A marriage of interest to the people of Fort Mill and vicinity, to take place the evening of October 9th at the home of Mr. C. M. Faris in Charlotte, is that of Miss Florence Kimbrell. -i 1.,. 1- ft i.. ?.,,j T I UaUgmrr ui mr. anu mio. a. u. Kimbrell of Gold Hill, and Dr. Dew itt Talmage Smith, of Gainesville, Fla. Invitations to the marriags were received in Fort Mill several days ago. Sharon, a town in the western part of the county is very much exercised over the appearance of ' scarlet fever, the first case seeming to be sporadic. However, it has spread to such an extent that it has been deemed wise to suspend school and quarantine the town. While there have been no serious cases as yet still it is spreading quite rapidly, as many as four cases breaking out in a single day. Claude Blaekwell, of Kershaw,1 who killed young I)r. Misenheimer, of Charlotte, in a drunken spree several months ago, was convicted of manslaughter at Charlotte Saturday afternoon and sentenced to spend two years in the penitentiary. Motion for a new trial was made, and pending decision Blaekwell was allowed to be at liberty on $4,000 bond. At the morning services Sunday of the A. R. P. church in Rock Hill, Rev. A. S. Rogers withdrew the resignation as pastor of the church which he offered the congrtgation .the previous Sunday. By an almost ? /\f f U a mumKov unailllliuurs \uic ui nit uitiuuvi ship of the church, a resolution was adopted asking Mr. Rogers to reconsider the matter and he withdrew his resignation. The rainy weather of last Saturday prevented the Baptist Sunday schools of Fort Mill and vicinity from holding the cotton picking for the benefit of the orphans and next Saturday has , been set as the date for the } picking. The Sunday schools I will put in the day on the plantation of Mr. YY. H. YVindle, north of Fort Mill, and it is expected that a goodly sum of money will be raised as a result of the day's work. Little Cotton Sold in Fort Mill. Few bales of cotton have been marketed in Fort Mill during the last week, the rains of several days ago having made it impossible to push the work of picking. Indeed it is said that to date less cotton has been sold on the local market than in any year up to October 1 for many years. This condition is due not alone to the inclement weather of the last ten days, but is also accounted for by the short crop which those who are in position to know say will be produced this year. The one encouraging phase of the situation to the cotton farmers is the fact that the price is somewhat better than it was when the bulk of the crop was marketed last year. Kk; HMESMKSTSnBaHBmMHBi I Biease the Democratic Nominee. The report of the subcomj mittee of the Democratic State Executive Committee which was appointed several weeks ago to! inquire into the alleged frauds in the August primary was made ' to the full committee at a meeting in Columbia Tuesday and Gov. Cole L. Biease was declared the party nominee for Governor. The nominee was declared jifter the executive committee considered the report of the subcommittee stating that the irregularities complained of by Judge Jones, candidate against Governor Biease, were ; not sufficient to alter the result. On the face of the returns 01 the primary Governor Biease secured about 3.500 more votes than Judge Jones. The vote was the largest ever polled in a Democratic primary in the State and the crv of fraud was at once , i raised. i The committee ordered a second i primary to be held on October 15 to nominate a candidate for : Attorney General. The contest will be between J. Fraser Lyon and Thos. H. Peoples. .The committee declared all the candidates who received a majority of ' the votes in the August primary ( the party nominees.

Encouraging reports were re- , ceived fi*om ail of the institutions J. of learning. i The presbytery appointed a committee of seven to arrange for the conference in the interest of the "Million and a half dollar v campaign." to be held in Chester, Jan. 24-25. 1913. Licentiate W. D. R itch ford was dismissed to Enoree Presbytery. ? A commission was appointed to ordain and install licentiate Jno. A. McMurray pastor of Bethesda ' church in York county. The matter that created most . interest in the meeting of pres- !j bytery was the proposed re- " movai of C'hicora College from " Greenville to Laurens. Ex-Gov. . M. F. Ansel. Mr. Geo. W. Tavlor and Dr. T. VV. Sloan, of Greenville, spoke urging the retaining of the college in that city. Rev. C. F. Rankin, Mr. Gray and Mr. Todd, of Laurens, advocated the removal of the college to Laurens. By a vote of 20 to 16 presbytery voted to retain the institution in Greenville. The presbvtery will hold its next regular meeting in the Oakland Avenue church, Rock Hill, in April 1913. Rev. F. A. Drennan, by the appointment of presbytery, remained over and supplied the pulpit of the Fort Mill Presbyterian church last Sabbath morning and evening. Mrs. J. H. Potts Dead. Mrs. Nannie Potts, wife of Mr. J. H. Potts, died Tuesday night about 12 o'clock at her home on White street. She had been extremely ill for several days and her death was therefore not unexpected. The funer ill service, by Rev. S. P. Hair, * was conducted from the home Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock . and the remains were interred in the burial ground at Flint Hill ; church, of which the deceased < had been a member the greater 4 part of her G4 years of life. Surviving Mrs. Potts are her husband, one brother and two \ sisters, and the following chil- < dren: James Potts and Mrs. T. E. < Sharpe, of Greenville; R M. < Potts, of Steel Creek; J. S.

Up to date Fort Mill has anparently done very little in a financial way to assist in the1 election of a Democratic President next month. In Sunday's State, however, there was a list of local contributors to the fund; which is being raised throughout the country for the purpose, the aggregate amount of the stil-i scriptions being $4. In this con-j neetion it is recalled that four; years ago, when W. .J. Uryan was the nominee, less trouble was experienced in collecting several times over the amount which has been given for the Wilson campaign. The refusal of the Democrats of this section to contribute to the fund seems to be due either to apathy in national politics or the loregone conclusion in the minds of most people that Governor Wilson's election is assurer any way. m m ^ The Physician's Opportunity. Editor Fort Mill Tim fs: I wish to write on the chance a doctor has of wording for Christ and winning souls. When metal is melted impressions can he made upon it. When a person is relieved of severe pain his heart is melted in gratitude towards the physician. At such a time woids that pre\ iouslv would have made rio impression will now he listened to with the dec pest interest. What an opportunity to point to the Lamb of Cod! As with the melted metal His name can he written in it. So now on this soul the Savior's name perhaps can be written to ibide forever. Words spoken low of the Savior and by this me who has relieved his suffer- < ng will be like "apples of gold n pictures of silver," and "like intment poured forth." Thus you can see what a great 1 ibligation rests upon the physi-i lan to be prepared for such an j; pportunity. Oh how awful to hink that instead of being able o speak out of the abundance of ' lis heart for Christ, his heart is j, all of the world and worldly rains! No Christ in it, at least'' lot its master. Yours truly, James Spratt. Fort Mill, Sept. 24. ?. i! Early Frost, Says Dutch Prophet. i According to Mr. W. H.''
