SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST
to TIMES READERS.
1
Mrs. T. 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

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

in rapid succession and in ?
lust proportion to the heat of
summer will be the cold of this ?
-vinter. 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.

Now, Mr. Editor, before I

ike to say about the election of

Vrhy should the town people be

ax, and especially the mill
eople who do not care one whit
bout the roads and a great
lany of whom do not travel the

eople are to be allowed to vote
i the supervisor's election, then '
hy not allow us country people
) take part in the town election
