NATTERS OF LOCAL INTEREST. Price of Cotton. The best price paid for cotton on the local market yesterday was 13$ cents. Seed sold for 45 cents. Gins Running Slack. The bulk of the cotton in this section seems to have been gathered and fanned. There has been such a dropping off in the cotton brought in that the local gin is now running but one day in each week. This is quite unusual for the season, we are told, as heretofore the gins have at this time been fairly busy. The rapid harvest of cotton probably is due to the early opening and the good price at which the staple has been sold. Little Cotton in Field*. Ti e season so far has been an ideal one for the harvest and the farmers of . this section have made good use of it. Our farmers have not only been blessed with good crops and fine weather for the harvest, but the small grain crop . .gives promise of beir.": as good as any grown hereabouts in a number of years. A leading farmer of the township says that more small grain has been so.vn in this section this fall than lie has ever known, due probably to. the fact that the Western corn crop was short this year and the farmers are anticipating high-priced corn next spring anq summer. Pineviile Boy Loses Finger. Report reached Fort Mill Saturday of an accident at Pineville in which the young son of J. K. Cook, a business man of the town, suffered the loss of his left thumb. The young man had arranged to take a hunt and luid his loaded gun standing bebeside him with the stock resting on his foot and his left hand over the top of the barrels. His dog was in high glee over the prospect of the hunt and reared upon his master. The dog's foot struck one of the triggers of the gun causing it to discharge and the young man's left thumb was torn from his hand. The load of shot barely missed the young man's head. Election of Trustees. Along with the municipal election to be held in Fort Mill on the second Tuesday in January, i I to. I 1.1 _ 1 !_ | trie iotii, tnere aiso is to uc an election for three members of the board of trustees for the local graded school. The election for trustees will be conducted by the managers of the municipal election. but the trustees' votes will be deposited in a separate box, and any voter of the 28ih school district will be entitled to vote for the trustees. Up to the present time no one has formally announced himself a candidate for trustee, though the names of several citizens have been prominently mentioned for the places. To The Voters of Fort Mill. In response to the solicitation of n number of friends, and also for the reason that I feel that I can til 1 the office acceptably to n majority of the Eeople of the town, I have decided t< ecome a candidate for mayor of Fori Mill in the election to be held on January 13, 1914. 1 wish to impress upon the voters of the town, however, that I am not running for the oflice as a matter of personal opposition to any other candidate. If I did not feel that I could better aid in the upbuilding of the place as mayor than I can as a private citizen I would not be in the race. To those who have lived in Fort Mill for a number of years I think 1 can point to the two terms I served as intendant of the town several years age with the assurance that if my administration were not the most progressive the town has had for a long time they certainly wore not the leas! progressive. I did what I could tc further the interests of the town in every legitimate way, and if there wer? law violations they occurred neithei with my consent nor connivance. Then as now, 1 believed in and stood for tht enforcement of every law upon out statute hooks, without knowing an) one in their enforcement. I have alsc represented my wan! in the towr council a number of years and it haf been my policy in that connection alsc to do what I could to make Fort Mill f better town to live in. I have stooc for, and now stand for. whatevei promises material aid to the com munity, as I think my record as ai official and citizen of the community for the last 14 years will prove. In the coming election, as in th< other town elections held in Fort Mill there are no serious issues to divide ou people, but it seems to me that i should be the purpose of the voters t< secure a man for mayor who will at tend to the business of the town on an; and all occasions. This I promise to d! if I am elected. I seldom find it neces sary to be away from my place o business on Main street and if I an honored with election I shall conaide it my duty as it will be my pleasure t Kive car at a!! tlir.Cj mr* of rrr cern to the office. I shall appreciat the votes of my fellow-citizens. W. L. HALL. (Advertisement.)
