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

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

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

figure of a buffalo. The design
is intended to honor the disappearing
Indian and buffalo, linked
together in American history.

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

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 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

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."
