Mt Holly, N. C., were drowned
in Catawba river near Mt. Holly

have had an abundance of rain,
while others are needing it badly.
Cotton is blooming freely in

Sunday afternoon Constable
J. J. Coltharp, assisted by Frank
Windle, rounded up and arrested
a party of gamblers at a point
near the railroad bridge over
Sugar creek in the upper part of
the township. The party, all
employees of the Pineville mill,
was composed of the following:
Jesse Smith, W. P. Butler, R. S.
Catch, A. L. Dobbins, Robert
Frye, Brice Daw kins, E. L. Numley.
The men were brought to
Fort Mill and on Monday were
fined $20 or 20 days by Magistrate
McElhaney. Smith, Butler,
Catch, Dobbins and Numley
paid up, but Frye and Dawkins
could not raise the money and
were taken to the gang Monday
afternoon. Tuesday morning,
however, the fine of Dawkins
, was received here and notice for
his release was at once sent to
the chainiranir authorities.
It is the general belief hereabouts
that the proposition to
, build a bridge across Sugar
, creek west of Fort Mill has again
blown up. The Lancaster officials,
we are told, do not look
favorably upon the proposition
of Supervisor Boyd, of York.
, that each county share half the
; cost. To build the structure at
the site selected the approach
from the York side to the bridge
. proper would be several times as
long as that on the Lancaster
? side and the officials of the latter
r county think that it would be
; unjust for them to pay any part
1 of the expense brought about by
this condition. A majority of
j the people of Fort Mill who have
r been heard to express themselves
in the matter agree that
| each county should stand for its
p approaches, as we are told was
3 done in the erection of the Ivy's
mill bridge over Catawba river.
Who Oar Mill People Are.
The vast number of operatives
who work in the Southern cotton
mills are people who have been
farmers or whose fathers have
worked on farms, and who have
come to the mills because they 1
afforded opportunities for making 1
more than they were making on ]
the farm, says the Charlotte (
Chronicle. In every instance .
they have been tenants and not
being able to make much in I
giving half or more of what they |
make as rent, or possibly on .
account of the run down con- i
dition of the land, they have j
sought an outlet through the s
mills. (
They come from a line of sturdy
ancestors who first sought the (
vast lands of America from an I
overcrowded European popula- i
tion, and who suffered the hard- g
ships of making the land culti. okin
anH thpn fnutrht and bled
t auiv UKU v>*v>. 0
for its freedom. They descended
from the same ancestors and are jrct
and the same people as the
Souil: is filled with. Some of J
the peo^,'* who live in the mills
in and ar*.'nd Charlotte are J
closely relateu to some of the
men who have made possible a
bigger success in life than they
have and who hi 'p to control,
the destiny of the t un'ry.
They have come U the mills to
spin the cotton and i ake it into '
cloth and other form- of apparel
for the people of th world to
consume rather thar. grow it.
The farmer grows it they develop
it. If every bo y stayed
on the farms to grow cotton and
no one worked in the mills, it
would not be long before the
ladies of the land would have to
go back to the spinning wheel
and the loom just as our grandmothers
used to do.
The mill people are a part of
the great industry of the South,
as much so as the farmer is; or
of the world for that matter, as
cotton is the greatest industry of
the world today.
Ty Cobb's Pay.
Ty Cobb, the world's best ball
player, gets $9,000 a year in hard
cash.
That means he gets $60 a
game.
He plays an average of two
hours in each game.
That figures 50 cents a minute
while he is in actual play.
He comes to bat an average of
not more than five times in each
game and chases four or five
balls in each game.
That means $6 every time he
comes to bat whether or not he
makes a hit, and $6 every time
he chases a Dan.
When he left the field for a
bath a few days ago and missed
his time at bat, he failed to earn
$6 that he gets in salary.Flint

The farmers of this section
are very busy trying to clean out
their crops. On account of the
recent rains the crops are in a j
grassy condition.

his home in this section the last

that the crops in this section were
the best he had seen.
