terest. Wash Henry, a Negro man
employed at the works of the Char
lotte Brick company, two miles south
of town, was seriously hurt about the
head last Wednesday afternoon by
falling from the tram car used in
transporting clay from the pit to the
mud mill. Another Negro man had
his right hand painfully mashed by
the car Saturday morning. Some time
ago Mr.. T. B. Spratt decided to open
dairy in Fort Mill, and accordingly
he bought a number of the finest COWS
he could find for sale in this section.
Thus far he has experienced no trou-
BILE in disposing of all his milk and
butter on the local market; but he ex-
poets to begin shipping the principal
part of his butter to Columbia in few
days, the price in that city being 5
cents pound more than in this place.
| From outside sources it is learned
that there is little doubt that the pres
ent year will witness the erection Of
the third cotton mill in Fort Mill. 1t is
said that the plans for the mill, which
will be devoted entirely to spinning,
have been drawn and that the site has
been selected. The Times is unable to
learn when work on the buildings will
be begun. The motive power for the
new mill will be supplied by the Ca
tawba Power company, it is stated.
CHESTER.
Lantern, March 10: Some of Mr.. NJ
E. Whites neighbors are watching
J he results of his plowing this spring
l.. has broken his land deep with disk
:. IS. Some Of the farmers express
doubts about the effect of turning up
the clay in the spring. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that the disk
plows action is a shuttle rather than
turn, and unless the clay is very near
the surface we do not think it will be
turned up to hurt. 1.-Two hres, one
in the Springstein mills and the other
in Mr.. Stahns quarter, on Gadsden
street, raised alarms in the last few
days; but were extinguished before
they made much headway.. Mr.. Kill
Tough Bell is now firing on the G. &
NV, as the first step in thorough
practical knowledge Of the railroad

yond my describing. Mr.. J. S. Dar-
