jg SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. i T~ B. Mills made a business trip to Winston, N. C., Tuesday. Lewis Hucks and Miss Floyd Gordon, two young people of the mill village, were married Thursday evening by Magistrate McElhaney. The city authorities should rigidly enforce the ordinance prohibiting the throwing of melon rhinds and other decaying vegetable matter in the alleys and back lots. H. C. Culp, who has charge of the grading of the race track at the new Mecklenburg fail ground, Charlotte, was a visitor to Fort Mill Sunday evening. The Propst company is doing the work. Mrs. Jane Young has bought from the reai estate firm of ] Bailes & Link the Barber house, near the public school on Baptist Church street, and is this week moving into the newly acquired property. It is stated on the streets that city council will find it necessary in order to preserve the paving in Main street to compel the drays of the town to load and unload their goods from the rear doors of the storehouses. The traveling salesrren of this State are not at all pleased with the present mileage books issued by the railroads operating in South Carolina and wiil do every-1 thing possible to induce the roads issue the interchangeable books in this State. The following Fort Mill men have been drawn to serve as jurors for the first week of the court of general sessions for York county, convening on Mon i day, July 8: E. S. Parks, S. P. Sutton, 0. S. Parks, D. G. Culp. Judge G. W. Gage will preside. The congregation of St. James Methodist church (colored) held a rally Sunday for the purpose of raising money to help pay the balance due on the new church and the sum of $141.35 was raised. Since that time the congregation has received a donation of $5 from Col. Leroy Springs, of Lancaster. A giant radish, the growth of which with the exception of a head was almost identical with the human form, was brought to town Saturday by J. H. Stegall of lower Fort Mill. The radish was displayed in the store window of the Parks Drug company and proved quite a curiosity to the passing throng. A report has been printed this week in a number of South Carolina papers telling of the killing of a negro in Fort Mill last Sunday. It is not known how or where the report was started, n.,*. ;? woo nntrnp There was UUL IV niw uiimwvi no killing, not even a difficulty, in Fort Mill or the township Sunday, so far as The Times has been able to learn. The Carhartt mill team. Rock Hill, defeated the Fort Mill team in two frames of ball the last week. The first frame, played Thursday on the local diamond, went to the Rock Hillians by a score of 8 to 7, while the second game Saturday at Rock Hill went the same way by a score of 14 to 0. The Fort Mill boys are in great need of practice. Dr. J. L. Spratt. a member of the Charlotte temple of Shriners. returned to Fort Mill Saturday from Asheville. N. C., where he attended the joint meeting of Omar and Oasis temples. The meeting was one of the largest and best ever held in the Carolinas. Over 140 members were initiated into the mvsteries of the OUI llicr. There are a great many people who labor under the delusion that what was once known as the "drop letter" can be mailed with a one-cent stamp. That is a mistake. Every sealed letter, if it contains only printed matter, requires two cents. So does a written letter whether sealec or unsealed. These rules applv as much to letters addressed tc people in our own town as tc people in San Francisco. The Pineville correspondent ol the Charlotte News announced i few days ago that Mr. G. VV. Bunch had resigned as cashier ol the Pineville Loan and Savings Bank and would return in a short time to his former home ir Kentucky.

Henry Putnam, a young white man who formerly lived in one of the mill villages in Fort Mill, was shot and instantly killed by Police Officer J. A. Eubanks, of Rock Hill, early Sunday morning. The killing occurred on the railroad near the Victoria cotton mill nf which Putnam was an ' employe. The first news of the tragedy was brought to Fort Mill by the crew of freight train No. 74, about 6 o'clock Sunday morning. According to report, Putnam had started along the railroad to the station up-town to board a train for Chester. He rode several yards on a freight train going in the direction of the 1 depot and jumped off. He was arrested by Officer Eubanks for violation of a city ordinance and the two started along the tracks toward the guard house. They I had gone only a short-distance when Putnam refused to go further and the shooting folj lowed. At the inquest Sunday ; afternoon several witnesses were , i examined, but the defendant did j not take the stand. There were no eye witnesses to the tragedy, j One of the crew of the freight train on which Putnam had ridden a short distance stated that he had asked Eubanks why he : shot Putnam and that Eubanks i replied that he did not know what else to do. It is stated I that a plea of self defense will be : entered by the defendant, claiming that Putnam made a motion as if to pull a revolver from his I hip pocket. Eubanks was taken to York jail to await trial, but it is understood that steps will be taken at " ~ ' - ~ h MAIAOOO^ All once CO IIUVC mm icica>?;u un bond. Putnam, the dead man, was 23 years old. Friday's Rain Did Much Damage. The rain of last Friday morning was one of the heaviest that has visited this section in a long while and in many places the land was very badly washed. The precipitation was over three inches in this place and people in other parts of the township believe this record was equalled if not exceeded in several localities. The ground was badly washed, more than was the case during the last big rain, by reason of the fact that the ground was newly plowed. In many fields terraces an d ditches were newly I made, but the heavy rainfall coming within the course of a few hours caused a flood that the i banks could not hold and consequently the water rushed across ! newly plowed fields like small , rivers, badly disturbing the recently planted crops. A number of farmers along J various creeks lost a great deal I of hav by reason of the sudden and high rise of the streams. State Campaign Now On. The eounty-to-county campaign in South Carolina opened Tuesday at ten o'clock in Sumter, and until August 22d, a week before the Democratic primary, the candidates for State offices and for ] national congress will be on the road making friends among the voters of the State. The campaign is expected to bring forth interest in politics and some warm fights are expected. Especially will the race for governorship be interesting and for this office there are four candidates, Governor Cole L. Blease, former Chief Justice Ira B. Jones. John T. Duncan and ' T. S. Connor. The first two will be the only ones to make a showing. i There will be twenty odd candidates in the running for the various offices and the eyes of the State will follow them in their tours. + + ?

Parks Dri el -j Agency for Ifyal FERTILIZER FROM AIR. Charlotte Evening Chronicle. In a 24-hour test conducted under the eye of expert chemists and electricians, free nitrogen has been taken from the atmosphere, wrested by science from its hitherto uninvaded stronghold, and will be made to serve the most practical service in the enriching of the earth so that crops may better grow and flourish and in replacing a product before brought from far-away Chili. The success of the severe test completed in the plant on the Catawba river at sunset yesterday evening marked the beginning of a new era in the South, an era in which the highest grade ,,m -1 _ l fertilizers will ne compounded not with imported products from a distant country, but from the abundance of the atmosphere where the nitrogen has existed for ages, a valuable element that could not be separated from the oxygen with which it is mingled, although it is in the air that is breathed and constitutes the bulk of the entire atmosphere. The wresting of this valuable product from its place in nature, has been effected by means of the high voltage electric current, a method which in late years has already worked many wonders in the world of chemistry. The Southern Electro-Chemical Company of New York, organized some time ago to test the process of Dr. Albert Pauling of Germany, who had previously tested the process in his own country, working in concert with representatives of the Southern Power Company, secured a site and made the necessary arrangements for beginning work on a 4.000 horse-power plant near the Great Falls development of the Southern Power Company. This plant is now practically completed and recently it was determined to make a 24-hour test of the plant and ascertain if the process would work satisfactorily, and if the various apparatus and processes were properly provided and adjusted. The result of the tests made throughout yesterday were all that had been dreamed of. The product showed up almost perfect and everything that had been claimed for it and from the limestone and the atmosphere, brought together the full process, the final product come forth, nitric acid and then nitrate of lime. While the experiment was in progress trained men, chemist and electricians, watched every step in the process, and every part of the outfit of the new plant, and valuable notes were secured indicating where improvements or changes might be made to advantage. But the chief thing was the success of the process itself. The nitric acid and the nitrate of lime emerging from the chain of tanks, retorts and chemical reactions, proved clearly and conclusively that the process was a great success. It was a momentous time in the history of the South for it is believed that the process will enable the owners to supply, the necessary ingredients for commercial fertilizers that will place right at the doors of the farmers the product which they require if they are to have good crops, green fields and flourishing grain and cotton. The necessity of paying the freight of several thousand miles to Chili to secure nitrates will soon become unnecessary. The work which the electrochemicol company has achieved, it is hoped, will result in a revolution in the fertilizing of the soil in the Southern States. W. M.
