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

.up.u^ u? possioic, notily them

Where Rain Seldom Falls.
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.
A man may" be right in the
swim and have all he can do to
keep his head above water.
Speaking of profiteering, the
ex-kaiser has written a book for <
which he wants $10 a word.
