f SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS, Misses Gillette Schumpert, Bessie Kibler, Mary Kirven and Annie Wilson, of Winthrop, were guests Sunday and Monday at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth M. Belk. The government ginnere' report issued Tuesday showed that 11,269,986 bales of cotton had been ginned up to November 13. This was almost 1,500,000 bales more than was ginned to that date in the record year of 1904. The iow price of cotton even at this I early date is said to be having a telling effect on the sale of commercial fertilizers. According to reports the tax records show less than half as much j sold this month as was sold last November. fc ' - Y Calvin Morrow, a negro man whose . ' mind has been unbalanced for some time, was on Monday taken to the insane asylum at Columbia. Morrowwas in charge of Mr. D. K. Hall, a well known farmer of the Pleasant Valley neighborhood. The Times is requested to announce 1 that Rev. G. C. Epps, of Maiden, N. C., will supply the pulpi: of Flint Hill Baptist church the mor ling of the first Sunday in December, ana in the evening will preach from the Baptist ^0 . church in this city. In the front window of ihe Mc- , Eihaney & Company store on Saturday was posted the name of Wm. Ardrey, the little son of W. B. Ardrey, the k well known druggist, ea the winner of Jk a pair of shoes in the Irawing contest ' ' now being conducted by the firm. The I names of subsequent winners will be ! posted after each drawing.

Boyd, 'ihe Fort Mill Baptist church will also be represented in the meeting by a number of delegates . but the names of those to go from this church have not thus far been ari nounced. Rev. B. L. Padgett, a holiness preacher who, if we are not mistaken in the man, visited Fort Mill several years ago and spent several weeRs in the mill villages here, has gotten himself in a peck of trouble over at King's Mountain because of his improper relations with a young woman of that town. Padgett was tried and convicted of the charge at Shelby, N. C., a few days ago and sentenced to two j1 years in the penitentiary. i > , Southern passenger train No. 35, I 1 due to pass Fort Mill at 7:15 a. m., j Thursday morning struck and killed an ' unknown white man a tew miles below 1 Winnsboro. The man was about 25 years old and was thought to have been ' asleep 011 the end of a crosstie when ! struck by the engine. He carried a 1 bundle of clothing which was wrapped 1 ? in paper from a store at Smith's, a small station between Rock Hill and 1 Chester. 1 1 Kev. and Mrs. S. P. Hair and infant < daughter left Tuesday morning for 1 Blackville, where thev will spend < several weeks with relatives.

Being the chairman 01 the I j executive committee of tne York as- , j sociation and chairmen of the committee < oh apportionments, Mr. Hair expects < to be kept busy during the three days' j meeting of the State association. ( Northbound Southern passenger train No. 26, from Columbia to Charlotte, 1 due to pass Fort Mill at 6:35 p. m., ran into a wagon with a horse and mule to it and loaued with negroes at Nazarene crossing, a short distance south of Rock Hill Saturday afternoon, killing both - - ~ V ( ? the horse and mule and injuring Bill Lumpkin, a negro who was driving the team, and two negro women. Physicians from Hock Hill attended the negroes and reported that none of them ! were seriously injured. i Mr. Edwin Garrison, a well known j young farmer of lower Steel creek, narrowly escaped the loss of his lelt j hand Thursday morning while operating , a corn shudder in the vicinity of his j home. In extracting an ear of corn ^ from the machine Mr. Garrison's hand was caught between the teed rollers 1 * and but for the fact that the g<6ve he ! j was wearing was old and easily torn j his hand doubtless would have been drawn into the machine and mangled. | As it was the hand was badiy lacerateu ( and one of the lingers broken, but it is ] thought that the member will hea< readily. 'J At the conclusion ot the service Sun- ] day morning which n arked the close of his second year as pastor ol the j fort Mill Baptist church, ltev. S. P. Hair, was given a pleasant surprise : when announcement was made tftat 1 the church had voluntarily granted him > an increase or $100 per year in salary, | i ras well as extending a vacation, the ] length of which was to be determined i by the pastor hin.seil, 'Ihis act on the < part ot the church was in the nature I of an expression of the high esteem in 1 which the pastor is heiu and an appre- I ciation of his faithful services to the ' church during the pa. t two years. ? gr i Tom Limeberger, an employe of one < of the local cotton mills, was on last Wednesday bound over io York court by Magistrate Mchihaney in the sum of $UOO upon a charge o: as.-ault ant. battery with intent to sill L.

A brother of Limeberger fui- j nished bond in the sum required and he j was released. New Store for Fort Mill. Mr. E. S.

Mrs. E. G. Bradford Dead. fi Mrs. Rosa Bradford, wife of Mr. E. I Guy Bradford, died Sunday morning at K 9 o'clock at the home of her parents in t the Flint Hill section of the township, | after an illness of several months, p Possessed of every available means of e relief, she was nursed and tenderly E cared for, lacking naught that could E or would contribute to her comfort or restoration by human effort, but all this availed not. Mrs. Bradford was a daughter of Mr. Z. T. Bailes, a well known farmer of Flint Hill. About one year ago she was married to Mr. Bradford, and since that time the couple had lived several months at Ridgeway. They returned to Fort Mill about three months ago and Mrs. Bradford was stricken with typhoid fever. It was from tie effects of this malady that she died. Besides her husband and an infant of a few weeks, she is survived by her p arents and a number of brothers and sisters. Mrs. Bradford was a i- - 1 : LU I young woman 01 many auriiiruuir nans, b and was a consistent member of Flint n Hill Baptist church. Her death was a I profound shock to the community, and I a large crowd attended the funeral as a an expression of their regard for her * and sympathy for the bereaved family. The services were conducted by her pastor. Rev. S. P. Hair, assisted by i Rev. W. A. Hafner, of the Fort Mill ! Presbyterian church, and the remains were laid to rest Monday morning in ! the cemetery at Flint Hill church. Lost Arm by Accidental Gunshot. Thursday morning near the home of 1 her parents in upper Fort Mill township the 13-year-old daughter of Mr. \ and Mrs. S. B. Kimbrell had the misfortune to lose her left arm as a result of the accidental discharge of a j shotgun in the hands of her brother. | The children, several in number, were j i returning home from the field at the noon hour when the young man who | was carrying a gun in some manner ; discharged the weapon and the entire load of small shot entered his little j sister's arm just above the elbow. The j father, who was at work a short dis- j tance from the house heard the report J of the gun and upon reaching the house I immediately summoned a physician, j Amputation of the limb near the-shoul- , tier was found necessary. The little girl stood the operation well and at last reports was doing nicely. The I friends of Mr. and Mrs. Kimbrell and ; their little daughter deeply sympathize t | with them in this great misfortune. 8 Referred to Road Supervisor g A citizen of the Barbersville com- I munity of Lancaster county visited j The Times office Saturday and entered a protest at the seemingly neglect, he j said, of that jiortion of the public road j between Barber's bridge, over sugar i creek two miles east of town, and the intersection of the Bailes bridge road, j It was pointed out that the residents of Barbersville had, without compen- ! sation, worked the road with split-log J irags from the Meckleuburg line, a distance of four miles to the creek, and that that portion of the road is now in fine shape, but after crossing the creek into York county the road for a half mile is wellnigh impassable on account of holes and washes. Another thing to which the writer's attention was directed was the soggy condition of the road through the woods from the creek | bottoms on the Fort Mill side about one-fourth mile to the intersection of the Bailes bridge road. This condition it was explained was due to the dense growth of shrubbery and trees alongside the road, and it was suggested that the Fort Mill township road supervisor could remedy this condition by cutting away the timber growth, thus allowing the sun to penetrate and dry out the road, it was said that by the 0 Barbersville r<?ad the trip from Fort Mill to Charlotte is four miles nearer than by the Bailee bridge route, but until the short stretch of the road west of Sugar creek is put in proper shape Pf1 the entire road is well nigh worthless. I , # m de Some Fine Chickens. yt Robt. M. Bryant of Pleasant Valley : las gained quite a reputation during _ :he past few years as a breeder of tine rhickens. Mr. Bryant makes a special- Mi ;y of Columbian Wyandottes and has w' i number of the best breeding pens of his popular variety of fowls in the state. At the recent Mecklenburg ^ air Mr. Bryant exhibited a pen of his to iVyandottes and was awarded first u-j irize. Many who viewed the chickens wr ironounced them the best specimens of till his variety ever exhibited at a Meek- up euburg lair. The chickens are not ' inly rich in plumage but have an egg ecord surpassed by no other breed in his section. The high quality of the |)r oundalion stock, coupled with his ?everal years' experience with the Wvandottes, have tended towards placing Mr. Bryant's chickens in the , front rank. Another breeder of Wyandottes who has during the past few years gained ^ * considerable notoriety through the excellence of his chickens is B. C. Fergu- ' ) son, of Fort Mill. Mr. Ferguson's ^ stock is the famous Field strain of! ' Partridge Wyandottes, winners of a 81 lumber of prizes at the Augusta and j \tlanta poultry fairs of the past few rears. These chickens are noted lor ] :heir breeding to color and besides mt lave established a strong record for Ai lealthfulness and egg production. In he mother column Mr. Ferguson telis of Lhe excellence of his fowls, as well as |,a itfering a number of pens for sale. *u From the County Seat. 1,1 Co: resiKiniler.ee Fort Mill Times.
