and spent the day at the
hor ? of his mother Mrs. Elizabeth
Withers, in this city.
The average yield of corn in
South Carolina last year was a
little over 17 bushels per acre.
These figures must sound very
sroall to Jerry Moore and a few
others.
A recital by the pupils composing

at 8:30 o'clock. The public is

she is improving slowly after a
successful operation performed (

clays ago bought from the:

The board of trustees of the i
Yorkville Graded school has reelected
Superintendent Wither- ;
spoon and the entire present
corps of teachers with the exception
of Miss Bertha Anderson,
who is to take a position elsewhere.?Yorkville
Enquirer.
Postmaster General Burleson
has announced that an executive
order would be issued soon requiring
all fourth class postmasters
now in office or candidates
for nomination will be subjected
to a competitive examination
to determine their fitness
for office.
It seems doubtful at present
whether the Fort Mill camp of
Confederate veterans will be
represented in the reunion to be
held soon at Chattanooga, Tenn.
Our old soldiers are getting well
up in years and a majority of
those who are financially able to
go to Chattanooga are unable
physically to make the trip.
The Times is pleased to learn
that Monroe White, who went
from this citv to a Philadelohia
hospital about ten days ago for
treatment, has improved considerably
during the last few
days. It is thought now that
Mr. W hite will be able to return
I to his home here within a short
time.
In accordance with the notice
given by the York county court
house commission, bids for the
i $7?,000 of court house bonds will
be opened today at noon in the
office of J. S. Brice, chairman of
the commission, at Yorkville.
It is not believed that the bidding
will be spirited, and it is doubted
by some whether the commission
will be able to afTect an advantageous
sale of the bonds.
Just why someone should wish
to inj ure him by killing his
milch cow is a qaesfrisn that is
k
vcrrying Robt. Porter, a colored
armer of the township. Porter
nissed his cow on Sunday and
opposed that she had been
itolen or had strayed from the
>asture into which she had been
urned early in the day. The
legro searched the community
>ut learned nothing of his missng
cow until Tuesday afternoon,
vhen, on seeing a swarm of
uitures near the pasture, went
o the 8pot and found his cow
lead, with her throat cut.
'orter hasn't an enemy, that he
mows of and is greatly per lexed
to know why anyone
hould have committed the deed,
le is a hard-working colored man
nd the loss of the cow falls
ery heavily on him.
Will Straighten Public Road.
Of interest to the public in
:eneral and particularly to the
>eople of Upper Fort Mill is the
tatement that the Steel Creek
oad will in the near future be
traightened and shortened at a
soint just north of the incorporite
limits of the town. This
vas the decision reached Tueslay
after a several hours' conerence
between the Commisiioners
of York County and Col.
..eroy Springs, through whose
and the new road will be built,
t is understood that the county
s to pay Col. Springs $300 for
he right of way through his
and.
Starting at a point just berond
the incorporate limit, the
lew road will bear to the left,
'ollowing a fidge, and will join
he old road at a point about a
lalf mile above, near where the
>ld Philadelphia church formerly
stood. The new road will be
3ractically level, having, it is
said, just about the right slope
irain it well. The old road in
;hat vicinity has for years been
1 source of worry and expense
:o the county. There are several
Tills on it and during the winter
season the road required almost
constant attention. The new
road will entirely do away with
:hese hills and, besides being
several hundred yards shorter,
will require less work and consequently
will be of less expense
to the county.
An OlTBible.
Mr. W. H. Hood has what is
perhaps one of the oldest Bibles
in this country, one that very
probably crossed the Atlantic
acean many years before the
first steamship breasted the
waves. This historic old book
has come through at least four
generations and no one knows
just how many more. Mr.
Hood's mother has passed her
i ightieth year. Iler grandfather
moved his family from Ireland
Lo this country when her father
was only two years old. The
Bible was handed down by this
old Irishman to his children, by
them to their children, and now
his great-grandson, Mr. Hood,
has it. It will doubtless be
handed on down to other generations.
The volume is bound in
heavy leather, and is all intact
with the exception that the first
fifteen chapters of Genesis are
gone. During the Civil war it
was buried with other valuables
to protect it from the raids of
the Yankees. While underground
it got wet and was somewhat
damaged, but it is all very
legible yet.?Waxhaw Enterprise.
Best Medicine for Colds.
When a druggist recommends a remedy
for colds, throat and lung troubles,
you can feel sure that he knows what
he is talking about. C. Lower, Druggist,
of Marion, Ohio, writes of Dr.
lung s New Discovery: "I know Dr.
King's New Discovery is the best
throat and lung meoicine I sell. It
cured my wife of a severe bronchial
cold after all other remedies failed."
It will do the same for you if you are
suffering with a cold or any bronchial
throat or lung cough. Keep a bottle
on hand all the time for everyone in
the family to use. It is a home doctor
