SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. J. W. Lynn and family have returned to Fort Mill from Hillsboro, N. C., and will make this city their home fn the future. Rev. E. A. Hartsell, who moved from Fort Mill to Chesterfield about six >ears ago, spent the last week with relatives in this township. Rumor has it that the coming summer will witness the erection of a new and modern ginnery at a point just south of town, where the Doby's and Barber's bridge roads unite. W. L. Hall a few days ago bought from Mrs. Anna Barber Harris, of Stony Point, N. C., two houses and lots in the "Paradise" settlement of the town, the consideration lor which was not made public. Miss Lizzie orasweu, a >uung lady of the Harrison neighborhood, died Saturday after a protracted illness. The funeral service was held Sunday morning at Harrison Baptist church, the Rev. Mr. Davis having charge, and the interment was at the community burial ground. } T. M. Hughes, one of Lancaster's progressive real estate men, carries in this issue of The T mes an advertisement of a number of pieces of desirable real estate in this township. Prospective buyers of Fort Mill property should not fail to read the adv. of Mr. Hughes. A special invitation has been issued to each member of Catawba lodge No. 56, A. F. M., to attend its monthly meeting in the lodge room this (Thursday) evening. The meeting will be presided over by District Grand Master Myron H.

Before returning home Mrs. Atwater will visit her son in WinstonSalem, and her daughter, Mrs. Barrett, in Conway. Mr. James Wingate, a well x known farmer, died Thursday at his home, about ten miles north of Fort Mill, after an illness of only a few days of pneumonia. The funeral and burial took place Friday morning at Pleasant Hill Baptist church. Mr. Wingate was about 40 years of age and unmarried. Kitty Sanders, a colored woman of the township, dropped dead on Main street Saturiay afternoon at about 7 o'clock. The woman had shown no previous signs of illness and her sudden demise caused quite a commotion among the large number of negroes on the street. The contract for the erection - ? * ' O. 01 L>ODy S Dnage over ou^ai creek, six miles south of Fort Mill, was on Wednesday awarded to Henry McQuirt, of Rock Hill, the contract price being $220. The expense of building the bridge is to be borne jointly and in equal amounts by the counties of York and Lancaster, the creek being the line between the eounties. The election held Thursday in Lancaster on the question of extending the town's limits from one-haif to one mile, resulted in the overwhelming defeat of the proposition. The vote was, within the corporate limits, 71 to 37 against the extension. In the proposed new territory, 171 to 8 against the extension.

I REV. JOSEPH BINGHAM MACK ! HAS PASSED TO HIS REWARD Friday night at 9 o'clock Rev. Dr. James Bingham Mack, on< of the most able and widely known ministers of the Southerr Presbyterian church died suddenly at his home on East Con! federate street, this city. Dr, Mack had been in failing health for more than a year, and while it was known that he was daily growing weaker, his family and most intimate friends did not ; realize that the end was so near, I and his sudden passing was i great shock to all. With him ir the end were his wife and children, with the exception of twc sons, Col. William Mack anc Harry Mack, of New York city. Dr. Mack was conscious up to a few moments before his death, and the passing was like unt< one falling asleep, a triumph oi death through the religion ht professed. Dr. Mack was a native of New York State, having been born there in 1838, but his parents moved South in his infancy, locating first at Knoxville and latef moving to Columbia. He was licensed to preach in 186(1 and few men of the church have been permitted to serve longer and more successfully in the cause of Christ. It is upon record that during his fifty-one years in the ministry Dr. Mack was instrumental in the organization of one hundred churches in this and adjoining States. He was the moving spirit in the erection of more than sixty-five houses of worship, had induced more than one hundred young - *- I men to enter tne ministry, anu during the years of his service had received into the church more than eight thousand souls. This is indeed a remarkable record and one that has been attained by but few ministers of the Southern church. Dr. Mack was classed as one and the last of the set of great Presbyterian divines known as "the giants:" Thornwell, Miller, Gireaudeau, Mack. The funeral service was held Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Fort Mill Presbyterian church, the Rev. George A. Blackburn, of Columbia, having charge, 'l he church was crowded to overflowing with people of all ages and sects who wished to pay respect to the memory of the beloved minister. The pallbearers were his sons, Messrs. William and Harry Mack, of New York, Edward Mack, of Cincinnnati, Murray Mack, and W. B. Ardrey, son-in-law, and Joe Belkyigrandson, of Fort Mill. In his remarks, Dr. Blackburn painted a beautiful word-picture of the life, work and passing of this great man. Dr. Blackburn said among other things he felt that it would have been the wish of the deceased that he make an appeal over his coffin to the unsaved. His remarks were uj>on death, which was the penalty of a broken law to the unsaved, but * .? m only a sweet sleep to tne unristian. Dr. Blackburn drew a graphic picture of the outstretched arms welcoming to the heavenly home the soul of the incoming pastor and evangelistwelcoming him to the eternal habitations, "for," said he, "the Scriptures authorize us to imagine such a scene, as heaven is not a place of insensibility. Therefore our hearts are not sad. for we realize that our deceased brother is but asleep." The burial was made in the family plot at the Fort Mill cemetery. Joseph Bingham Mack was born in New York State in 183? and was in his 74th year. He got hia collegiate education at Jackson College, Tenn., taking the B. A. decree 1854. He was a Presbyterian by birth anc tradition. Soon after his graduation he determined to enter th( ministry. He entered Columbia Theological Seminary. June, 1860, he was licensed t( preach by the Presbytery ol Maury, and was ordained Janu ary '62, by the Presbytery ol Harmony. He served as chaplain in th< Confederate army from '63-'65, In his devotion to the cause ol the South, in his loyalty to his State and the issues for which she fought, not even Arnolc DeWelles Miller was more ardently a Confederate. In 1867 Dr. Mack becamt pastor of Zion church, Charles C r u'hiph phurrh hf LUI I , kjt V/ f *' IllVil V?l M* V?a >< I served until 1869. He became evangelist of Charleston Presbytery 1870. From 1871 to '75 he was pastoi of Rocky River (N. C.) church. He became pastor of the churcl at Fort Mill in 1876, remaining as such for a year. From 187$ to '81 he was pastor of the Firs Presbyterian church in Columbia He then became financial mana ger of the Columbia Theologica Seminary and Davidson College N. C., in 1881, remaining a: such until '88. He becamt evangeiist of Fayetteville Pres bytery '89, evangelist for tht Synod of Georgia in 1890, ant > had continued so up to the tinn of his death. He was a man o great brain?a deep theologiai i and a scholar. He was un compromisingly a Presbyterian He preached with great power i and convinced and convertet i thousands. His name was i ' synonym for strength. He wa strong in faith, orthodox ii every point. His sermons wen i noted for their depth of thought strength and logicv As a speake ' | he was earnest, convincing ant r impressive. : Dr. Mack's last charge was a - College Park, Ga. Six month ago advancing age and failinj health caused him to resign ant v. . K % he returned to Fort Mill to spend the last months of his life. Dr. Mack was married to Miss Harriet Banks in 1864. To them ? were born seven children: Wil. liam Mack, L. L. D. and Harry i Mack, of New York; Rev. Dr. . Edward Mack, of Lane Seminary, . Cincinnati; Mrs. Elizabeth M. Belk, Mr?. W. B. Ardrey and i F. Murray Mack of Fort Mill. ? Dr. Alexander Mack of Atlanta, r another son, died some years aco. 1 CUrk Will Take No Chance*. ' Speaker Champ Clark will take no chances of losing both the presidency and his seat in Con' gress, with possibly the house I speakership, according to Washington despatches. Mr. Clark will tile his petition as a candi1 date for the Democrat nomina( tion as congressman from the Ninth Missouri district before ? - ? % i i . | June tj, says the aespatcn, a no continues, the Democratic mem, bers of the Missouri delegation at a conference decided to advise , the speaker to take this actio:. They went to him and urged him j to file his papers in order that lie might return to Congress if he i should not receive the presiden, tial nomination." The speaker I stated privately that he would take the delegation's advice. I Items of Local Interest. Robt. Hamilton, Jr., of Jones' ville, a student of the A. & M. 1 college of North Carolina, visited 1 relatives in the township the last week. J. L. Weeks, one of Pineville's oldest residents and a Confederate veteran, has been seriously ill at his home in that village for several days as the result of a fall which he sustained in crossing a street. R. B. Arrington, W. S. Lee, Z. V. Taylor and several other officials of the Southern Power Company spent Monday at the eletro chemical plant at Nitrolee, near Great Falls, S. C. This is the plant where fertilizer from the air is manufactured by the electro-chemical process. Rev. Mr. Wilkerson, who was appointed by Presiding Elder T. C. O'Dell to take up the work of the late Rev. R. A. Yongue on East Chester circuit, has declined, and the presiding elder 1 will make a new appointment in a few days.?Chester Reporter. H. F. Jones, for a year or more ' superintendent of the Milll'ort mill in this city,? has resigned that position to accept the superintency of the Eureka mill at Chester. Mr. Jones is succeeded ! at the Millfort mill by W.L. Boyd, ' formerly boss carder and spinner. The National Ginners' report on the condition of the cotton crop throughout the belt was issued Monday at Memphis, Tenn., and gave the condition of the crop as 79.4 percent. Cotton experts had figured the condition at 75, and the report caused the market to drop several points. Hamilton Carhartt, the millionaire overall manufacturer of Detroit, on Monday bought through the trust department of the Peoples National bank, of Rock Hill, 200 acres of theChilds tract of land lying along the Southern railroad near its Catawba river bridge. The price 'paid per acre was $50. Mr. > Carhartt now owns in the vi1 cinity of the bridge something like 1,200 acres of land. Mayor A. R.. McElhaney gives 5 notice elsewhere that residents , of Fort Mill must at once clean up their premises and keep them r in sanitary condition during the ! summer, many complaints havI iag reached him during the last . few days of the filthy conditions ; in certain sections of the town of t hog pens, etc. If the owners of hogs do not keep the pens clean ) it may be necessary for town f council to prohibit the keeping . of hogs within the corporate ? limits. Probably no woman in this J section of the country enjoys the : sport of angling more, or is more successful with hook and line, 5 than Mrs. W. H. Jones, whose j home is one mile west of Fort 1 Mill. Mrs. Jones, with her hus' band, often spends a day on the banks of Catawba and it seldom i happens that she returns empty ' handed to her home. Saturday's * angling proved quite profitable for Mrs. Jones, the result of her " day's visit to the Catawba being the landing of twelve carp having a total weight of 37 pounds. l Rev. James Blackburn, pastor r of Arsenal Hilkhurch, Columbia, 3 who came to fort Mill baturaay t for the funeral of Rev. Dr. J. B. . Mack, preached an eloquent and - forceful sermon Sunday morning 1 from the pulpit of the Fort Mill , Presbyterian church. Rev. Mr. 5 Blackburn stated at the outset b of his remarks that he had 26 - years ago conducted a meeting ? in the Fort Mill church, the Rev. I Dr. Thornwell then being pastor, J in which there were 50 accesf sions to the church upon proi fession of faith. Mr. Black burn's subject Sunday was the . personality of Christ, and the , manner in which he handled the i subject proved highly interesting a and instructive to his hearers. s ? 1 Kill the Flies. B If every family in Fort Mil J would put to use one of those "Wonder" fly killers for sale bj t McElhaney & Co. the town woulc g be rid of thousands of flies with ijin a week. Glorious News comes from Dr. J. T. Curtiss, Dwight, Kan. He writes: "I not only have cured bad cases of eczema in my patients with Electric Bitters, but also cured myself by them of the same disease. I feel sure they will benefit any case of eczema." This shows what thousands have proved, that Electric Bitters is a most effective blood purifier. Its an excellent remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running sores. It stimulates I liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion, builds up the strength.
