The Times is much pleased at the number of new subscribers who have been placed on the books duringthe last few weeks. I The circulation of the paper is larger at present than at any time since its establishment 22 years ago. ? Announcement is made that . James G. Bosweil, first lieutenant * of the Twenty-thild infantry, Uuited States army, lias been, detailed as inspector-instructor of the National Guard of South Carolina to take the place of Capt. Geo. H. McMaster. The order was issued by Leonard Wood, major general, chief of I staff, on November 21. 0^" Rev. T. J. White, of the local * * Methodist church, left Tuesday piorriing for Anderson, wnere ne i is attending th? annual session of the State Methodist conference. As Mr. White has been the pastor of the local church for three years it is not thought likely that he will be returned to Fort Mill for another year. j The barn, stables, granary and one or two other buildings, together with four mules, four or five hundred bushels of corn, a year't supply of forage, farming ^ machinery and tools belongingto V Dr. A. Y. Cartwright, and located I just outside the incorporate limits w of Yorkville. were destroyed by T fire Thursday night. The total loss is estimated at about $3,500, less $1,600 insurance. The Times has received the November issue of the Furman Echo, a monthly journal published by the Adelphian and Phi osophian societies of Furman University, of which Mr. Robt. G. Lee, of Fort Mill, is edit r inchief. Among other items in The Echo, is an interesting story by Mr. Lee entitled "The Man and the Bottle." The Echo is well gotten up and is a great credit to the students of Furman. Friends of the family in this community will be interested to learn of the engagement of Miss Marguerite Clarkscn Springs, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brevard Springs, of Charlotte, and Mr. Richard A. Myers, the marriage to take place early in January. Announcement of the marriage was made at a luncheon * Friday afternoon at the home of Mr. Robt. C. Moore in Charlotte. The bride-to-be is well known in Fort Mill, her parents having formerly resided in this city, and she having spent her girlhood days here. jt Methodist Parsonage Burned. Sunday morning at 3 o'clock the parsonage of the Fort Mill Methodist church, located at the corner of Booth and Church streets, was completely destroyed by fire of unknown origin. The house was occupied by Rev. j T. J. White and children, and a j visitor at the home was the aged 1 mother of Mr. Whita^ Charles, the 14-vear-old son of Mr. White, was first to discover the fire. 1 The young man was sleeping in a room adjoining the cook room, where the fire broke out, and was awakened by the roof falling in. He at once aroused the family and all hurried from the building which was already filled with smoke. There was no time for j removing the household effects, i and nothing except two trunks that were in the front hall were sAved. In thirty minutes after the fire was discovered the house was in asjies. The burning of the parsonage and furnishings, estimated at $1,500. was a complete loss, there being no insurance either on the house or its contents. fVm l/^oe <-\f tVio narsnnntrp falls A IIC IVOn VI HIV v . v>> - W particularly heavy on the Methodists at th's time, the congregation having recently remodeled their church and this work, it is stated, has completely exhausted the church funds. It is to be hoped, however, that arrangements can be made at an early j date for rebuilding the parsonage and that the Methodists may soon have a nicer home for their pastors than was furnished in the burned house.

A prominent citizen of Evansville, Ind., writes: "I was ill for five months with pulmonary trouble, and had the best of doctors; I had hemorrhages and was in a very bad way. Through the advice of a friend I tried Vinol, and I feel that it saved my life. It is all you recommend it to be. I believe it is the greatest medicine on earth. I have advised others to try Vinol, and they have had the same results." (Narae furnished on request.) Vinol soothes and heals the inflamed surfaces and allays the cough. Vinol 1 creates an appetite, strengthens the digestive organs and gives the patient strength to throw off incipient pulmonary diseases. Try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be A 19 IA dooo not h pi n Vflll I 'JIU I1JCU 11 it uv&g iiv? Mv.x- j W. B. ARJJREV, Diuggist, FORT MILL, S. C.

S Over Ardre] * SPECIAL INTEREST attaches to the following letter from Richmond, Va., in which Polk Miller gives characteristic expression to his faith in the Rexail proposition: Richmond, Va., Sept. 12, 1912. Mr. T. V. Wooten: My dear sir,? If my strength were as great as my enthusiasm for Rexali products, I would certainly be with the brethren at St. Louis on the 17th, but ! as I cannot go o.i so long a trip on ac- . count of my age, I shall be with you in the spirit and not in the flesh. Rexali remedies come nearer doing what they are recommended to do than j i anything I have ever sold in my fiftyj two years of active life as a druggist. : 1***1 regret that, in a short time, j I've got to let it go, and leave it to ] those who come -after me to "watch it {grow"! As 1 csnnot be with you, I am ! enclosing a negro story for you to read to the "boys." With my best wishes for you all. 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: f "One of rny m- dical friends was giving a patient galvanic treatment when : an olu negro entered the room. To amuse the patient, the doctor asked i the darky to take livid of the cylinders, 1 making him believi chat he could be of | ass.stance by doing so. The darky I complying, the doctor began to turn on i the current, whereat the victim hoi : lerea 'Stx,p, doctor, stop, uutiui sw|'. I The physician quietly said, 'If you j can't hold 'em, put 'em on the table,' : at the same time turning on a still i stronger current. At thi3 the old fei| low yelled so loud that the doctor desisted. Dropping the cylinders the j darsy cried out, 'What in de name of i Gord was dat ting you b- 1 me tied to?' When told that it was a galvanic bati tery, he rubbed his hands together and : said, 'Ef Gord will fergive me for dis time, I ain' gwine nevah take hold o' nothin' ergin dat I can't turn loose." "And that," adds Mr. Miller, "is good philosophy. But for my part 1 ain' gwine nevah turn Rexall loose un-til I've got to." Ardrey's Drug Store. Frost Pi oof Cabbage Plants.
