The mill at Pineville has been closed down for almost a year, and the information that it is soon to hegin operations is, of course, nleasing to the people of that town. Mrs. Emma Sharpe, relict of the late Thomas Sharpe, of Pineville, died Sunday at her home in Loomis, N. Y., after an illness of several weeks. She is survived by one child, a six-year^ old son. Mrs. Sharpe was Miss F.mma Williamson, of Darlington, and the remains were taken to that city for burial. Rev. J. R. Edwards and little son, Chas., of Lexington. Va., stopped over in Fort Mill Tuesday night to visit Mr. Edward's niece, Mrs. Fred Harris. The two were returning home from Due West, where they attended the funeral of Mr. Edward's mother, Mrs. H. E. Edwards. Rev. Mr. Edwards formerly was a missionary in Mexico for 14 years for the A. R. P. church.

In the crowd arrested were Charlie Hart. Handv White, Hess Neil, Elliott Halli Will Perry and Dude Strait. The negroes were fined $5.00 each, with the exception of Hart, who was required to fork over $7.50. Seed Catalogues Come. This is the season when seed catalogues enter innumerable h'Tnes to gladden the eyes of prospective suburban gardeners and bring visions of succulent vegetables and many tinted flowers of the glad summertime. It is very fortunate that the catalogues come at a time when a large portion of the country is shivering by reason of the phenomenal cold. It is possible that the man of vivid imagination, as he looks raptly at the highly colored pages of gigantic strawberries, monster roses and other creations of the artht, may be so affected as to forget the north winds and bitter cold, and imagine that gentle zephyrs are playing without and robin* singing in the trees. \ The great worth of the splitlog drag to the roads was demonstrated the past week in this township when Road Supervisor Blankenship had all the principal roads of the township gone over with the drag. In many places the roads had been cut up during the long wet spell until they were wellnigh impassible, but the drag filled the ruts, smoothed the surface of the roads and made travel much better. The streets of the town were also gone over and much improved by the use of the drag. Mrs. M. E. Shannon, the aged mother of the late Mrs. W. A. Hafner of Fort Mill, came near losing her home, in Sharon, last Wednesday by fire. The fire originated in a cotton house near the residence and the former building with its contents of more than $200 worth of cotton, was | reduced to ashes. The dwelling | ^aught fire from a flying brand out was extinguished by the }uick work of a bucket brigade. There was no insurance on the burned building or cotton. Fort Mill Will Grow Leu Cotton. A fairly well attended and enthusiastic meeting of the Farm-1 ;rs' organization was held in the ; town hall Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock, S. H. Epps, Sr., presiding. Little business of importance came before the meetng, the principal object being to near the report of the committee appointed some weeks ago to canvass the township and secure signatures from those farmers who would agree to reduce the acreage planted to cotton and the I amount of fertiliser used. This report showed i;hat practically all the farmers of the township had agreed to the proposition, and that according to the agreement the cotton crop of Fort Mill will be reduced in acreage 24 per :ent. in 1912, while the amount >f fertilizer used will be reduced 16 per cent. The secretary of he local organization was initructed to forward a copy of his report to the secretary of he county orgar ization. The officers of the local organi;ation are much elated with the success of the movement in Fort dill township. Dr. N. R. Hotchkiss Dead. Information was received in Port Mill Tuesday morning by 1 Mr. W. J. Steele of the death Monday night at New Haven, Conn., of his uncle, Dr. Norton p Hrktnhlfiss The messatre also conveyed the intelligence that the burial would be made at New Haven Th ursday. The news of Dr. Hotchkiss' ( ieath will be heard in this section with deep regret. He was a native of Fort Mill, and up to 20 years ago v.*as a resident of | this city. He was therefore well | known to the people of this com-1 munity and was highly esteemed by all. Dr. Hotchkiss was the son of the late Seth Hotchkiss and Mrs. Rebecca Hotchkiss, of Fort Mill, and was 41 years of age. He received his education in Fort Mill and Charleston and graduated in medicine at the University of Maryland, going from there to New Haven. His skill as a physician and his intellectuality soon gave him prominence in the Yale settlement. He was captain of the surgeons' corps of the Governors' Foot Guards for ten years and was surgeon general of GovVVnmlrnff's Staff for tWO ci liV/1 T ? vv/v. . ^ - years. Dr. Hotchkiss married Miss Lucy Belk, of Fort Mill, by whom, with three children, he is survived. Dr. Hotchkiss came South about a year ago to visit his mother and sister, Mrs. Mattie Stewart, in Charlotte. Surviving him beside his wife and children, and his mother and sister, Mrs. Stewart, are three half brothers, Mr. S. A. Hotchkiss, of New HaveiV; Mr. J. D. Hotchkiss, of Nay lor, Ga., and Mr. James Steele, who lives near Rock Hill; and a half sister, Mrs. C. M. Tuesdale, of Westfield, S. C. Public School Honor Roll for January. Tenth Grade.

Watson, who is president of the Southern Cotton Congress, which recommended that the "Rock Hill plan" for the reduction of cotton acreage be put into execution throughout the cotton belt, has telegraphed John G. Anderson, of Rock Hill, author of the plan, to meet him in Raleigh February 1 and in Atlanta February 2, as the first two points in a tour of the cotton States the two gentle; men are to make in the interest j of assisting to push the pipn into execution rapidly throughout the cotton belt. The trip will be made in response to a resolution of the South Carolina State Farmers' Union, which requested Mr. Anderson to make the tour with Commissioner Watson. Dates for similar conferences at other central poinis of each important cotton State will be announced later. It is expected I that the entire tour will be completed in about two weeks. ! ^? The best price paid for cotton on the local market yesterday was 91-4 cents. Resolutions of Respect. In the death of Mrs. William Hafner, which occurred at the manse January 17, 1912, this society mourns the loss of a beloved, efficient and tactful presi dent, one who was always ready to do the Master's will and was rarely absent from its meetings. Patient, modest, sincere, faithful and loyal to the work her hands found to do, her influence will ever live in our hearts and in her life amongst us she exhibited the charity that "beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things." She will also be missed in the church, being always ready and willing to aid in all church work, and she was the center and life of the home circle, being missed there in a way that none of us can realize. And as a friend she was sincere and loyal and her social grace and tact, her unaffected warmth of heart and tenderness of spirit, caused her to be loved by all who were privileged to know her. As it had pleased our Heavenly Father to take from us our beloved president and co-worker, be it Resolved? First. That we bow in humble submission, knowing that "He doeth all things well." Second. That our society has lost one whose cheerful, Christian character will long stimulate us to all that is pure, good and true. Thiid. That we tender to our bereaved Pastor and family our sincere sympathy and love, and commend them to God, who is a comfort in every time of sorrow. Fourth. That we as a society desire to place on record our love and esteem for our president, and our appreciation [ of her service when with us. Fifth. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the stricken family and recorded in our minute book; also a page be dedicated to ner memory miu I copies sent for publication to the Fort I Mill Times and our church paper. 1 Mrs. J. A. BOYD, Mrs. E. W. KIMBRELL, i Mrs. J. B. MACK, Mrs. A. (?. JONES. Committee for Foreign Missionary Society. Tribute of Respect. We are deeply grieved by the death of Mrs. Susie Shannon Hafner, who, as our teacher and friend has entered so intimately into our lives and work, and I as a mark of respect and affection we I feel that it is not only our duty, but I our privilege to record this page to her memory. While we must bow with humility to the power ar.d wisdom of i the Creator, yet we deplore the loss of i one whom we feel has been so neces! sary in the work of our Sunday School. Her unfailing cheerfulness, her generous sympathy, and her readiness to share in the work to be done, were ; most commendable and worthy of our ] emulation. Our hearts are filled with loving svm; njtthv f?.r our pastor and the children which she left behind, and we trust that God, in His own good time and His own good way will comfort them as only He^an. Let this rTcord be spread upon our | minutes, and this copy be sent to our I pastor. C. S. LINK, Mrs. R. F. GRIER, Mrs. E. M. BELK, ! Committee for Presbyterian Sunday School.

One of the most enjoyable occasions of the season in Fort Mill was the annual supper of I the local lodge Knights of Pythias held in the town hall Friday evening. About two hundred were present. There was an abundance of choice eatables and after supper the local dramatic club entertained the crowd with a musical concert which added much to the pleasures of the | evening.
