In the death of Rev. Joseph Bingham Mack, D. D., Fort Mill has lost one of her most prominent, influential and public-spirited citizens, the State one of its loyal patriots and leading men, and the Southern Presbyterian church one of its best known, most able and successful minis- 1 ters. | Words fail us by which we can fittingly portray the sincerity of this man's Christian character; , and in the observations and ex- , periences of a lifetime, the writer hereof cannot safely say that he has ever met or associated with one who seemed to walk < more nearly hand in hand with i God. Conscience and loyalty to I his Master guided every act and < word. He was a model of industry in his efforts to entertain and instruct his people in the ways of the Christian. He was strictly honest in the service he ren- i dered and the harvest is yet ripe j with the fruits of his labor. In J short, he was not only a model 1 rhriatian and teacher, but he 1 was an honest gentleman in the j highest sense the term implies. So perfectly natural was it for , hijn to do good, that to every e man* woman, or child, saint or ^ sinner, he always extended a t cordial greeting with words of r friendly advice that lent a ray of s light to brighten th? pathway of each thrpugh the journey of life. 11 He commanded the respect of all ? classes and sects of people, as ' the attendance at his funeral fully verified. And now, all that there was of this beautiful life has faded into the night of [j encfiess sleep; its gentleness and ? its nobility; its power and its a purity, pass before us like a o rapidly moving panorama, and t we awaken to the realization c that a great and good man has e ^ been taken from our midst. T ^ \l The country at large is deeply interested in the proposition now \before Congress to give each v chief executive of the nation a t single term of six years and t making him ineligible for re- t election. A resolution submit- c ting to the State Legislatures an amendment to the Federal constitution embodying this desirable reform has been approved J by a sub-committee of the senate j a judiciary committee, and it was \ expected that the house judiciary v committee would also report 1 favorably in the matter. If this e nation is to maintain its self- 11 respect and seeure proper execu- J tive action, untinged by selfish 1 political considerations, the con- J stitution should be changed in a the manner suggested before the \ time comes for another presi- t dential campaign. ]j o The Cunard Line, which boasts with pride that it "never lost a t passenger by shipwreck," and which has almost been foremost in t.hp rivalrv for safetv. has now decided to equip all of its vessels tj with the "nest" type of life1 j boats. It is pointed out that the ^ decks of ocean liners can carry j, four times as many lifeboats of; [] the "nest" type as of the ordi- j n nary type. Hence the claim, a alleged to have been made by the fi White Star Line, that "it is im- IV possible for a big ocean steamer a to carry lifeboats to accommodate * all on board." is an obvious ab- j; surdity. p A Winnsboro despatch to The y State Saturday stated that G. W. ft Ragsdale, a member of the ^ Frirfield bar, had definitely decided that he would enter the race this summer for Congress w from the Fifth district of which nr Fairfield, is a part. Mr. Rags- d dale had announced himself as a ^ candidate for the house of repre- J sentatives from Fairfield county, ^ Litf mfn fLn AAnnrrQP UUt IUO ClltlJ 1I11V UIC ^ sional race means, of course, that a he will not run for the former place. oJ C( The Times last week stated u that the $5 in gold awarded to F the history scholars during the Si commencement of the Fort Mill ** school was given by the local JY chapter of the U. D. C. This _ was incorrect. We have since learned that the money was giv- w en by the D. A. R. chapter of the th town, and are glad to give the sp credit where it is due. w ? | N The habit of paying honest y debts is roan's best recoraraen- y dation. St L?... The Times regrets to learn that Editor Hemphill is soon to resign his position with the Charlotte Observer and go to the New York Times. Major Hemphill is one of the most brilliant writers in the 1 South, if not in the entire coun- 3 try, and his removal is a great { loss to Southern journalism. j In his valedictory to Observer 1 readers, the Major will please ! let us know his sentiments re- 1 garding the Declaration and ] Birthplace mattters since as- , sociating with those Mecklen- | burgers. \ j Good Crop Abend. j The incessant rams of the first ? four months of the year have i left the ground in fine shape for ] cultivation in this section, and j the last two weeks of good j weather has served to give the farmers the long wished for ] > ' - . -.1- 1 cnance 10 pianc ineir crops, rui the last ten days fanners were to be seen planting in one field, hoeing in another and chopping in others. That the cotton crop, if seasons are favorable, will be a good one. is the belief expressed by one of ':he leading farmers of the township a few days ago. The corn yield, according to this farmer, will be as good as ever known, and the present outlook for a rich harvest in the oat fields is known to be good, and it is believed taht the present outlook :s favorable to a bumper crop in this section. Mrs. John Windell Dead. The Times has received a copy >f the Yonkers (N. Y.) States-' man which contains a notice of the death in that city on May 10th )f Mrs. Matilda Windell. Mrs. i Windell was the wife of John T. ? Mindell, a brother of W. H. Win- '* dell of Fort Mill township, whom t he visited about one year ago. Mrs. Windell died at St. John's r Riverside hospital, Yonkers, af- ? ter an illness of one year of ? Bright's disease.

TWO YEARS IN THE KLONDIKE. Monro* (N. C.) Journal. For a long time the Journal las been wanting to lay hold on Mr. Duncan Huntley of Monroe md make him tell its readers a story of his experiences in the Klondike, having known that he &fas one of the adventuresome nen who rushed to that country n pursuit of wealth and ronance in the days when those who braved the perils of the arctic circle were picking up gold ly the sack full, and others were inding only disappointment and some of them death, and all lardships unknown to those who stay peacefully at home. So, yesterday, when business in Mr. Huntley's store was slack, ike it is everywhere else, we ?ot the story. Ever since he was a boy and -ead about the cold country in liis school geography, Mr. Huntey had a desire and a determilation to go to Alaska some day. rhat some day arrived with him twelve years ago, for on the 14th if October, 1900, he found him - ir 1.1 i._ _ r >eu in une iuwii ui x^awsun, ivhich is the beginning of the nining district known as the Klondike, which takes its name from a small river of the country. Dn the day that he arrived the :own, which then numbered sev?ral thousand population, was turned to the ground. It was learly two years before he was )ack in the States again, and rnce since he has made a trip learly to the far north country, rle sailed from Seattle, Washngton, and landed at Skagway, vhich is about 1000 miles from Seattle. Thence he went 650 niles by pack and boat to Dawson. The Klondike district is ibout 30 by 50 miles. At that ,ime all the mining was done by land on the surface. Since then nachinery has been carried in md the mining is done on larger scale. Mr. Huntley never mined any >ut confined his efforts to lealing and trading in wood. U one time he worked as a day land at $10 per day, but when vages went to $8 per day he truck, bought a team and went nto the wood business. He figires that he averaged $50 per 1 lay with his team. But if wages vere high, so was everything lse. Beef steak sold at $1.50 >er pound, condensed milk that ells here for 20c a can cost 1.50 there, butter was $1.50 per ound, and bacon was 60 cents. )n the way over he fell in with man who was shipping in a erd of hogs, which were sold t 90c per pound dressed. The ! rover had started with 92 hogs >ut got there with not over half i erd. On the steamer the hogs ot cold and piled up so on each ' ther to keep warm that many f them were killed. The boat /as infested with bugs, wharf ats and these killed some of the ogs, gnawing great holes in , hem as they lay helpless under ] ach other. Dawson is about our hundred miles south of the 1 rctic circle and at one time Mr. luntley went as far north as six mndred miles north of the cirle. Here he remained a month nd all the time the sun was hining. On the circle is where hey have the fix months day nd six months nights that you nnr] n kniif l n f Un /v/?A/v??n cau auuui 111 tiic ctuuui hies. About June 21st the sun hines all the time for two weeks, 'nen the long nights begin to ppear and grow longor and long- v r till December 21st, when c here is a period of about two i reeks when the sun is not seen s t all. Then the days begin to ppear again and grow longer nd longer till June, when it is 11 day again. Of course, beween these periods there is a >ng twilight, during which time , is light enough to read when ] le sun is not actually seen. In j he long periods of night and i ay the people divide up their ays and nights just the same as 1 e do. When it is all day they 1 ill take their meals at the usual me, go to bed at the nsual hour, le sun still shining, and get up t the usual time, the sun still lining. The houses are built of logs latched with heavy moss till ley become air tight, and these re kept so warm inside that ater will not freeze inside while 1 le temperature outside is 72 be- T iw zero. The average winter c mperature is about 30 below. ^ he summer temperature is i bout 65 above and the days are leasant. The best working wea- ' ler is when the mercury is lout thirty below zero, for then zerythingis frozen so hard that lere is no thawing and henet verything is perfectly dry and othing does not freeze. A man its on two heavy suits of wool aderwear. a closely woven out garment and overalls, and is j ?ady for work. At night he eeps in a sleeping bag made of lankets or furs. About the midle of October the rivers all block d and do not begin to thaw till arch. The populatien of Daw>n has varied from seven to rty thousand.

The six work days of the last week were very profitably employed by the farmers of this township. Up to the beginning of last week the farmers were much behind in their crops, but the week's work accomplished much in the way of planting and the farmers' mind has been relieved of a great deal of anxiety. Repels Attack of Death. "Five years ago two doctors told me I had only two years to live." This startling statement was made by Stillman Green, Malachite, Col.
