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.

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.

Doing Away With a Nuisance.
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. Charlotte Chronicle.

DANGER FROM GRIPPE
j-ries in mat though and weal:,
Worn-out Condition.
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.
