Parks, whose illness was noted several weeks ago in The Times, is still very sick at the home of his daughter, Mrs. H. J. Patterson, on Forest street. Her many friends will learn with pleasure that Miss Louise! Parks, of this nitv. is steadilv improving, following an operation for appendicitis a few days ago at the Rock Hill hospital. A number of the pillars up-' holding the cotton platform at j the Southern freight station gave ! way a few days ago and a considerable section of the platform fell to the ground. The business of the Jones Mo- i tor company was this week j moved from its former location in Whiteville Park to the new { garage erected by S. L. Meach-f am on Confederate street. Clarence McMurray, who has been with the J. L. Phillips ! Drug company for some time uast. has bouirht an interest in the Rock Hili Supply company and took up work there this morning. ? The Record. Monday. No new cases of scarlet fever j have been reported to the local board of health for more than a week, and of the several children afflicted by the disease during the last few weeks all are J now said to be convalescent. Governor Manning has appoint- j ed as election commissiners for j York county the following: State, W. B. Wilson, Jr., J. Darby I Smith and W. P. Boyd; Federal, ! W. S. Wilkerson, John L. Rainey i and Robt. T. Allison. rPlin lot nof i V* n T /w i ii^ iaitoi nuiu i i win tuu i ca- ; as border concerning: the date of the return to this State of the First South Carolina regiment is that the boys may get home by the 1st of November. The Fort, Mill company is a part of the j First regiment. The store of Mr. 0. W. Potts, in the Pleasant Valley section of Lancaster county a few miles from Fort Mill, was broken into and robbed of about $30 worth of goods one night last week. As yet no one has been arrested in connection with the burglary. Fort Mill is to have another restaurant within the next few days, the proprietors of the new eating house tn be Messrs. R. M. Hood and J. H. Patterson. The new business is to be opened in thp Whitp-SnrincR hnilrlinfr nn Main street adjoining the Majestic Theatre. The promoters hope to have the business open by the end of the present week. Fort Mill friends and acquaintances of Price M. Faris, formerly of Gold Hill community, will be interested to know that he has lately enlisted in the United States army, being attached to Troop I, First Cavalry regiment, and stationed at Montgomery, Ala. For several months prior to joining the army Mr. Faris had resided in Birmingham. Householders will not fina much comfort in the announcement that there has recently been a considerable increase in j the price of coal. On the local market, coal which has heretofore sold for $6 per ton cannot now be bought for less than $6.50 per ton and the dealers say that , the prospect is that the price will go even higher before winter sets in. i A farmer of the eastern part! of the township tells The Times 1 that the roadsides from a point! just outside of town on to the North Carolina line are literally strewn with empty whiskey cartons. These paper boxes have I been thrown aside by residents of i North Carolina who have their j gallon-a-month shipped to Fort ' Mill and open the goods on their 1 return home. It is busy times at the South. .I ~ m ern railways on age across <jatawba river at Carhartt, where a 1 large force is engaged in restoring the huge steel structure | that was wrecked in the July floods. Of the eight 120-foot steel spans that were washed down all but two have been put back in place. When the bridge is fully restored the railway people will, it is said, build up thej piers and raise the structure j about ten feet above its present 1 elevation. * * >?>' ' i Miss Isabel Massey has returned to her home in the township, after a visit to relatives in Dayton, Tenn. The Rev. and Mrs. D. H. Attaway and children, of Cayce, S. C., were visitors to Fort Mill the last week. Mr. Attaway was pastor of the Fort Mill Methodist church some years ago. Miss Maye Smythe has resigned the position of bookkeeper for Jones' grocery store and taken a similar position with the Cash Market, of which her father, Ira G. Smythe, is the proproprietor. Miss Jessie Baker has succeeded Miss Smythe at the Jones grocery. On the third Sunday in September the local Baptist church added one hundred dollars to the pastor's salary. The pastor is 1 1 * * grannea at sucn an expression of appreciation after several years' service. Then, too. he says, the increase will greatly aid in the solution of the problem of the high cost of living. As a result of advertisements run by the York Fair association in recent issues of the county papers, a young Rock Hill gentleman has notified Secretary Timmons that he will accept the association's offer of the free license and $10 in gold to be married at the York County fair grounds the evening of the 18th instant. The name of the groomto-be was not divulged. Gov. Manning has directed the i attention of commissioners of registration in the various coun- | ties of the State to the statutory provision which orders that all books of registration shall be kept open until within 30 days of the general election. Under this provision registration will continue through Saturday, October 7. The general election occurs on Tuesday, November 7. A social affair of unusual pleasure and interest occurred Thursday evening when the ladies of the Fort Mill Presbyterian church served a banquet in honor of the Mens' Bible class of the same church, the affair being held in the Meacham building on Main street, which been made most beautiful by a choice disposition of potted plants and flowers and evergreens. Covers were laid for 50 guests and an excellent j nine-course dinner was served. | After dinner the Rev. D. H. Ralston, of Charlotte, was introduced and entertained the assemblage with a brilliant and inspiring addres. Among the other speakers were the Rev. R. K. Timmons of the local Presbyterian church and N. L. Carothers, leader of the Christian Endeavor league of the same church. Entertained Pig Club Boys. John J. Bailes, proprietor of Marjerbel stock farm, was host on last Wednesday to a large number of farmers and others interested in raising pure bred stock, the affair being primarily in honor of the pig club boys of York, Lancaster and Mecklenburg counties, and the number of the latter in attendance demonstrated the interest which is being taken in the subject of growing more and better and larger hogs. The affair was un- j der the management of Robert! M. Bryant of Mecklenburg. At the farm were shown a j number of pure bred Duroc-Jersey hogs of all sizes, the largest on exhibition weighing 820 nniinHu A mimKoi* r\f Rtnnlr A .> am. iiwuiMvi wi i > j C4V rv 11 gus cows of various ages were also shown. In a grove near the stock pens seats and tables had been arranged and here the crowd gat hered for dinner and to hear the addresses on the subject of stock raising, among the speakers be- j ing R. W. Graber, Mecklenburg county demonstrator, B. P. Folk, j of the North Carolina A. & M. ! college, and Ex-Mayor Bland, of Charlotte. Curios From Mexico. Mrs. Fannie Price received a box of curious things from her son, Sergt. Wolling Price, who is on the border, says the Union Times. The box contained a beaded Mexican purse and numbers of beautiful photographs of 1 "i ?? 1 * i>iic i-uuiili y diiu lilt! DOyS , DUt the most interesting things were the little Mexican jumping beans. They were put on the table and looked very demure when all in a moment they jumped straight up and turned over. "What made them do that?" was the question all asked. Sergt. Price i warned his mother not to plant them for they were too lively to stay planted. FOR SALE?200 bushels Seed Oats. They are fine. 100 bushels of Seed Wheat, h'ooe (letter. J. J'. Strouj>. THE FORT ] Supervisors Couldn't Agree. While everything points to the early erection of a bridge across Cafawba river between Fort Mil 1 and Rock Hill, it is not so in the case of the bridge across Broad river between York and Cherokee counties, which was washed away in the July floods. A joint meeting of Supervisors Boyd of York county and Jenkins of Cherokee county, with their respective commissioners, was held at the bridge site a few days ago and a proposition was made by the York supervisor that he would be willing to build the bridge on the same basis as before, each county paying half the costs. Supervisor Jenkins declined the proposition, but agreed to meet Supervisor Boyd in the middle of the river. The York supervisor would not agree to this because there is a long approach to the bridge on the York side and a very short approach onx the Cherokee side; but he was willing to go down the river about a quarter of a mile to a point where the approaches are about of equal length and go halves. This the Cherokee county supervisor refused to agree to, and there the negotiations stand for the present.
