Mcrritt and family are this week arranging to move from this township to the Ruff plantation. nej>r Ogden station, over which Mf\ Merritt is to have supervision another year. Mr. W. M. Morrow has been seriously ill at his home in Pineville for several days, but the latest news from his bedside is that his condition is considerably improved. The following Fort Mill men have been drawn to serve during the second week of the approaching term of the York county court of common pleas: J. K. Windle. A. C. Sutton, C. D. Boyd, R. P. Harris. The Fort Mill friends of Mr. William Jones, a former resident of Fort Mill and brother of Mr. Chas. A. Jones of this city, will regret to learn that he has been dangerously ill of Bright's disease at his home in Rock Hill for several days. Farmers who have not sold their cotton this fall are in a good humor these days, for the price of the fleecy staple has been going up by leaps and bounds for several days. The Baraca and Philipha Suncntinol nlnas of Oak Grove VI GkJ UVI?W. church will give an oyster supper at the home of Mr. J. P. Stroup Friday, Nov. 15, beginning at 2:30 o'clock and continuing into the night. The public is cordially invited to attend. At the meeting last week at Clemson of the State Convention of the Daughters of the Ameri/' can Revolution, Rock Hill was chosen as the place for the next annual meeting. The Thanksgiving .turkey this I year is likely to cost the housewife from 30 to 35 cents a pound, - 1 'J^.tk 1A ! or more niun uuuuic mc pv<uu ( ing prices of a decade ago. The coid wet months of last spring are reported to have caused a short crop in this section. Mr. W. R. Bradford and family are now occupying the home on south Booth street which he recently bought of Mr. J. W. Elms. Extensive improvements are being made to the property by Mr. Bradford. There is an ordinance on the statute books of Fort Mill against the speeding of automobiles on the streets of the town, the limit allowed by the law being 12 miles per hour; but the ordinance seems to be honored more in the breach than in the observance. Unless there is a closer observance of the law, it is perhaps only a matter of time until some one, probably a child, is killed as a result of the fast driving. Frank Wheeler, a Rock Hill negro, shot and probably fatally injured his wife Friday afternoon. The woman refused to " ' ' - ?L- I U,,o to tell tne ponce wny uw Husband shot her. Wheeler is thought to have been drinking at the time, but he was sober enough to realize that he had committed a erime and immediately ran away. The woman died Saturday night and if Wheeler is caught he will have to face the charge of murder. The open season for partridge shooting opens in South Carolina tomorrow, the 15th, and a number of sportsmen of the community are figuring on the "bags" they expect to bring home at the end of the day's hunt. It is said that notwithstanding the excessive rainfall of the early summer months when many of the young birds doubtless were drowned, partridges are about as plentiful ' 1 A~~ ? boon Ill tniS SeCllOIl US inn nave nevn in years when the conditions were thought to be more auspi^ cious for a large "crop." On election night while Hon. Woodrow Wilson was receiving the glad tidings that he was being elected President of the United States, he was surrounded in his home by three young men formerly identified with Fort Mill who had the opportunity to bestow congratulations upon him. They were his brotherin-law, Prof. I. Stockton Axson, and Capt. George H. McMaster. U. S. A., former students of the old Fort Mill Academy, and Ed ward Mack, son of Rev. Dr. J. B Mack, formerly of Fort Mill The latter is a senior in Prince ton College and was present ir the capacity of special reporter Captain McMaster visited For Mill a few months ago for the Surpose of inspecting the For [ill Light Infantry. He is i native of Columbia, S. C. life New Schedules Proposed. A movement is on foot in Rock Hill to have the Southern railway rearrange the passenger train schedules between Charlotte and Columbia and to put on a motor car service between that city and Charlotte. An official of the railway company spent Friday afternoon in Rock Hill discussing the proposed changes and new service with Mayor Roddey and after the conference Mayor Roddey stated that there was hope of having the southbound tram which now reaches Rock Hill about 7:30 in the morning arrive at 11 a. m. and to so change the schedule affecting the northbound afternoon train arriving in Rock Hil! from Columbia at 6;lo p. m. as to have it reach there about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The proposed changes and the motor car service would be beneficial to Fort Mill as well as to Rock U!ll ... O efforts lllll ailU LI IV. IIOUIV ?- w.. - . of the Rock Hill city officials in the matter will be watched with concern here. Dr. J. E. Massey, Sr., Seriously 111. Friends of Dr. J. E. Massey, Sr., will learn with regret that he has been seriously ill at his home in Kock Hill for several days. Saturday morning Dr. Massey suffered an attack of heart failure. At the time he was on Main street in Kock Hill and when he was stricken fell to the pavement. TViends carried him into a nearby drug store and^ shortly afterward he was re-, moved to his home. The latest news as to the condition of Dr. Massey is that he is somewhat better and it is thought that he will be out in a few days. York Teachers Meet. An interesting meeting of the York County Teachers' Association, of which Prof. F. W. Moore of this city is secretary, was held in Yorkville Saturday, at which about one hundred teach| ers were present. The program, as previously printed, was car| ried out, the various talks- being highly enjoyed. The entertainment by the Yorkville teachers was all that could be desired. The Rock Hill teachers extended an invitation to the association to hold toe next session in that city, the next meeting being J ^ |nMn on tne secona aaxuruay m uanu! ary. The invitation was acI cepted. | The Fort Mill graded school ; was represented at the meeting by Prof. Moore and Misses Helen Ardrey, Isabel Grier and Minnie ( Garrison. Crops of the Demonstrators. John R. Blair, agent for the farmers' co-operative demonstration work in York county, reports some unusually fine corn production in this county this year, says the Yorkville Enquirer. Mr. C. P. Blankenship, of Fort Mill township, measured up 105 bushels of corn off an acre. Mr. Wm. Ferguson, of York township, measured up 95 bushels. Mr. S. A. Love of McConnellsville, made about 60 bushels of extra fine corn. Mr. John T. Burris, of No. 2 Sharon, about 75 bushels. Among the heavy cotton crops, Mr. J. J. Jones, oi' No. 1 Bullock's Creek, has weighed up 2,010 pounds of cotton off an acre. Mr. James - * -? rii E. Bunk head, ol l\o. i onaror, has picked 4,600 pounds ol seed cotton from 212 acres. Mr. M. H. Stevenson of Sharon 1. has five acres of cotton that will average about 1,800 pounds to the acre. Mr. Biair estimates that all the co-operative demonstrators will average a bale of cotton and about forty bushels of corn to the acre. Ginners' Report. The fourth cotton ginning report of the season compiled from reports of census bureau correspondents and agents throughout the cotton belt and issued at 10 a. m. Friday by Director E. Dana Durand, announced that ; 8,849,989 bales of the growth of 1912 had been ginned prior to November 1. To that date last year 9,970,905 bales, or 61.1 per cent of the entire crop, had been i ginned. South Carolina's total of bales ginned up to Nov. 1st was 782,406 as against 1.022.614 at the same time last year. Thanksgiving. If President Taft can feel cause ? "?

Here are the reasons he assigns in his annual proclamation issued the day after the election: "For many years it has been customary at the close of the year for the national executive , to call upon his fellow countrymen to otl\r praise and thanks to Hod for the manifold blessings vouched in the past and to unite in earnest suppliance for theii ; continuance. "The year now drawing to ? .? close has been notably favorable to our land.

Way to Core Perk. A day should be selected for killing when the temperature is low enough to insure a thorough cooling by the following morning, the hogs beingdressed and hung over night. On the morning of the day the hugs are killed, lor each 400 pounds of meat make a brine as follows: Twenty gallons oi rain water, 30 pounds ot salt, eight ounces of baking soda, 10 pounds of brown sugar, one gallon of molasses (use good molasses, not the adulieraud kind.) This fluid should be boiled and skimrned in the morning and left to cool in a shady place. When cool, add five ounce of saltpeter. Dissolve the saltpeter in warm water and stir thoroughly. The follow ing morn.ng cut up the hogs as usual, and pack in barrels. Put the Sides of the meat or middlings in the bottom and the shoulders next, and the hams on top of these, all with the skin side down. Weight the meat down well and pour the brine over until tne meat is completely covered. Tnen cover tne top of the barrel w itii some good thick covering that will prevent evaporation. Look at the meat often enough to see that the brine has not evaporated so as to leave any meat exposed. If it should become exposed more brine should be added. The meat can be left in the brine indefinitely, but if it is desired to smoke the meat, it should be taken out in about six weeks.? American Cultivator. (Advertisement.) Fortunes in Faces.

I have been j I in Fort Mill for seven years. And, i I think of it, not even a single complaint ' ha-; been heard or said about my work. 1 I don't make my living like a mosquito bite. I believe I can take a pinetop, a bucket of molasses, a bucket of tar, one gallon of varnish and one bushel of clay, mixed well together, and working by moonlight can do better dyeing than anything that has hit Fort Mill in the last seven years.
