Mr. and Mrs. Chas. VV. Eason, of the Waxhaw community, spent Sunday with relatives in Fort Mill. Mrs. Robert Anderson and Mrs. Patty Hague, of Morganton. .N. U>i Were guests me iaai wccn of Mrs. J. B. Elliott in this city. Mr. B. M. Lee and family of the township left several days ago for Finley, Texas, where they will make their home in the future. A leading fainer of the township tells The Times it is his belief that at least 85 per cent, of the cotton crop , of this section has been picked and ginned. Dr. Burton B. Sturdivant, of Marvin, who left a few days ago for New York City to attend school, returned to his home Monday on account of illness. Mr. C. J. Walker, who lives in the village of the Millfort mill, reports killing an 11-monthsold hog Monday which netted 280 pound?. Mr. Walker is proud of his hog and he has every reason to be. Rev. W. A. Hafner announced from his pulpit Sunday evening that special Thanksgiving services will be held at the Presby N * mi i terian churcn next inursua.v morning at 10 o'clock. The public is cordially invited to attend the service. Two of the largest individual turnips seen in Fort Mill this fali were brought to The Times office a few days ago by Mr. W. H. Windle. The combined weight of the turnips was 11 pounds and they were of the white globe variety. If 100 persons who are due The Times for the present year's subscription would call and pay j up, the publisher would have in ; hand $125 with which to settle a debt that is hanging over the paper. Convicted of retailing, Monk McKee, a colored tiger of the town, was on last Wednesday afternoon taken to the county's convict camp, where he will per-1 form forty days' labor. Mr. John N. Merritt, a young farmer of the township, left Fort Mill Thursday morning for Monroe, N. C., where he joined a party of farmers who have decided to try their fortunes in the vicinity of Elza, Ga. Mr. Will Barron, of Chester, spent Thursday in Fort Mill as a | guest of his uncle, Magistrate J. W. McElhaney. Mr. Barron holds a government position in Washington during the sessions of Congress. Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Spratt left Thursday night for a three weeks' trip to Northern cities, expecting before their return to visit Mrs. Spratt's brother, Mr. J. Erskine Ardrey, who is a senior cadet at West Point. The city authorities should put | the road machine to work and get the streets shaped up before the bad weather sets in. Further delay in this matter probably means that the streets this winter, as several times in the past, j will become almost impassible. The real estate firm of Bailes & Link Friday closed a deal in which Mr. W. L. Hall became the owner of the R L. 'Bennett plantation, three miles east of Fort Mill. The place contains about 35 acres and the consideration was said to have been $000. N. H. McGuire, overseer of weaving for the Million mill, on Saturday resigned the position and has been succeeded by T. G. Moser, the latter taking charge of the weave room Monday morning. Mr. McGuire has taken a similar position with the Eureka mill at Chester. The local Glee club met Thursday night at the home of Mr. C. S. Link, on White street, and made arrangements for a concert to be given at the auditorium in the near future. Several songs to be given in the concert were practiced at the meeting Thursday night. Information comes from Washington that the new nickle, which is to supplant the fivecent coin now in use, will be put in circulation within a short time. An Indian head will adorn the face of the new nickle, while on the reverse side will appear the figure of a buffalo. The design is intended to honor the disappearing Indian and buffalo, linked together in American history. Rev. W. A. Hafner returned to Fort Mill Saturday from Richl)urg, in Chester county, where he had been assisting Rev. F. G. Hartman in a protracted meeting. Mr. E. H. Phillips and family have moved from Griffith, N. C., to Fort Mill and are occupying the home place of Mrs. Jennie Spratt, one mile west of town. Mr. Phillips will superintend the Spratt farm next year. Th^annual work of assembling and packeting seeds for free Congressional distribution has begun in the department of agriculture at Washington. More than six hundred tons of seed will be put into approximately 60,000.000 packets preparatory to mailing after January 1. It will be well for our merchants to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the parcels post law before that law goes into operation on January the first. The parcels post is going to help the people in the country and it will help the merchants as well if they offer sufficient inducements to their patrons. In all of York county in the late election but one vote was cast for Debs, the Socialist candidate for the presidency, and that vote went into the Fort Mill box. By whom this vote was cast is not known, but if the Debs nartv should at any future time win out and this lone Fort Mjll supporter of Debs will let his identity be known he may rest assured of receiving a juicy Socialist plum. Tne November term of the court of general sessions for j York county will convene on next Monday, the 25th. Probably the most important case to be called during the criminal term j is that of the State against J. A. ' Eubanks, a former Rock Hill policeman, who is charged with 1 the murder several months ago of a young man named Putnam. The killing took place in Rock Hill. The eyes of South Carolina Methodists in particular and other denominations in general j ' J i- ] Will oe luriau luwaru /lnuusun the latter part of the present month, because the Conference, the governing body of the Methodist church in this State, will begin there its annual session on the night of the 27th. While attending the Conference, Rev. i T. J. White of the Fort Mill church will be entertained at the home of Mr. C. C. Gribble. Mr. Withers Elected Commissioner. Along with the thousands of Democrats throughout the coun- i try who rejoice over the result of the late election there is a former Fort Mill man who has more than ordinary reasons to be proud that the Democracy has once again triumphed. This man is i Mr. J. A. Withers, of Worthville, N. C., a son of Mrs. Elizabeth Withers of Fort Mill. Mr. Withers has been living in Randolph county, N. C., for several years j and at the opening of the political campaign last summer announced himself a candidate for county commissioner, this being his first entry into the political field. That Mr. Withers is popular in his county is attested by j the returns published in the Asheboro Courier showing that he headed the ticket over the five other members of board, as Virgil DC r?wivin(r more votes than did the treasurer, coroner or surveyor of the county. Mr. Withers of course ran as a Democrat (all Fort Mill men are Democrats) and he has still greater reason to feel proud over his election when it is recalled that Randleman township, in which he resides, usually goes Republican. Mr. Withers' friends in this, his home, community congratulate him upon his successful entry into politics, and wish for him further success politically. Mrs. Lula Burrage Dead. Mrs. Lula Burrage, wife of Mr. J. Polk Burrage, died Friday night at her home in the village of the Fort Mill Mfg. Co., after a painful illness of several months. The burial took place in the city cemetery Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock, after funeral services at the home by Rev. T. J. White of the Fori ? ' -i i ^ _1 X. Mill Metnoaisi enure n. Mrs. Burrage was 38 years of age and was the mother of four children, all of whom, with her husband, survive. She was well known in this city and vicinity, having resided here some 25 years, and was beloved by all who knew her. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the husband and children in their sad loss. Oyster Supper. The ladies of Pleasant Hill church (Pleasant Valley) will sere an oyster supper Friday evening at the Pleasant Valley academy for charitable purposes. There will be plenty of good things to eat at reasonable prices and the public is cordially invited to be present. Want Pineville Postmastership. An illustration of the activity of Democrats throughout the country in trying to secure Federal positions since the election of Woodrow Wilson two weeks ago is to be seen in Pineville, N. C., where there are said to be three applicants busy securing indorsements of the patrons of the local postoffice for the appointment of postmaster. One of the applicants for the ! position, it is understood, is Mr. Lee Downs, former rural letter carrier. For several years the postmaster at Pineville has been a Republican. The impression ' in the community is that he will ! not be reappointed under the in- i coming Democratic administra- ; tion. Inprovements to Chicora College. An echo of the contest between the delegations representing Greenville and Laurens before the fall meeting of Bethel , Presbytery held in Fort mill a few weeks ago over the removal of Chicora College from Greenville to Laurens was heard in , the First Presbyterian church of Greenville Friday evening when at a meeting of representative members of the three Presbyterian churches of that city a resolution looking to the expansion ' and permanent improvement of ! the college was enthusiastically adopted. There was evident at the meeting a sense of satisfac- 1 tion that the Presbyteries of the ] Synod have decided to leave the I Cl'to in college at iis jjicacjii, ouv. Greenville and a committee was ! appointed to devise ways and means for prosecuting the prom- , ised improvements upon which the city of Greenville was able ' to retain the institution. An ef- . fort will be made at once to raise , $30,000 for the erection of a new i dormitory and for other purposes, j What is learned in the cradle j lasts to the grave.

SPECIAL INTEREST attaches to the following letter from Richmond, Va., in which Polk Miller gives characteristic expression to his faith in the Rexall proposition: Richmond, Va., Sept. 12, 1912. Mr. T. V. Woo ten: My dear sir,?If my strength were as great as my enthusiasm for Rexall products, I would certainly be with the brethren at St. Louis on the 17th, but as I cannot go on so long a trip on account of my age, 1 shall be with you in the spirit and not in the flesh. Rexall remedies come nearer doing what they are recommended to do than anything I have ever sold in my fiftytwo years of active life as a druggist. * * * I regret that, in a short time, I've got to let it go, and leave it to those who come after me to "watch it grow"! As I canr.ot be with you, I am enclosing a regro story for you to read to the ' 'boys.' With my l>est wishes for you ail, I am Sincerely yours, POLK MILLER. The story referred to by Mr. Miller, who claims that "we can learn a lot from the sayings of the old-time Southern negro," read as follows: "One of my medical friends was giving a patient galvanic treatment when an rtlfl notrrn untj'ref) the room. To amuse the patient, the doctor asked the darky to take hold of the cylinders, making- him believe that he could tie of assistance by doing so. The darky complying, the doctor began to turn on the current, whereat the victim hollered 'Stop, doctor, stop, doctor stop.' The physician quietly said, 'If you can't ho.d 'em, put 'ern on the table,' at the same time turning on a still stronger current. At this the old felow yelled so loud that the doctor desisted. Dropping the cylinders the Jarny cried out, 'What in de name of , jO' J was dat ting you had me tied to?' Wnen told that it was a galvanic bat:ery, he rubbed his hands together and ;aid, 'Ef Gord will fergive me for dis | :ime, I ain' gwine nev.ih take hold o' iothin' ergin dat I can't turn loose." "And that," adds Mr. Miller, "is food philosophy. But for my part I lin' gwine nevah turn Rexall loose unit I've got to." ArrirPv'Q Flrinr Stnrp niuiuj u uiug wiwiwi Frost Proof Cabbage Plants.
