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,

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.

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. The con- ]
test of W. J. Talbert and N. B. .(
Dial against Senator Tillman was 1
withdrawn.

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. Potts ^
and Mrs. Dovie Erwin, of Fort
Mill, and Mrs. Eunice Downs, of 1
Pineville. <

Only 25 cents at Parks Drug Co., Fort i
Mill Drug Co. and Ardrey's Drug Store. ;
Money for Woodrow Wilson.
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.

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.

onsiderable accuracy the state 1
if the weather, severe frost !
vill occur hereabouts in the j
>eriod of October 2-5.
This will be quite early, but
lot altogether unusual, as killing .
rost has occurred in the Pied-,
nont section of South Carolina
is early as September 21. The
rost predicted by the Dutch
leather prophet for the first
reek in October will kill vegetaion
in the Piedmont. October
4-17 will also be another period
f low temperature.
The rainfall during the three
uonths ending with December
rill be above the normal, with

revailing during the fall months.
The winter will not be without i
