Probably the highest priced
bale of cotton ever sold on the
IAAOI mn*lr/\*- 4 1 ' 1 1
iuvoi intii i\t_"L was mat UOUgni
Tuesday by J. B. Mills company
from J. T. Garrison of Flint
Hill. The bale of cotton weighed
651 pounds and sold at 25 cents
per pound. There were 1,198

and seed being $212.91.
The Times has received the
i initial number of the Clover
' Messenger, edited by H. J.
| Gasque. With the establishment
} of The Messenger, which is
quite a credit to Clover, the j
county of York has seven newspapers,
more we believe than
any county in the State. However,
as York is about the best
county in South Carolina, we see
no reason why she cannot sup
puri seven newspapers, and we
wish success for the Clover
paper.
As seen by their advertisements
elsewhere the Fall
Millinery Openings of the E. \V.
Kimbrell company and Patterson's
Dry Goods store are to be
held tomorrow and Saturday.
These firms have this year dispensed
with the costly expense
of sending out personal invitations
to the ladies, feeling that
this is unnecessary on account
of the wide circulation of their
invitations in this territory
through the columns of The
Times.
Dolph Barnhill. a negro of the
Pleasant Valley section, was on

passed through the % pasture

licious mischief Barnhill fired
. several shots toward a herd
of cows, one of the bullets
striking a fine cow in the head
and killing her. It at first
seemed that the matter of
locating the perpetrator of the
deed was to be a difficult task,
but when Police Officer Broom,
of this city, was put on the case
it was but a few hours before
he had the guilty party before
Magistrate McGinn, of Indian
Land township, before whom
the case was settled.

Very little cotton has been
marketed in Yorkville as yet
and little is expected before the
latter part of next week. Up to
yesterday morning the Yorkville
Cotton Oil Company had ginned
only five bales.

With one or two exceptions,
all those drug addicts of "Yorkville
and vicinity who went to
Columbia several weeks ago to
take the "cure" have returned
home and from all appearances
they have been cured. They
say they no longer have any desire
for narcotics; they have
gained in weight and feel much
better in every way since they
cut away from the fearful habit.
If there be anv men in York
county of draft age who have
I been denied discharge by their
local board or by the district
board at Greenwood because of
dependents, they still have a
j means of appeal where they can
ishow there has been error or
'misapplication of the law in their
cases. On such a showing t\ e
governor to whom appeals may
be taken, is authorized to request
lo?al boards to re-open cases.
There is no appeal to the president,
however, except where
exemption has been sought on
the ground of industrial employment
and denied by the
district board.

No Fiir This Year.
At a meeting of the board of
directors of the York County
Fair Association, held recently,
after careful and.deliberate consideration
of the question, it was
unanimously decided that it
would not be for the best interest
of all concerned to hold the 1917
fair. Owing to the congestion i
ll? ci .1 , I
cm me ouuinern nauway in;
handling troop movements and j
carrying war supplies, the Southern
has announced that it will
not be able to operate excursions,
give reduced rates, or haul
amusement companies, or make
prompt deliveries of exhibits.
Without this service, the directors
feel that it would be impossible
to hold a successful Fair.
It was with deep regret that
this decision was reached, as
the directors feel that on account
of the increased food production
and interest in live
stock, the prospects were exceeding
bright for the biggest
and best Fair in the history of
the organization.
Only those who have assisted
in the management of previous
Fairs realize the amount of detail
work in connection with a
large county Fair, and just at
this time the securing of efficient
help is a problem all over the
the conntrv
Baptists at Flint Hill.
The York County Baptist association
closed its annual session
Thursday evening, the meetings'
having been held at Flint Hill
church near Fort Mill, and were
presided over by A. E. Willis, of J
Rock Hill. There was a large '
attendance of delegates from the
churches throughout che county <
and it is considered one of the 1
best and most profitable meetings
ever held, the reports from the
various departments making an
excellent showing.
Among the prominent men of
the State who addressed the
assemblage were Rev. Louis J.
Bristow of Sumter, Rev. C. A.!.
Jones of Columbia, secretary and
treasurer of the educational <
board, Rev. T. J. Watts of
Columbia, secretary of the Sun- t
day school board, Dr. W. T. L
Derieux of Columbia, correspond- ! '
ing secretary and treasurer of
l '
the State mission board,N Dr.
C. C. Brown, secretary of the
ministers' relief board.
The election of officers for the
ensuing year resulted as follows:
A. E. Willis of Rock Hill moderator.
J. F. Boyd of Rock Hill
