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.

U1 WHICH vaiiic ao c* ouipnuv w |
j the friends of the groom in this
township, was that of Mr. B. E.
McElhaney and Miss Nannie
Stein, which took place at Rockingham,
N. C., on Wednesday
evening, October 25. The cere-,
mony was performed by Rev.

Seriously Burned by Electric Wire.
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.

Is the World Growing Better?
Many things go toprove that it is. The
way thousands are trying to help others
is proof. Among them is Mrs. VV. VV.
Gould, of Pittslield, N. H. Finding good
health by taking Electric Bitters, she
now advises other sufferers everywhere,
to take them. "For years I suffered
with stomach and kidney trouble," she
writes. "Every medicine I used failed
till I took Electric Bitters. But this
great remedy helped me wonderfully."
They'll help any woman. They're the
best tonic and finest liver and kidney
remedy that's made. Try them. You'll,

Many of the farmers of this
section be'ieve that the recent
visit of the cotton caterpillars!

disguise. 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.

Averts Awful Tragedy.
Timely advice given Mrs. C. Wiloughby,
of Marengo, Wis., (R. No. 1) prevented
a dreadful tragedy and saved I
two lives. Doctors had said her frightful
cough was a "consumption" cough
and could do little to help her. After
many remedies failed, her aunt urged
her to take Dr. King's New Discovery.
"I have been using it for some time,"
she wrote "and the awful cough has
almost cone. It also saved mv little
boy when taken with a severe bronchial
trouble." This matchless medicine has
no equal for throat and lung trouble.
