E. Sharpe and children, of Greenville, are v.isitinp rolativps in this citv. Born Monday morning to Mr. and Mrs. Sam R. Harris, of Pleasant Valley, a daughter. Mr. A. R. Kinibrell, of Rock Hill, spent the last week with relatives in Fort Mill and the township. The best price paid for cotton on the local market yesterday was 11.60 cents. Seed brought 17 cents. Miss Robbie Howie went to Asheville, N. C., the last week to enter the Normal Collegiate Institute. Rev. G. C. Epps, of Gold Hill, leaves this morning for Fort! Worth, Texas, where he will take a special course at the South Western Baptist Seminary. Alex E. Young, for several years with the Parks Drug company, will leave next Monday morning for Atlanta to enter the f*. .1 C Til doumern CrtJUCgeux jriieuuiacjr. Catawba Lodge No. 56, A. F. M., will hold its regular monthly meeting this (Thursday) evening at the usual hour. All members urged to be present. Reports from over the State indicate that the cotton crop is short this year from 40 to 50 per cent. Let us hope that the price may make up for the deficiency. If your boy or girl has gone off to school send him or her The ; Times. You cannot imagine how i much the paper would be appre- 1 ciated and how it cures home- ?' sickness. 1 Mrs. Margaret Potts, whose ( ilness was noted in a recent is- 2 ^ sue of The Times, is still danger- t ously ill at her home on White ^ street. The family, it is said, en- r tertains little hope for her recovery. c Now, that the cotton season is on, The Times man hopes that 2 his farmer subscribers who have not paid for this year's paper will come in and settle up. Please don't put the paper man on until you pick your last bale. j The postmaster at Rock Hill has received a letter from the Postoffice Department in which the department declines to p^y half of the cost of paving Main street in front of the postoffice. The cost to the department would amount to about $500. It is to be hoped that the cot-' ton buyers of Fort Mill will pay the highest possible price for cotton this season. For the . farmers to take their cotton elsewhere means that much of their trade also goes to other markets and our merchants are the losers thereby. The new ginning outfit recently installed in the ginnery near the local cotton warehouse is now going along nicely. Owners and natrons of the plant are highly [ delighted with the work it is ^ doing and claim that it is with- [ out doubt one of the most com- t plete and up-to-date plants in the country. j Governor Cole L. Blease Fri- j day issued his first formal statement since the primary election. c held in this State on August 27. He demanded of the State Ex-1 ecutive committee that he be ^ declared the nominee, as the re- } turns indicate that he received i the greatest number of votes in $ the primary. c A movement is on foot in I.an- { castor county, says The News, J to raise money to purchase the historic spot, 5 miles east of . ?-Lancaster, which was the scene * of the massacre of Colonel Bu- t r ford's force by Colonel Tarleton during the American Revolution. The idea is to buy the place and present it to the Lancaster D. j * A. R's., who have expressed a willingness to accept it and later J erect a fitting monument to mark " the spot. ^ It is rumored in railroad circles ^ that the Southern Railway will 1 within a short time put on an c additional train to operate be- t tween Chester and Charlotte, 1 similar to the "Chester Swing" z which was operated to such r great advantage several years ago. The new train, report says, will leave Chester about 11 o'clook i a. m. and returning will leave c Charlotte about 3 o'clock p. m. j c Such a train is much needed by t patrons of the Southern and j would be given a paying patron- c age from the day of its inaugura- c tm, ' s Bethel Presbytery in Session. With perhaps two-thirds of the churches represented, the first < session of the fall meeting of 1 Bethel Presbytery was held in 5 the Fort Mill Presbyterian church 1 Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, i The sermon incident to the open- c ing of the meeting of the Presbytery was preached by the retiring 1 moderator, the Rev. Frank Dren- < nan, of Lowryville, whose dis 1 course was based upon the text < "Exercise thyself rather unto 1 godliness," 1st Timothy, 4-7. t Mr. Drennan's sermon was ar < able presentation of Scriptura. < truths and was listened to with < marked interest by the Presby- < tery and the congregation. 1 Upon the conclusion of the I sermon, the routine business oi 1 the Presbytery was begun b\ 1 the election of a moderator. Th<- : Rev. R. C. Morrison, of Ker \ shaw, was unanimously elected, I but on account of ill health was i excused from serving. The Rev. i F. W. Gregg, of Rock Hill, was I then nominated for presiding r officer of the Presbytery and, (( like Mr. Morrison, was unanimously elected. The Rev. H. R. \ i Murchison, of Lancaster, was j elected tenporary clerk. The ) Rev. W. A. Hafner, of Fort Mill, : is the stated clerk of the Presbytery. A number of important matters are to be disposed of at the sessions of the Presbytery, not the least of which is the offer ? which has been made by the c town of Laurens for the removal a of Chicora College from Greenville to that pla.ce. It is expected Ic that the final session of the o Presbytery will be held Thursday t evening. h ? m . 0 Promotion for Mr. Potts. Frank G. Potts, class of '06, instructor in modern languages , at the University ef South Caro- * lina. has been promoted to ad- : junct professor. Mr. Potts has been connnected with the teaching force of the university since * his graduation, and is an inspir- ' ing teacher. Mr. and Mrs. Potts r have just returned from a trip , abroad, where Mr. Potts had ; been studying in German universities for the Dast vear. 1 Annual Meeting of York Baptists. c The forty-fourth annual meet- li ing of the York Baptist Associa- o tion came to a close Thursday V afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, after a a two days' session with the v Pleasant Valley church, just t; over the line in Lancaster coun- p ty. The opening sermon Wed- a nesday was preached by Rev. n W. J. Nelson, of Rock Hill. Rep- r resentatives were present from p all the churches comprising the i; association, except two, and the \\ meeting was reported as one of t< a most pleasant and profitable f< aature. fi Just before adjournment the >ld officers. A. E. Willis, moderitor; Jas. F. Boyd, vice-modera,or; Sam M. Grist, clerk, and Nm. F. Boyd, treasurer, were selected. The next meeting of the asso- ea :iation will be held with the bt 'ort Mill church on Wednesday co ifter the third Sunday in Sep ember, 1913. y(j wi Fall Weather Now Here. Beginning with last Friday It his section has experienced a w ouch of the real article in the vay of fall weather, and there m ire those who predict that the A :ool "spell" will continue until eal cold weather arrives. This, >ay the local prophets, is not " ong otf. Early frosts, they pre iict, will be the rule and not the exception this year and the coal md wood dealers are in for a " ------ L??

The autumnal equinox ^ s due and anything unusual in he weather line may be attrib- * ited to this change in the seas- ? >ns, whether there are any f grounds for the same or not. This fall equinox shows up about ^ he time of certain storms every rear and as there is some reason 'or blaming the said equinox, it * jets the credit for high winds, leavy rains and the unpleasant ;wists in the temperatures. ^ Anyhow it is about time to >atronize the dry goods and do- . lartment stores and also the * laberdashers in quest of articles :omposing the winter dates.
