L ' A clock in the window or the Cingstree Hardware Co's store is j ust now exciting all sorts of specu- j ations from the city's sages and 1 ihilosophers as well as from those of >rdinary intellects. The device runs md keeps accurate time with abso- I utely no apparent means of propul- j j ion, as it consists of nothing more i f han two hands revolving on a deli- i ;ate axis, which is held at right an- ( des against the plate glass window j >y means of a small rubber vacuum t up. What makes it go, nobody t mows, and it is understood that un- l ess some one solves the mystery r iretty soon, Mr W H Carr, manager t if the store, is going to offer a prize s >f $50 to the one who cracks open 0 his tough nut. c We hope some one will handle the r iroposition before long, as it causes v oo much of a "creepy" feeling >mong the populace to have such Jj nysterious arrangements hanging e round town during these times of t V&T. g m C Death of an Infant. c Little Dorothy Burgess, three weeks' old infant daughter of Mr J, nd Mrs Roland D Mills, died unex- ? >ectedly Sunday morning. The child ^ /as apparently strong and in per- a ect health when last noticed by its e ond parents some time after mid- v light, but at 5:15 o'clock Sunday norning it was discovered te be cold t a death. 'J Nearby neighbors and Drs Kelley nd Jacobs were immediately called, J nd responded promptly. After exV mination the doctors announced j ,eath due to heart failure. Natu- J ally, the shock to the parents J ipon finding their little one dead j /as severe and the deepest sympahy of the people of the entire comiunitv is felt for them in their be eavement. Funeral services were * l eld at the residence Sunday after- f, oon at 4:30, Revs D A Phillips and S ' S McChesney officiating. The re- E lains of the little angel was laid way in the Williamsburg cemetery. ^ Notice.

However, enough is known as r o the result to say that the total vote c Foiled will be less than 1,000, eighty J ? vvtUi'/iU 5a in fo itar nf I y pri cqpi ul yviiiv.ii 10 iu imwa vr* j >rohibition.

The cotton market prospects look j f food to us just now and we are op- t omistic enough to believe that it f vill improve. Farmers generally appear to be in jetter spirits than they have at any '1 ,ime within the past thirteen months, f The seed market is also good. It i >pened with a price of $20.00,which j las > 1-ear'y jumped to$27.50 per ton I . tnd it is probable that the price of * ieed will be $30.00 by the end of the |1 >resent week. s " ~ t PROMINENT MINISTER DEAD. f ! q lev Howard Lee Jones Passes ;kAway at Florence Infirmary, j r Florence, September 15: ?

Dr Joitfes I lad been suffering an illness for j y nany weeks which within the last' p en days vitally affected him, neces- j itating his having to undergo an j peration. It was definitely known j N ?n Saturday last that the end was p lear and members of the family q rere summoned to his l>edside. Dr Jones was forty-four years old ast April.

(Continued from page 1 > are now may build. Fear and hope lave had their day. It is true that bif? victories by ;he German forces on the western jattle front would greatly disturb inance, and would probably send ;he price of cotton tumbling downvard, yet such a thing could be only ;emporary. If the farmers will itore their cotton and secure warelouse receipts they need not fear, iven the worst. At the conclusion of Senator Epps' emarks he read extracts from the Spartanburg speech of the Waremuse Commissioner, Hon Jno L Mc-.aurin, which were received with apt attention. The Hon P H Stoll, who always peaks fluently and with force, was ntroduced and seemed to be at his jest on this occasion. He said that while it was well to alk cotton, think cotton and grow :otton it was high time to turn our Mention and direct our energies Jong other lines of agriculture. He )ointea our tne tact mat tne county air was one of the very best means iver devised to bring face to face to he farmers through practical object essons the advantages and opporunities of diversified farming. He urged the importance of every ine working in accord for the success of the fair, and asked the peo)le to preserve specimens of their ihoice products and have them pre>ared and pn exhibition when the 'air opens, and challenged any one ) a race for the blue ribbon offered or the best old red rooster. His address was not only instrucive and forceful, but it was beautiully rendered and highly entertainng. Quite a number of those present oined the association voluntarily afer the meeting adjourned, and it eemed to be the general opinion of hose present that-had it not be<m or the disappointment caused by exienator McLaurin's absence the neeting would have been all that iad been hoped for its success.
