Already several machines for the making of the overalls are enroute to Rock Hill. Prof. L. A.

By reason of his acquaintance in this city, the marriage of J. Archie Willis, of Belton, and Miss Annie Lou Hunter, of Laurens, which was announced to take place yesterday evening in the Presbyterian church at Woodruff, will be read with interest by many.

The Cotton Crop. j While in Fort Mill a few days 1 ago a traveling salesman who has during the past few weeks "worked" the principal towns of the upper part of the State reI marked that only about 20 per ; cent, of the cotton crop was uni picked on November 1. His estimate was based on statements to this effect made by the merchants of the towns which he had I visited. The gins throughout the piedmont section have been running with but little abatment : since the middle of October and ' with fair weather it is believed ' that practically all the cotton in this section will have been picked ; and ginned by the 20th of the , present month The next gov| ernment ginners' report will be made on the 18th. The cotton in the up-country samples well, it is said, but there is much storm cotton in the southern arid eastern counties. A farmer ir Barnwell county was reported tc have sold storm cotton a few days ago at 7 cents. Stein-McElhaney.

As the result of an irresistible desire to place his hand on a live electric wire, Walter Hayes, a white boy about 8 years old, had his left hand burned almost to a I crisp Thursday at the transform-1 er house of the Manchester cot-! ton mill, on the outskirts of Rock j Hill. During recess hour of the ! mill school Hayes, with some i ' other boys, went to the trans- j former house and broke out a ! window glass, knocked off the bars inside the window, and sticking his hand through the ! opening grasped a wire which | was supposed to carry 10,0001 volts of electricity. The hand was instantly burned almost into a crisp and that the boy escaped | j ' death seemed miraculous. He j j i was at once taken to a Rock Hill1 hospital and last reports were to i j the effect that he was doing nicely. It is said that others in the party had warned him not to touch the wire; that it would kill him, hut Hayes said he was not afraid, or words to that effect. Popular Couple Married in Charlotte. Of interest to many people in this section was the marriage in " ? xir_j J? ] i^nanone on vv eunesua^ ui iasi week of Mr. Moulton Faris and , Miss Eunice Kimball, of Pineville. Mr. Faris and Miss Kirn- j ball drove through from Pineville ' to Charlotte and were accompanied by a number of friends. ' Upon reaching Charlotte the | couple sought the services of a minister and were married in the parlors of the Buford hotel I by Rev. Mr. Kingsley, pastor of Pineville Presbyterian church, 1 who happened to be spending the day in the city. Immediately after the ceremony M\ and Mrs. Faris left for Columbia to attend the Slate fair. They have since j returned and will reside in Gold Hill, this township, in which community the groom's father, Mr. I. L. Faris, has for years been one of the leading farmers. Rev. F. M. Satterwhite Dead. Rpv. F. M. Satterwhite. notice of whose resignation from the pastorate of the Yorkville Baptist church was published in The Times last week, died suddenly at the home of his daughter in Sumter early Thursday morning. Rev. Mr. Satterwhite had been in bad health for some time and had given this as his reason for resigning the pastorate of the Yorkville church. During his residence of about a year in Yorkville Mr. Satterwhite had gained the lo\e of his congregation and the esteem of the people of the vicinity and his death proved a profound shock to all who knew him. A Disappointed Crowd. There was a tremendous crowd in Fort Mill last Wednesday, but not more than one-half of the visitors attended the Cole & Rice ? ^ ...U. r?rl a??q f Viof SHOWS, \\ II It" II CA1UU1I.CU licit uiai day. Many came to town to see the parade, it was said, but they were disappointed as a parade was one of the features that was not on the program. The show did not come up to expectations, as many had been led to believe by the posted bills that it was really a circus and :not a vaudeville show. The show is accompanied by a fairly good orchestra and there were a few new features in rii g work, but beyond these, little can be said in praise of the performances given here. ? The hunting season in York county opens next Wednesday, and already a number of parties have arranged to spend the day afield. In Fort Mill township birds are reported more numerI ous than for several seasons. e , ..i [aS Just in a slii models out. 1 the models ha\ mixtures, Nav^ 7 ? satisfactory we the garment w are selling thei I Wo also hav your size in st( use and delivei I no pay.

It is said that the! worms in many places stripped the plants of the dense foliage, allowing the sun to reach bolls which would never have opened had the foliage remained on the stalks. Some of the small bolls were eaten by the caterpillars but these, it is claimed, would not have matured before frost, hence this loss was not of moment. Gives Aid to Strikers.
