According to the groundhog sign this section is to have six weeks more of bad weather. Dr. J. J. Stewart and wife, of Maxton, N. C., spent several days of the last week with relatives in this city. Chas. Carter, a young farmer of the township, reports the killing of a "pig" Monday that netted 425 pounds. "Rip Van Winkle" is the attraction to be presented at the auditorium tomorrow (rriday) evening as the fourth attraction of the Radciiffe lyceum course. M. M. Merritt, a well known young man of the town, has accepted a position at Williamston, S. C., with the Southern Power company. Sam Musgrave, a well known > horseman, returned Monday from Bristol, Tenn., where he had gone several days ago to buy a second car load of mules for this market. For a refison unexplained, the Southern railway is selling round trip tickets from Charlotte to Columbia for $3.50, while the rate from Fort Mill, 17 miles nearer Columbia, is $3 65. W. L. Boyd, for a year or more superintendent of plant No. 2 of the Fort Mill Mfg. company of this city, has resigned his position and, it is stated, will in a few days go to Bedford, Mass., where he has been offered a similar position. The Times is pleased to report a decided improvement in the condition of Prof. J. A. Boyd, who was reported last week as being dangerously ill of pneumonia. Mr. Boyd's physicians now have hope of his early recovery. On account of the rains of the last week very little work has been done on the streets of Fort Mill. It is impossible to use the big tractor and scraper in wet weather and no further work will be attempted until the streets dry. Rev. S. P. Hair and Mr. G. D. Smith left Fort Mill Monday evening for Chattanooga, Tenn., where, as representatives of the Fort Mill and Flint Hill Baptist churches, they will attend the First Baptist Laymens' Convention. Mr. Hair and Mr. Smith are expected to return home Friday or Saturday. The national corn shew at Columbia is proving a great attraction to the people of Fort Mill and vicinity. Every day since the show opened numbers of our people have gone down to see the exhibits, and many more doubtless will visit the Capital City before the close of the show on the 8th. All speak in the * highest praise of the many exhibits and of the great benefit to the farmer to be gained by a single day's stay in the exposition grounds. The remains of S. J. Deaton, who died Monday in Charlotte, were brought to Fort Mill on the early morning train Tuesday and interred in the city cemetery. Mr. Deaton, who is survived by a wife and several children, resided in Fort Mill up to aboul ! ten years ago and is well remembered in this community. | He was a member of the Woodmen of the World and a deiegai tiou from the local organization i met the body at the station and aLtonrlpfl .hu hnrial Ike Brown and Tom Welsh, two negroes, were arrested at i the plant of the Charlotte Brick company Monday afternoon by ; Constable J. C. McElhaney and i Police Officer Coltharp upon a ! warrant charging the negroes j with having taken part in ad! ministering the severe flogging to Viola Rogers one night several weeks ago. Brown and Welsh were given a hearing before Magistrate McElhaney and afterwards taken to York jail to await trial on the charge named. Capt. T. B. Spratt, First Lieut. S. W. Parks and Second Lieut. J. M. White, of the Fort Mill Light Infantry, went to Columbia yesterday to attend the fifth annual meeting of the National Guard association of this State. The most important business to come before the meeting will be with reference to the bill intro; duced in the General Assembly providing an appropriation of $17,500 for the purchase of a permanent site for the use of the National Guard in this State. The Hog Came Out, But--While Sunday was rather dull and gray overhead and little sunshine crept through the haze, certain authorities who know what makes a fair day, state that the ground hog did see his shadow and retired at once to the same hole in the earth in which he had been hibernating. Further proof that the rodent retired immediately on looking around is evidenced by the fact that no one has reported having seen a ground hog on Sunday. Thar means, according to the folk lore, that there will be six more weeks of winter weather. : For the saying goes that if February 2 is clear enough for a ground hog to see his shadow, that there will be more winter.

Miss Lea Dumas writes from Mai lone, N. Y., saying: "I was in a badly ! run-down condition for several weeks, but two bottles of Vinol put me on my feet again and made me strong and well. Vinol has done me more good than a'.l the other medicine I j ever took." If the careworn, har-gard men and women, the pale, sickly children and : fcchle old folks around here would follow Miss Dumas' example, they, too, would soon be able to say that Vinol, our delirious cod liver and iron remedy, had built them up and made them btrong. Tt Is n wonderfully strengthening and Invigorating body-builder, and wo etll it under an ironclad guarantee of satisfaction. You g<*t your money back if Vinol docs not help you. | \lf 4 I ? I v ?
