V. D. Pott?, former chief o" police of Fort Mill, wont to Ro-.k Hill StinHnV PVPninir to hucrin work Monday morning as a loom I fixer in the Highland Turk mill, j Mr. Starr Kimbrell. of uptvr Fort Mill, has accepted a position with the Helms-Bass Furniture Company, of Rock Hill. Mrs. Kimbrell will goto Rock Hill us j soon as Mr. Kimbrell can secure suitable quarters. Major Campbell, colored, who was committed to York jail on Monday of last week for selling J whiskey, returned to Fort Mill Saturday night. It is stated that on account of the prisoner's health, Sheriff Brown refused to allow him to renriin in jail to complete the 30 day term to which lie had lvon st>nf.-nri <1 0 The~acceptance by Mr. J. W. Ardrey Sunday morning: of the superintendencv of the Port Mill Presbyterian Sunday school, was highly pleasing to both the teachers and pupils. Mr. Ardrey was at a previous time superintendent of this school and his ability as a teacher ol scripture is well known. Senator Mars, of Abbeville county, has introduced in the r State senate a bill to abolish the j hosiery mill at the penitentiary. I The bill provides that after the i' 1st of July the superintendent i of the penitentiary shall not per-1 mit convicts to be employed in : the hosiery mill. There are .-aid to be prospects for the passage of the bill. On account of the wrecking of i, a freight train eight miles north ; of Columbia early Sunday morn- j ing, northbound passenger train No. 36 did not pass Fort Mill until late in the afternoon. Train No. 31, due at Fort Mill at 5.35 a. m., was detoured byway of Spartanburg to Columbia. Several freight cars were de- | molished in the wreck but none of the crew was injured. Representative J. R. Haile has introduced in the House a bill to provide for a board of assessors for Fort Mill. The purpose of the bill is understood to be to ; take the duties of assessing the property within the corporate j limits of the town out of the i hands of the township board of ' assessors and transfer the work to the municipal board which the j bill proposes. There is said to have been some dissatisfaction with the work of the township board. A well known autoist has given out the information that to prevent rain or fog gathering on the glass windshield of an automobile all that is necessary is to rub the glass on the exposed side ! with a piece of ordinary chewing tobacco. This statement is not vouched for by the editor of The Times, since his "machine" is shielded from wind and rain by a last year's overcoat, but the prescribed remedy is so simple that it is well worth a trial. Looking through some old papers that belonged to his father, the late Mr. T. M. CarotherS, Mr. W. M. Carothers a day or two ago discovered an interesting old memorandum of the pi ice of a number of bales of cotton which his father sold to J. M. Ivey & Co., of Rock Hill, in the fall of 1871. The price paid Mr. Carothers for the cotton avar'jnrnd rnnrc t hnn 17 cpnts !) pound. In a bill of groceries bought from the same firm at the time was noted an item of six pounds of sugar for which Mr. Carothers paid $1. tv r V- -T. q 4 UP-TO-DATE AND NOVEL Advertising Methods Adopted by an Enterprising Firm. That F'ort Mill is fast becoming met- l ropulitan in the methods of advertising I used by o ir merchants to call the buy- j ing public's attention to the many j splendid values which they are offering, also that the wiue-awake firm of Mc- j Elhaney & Company is keeping up with ! and just a little ahead of the times in i an advert.s ng respect, is again demon- I strated by what is perhaps the most ] elaborate system of advertising ever attempted by any business house in this section, namely: the giving away of the beautiful Claxton Parlor Grand Pia.io now on exhibition at their store. This piano retails at $400.u0 and is guaranteed lor ten years. The principal points of superiority of the celebrated Claxton Piano over any other of this class of instrtnents lies in the three strings in unison with overstrung bass, the splendidly pitched scale and true sounding board, which give the Claxton that rich, deep, even tone so much desired. / In a recent interview with Mr. MeGlhaney re, anting this decided innovation in advertising he had this to say: "We have been enjoying the patronage and confidence of this community for some time now and by always trying to keep our stocks complete the saying that 'You can get it at McFilhaney's' has become a household expression. In giving away this p.ano we are actuatt d by a double purpose, to show our appreciation of the patronage of our friends in the past, also to encourag* .lew trade and to bring the many sph n- j did values we are now showing in all ! lines to the attention of every buyer in tiiis territory. The plan we are using in giving away this piano is equitable and lusr to ail, r imply this, every person buying one dollar's worth of goods in our store u ill receive a coupon good for luO votes, 'l he person returning to us up to and including August 1, 1913, the hr,r st number of votes will l.e given the ;..ano absolutely free of all cost. No favors will be shown. Our reputn'ion tor 'square dealing' assures our customers of that fact." This $400 0d Claxt .n Parlor Granu Piano is surely a present worth having and we pndiet a very "merry race" fur votes during the next few months.

A Charlotte man who owns a large plantation in upper South ; Carolina has instructed his fore- | man and employes there to kill i all stray dogs that come on the place. This goes to show that there is more than one way of dealing with the dog and sheep problem. Any man has a right to kill dogs that damage or threaten his property provided he does not go off his own land to do the killing. A few more men with this sort of grit and determination and there would tie fewer uoi thless curs prowling around killingyoung game, making impossible the growing of sheep and being a nuisance generally.

Grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia, these are greatly to be feared at this time , of the year. To prevent grippe from boin*:j followed by either pleurisy or pneumo- j r.ia, it is important to drive the last i traces of it out'of the system quickly, j Our advice is to take Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron preparation without oil, and get your strength, and vitality back quickly. Mrs. A. A. Grablll, of Strasburg, Va. says: "Grippe left me weak, run down and with a severe cough, from which I suffered four years. I tried different remedies, but nothinp seemed to do me any pood until I took Vinol, from which I received preat benefit. 1 My couph Is almost entirely pone, and I am stronp and well npain, and I am glad to recommend Vinol to others who suffer as I did." Try Vinol with the certainty that If It does not benefit you wo will give back your money. W. Ik AKDREY, Druggist, FORT MILL, S. C. : i I Dr. King's New Discovery , KILLS THE COUGH. CUKES THE LUNGS.
