SAYS HE is GUILTY OF MURDER
AND WOULD MAKE PREPARATION

Doc Lanier, 45-year-old white
man, who lived in Fort Mill for
some time prior to the winter of
1909 and was employed as a
laborer at a sawmill near town,
has shown up in Winston-Salem,
N. c., with a guilty conscience
and a desire to make reparation
to the State of South Carolina
for capital offense which he
alleges to have committed in
York county some years ago, but
for which he was acquitted by
the courts.
Last Thursday Lanier stated
to police officer in Winston
Salem that he had slain a man
named Boland in York county
and that, although he had been
tried and acquitted of the crime,
he wished to return to this county
and make amends for the wrong
he had done. Lanier was locked
up by the North Carolina au-
thorities, pending instructions
from the York authorities, al
though it is the opinion of the
Winston-Salem police department
that he is demented.
Lanier is remembered by a
number of Fort Mill citizens.
both as a resident of this place
and as defendant in the case
in which he was charged with
the murder of Boland. 1t is re-
called that while he lived in Fort
Mill, Lanier had little to do with
other people and that at times he
acted peculiarly. He lived with
his family on Ardrey hill and
worked at the sawmill of w. B.
Hoke. Prior to leaving Fort Mill
Lanier fell in with a man named
Davis, a North Carolinian, and
the two are said to have gone to
Winston-Salem together.
1t is true that Lanier was tried
at Yorkville, about eight years
ago, for the murder of John Bo-
land and was acquitted, being
able to lay the crime at the door
of others. There is no repara-
ton he can now make to the
Commonwealth for the crime,
however guilty he may be.

among the presiding bishops an
nouncements of pastoral charges

been the pastor of the Pineville
church for several years and not
only his own congregation but
the people of the village general
ly will regret to learn that he
has been transferred. The Rev.
ID. S. Carver has been assigned
to the charge which Mr.. Hales
leaves and he is expected to ar
rive within a few days.

Providence Claims the Honor.

The Democrats of box 2, Provi-
dence township, just across the
line in Mecklenburg county from
Fort Mill, do not take kindly to
the claim of a Nash county pre-
cinct of polling the largest
straight Democratic vote in North
Carolina in the recent election.
The voters in the Nash county
precinct claim the honor over
Providence precinct on the
grounds that they had 103 regis
tered voters, and out of that
number SO voted for a Demo-
cratic congressman, notwith-
standing the fact that the Re-
publican candidate from that
district was a resident of Nash.
On the other hand the voters of
Providence precinct beg leave to
remind the public that the Re-
publican candidate for Congress
in the Ninth district was a resi-
dent of Mecklenburg. Further
more, they would like to know
what became of the other ten
registered voters in Nash. Provi-
dence cast 81 Democratic votes
with none for the opposition, out
of a total of 62 registered.

Presbyterian Churches Call Pastor.

Banks and Providence Presby-
terion churches, the former in
Union county and the latter in
Mecklenburg county, were left
without a pastor some time ago
when Rev. DR.. H. M. Parker.
who had served them for three
years, accepted a call to James
Island, near Charleston. A call
has been extended to Rev. Mr..
Carson of Georgia, who came and
preached at Banks church Sunday
morning at II o'clock and at
Providence at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon with a view of accept
ing the call if he is pleased with
the territory and the work.

Cotton Crop Almost Gathered.

Farmers and others who are
IN position to estimate accurate
ly the amount of the cotton crop
which remains in the fields of
York county unpicked say that
1T will not exceed 5 per cent.
That the crop is so nearly gath
cred is gratifying to the farmers
and business men generally and
is due to the ideal weather con-
dltlons for cotton-picking since
the crop began to open about ten
weeks ago. During the entire
fall the cotton-pickers have been
unable to proceed with the work
only two or three days. Under
the summerlike sunshine which
prevailed up to a few weeks ago
the cotton matured earlier than
usual, Notwithstanding the rainy
spring and summer, which de-
layed the planting and working
of the crop.
All of which spells profit for
the farmers, for, with an abun-
dance of help, they have been
able to gather the crop in the
best possible condition, free of
the stains which invariably mean
lower prices than for the un-
stained grades. Not the least
gratifying feature of the York
county cotton crop this year is
that it will be several thousand
bales in excess of last years
crop, which was considered a fair
yield.

NOW CLAIMS THAT WALL STREET
HELPED HIS OPPONENT TO WIN

Mr.. S. S. McNinch, late Re
publican candidate for Congress
in the Ninth North Carolina dis
trict, is not satisfied with the
result of the election, in which
his Democratic opponent, Mr.. E.
Y. Webb, was reelected by the
greatest majority ever given
candidate in the district. Mr..
McNinch admits that it was
seemingly Democratic year, but
he does not think that sufficient
reason for his crushing defeat.
In Mr.. McNinch's opinion Wall
street spent a barrel of money in
making certain his defeat. So
Mr.. McNinch is not satisfied. He
will accept the Republican nomi-
nation for Congress two years
hence if it is rendered him. In
a recent newspaper interview
Mr.. McNinch has the following
to say:
If put up again for Congress,
| will certainly accept, so far as
| know now, having the belief
that the same amount of money
will scarcely be put up next time
as was done this time. Really
my mail brings from my friends
over the district an interesting
study in finance. If Wall street
did not put up a barrel in this
supposedly doubtful district, then
indeed my opponents were worse
beaten than | was. The thing
seems to have gone at a high
figure" F."

GINNERY COTTON COMPRESS
PROMISES MUCH FOR SOUTH

Perhaps the greatest recent
advance in the cotton industry
of the South is promised in the
Nicely compress, an invention
which, it is claimed, reduces the
size of the cotton bale, thereby
eliminating the cost of transpor-
tation to the old-style compress,
operated only in the larger cities
of the cotton belt, besides i'm
proving the quality of the bale.
The new compress is the inven-
tion of a Chester man and it is
now being exhibited at Union
City, Ga.
Under the old system the farm
er's wagon load of cotton must
be hauled to a ginnery, whence,
after it has been ginned and
loosely packed, it must be shipped
by rail to steam compress, fre-
quently over a long distance, to
be compressed again. Then it
must take still another trip to
port. But under the Nicely sys-
tenn, the wagon load of cotton is
compressed at the ginnery itself.
1t comes forth ready for ship
ment TO the remotest point in the
world. This, it is estimated,
means saving of not less than
So to the bale, for the cost of re-
compreSSing and rehandling is
wiped out, while the cost of rail
freight, marine freight, bagging,
tare and many other items is
greatly reduced.
In addition to this the new
ginnery compress vastly improves
the package in which cotton is
shipped from the South. For
long years the American cotton
bale has been a sore vexation to
the foreign markets.
The new ginnery compress
satisfies this very need. The
bale 1t turns out is rectangular
in form and measures eighteen
by thirty by fifty inches. With
a density of thirty pounds per
cubic foot, it is so compressed
that the bale is freed from air,
thus becoming well-nigh i'm
pervious to fire and water and
proof against the wear of trans
portation. It. can girdle the
globe and still be in prime con-
dition. Such a system means
money saved for the farmer, the
ginner, the carrier, the insurance
companies and for the spinner.

Rock Hill to Build New Plant.

The Rock Hill city council has
at last thrown down the gauntlet
to the Rock Hill Water and
Electric company, it's president,
MIR. A. P. Moloney, of Philadel-
phia, having refused to accept
an offer of $100, 600 for the local
holdings of his company. This
offer was about $4,000 in excess
of the appraised valuation by an
expert. Wednesday the city
board bought a lot and ordered
the board of public works to pro-
ceed to the erection of a water
and light plant.
The council also named a
sewerage commission, by adding
the names of Messrs. j. M.
Cherry and DR.. w. G.. Stevens
to those of Messrs. j. B. John
son, w. c. Whitner and J. j.
Keller, the board of public works.

A Double Marriage.

For several days prior to Tues
day morning business had been
somewhat dull with Magistrate
John w. McElhaney and he had
begun to wonder if no more
North Carolina couples were
coming to Fort Mill to be mar
ried. The situation was none
too promising for the town to
maintain its reputation as the
Gretna Green for Tarheels, but
one can never tell what an hour
will bring forth, nor the mission
of those who do not announce
their business through a mega
phone.
Which is one way of saying
that business frightened up for
Magistrate McElhaney Tuesday
morning after the arrival of train
No. 35, which brought to town
two Concord, N. c., couples who
had heard of the best town in
America to be married in and
the most accommodating magis-
trate in the business. Hence.
John w. Seehorn and Mrs. Mary
l.. Chambers are now husband
and wife; ditto James A Cham
bers and Miss Mary Belle Hart
sell.

Old Academy to Be Sold.

More as a matter of sentiment
perhaps than because of any
material concern in the price at
which the property will be sold,
the passing of the old Fort Mill
academy building from the hands
of the graded school trustees to
private parties is of interest to
many of the towns citizens. For
the last 35 years the academy
has been the home of the local
public school and to many it is
rich in memories of happy days
spent within its walls. The
building is advertised to be sold
at public auction Saturday and
the trustees are hopeful of re-
ceiving a fair price for it. Origi-
nally the building cost $4, 500.
1t was built in 1875. The build
ing is not, of course, as good as
it once was, but it is yet sub
stantial and could be used to
advantage for many purposes.
One of the evidences of deterio-
ration in the building which
those who bid upon it are apt to
remark is a crack in the rear
wall. This crack was made by
the great earthquake of August
81, 1896, and is not due, as many
suppose, to faulty workmanship.

Loses Foot in Railroad Accident.

A distressing accident occurred
a few hundred yards from the
Southern passenger depot in
Rock Hill Monday afternoon at
4:30 o'clock which cost Henry
Talley, fireman on train No. 11S,
running between Rock Hill and
Marion, N. c., his left foot. Mr..
Talley was at work on the engine.
preparing to go out on his run,
and was in the act of stepping
from the engine to the ground
when his foot slipped and was
caught under the wheels of the
tender, being so badly crushed
that amputation was necessary.
Mr.. Talley is a young man, "a
years old, and has wife and
two children.

MOVEMENT WELL UNDER WAY
FOR SECOND FORT MILL BANK

The latest of several efforts
which have been made during
the last three or four years to
organize a new bank for Fort
Mill is now under way and the
men who are pushing the propo-
sition are confident that the bank
will be established within a few
weeks. During the last ten days
the undertaking has met with
favor and subscriptions to the
capital stock to within a few
thousand dollars of the amount
considered advisable to organize
upon have been secured. The
statement is made by one of the
gentlemen interested in the new
enterprise that the work of sell
ing stock in the bank will be
pushed vigorously for the next
four or five days and that it is
hoped to call a meeting of the
stockholders during the latter
part of next week and perfect
the organization.
If the bank is organized it will
mean a new building on Main
street for the home of the bank.
Already several owners of vacant
lots on Main street have proposed
to put up building for the bank,
but this phase of the undertaking
will not be considered until the
organization is completed.
