From the society columns of the Sunday State it is learned that Fort Mill now has a "card" club. It is not stated whether whist, poker, or set-back are the games played in the meetings. The Times is requested to announce that the annual Gold Hill picnic will be held tomorrow /EViriovi npur thp home of Hon. \1 I IV4I4 1 / ItVMi v.v S. H. Epps.

Fort Mill's candidate for the Legislature, reached home Saturday evening after a week's campaigning ir the county. He left again yesterday afternoon to be present at the first meeting of the week, which is to be held today (Thursday ) at Clover. Rev. G. C. Epps, of Dallas, N. C., is spending a month's vacation at the home of his father, S. H. Epps. Sr., in this township. Rev. Mr. Epps went to St. Matthews Saturday to till the pulpit Sunday of Rev.

The speaking will be ironthe stand in Confederate Park. Much interest is being manifestec throughout the county in the campaign and a large crowt doubtless will be out to hear the candidates when they appeal here next Saturday.

This is taken to mean that the caterpillars as soon as they are hatched out will direct their attention to the cotton plants as well as corn and grasses. It seems certain that Fort Mill will have an "Ira B. Jones Club" j at work between this and election day. A petition for members to the proposed club has been circulated on the streets and a score or more of voters have attached their names thereto. In signing the petition the voter, it is said, pledges himself to vote for Jones and use his influence to get others to vote for the Lancaster man. The high plane upon which the county campaign meetings are * "? * A I* ] being conducted is a iact ior which every citizen who loves the dignity and honor of his community may well be thankful. It is no time for mudslinging, personal abuse and vituperation. One of the distinguishing marks of a good citizen is self-control, and a citizen unable to exercise that virtue is an unsafe member of the body politic, whether he be a mere voter or an office-seeker. Injured by Fall from Train. Friends in this section of Mr. J. C. Mc?lhaney, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. VV. McElhaney, of Fort: Mill, will regret to learn that the young man is confined to a Chester hospital as the result of a fall from a freight train in that city early Sunday morning. Mr. McFlhaney has for several : months filled a position on the police force of Rock Hill. Upon being excused from duty Satur-j ? -- ~ k 1- l>/\ a crr\ ti\ uay IliJ^UL UK UCtlUCU IV ft\j vv Chester. On reaching that city Mr. McEihaney misjudged the1 speed at which the train was moving and in alighting therefrom was thrown violently to the ground sustaining an injury to his back and a badly sprained ankle. The accident to Mr. McEihaney happened about 1 o'clock Sunday morning and, being rendered helples by his injuries, the young man lay beside the railroad track for several hours, until discovered by a passerby, when he was removed in an ambulance to a Chester hospital. It was at first feared that Mr. McEihaney had ; been internally injured, but it now seems that his most serious injury was to his ankle and it is expected that he will be able to return to his home here in a short time. Happy Gathering of Old Men. The home of Afr. D. G. Kimbrell, two miles south of town, was the scene of a happy gatherine Tuesday, when seven of the , oldest men of the township gathered at the home to partake . of a picnic dinner to which they ( had been invited. The total age of Mr. Kimbrcll's seven guests aggregated 533 years, or an average of 76 years and a few months, and is without doubt the oldest set of men who have joined together for a festive occasion in this section in many ; years. Those composing the ; party, with their ages, were: ; Frank Powell, 81: A. S. White, ; 80: Jno. Kimbrell, 80; T. D. 1 Faulkner, 78: James Potts, 75; R. B. Burns, 71; J. M. Arm* strong, 68. The old citizens enjoyed themselves immensely and all wished for their host many years of [ prosperity and happiness. i New Paper for Yorkville? One of the Fort Mill men who I visited Yorkville last Wednesday ? and attended the State campaign 1 meeting, reported upon his reJ turn that a movement was on r foot in that city to establish another newspaper. It was said i that several of the most wealthy and influential men of Yorkville ; were pushing the project and : that it was expected that a , strong company would be organized and the new paper r probably would appear within j the next two months. Announcement comes from * Washington City that the nation5 al congress will adjourn Saturr day, after one of the longest sessions on record. Suspended From Soldieas' Home. Fort Mill people generally will read with interest the following article taken from the Columbia State of Thursday: Samuel F. Massey, who, a short time ago sent a communication to The State referring to an incident at the Confederate Home in which he stated that H. W. Richardson had forbidden the use of his name in the columns of a newspaper, has been suspended for 30 days. The charges preferred against Mr. Massey are insubordination, breach of rules, drunkenness and insulting a member of the board of commissioners. Mr. Massey says that he was not cited to appear before any members of the board and that only two members of the board were present, Mr. Richardson and Dr. F. W. P. Butler. The trouble ending in the suspension of Massey had its beginning when Major Richardson chairman of the board of commissioners and a salaried officer, appointed of Gov. Blease, told Edward J. Jones, a Confederate veteran, but not an inmate of the Soldiers' Home, that he could not hold his job as hospital steward at the home if he did not bestir himself in behalf of Blease. Massey heard of the threat, and understood that it applied to all employes whether inmates of the home or not, and so reported it. Later, Maj. Richardson, in a ta'k at the home, denied that he referred to all employes. Mr. Massey was not then allowed a hearing, and made a statement in the newspapers. He did not regard Maj. Richard-1 son's admonition not to use his name, and his suspension is the final result. Mr. Massey was a member of Co. A, Second battalion, cavalry, under Capt. Jas. P. Adams of this county. He was afterwards in Co. H, Fourth South Carolina cavalry, commanded by Col. Rutledge, and was under Capt. J. C. Foster. He was wounded at Trevillion station but went through the battle anyhow. He is from Lancaster county. Commenting editorially on the above The State says in conclusion: "In our opinion the transgression of Major Richardson is a thousand times greater than that of Private Massey." A Day of Prayer for Jones. The Ministerial Union of Columbia has named Sunday, next, August 18, as a day of prayer on the political situation in this State, asking that on that day all the ministers in their sermons invoke Divine aid to rid South Carolina of Bleasism. It is further asked that tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 5 o'clock the people of the State gather in their homes and pray for Divine deliverence from the present political situation, and to ask that only pure, clean and honorable men be elected to office. Who Will Win? One week from next Tuesday, which will be August 27, the fr^nre r>f Rnntti Carolina will tro V/A MVV?V?* S'V.. - w to the polls and decide the issue as to whether Ira B. Jones or Cole L. Blease will be governor for the next two years, for although there is a third candidate, John T. Duncan, in the race, he is not liable to poll at the outside over 5,000 and is not a factor. The fight is between Blease and Jones and one or the other will be governor. The campaign which is just on | the eve of being brought to a 1 close, is one of the most spectacular this State has witnessed in many years, certainly since the days when B. R. Tillman, the rugged farmer of Edgefield, was swept into the governor's office on a wave of revolt against | the Democracy which had ruled | from the time the carpetbaggers and radicals were turned out following the upheaval in 1876. Even that campaign pales into insignificance wnen cumpai cu with this of 1912. for the bitterness and the language which has been used on the stump has passed all bounds of imagination for invective. It's a campaign which will go down in the history as the most bitter of the age. There will be 110,000 and probably 115,(JG0 ballots cast in the election, for the former number has been polled once or twice in previous years and it is believed that the figures will reach the latter proportion this year. Two years ago Blease was elected governor in the second primary over C. C. Featherstone. receiving a total of about 56,000 to 51,000 for Featherstone. This year the forces behind Blease and Jones are claiming victory by majorities ranging from 10,000 to 25,000, the Blease estimate running from 10,000 to 18,000 and the Jones prediction from 10,000 to 25,000. There are just six more meetings to be held in the campaign, those at Greenwood, Abbeville, Anderson, Walhalla, Pickens, and the closing meeting at Greenville on the 22nd. % Flying Men Fall victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles just like other people, with like results in loss of appetite, backache, nervousness, headache, and tired, listless, run-down feeling. But there's no need to feel like that as T. D. Peebles, Henry, Term., proved. "Six bottles of Electric Bitters," he writes, "did more to give me new strength and good appetite than all other stomach remedies! used." So they help everybody. Its folly to suffer when this great remedy will you from the first dose. Try it. E50 cents at Ardrey's Drug Store, s Drug Co. and Fort Mill DrugCo. Senate Passes Postoffice Bill. The postoffice appropriation bill, which has been before the 1 United States Senate since May 2, passed that body Tuesday night at the end of two days of sharp fighting over provisions relating to parcels post, good roads improvement and the affiliation of postal employes with labor organizations. As it goes back to the House, it contains some restrictions upon the rights of postal employes to join outside organizations, and an entirely new system of parcels post, based on the "zone plan," with varying rates for carying distances.
