I

cents.
Miss Leila Beik returned Friday

Mrs. Lewis Adkins, of Parksvi
llo Ton n
Mrs. Knox Roach and Miss
Florence Thornwell, of Rock
Hill, were guests the last week
of their sister, Mrs. J. B. Klliult
in this city.
This season's cotton crop will
total 13,975,000 bales, according
to estimates complied by the New
Orleans Times-Democrat from a
canvass in every cotton growing
State.
Christmas falls this year on
Wednesday, which is now only
two weeks off. The stores are
loaded up with good goods and
^ Old Santa Glaus will not find it
hard to supply the little ones.
Construction work was begun
the last week on the big warehouse
being erected by the Fort
Mill Mfg. company in the rear
of its mill No. 1. The work is
. under the supervision of Contractor
Z. V. Bradford, of Rock
Hill.
Mr. C. S. Link, of the firm of
Bailes & Link, left Monday morning
for Charleston, where he is
amending the annual meeting of
the State grand lodge of Masons.
Mr. Link is representing the
Fort Mill lodge in the State
meeting.
The school teachers of Lancaster
county met in the graded
school auditorium at Lancaster
Saturday morning and organized
^ the Lancaster County Teachers'
association. Meetings of the
' association are to be held monthI
ly.
The Times would call special
attention to the big advertisement
of McFlhanev & Co. in
this issue. This firm is offering
some exceptional bargains to the
buying public and to visit the
store may mean a saving of
T several dollars to you.
The time for paying State and
county taxes expires with March
15th next, but those who wish
to escape the penalty will have
to come across before the 1st of
January. On that date a penal,
ty of 1 per cent will be added,
and from the 1st of February to
the 1st of March, it will be 2 per
cent. Between March 1st and
15th, 7 per cent additional will
be collected.
There are three persons in jail
charged with murder awaiting
trial, says Monday's Charlotte
Observer. \V. H. Bailey was
tried in the August term, but an
agreement could not be reached
by the jury and the case was
continued. Ed Davis, charged
with killing Bob Sutton recently,
and Pat Huntley, charged with
killing his wife, are the two
negroes awaiting trial.
Rev. T. J. White and children
left Fort Mill Thursday, the
former going '.o his new charge
at Harleyville, and the latter to
Camden. It is slated that there
is a probability of Mr. White
being transferred from Harleyville
to Johnson, in Edgefield
*
county, and his children will remain
with relatives at Camden I ^
until he is permanently located. ^
John M. Harris, of Pleasant + +
Valley, h. s gone W. II. Windle, 111
>f Gold Hill, one better in the -
way of turnip growing. Mr. TT
vVmdle. it will he remembered, ?
sent to The Times office a short
time ago a turnip that weighed ? +
six and one-half pounds, but Mr. j
Harris now comes forward with
a purple top turnip which weighs T .
exactly seven pounds and ten ft
ounces, and says that if this is
beaten he will try to dig up a *<j,
still larger one. ^ i'f
Mrs. Harriet Kimbrell, who,
with her children, resides on * +
White street, had the niisfor- ^
tune Thursday to fall and break
her right, arm just above the .
wrist. Mrs. Kimbrell was in the ff
back yard at her home when the f
accident occurred. Snestumbled >
and in attempting to break the j
fall threw her entire weight on
her right arm with the result as . .
stated. Mrs. Kimbrell is sixty- f f
odd years of age and her injury f
is much more serious than had it *
fallen to one of fewer years.

The News of Gold Hill. ^
Fort Mill Times Correspondence. ^
As Gold Hill has not been repre
en ted in The Times in quite at.
while, we concluded to let you
know that we are still kicking-. *4
but not high. We are generally
well abound here, I think. ^
We learn that Blackberry Ned, . I
who has been living over in
Steele Creek, will move to the
farm of Will Coltharp the present
week.* .
Miss Inez Smith has taken a ^
school at the Sutton school house,
Miss Myrtle Smith is teaching at .
Flint Hill, and Miss Mabel Smith ??
is teaching at Eureka, on the ft
Thorn's Ferry road. ?4
The farmers have done a lot *4
f t-.lAii'infr thic full hrpHkinc II
wi nn? ? c
stubble, sowing oats, etc.
Vester Oltharp ju"t plows and m
plows and then plows some. He ....
is just bad to plow when he can fl
ride all the time. Sam Boyd is f4
going to visit relatives in Eastern <
North Carolina next week, and
Sam had a tat'possum for diniter
on Thanksgiving Day, too
And he has some as good persimmon
beer as you ever stuck >4
your bill in, so, bully for Sam! <$
Mr. Jones, who lives on the ^
Merritt place, will move to North ;
Carolina soon. And we hear .
thai Uncle Billy \\ indie is hauling
logs from over on Steel creek
10 his mill. It seems that he *4
never gets out of a job. No. we ;
are wrong there, it is his boys *<
who never get idle, for we learn
that it is strictly against Uncle
Bill's religion to work much.
No, he just "stands from under"
when he sees it coming his way. M
Sam C. Faris has closed up his I
year's work, sowed his oats and ?
nas gone mto winter quarters.
Arthur Faris has been working ^
in Charlotte for some time and ^?
will move his family there soon, ]>
VV. P. Epps tells us he has made
a good crop this year and has
it all gathered, and is ready to +
take Christmas or any other good
thing that comes his way. And
now, we learn that our Gold Hill ?
clown, Green Bud Smith or Bud
Green Smith and the Hon. S. H.
Epps have finished gathering +
their crops and have turned their ^
whole attention to 'possum hunt
ing and are perusing the forest' f
for miles in search of same. We j
wish them great success, for it is
possible we may be invited to a i
'possum dinner soon. So mote ^
it be! C. P. Blankenship, our
I tidy farmer, has gathered a fine t
icrop and keeps things looking1*;
spic and span around him, and
C. P. is a great lover of oysters, 74
too. His Honor and this old sin- i f4
i ner had a set up to oysters <
twelve years ago and we downed
him so completely that he has ^
! not mentioned oyster to us since.
And next we come to Messrs. .4
Wilson & Epps, ginners. They f4
have added a corn mill to their <
: plant and are prepared to grind <j><
your corn any day in the week
or any hour in the day and it is
possible that they may grind your
first grist toll free, hut we will ?
not warrant that. And now, we *
are at VV. H. Crook's. He runs *
a gin, but has no mill, but has ^
the corn and also a nice squad of
consumers. Our next man is
B. M. Faris. His son, Price, ?
left home on the 3rd inst. with
his father's wagon and team for 4
Russell county, Ala., and the
family will leave us some time
lsoon.
Mr. John Windle,'of New York ?
S ate, is visaing his brother, \Y.
H. Windle. 4
So we will close by wishing
The Times and its readers a
merry Christmas and successful
.New Year. Splinter.
