The first rain to fall in this t
immediate vicinity since the 7th 1
day of April came Monday after- I
noon about 4 o'clock, and this 1
was followed during the night r
by light showers. This dry spell j
has worked great injury to the (
grain crop and both cotton and I
corn have been greatly retarded i
through lack of moisture. z

Wanted on Serious Charge.
There was considerable excitement
in Fort Mill Wednesday
morning when the public learned
that a negro had accosted and
threatened a white woman on
one of the streets of the town
ruesday evening and that a little
later the same evening a negro,
presumably the same man. had
attempted to enter a room of a
home in which were a mother
and her baby. The woman
accosted and threatened on the
street is said to have been returning
to her home about nine
o'clock when the negro sprang
from behind a tree in a secluded
place and ordered her to make
no outcry. Tne woman did
make an outcry, however, and a
gentieman who lives in the
neighborhood hearing the scream
hastened to her assistance; but
che negro becoming frightened
ran.
Within a few minutes following
this incident a negro attempted
to enter a residence in
which the woman of the house
and her baby were alone, her
husband not having returned
home from his work.
The police of the town have
since been busy trying to apprehend
the guilty negro, but thus
far have met with no success.
To Discuss New County.
A committee of Fort Mill men,
consisting of Mayor B. E. Pat;erson,
Mr. W. B. Meacham and
Mr. J. R. Haile, have requested
rhe Times to call a mass meetng

ind township to be held in the

"No gain is as certain as that which pro- ^
ceeds from the economical use of what you
have." f
What are you doing with the money you 4
earn?are you saving a part of it each week.
or spending it foolishly! Nothing goes so t
easily and so quickly as the money you have
in your pocket. You buy this or that?not
because you actually need it, or that it gives ^
you any great amount of pleasure, but merely ?
.because you have the money, and it strikes
your particular fancy.
Instead of spending it, put that money in
