^ Announcement is made from
Pineville that the ChadwiekHoskins
mill will resume operations
within a short time. 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.

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,

To Posh "Rock Hill Plan."
Commissioner E. J. 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.

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.

Ground Hog Day Tomorrow.
Friday, February 2, is Ground
Hog Day and all believers in the
far famed animal are waiting to
speculate after his appearance,
whether or not he saw his shadow
and to predict "either fair or
foul weather for the ensuing six
weeks.
Almogf TiOqt T.ifa.
S. A. Stid, of Mason, Mich., will
never forget his terrible exposure to a
merciless 6torm. "It gave me a dreadful
cold," he writes, "that caused
severe pains in my chest, so it was
hard for me to breathe. A neighbor
gave me several doses of Dr. King's
New Discovery which brought great
relief. The doctor said I was on the
verge of pneumonia, but to continue
with the Discovery. I did so and two
bottles completely cured me." Use
only this quick, safe, reliable medicine
for coughs, colds, or any^throat or lung
trouble. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial
bottle free. Guaranteed by Fort Mill
Drug Co., Parks Drug Co. and Ardrey's
Drug Store.
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.
Shocking Sounds
in the earth are sometimes heard before
a terrible earthauake, that warn of the
coming peril. Nature's warnings are
kind. That dull pain or aehe in the back
warns^you the kidneys need attention
if you would escape those dangerous j
maladies, Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright's |
disease. Take Electric Bitters at once :
and see backache fly and all your best
feelings return. "My son received
great benefit from their use for kidney
and bladder trouble," writes Peter
Bondy, South Rockwood, Mich. "It is
certainly a great kidney medicine,"
Try it. 50c at Ardrey's Drug Store,
Parks Drug Co. and Fort Mill Drug
Co.
IT'S ALRIGHT
to have enough wood around so
the tramp can pay for his meaf,
and for kindiing and grate fires,
but it will not give you a uniform
heat. Nothing better than
"Blue Gem" Coal
for general heating purposes.
Don't forget that there are different
kinds of Coal. Be sure
you buy heating quality, not j
simply weight. Slate and rock ;
are heavier than coal and cheaper.
