C., spent Sunday at the home 1 of his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth i Withers, in this city. 1 i 1 The lady readers of The Times ( will mis3 a treat if they fail to , look tnrough the advertising j columns of the paper this week. The Times is pleased to report ' that the little daughter of Rev. i and Mrs. S. P. Hair is con- ? valescent, after a serious illness of several days. young people of the town Monday night enjoyed a delight- | ful dance, given in the town hall , in compliment to a numbr* of visiting Winthrop young la- j.

Hammond, who has moved to Rock Hill. The "Rock Hill plan" for the ; reduction ox cotton acreage was : successfully launched in Georgia Friday and Saturday by Messrs. I E. J. Watson and J. G. Ander- i son, Frank Weldon, a well known man, being made State superintendent. Gov. Brown and other officials were among those who signed the reduction pledge. A report sent out from Sharon, this county, Friday stated that a party of twenty men of that ' community had bagged 101 rabbits in a hunt one day last week, which doubtless establishes a 1 record , for rabbit hunting in YofiT county. In the rabbits < killed a number were said to ( have been of the variety known J as the "marsh" hare, which is larger and more finely flavored 1 than the common rabbit. | j Miss Clara Smythe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira G. Smythe, was happily married last Wednesday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock to Mr. James Crane of the Providence section of Mecklenburg county. The marriage took place at the home of the brides parents, just south of town, the Rev. W. A. Hafner officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Crane will reside in Providence, where Mr. Crane is engaged in farming. John M. Harris has received a letter from Prof. L. A. Niven of Clemson college in which it is seated that Prof. Niven, accom.panied by an expert entomologist, will visit the home of Mr. Harris in Pleasant Valley Friday and from 1 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon will give a free demonstration of the proper method of "-Hipraying and pruningfruit trees. All parties interested in such matters are invited to attend this demonstration. I Miss Susie White, a teacher in the Fort Mill public school had the misfortune while in Rock Hill Saturday to have stolen from her a suit case containing a num-: ber of valuable articles. Miss; White had left the case in one of the Rock Hill dry goods houses, and during her absence from the store a thief had secured the grip and left the house unob served. A valuable gold watch, a fountain pen. and several pieces of wearing apparel were in the stolen suit case. These Will Grow Less Cotton.

The matter was given lengthy discussion and the hours 1 at which the drug stores are to be open Sundays was placed at 1 from 8 to 10 a. m. and from 3 to ( 5 p. m. . The next matter before council 1 was the passage of an ordinance providing for what is known as "privilege tax." Such a law has been in effect in Fort Mill for several years, but the tax has ' heretofore been paid by only a ; small number of those doing 1 business in the town. After discussion it was decided to require 2very one engaged in business to pay the tax and the ordinance, was enacted accordingly. The !! ordinance was ordered published i in The Times, and the same will appear in the issue of February 15. No other business being brought up, council adjourned to meet in regular session on Tuesday, March 5. A??rtriatinn. 1 VI cm *vww FoB^yi'ng is the program of the fir-. .

The high standing, both professional and otherwise, which the late Dr. Norton R. Hotchkiss had attained in New Haven is clearly shown by the press of that city, whose writers have penned eloquent tributes to his brilliance and worth. Dr. Hotchkiss, who died early last week, was a native of Fort Mill and had hundreds of friends in upper .South Carolina. He died after a long struggle with Kuchaemta. Three thousand people attended the funeral, which was conducted in the First Methodist church of New Haven. Three hundred seats were reserved for the members of theeommandery, who appeared in uniform, for members of the Second company, Governor's Foot Guard, of which he was a member, for members of the staff of ex-Governor Woodruff of which he was a member, and for the family. Tnere was a pr (fusion of flowers. Rev. Dr. Elmer A. Dent preached the funeral and paid Dr. Hotchkiss a glowing eulogy, referring to him as a man of "whom it could be said that every man coveted his friendship. lit was a representative citizen and a good citizen in every sense of the word. As a physician he studied himself for surgery and ht covered the power of accuratt diagnosis in medic ne which has produced many martyrs to the art of healing. Dr. Hotchkiss adds one more to that glorious band of immortals. Not onb . hut a nhilan WUS lit a |JII,tol\.inii ?^v?v .. , I thropist.

Dr. Dent talked at length o . the Christian life of the deceasei and toid how the physician ha< . asked to have poor people wh . were in distress sent to him fo . his best advice, ar.d he also cite . the case of a poor woman whos . life he had saved, who had no^ consecrated herself to do whs she could hereafter for the benef of common humanity. n Resolutions of sorrow wer adopted by the New Have a Medical Association and by tl e directors of St. Raphael's hosp e tal. f s Robt.

"There was, however, another decision which the judges were called upon to render. A medal was given for the best individual debator and the judges decided that Mr. Robert G. Lee should be the one to receive that honor. "Both sides of the question were handled well by these coming South Carolina orators and the speeches and the replies showed a remarkable ability on the part of the debators to grasp the vital points at issue and to handle them in a statesmanlike manner and a thorough study and research into the points at issue on the part of the de? * 99 Dators. Would Become Tarheels. Fort Mill Correspondence Charlotte Observer. Although physically Fort Mill township is only half-way concerned in the 35th parallel and the line between the Carolinas, there is no question but that in sentiment the whole township is favorable to North Carolina. A recent discussion among ten prominent citizens, who happened together, revealed that nine of them were in favor of making Catawba river the State line, and a further disclosure was that about the same proportion of those present were natives of North Carolina or direct descendants. So it is over the whole township, the native North State spirit is everywhere. Although surprising ignorance has been manifested of just what is required in the matter, it is feared to be an insurmountable proposition, that is, the changing of the line. However, this does not deter much serious talk every day. Fort Mill township is cut off from the rest of the county and State of South Carolina by the river, the only connection being two expensive but inconveniently located bridges, which our people were taxed to erebt. Across the river seems like a foreign country, as compared with Mecklenburg county. Again the people are bowed down under heavy taxation and reckless appropriations and the tax rate of Mecklenburg, which is 75 per cent less, appeals mightily, as well as the good roads and other good things it has accomplished. The best price paid for cotton on the local market yesterday was 9 1-2 cents. Blamed a Good Worker. "I blamed rny heart for severe distress in my leftside for two years," writes W. Evans, Danville, Va., "but I know now it was indigestion, as Dr. King's New Life Pills completely cured me."

The Rock Hill Evening Herald, the office of which is now located on West White street, announces that it will move into new quarters about March 1. The change, it says, besides being a great convenience to the business and editorial departments, will allow , the erection of the large two revolution press, which has been stored in a warehouse since the new owners of the Herald took charge. As an old style press has been in use a better paper is promised when the new equipment is installed. Before the Evening Herald was established an effort was made to secure a! building in which the press could be placed, but none was available. Governor Blease has approved the act creating Jasper county out ot portions of Hampton and Beaufort counties. The election on the new county was held last summer. Almost Lost His Life. S. A. Stid, of Mason, Mich., will; never forget his terrible exposure to a merciless storm. "It gave me a dread- ' ful cold," he writes, "that caused j severe pains in my chest, so it was hard for me to breathe. A neighbor 1 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.
