Epps, of the Jirm of Meacham & Epps, left Tuesday evening for the Northern markets. Mrs. S. H. Epps, Jr., of the township, spent several days of the last week in Charlotte, the guest of Mrs. W. H. Coltharp. The Times sincerely hopes that not one of its readers has lost sleep over the result of the primary election of last Tuesday. The Congress of the United States adjourned Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock after one of the longest and stormiest sessions in the history of the nation. The Times has received announcement of the birth on August 22 of a daughter to Mr. ana Mrs. A. Y. Williamson, of Savannah, Ga. The Fort Mill graded and high school will open next Monday . morning for the 1912-13 term. pKilH nf school acre in the ; UTVI^ V?a*?V( w* ~ ._c, _ territory served by the school should be present at the opening. Col. Leroy Springs, of Lancaster, visited Fort Mill Monday rooming and made two short addresses in behalf of the candidacy of Judge Jones before the employees of the two mills in this city. The new Hall storeroom at the comer of Main and Booth streets is nearing completion. As stated in a previous issue of The Times, the building will be occupied when completed by the Harris Furniture company. Mrs. Mamie Henry, of St. Petersburg, Fla., who has been a guest at the home of J. H. Sutton in this township, left Monday evening for Spencer, N. C., to visit Mrs. J. L. Armstrong. Mrs. Henry will also visit relatives at Asheville before returning to her home. Messrs. J. A. Withers and J. E. Williamson, of Wort'nville, N. C.t were visitors to Fort Mill Sunday and Monday, making the trip from Worthville to Fort Mill by automobile. Mr. Williamson was some years ago superintendent of the Fort Mill Mfg. company of this city. The members of the Fort Mill Light Infantry will today (Thursday) hold a- competitive rifle shoot at the company's range on Catawba river. Several cash prizes are to be given the members making the best records, and the contest doubtless will be quite spirited. The Times is requested to state that during the progress of the work of remodeling the Fort Mill Methodist church that the sessions of the Sunday school of that church will be held each Sunday morning at 10 o'clock in the city hail. a coraiai invuation is extended the public to attend the Sabbath school meetings. Leah, the little four-monthsold daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Markey, died at the home of its parents on Forest street Sunday at noon, after an illness since birth. The funeral was conducted from the home Monday morning by Rev. Mr. Hair, of the Baptist church, and the little one was laid to rest in the city cemetery. It is reported that a sawing plant will in a short time begin operations in the large body of woods just north of Fort Mill and that the land will be entirely cleared of timber and probably put to cultivatipn another year. The land is owned by Col. Leroy Springs, of Lancaster, and the timber on it is considered the finest in this section. The Southern Railway will operate its annual excursion from points in the Carolinas to Richmond, Va., on Tuesday, September 10. A special train of Pullman cars and day coaches will leave Charlotte the evening of September 10 at 8 o'clock and arrive at Richmond the following morning at 6 o'clock. The round trip rate from Fort Mill will be $5.00. Quite a goodly sum of money has been raised throughout the countv and from elsewhere during the last ten days for the people of the Clover section who some weeks ago had their crops destroyed by a cyclone. Among the most liberal contributors to the fund were Congressman Finley and Senator Tillman, the former having donated $100, and the litter $50. w. THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. In Fort Mill as elsewhere throughout the county, the State and county Democratic primaries held Tuesday to nominate practically a full complement of public officials passed off without trouble of any kind so far as can be learned, with the largest primary vote in the history of the county being polled. Interest in the race for the governorship was intense and many of the friends of the two leading candidates. Governor Blease and | Judge Jones, were early astirworking tooth and nail to land every vote possible for their respective leaders. The net result in York county is a victory of something over 400 for Governor Blease. Two years ago Blease ' lost York county to Featherstone by 75 votes. In Fort Mill Tuesday Governor Blease did almost as well as he did here over Featherstone in the memorable primary of 1910, the vote this year being Blease 267, Jones 151. At the two boxes in Reck Hill Blease has a majority of 77 votes over Jones. Senator Tillman has carried York county by a substantial majority over both Talbert and Dial, but in Fort Mill many of his former friends not only refused to vote for him, but were actively opposed to his renomination, some because they considered him mentally and nhvsicallv incaoacitated for r?V *r - . the position and* others because of what they considered his unwarranted interference in the gubernatorial race.. Talbert received a plurality of the Fort Mill vote and it is freely predicted that if a second race is made I between Tillman and Talbert two weeks hence Talbert will get a majority of the votes here. The county vote shows that Hutchison, Haile, Johnson and Riddle are elected to the House of Representatives. McDow has defeated Beamguard for the State Senate. Brown is reelected sheriff, Tate clerk of% court, Boyd county supervisor, Louthian coroner, Carroll superintendent of education, Neil county treasurer, Love county auditor, Lumpkin and Smith 'county commissioners. Congressman D. B; 'Finley surpassed i 1* v?Jo nimseu in iuik. wumj auu ?o : easily renominated in the first ! primary.

In Fort Mill Tuesday unusual interest was displayed in the electiop of township road supervisor and magistrate. Magistrate f McElkaney was renominated and for road supervisor a second race will be made two weeks hence between Blankenship and Kimbrell: The vote for the two offices was as follows: Road Supervisor? C. P. Blankenship 184 D. G. Kimbrell 170 J. H. Sutton 54 Magistrate? R. P. Harris... 176 Jno. W. McElhaney 236 The News of Gold Hill. Fort Mill Times Correspondence. Capt. Claude B. Faris, who has been visiting his father's family, returned to his post of duty at Clemson college the last week. The farmers have been called ! from refreshment to labor and are now busy pulling fodder. The young folks have been having lots of picnics and parties and of course there is a lot of sparking, mixed with their fun. Indeed, there are not days and j nights enough in the week to get in all the parties wanted. Who can suggest a plan that will help the situation? The school opened here the last week with a fairly good attendance, though there are a number of children not in school. And, by the way, Gold Hill is j noted for irs never failing crop of "kids." Neither floods nor drought seems to affect the output. We don't mean to say j that they come spontaneously, ; but they get here all the same. Just the other ctey we heard a gentleman complaining about the brats being so expensive to raise, and this brought to my mind an incident of the war. In the Sixth South Carolina regiment there was a young man by the name of Coleman ?Bill Coleman. To call him red-headed wouldn't do him justice, for it was redder than red?seemed to be doubledyed. There was in my company a waggish young man by I the name of Harris and one day he says, "Bill, I can put you on a cheap plan to raise your children, if you should ever get into that business." "Well," says Bill, "let me hear your plan." "Well," says Harris, "as soon as you have one old enough to sit alone just take it out in a field and sit it on a stump, and the wookpeckers will feed it all day long and you will have nothing to do but clothe it." Now any one that is raising the redheaded variety of children might i save something by adopting the Harris plan. A gentleman passed through here recently with a trio of poodle pups. They were lily white and quite prettv. His orice Der pup was ten dollars and we did want one of them pups awfully bad, but the tens were not lying around much and they don't spontane around here no more than babes do, so we must leave off that luxury until a more convenient season. Splinter. Lost Home by Fire. C. N. Steed, superintendent of the Highland Park mill at Rock Hill, lost his home in that city early Sunday morning by tire. Nothing was saved of the furniture except two or three porch rockers. At the time of the fire Mr. Steed and his family were absent from Rock Hill, and no one had been in the house since Saturday afternoon when Mr. Steed and son went there and dressed. They spent Saturday night in Charlotte and returned to Rock Hill Sunday morning to nnu tneir home practically in ashes. It was stated that when the fire was first discovered it was burning up in the roof, and that on the lower floor the water faucets were open, indicating that someone had plundered the house and then set it on fire.
