"?' lege. The building is to cost in the neighborhood of $100,000 and the work will commence at once. The Fort Mill friends of Mr. Robt. B. White will be interested to know that his regiment, the 17th infantry, will return soon from Texas to Fort McPherson, near Atlanta. The 17th infantry has been stationed near Fort Sam Houston, Texas, since the recent trouble in Mexico. Announcement is made that Mr. Wm. Banks, who has been on the staff of the Columbia State for a number of years, has resigned that position to become editor of the Anderson Daily Mail. Mr. Banks is well known in this city, his father. Prof. A. R. Banks, havinlgit one time taught the old Fort Mill academy. The marriage of Miss Rob May Miller to Mr. Hubert Watts, of Miami, Fla., was solemnized last Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's father, Mr. J. R. Miller, in the Pineville neighborhood. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Kinglsly, the bride's pastor, in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. Mr Caldwell Henrv. of St. Petersburg, Fla., was among the visitors to Fort Mill the last week. _ Some months ago Mr. Henry, / 111 ?syho is a building contractor, fel from a scaffold and was seriously injured, and for several weeks he has been under treatment at Hot Springs, Ark. Mr. Henry resided in Fort Mill some 30 years ago and is well remembered by the older set. The Charlotte Observer says the failure of 0. P. Heath & Co. is not as bad as first reported, that the major portion of the liabilities consist of notes of corporations on which Mr. Heath was simply an endorser. It is furth er added that in the petition in bankruptcy Mr. Heath does not claim any exemption to which he is entitled under the law. His many friends in this section will regret to learn that Mr. S. M. Mills, one of Fort Mill's oldest and most highly esteemed citizens, is seriously ill at his home on Confederate street. Mr. Mills has been in feeble health for several months and his condition for several days has been such as to cause his family and friends grave anxiety. Announcement is made from Rock Hill that J. Otis Hull, who, since the death of his father ......vt. oita Kac of]I fpH and SUIUC ?> Cell O IIUU vui.vv. published the Rock Hill Herald, will on next Monday assume the editorship of the Chester Lantern, succeeding W.

Satterwhite. who has served the Yorkville and Hickory Grove Baptist churches as pastor since last December, tendered his resignation, assigning as his reason impaired health. Mr. Satterwhite's plans for the future have not been definitely fixed, but it is likely that in the near future he will return to his old home in Sumter. County Supervisor Gardner is having some splendid work done on the road from Lancaster to the ^ North Carolina line. The roadbed, which was damaged by the heavy rains some time ago. is being restored to its former good condition, and the bridges are also being overhauled and repaired. Substantial, permanent fills, with 40-foot steel spans, are being made at the concrete bridge - !._ _ 1 over Cane creek, six nines auuvt town. ?Lancaster News.

Both parties were negro men. ReI port said that Patterson and i brother of Ellis were engaged ir a quarrel when Geo. Ellis cam* up and tried to quiet the affair, Patterson asked Geo. Ellis if h< were taking his brother's part and reached for his pistol, bin Ellis was too quick and shot Patterson one time, resulting ir | the latter's death a few minute: t. afterward. Ellis surrendered t< the authorities. B1 : *"T Fort Mill Mao Killed by Train. j? I Charlotte Observer. g As the result of injuries sus- ? : tained Thursday evening when | he was struck by northbound r train No. 38 of the Southern n Railway at its station here, James Wright, a white man of about 38 years of age, died Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Presbyterian hospital. It was some time before any- j thing could be learned of the man's identity, but it is stated j that he lived in Lancaster, S C., i before going to Fort Mill. Policei man S. C. Stovall at the station saw the man standing in the center of the track and made a j hard attempt to save him, being struck by the train himself and | | slightly injured. Wright, it is | claimed, was very much intoxi- E cated and was facing the north, g whereas the train approached I from the south. Wright was | struck squarely in the back. His | left foot was badly torn and I mashed but it was not thought I at the time that his injuries ) tnfallir Hp WHS i I wuuiu icoua iuiun j. xv .. ? taken to the hospital, where his wounds were dressed by a railroad surgeon. He regained consciousness but was unable to remember the accident. The remains were taken to the undertaking establishment of J. M. Harry & Co., where they were prepared for interment. A sonin-law of Wright arrived last night from Fort Mill to take | ' charge of the body. * Wright's body was brought to 1 Fort Mill on the afternoon train E j Sunday and was interred in the 1 ^ town cemetery. | Two Old Papers. ? Two of the oldest documents 'seen here in many years were | those brought to light a few days ago by workmen engaged at the old White homestead, one-half j mile north of town. One of the | old papers, found in the attic, was an agreement entered into by Col. Wm. E. White and T. B. j Hoover for the erection by the latter of the old White residence and was dated March 21, 1831. The contract price was $5,000. I The old paper is badly motheaten, but^the agreement, or contract, as follows, is plainly ! legible: "The said Wm. E. White is to : pay to the said Thos. B. Hoover, j occasionally as it may be needed, I the one half amount of his work, ' the other half, if not convenient1 ] J to pay it when the work is done, to bear interest from that time 9 until paid. Said Hoover will I further, without any charge, see I that the stone and brick work is I I done in a workmanlike manner, I I but is not bound so to d6. The 11 blocking for doors, windows and 11 j every other part of the building, :l not above expressed, to be done' I and t included in the above E ! prices." & Along with the old contract 9 j paper was found a letter of a , I business nature written to Col. I White by Hiram Hutchisson. of I j Columbia, and dated December I 17, 1820. In.this letter is told of I the shipment by wagon from ? Columbia of a quantity of goods M to Col. White at his home here. = It is plainly to be seen that the ; the haulage for same was at the j rate of 621-2 cents per hundred j * weight. The two old papers were | * brought to The Times office Tues day and have been objects of much curiosity to those to whom * they were shown. ^ Uncle Sam Not Santa This Year. Uncle Sam is not going to be Santa Claus this Christmas, i Letters placed in the mails ad- f dressed to the jolly St. Nicholas will not be turned over to chari- * table societies and institutions as ^ has been the custom the last two or three years. Because Uncle Sam's service f as Santa Claus has been abused, orders have been issued by the a postoffice department that all 4 letters addressed to Santa Claus ^ this Christmas will be returned to the senders if a return ad- * dress is furnished, and if not, ? that they will go to the dead let- ? ter office. ^ Every Christmas the mails are ^ flooded with letters addressed to Santa Claus. A few seasons ago 1 out of the kindness of its heart the government decided to de- ? liver ali such addressed letters Q to societies which make a prac- a tice of assisting the needy at W Christmas time. The public jfj abused this favor on the part of ? , Uncle Sam, however, and now 1* 1 letters addressed to Santa Claus * won't be delivered. Ex. f , Big Money in Baseball. ; The stakes of the world's series j . are the richest ever playedt for by J ( two baseball teams.

Twen- * i ty-one players on each team are IJ eligible to participate in the J money, so that the players on C the winning team will each re- * ' ceive $3,654.6$ and the members ( of the losing team $2,436.39 each. j( I The Charlotte Observer of Tuesday morning carried a pic- : ture of a novel spectacle that i was witnessed on the streets of i Rock Hill Friday morning. The j picture showed Claude W. Rat- * . terree, one of York county's most j ? extensive farmers, driving at v , the head of a wagon train of 250 t t bales of cotton, loaded on 50 i t wagons. The cotton was stored ' l in a Rock Hill warehouse, where j 3 Mr. Ratterree will allow it to re- . d main until he is offered a profitj able price for it. * AllJust in a ship models out.
