lotte road, to its old camp below Blairs-
vile. Everything is being removed
from the Charlotte road, and the plant

Salesday.
Next Monday is salesday for Octo-
ber. The clerk has only one auction
sale to make and the sheriff has none;
but all the same the occasion promises
to be busy time in Yorkyille. With
the price of cotton booming, new goods
arriving, large display of good horses,
and other inducements, there is no
reason why there should not be large
crowd of visitors in town.
The First Frost.
The first frost of the season was re-
ported last Tuesday. 1t was not gen.
eral ; but only in spots. The only
point in this county from which we
have positive information of frost was
near Kings Mountain battle ground.
The saw mill men say they saw con-
siderable frost on the saw dust around
the mill. Of course frost may have
also been seen in other localities.
Sent to the Asylum.
Will Sims, the Rock Hill Negro who
some time ago killed his child, and
who has since become very violent, has
been adjudged lunatic through the
probate court, and on Thursday night
was sent to the State Hospital for the
Insane. In view of the fact that the
negro was charged with a felony, his
removal required an order from
circuit judge. The necessary order
was signed by Judge Buchanan. Chief
of Police Love took Sims to Columbia.
Crescent Mill.
The "Old" Rock Hill Mill, now the
Crescent, is undergoing certain repairs
as rapidly as possible. The immedi.
ate work consists in renewing the
boilers and building a new engine
house. 1t is expected that the mill
will be put in operation during October
and as soon as possible thereafter a
number of new spindles are to be
added. The new company is pushing
work on the mill with great energy
and contemplates quite number of
improvements. All the other Rock
Hill mills are now running full blast.
Through With Their Work.
The special committee of the grand
jury, appointed to examine the books
and papers Of the county officers, con-
cluded its labors on Thursday after
noon. AS one of them remarked to
the reporter: "We didn't finish; we
lust quit" The committee divided its
work, two taking an office at time.
They worked faithfully during their
stay, and although they are not dis
posed to give out anything in advance,
it is safe to say that they found every.
thing all right. The substance of their
report will be that they have done
their duty.
