NEWS ABOUT TOWN. -Mrs. O. T. Culp and her little daughter are visiting relatives at Santuc, Union county. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Broadnax spent Saturday and Sunday with relatives in' Hickory, N. C. Jas. T. Young, Jr., is expected to return today or tomorrow from Aheville, N. 0., where has been spending a ten day outing. Although home grown tomatoes are now plentiful in Fort Mill, not until a day or two ago was the price reduced from 15 . cents to 10 cents per pound. J. T. Young returned a few days ago from the bedside of his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth YoTlng, who is seriously ill at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. T. Bruce, in Winnsboro. Only four days remain after John W. Pettus of the Belair section of Lancaster county was able to be in Fort Mill one day last week for the first time in more than two months owing to a severe spell of sickness which he had undergone during the spring and summer, today in which citizens who have thus far failed to put their names on the Democratic club roll to be able to vote in the Auirust uri mary will be allowed to do so. . The enrollment books elose Tuesday. Thus far the enrollment in Fort Mill is less 'than 300. Bill Guddy, negro farmer of . Fort Mill township, who formerly ran a blacksmith shop in town, brought to The Times ofliee a day or two ago an Irish potato about the si/e of a goose egg through which a stem-of joint grass had grown from end to end. Bill said lie got the potato out of his garden. The first sweet potatoes grown in this section this season were brought to town Saturday by Fred W. Patterson from his farm in the Barberville neighborhood of Lancaster county. Some of the potatoes were as large as a baseball. Mr. Patterson, like many other farmers in this section, has put out several acres of sweet potatoes for commercial purposes. An erroneous report which aroused considerable interest in Fort Mill for the time being was in circulation Tuesday to the effect that the Fort Mill military company, now with the 118th regiment in its annual encampment near Columbia, had been ordered to Florence by Governor Harvey to suppress disorders in connection with the strike of the railroad shopmen in that city. Labor forces of the Southern railway hre now at work lengthening one of the sidetracks in Fort Mill so that it will accom module freight trains of 100 cars or more uiul to be used exclusively us u passing truck. The track is to be- extended to a point several hundred vurds south of iniii No. 2 of Hie l'brt Mill Manufacturing company and will puss through a cut about 25 feet deep, necessitating considerable grading at tliut point. , Ueorge Jtailey, about 20 year?, old and married, was tried and , , acquitted Monday afternoon b.* a jury in Magistrate J. It. llaileV. court on the charge of attacking u white woman iu the upper sec,tion of town Sunday evening at 8:30 o'clock. A number of witnesses were put on the stand for ike State, but Railey alone testified for himself. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty in less than five minutes after the hearing of the case hud been concluded. Few of the passenger trains of the Southern railway, Columbia division, hove arrived in Fort Mill on time during the last week or ten days. The delays are attributed to the strike of the machinists at the Southern shops, aud in the opinion of a railroad man who was discussing the situation yesterday, if the strike is not soon settled oonditions will grow worse instead of better. "Locomotives," said he, "cannot pull trains without frequent reapirs, and there is nobody in the shops to repair them." Col. T. B. Spratt, chairman #of the Fort Mill township road commission, yesterday said that the long delay in the sale of the road bonds approved by the voters of the township several months ago was expected to end with the sale > of the bonds a week or ten days v hence and that as soon as. the commission received the bond . - { .money contracts would be awarded for a sand-clay road from Fort Mill to the North Carolina line *nd for a similar road from the town ^ntn^^l^es' ^ridge. a ^3K2S?ST!V5?HN5 "' v ' ^ **> v * i ' . >t.XoMarrajrAhern Wedding.

One of the dry est parts of the United States is called Papago aounty, a region including about 13,000 square miles in southeastern Arizona, so called because it was long inhabited by the roving Papago Indians. This broad expanse of desert county, which lies between Gila river and the Mexican boundary, .contains many groups of volcanic and other mountains separated by broad alluvial basins, which, though the rainfall is small and the temperature is high, sustain* a scant growth of desert plants, including groups of strange trees. Here the bold slopes of the mountains, the general absence of watering places and the peculiar forms of vegetation impress the traveler strongly with the majesty and mystery of the desert.
