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.

of Judge Jones before the
employees of the two mills in
this city.
The new Hall storeroom at the

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.

that during the progress of the

Mill Methodist church that the

of that church will be held each
Sunday morning at 10 o'clock in
the city hail. a coraiai invuation

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

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.

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.
