$224, ,944 for Clemson From Tag Tax.

The State treasurer has re-
ceived the sum of 1924, 944. 95
since the first of the year from the
sale of fertilizer tags. This fund
goes to Clemson college. The total
amount received from the tax last
year was approximately $2O2, 600.
The total amount received to this
date last year was $185, 396. 16.
1t is estimated that approx
mately $240, 600 will be received
during the year from the tax.
This means that the farmers of
South Carolina have used nearly
1000, 600 tons of fertilizer this
year, as there is a tax of 25 cents
on every ton sold.
1t is expected that the matter
Of increasing the scholarships at

MIR. S. S. McNinch Defeated.

From the returns so far avail
able, Mr.. S. S. McNinch, Republi-
can candidate for Congress in
the Ninth North Carolina district,
appears to have made a surpris-
lngly poor race against his Demo-
cratic opponent, Congressman E.
Y. " ebb. Mr.. McNinch ran far
behind the vote given the Repub-
lican nominee two years ago, and
the indications are that Mr..
Webb's majority will be more
than 1000. Mecklenburg county
stood by the Democratic nominee,
as usual, and out of 4,500 votes
in the county Mr.. McNinch got
less than a thousand. In Pine
vile Mr.. McNinch got only two
votes out of 80 and at Providence
box No. 2 he failed to get single
vote while the 81 Democrats
were busy putting in the ballots
for Mr.. Webb. Coming from
Charlotte to his brick yard at
Grattan yesterday morning, Mr..
McNinch remarked that his de-
feat was due to the failure of the
Republicans to give him the sup
port he had expected.

Odd Picture of Methodist Church.

Mr.. L. j. Massey is the owner
of an interesting collection of old
photographs, most of which he
made as an amateur photogra-
pher years ago. In the collec-
ton is a number of Fort Mill
scenes of quarter century ago.
One is an odd picture of the Fort
Mill Methodist church. In the
picture the church appears to be
on the eminence of a very steep
hill, which could be ascended
only with great difficulty. The
building looks as if it might
topple over any moment and car
ry with it to destruction a num-
Der of persons who are seated on
the steps. The negative of the
photograph was given to Mr..
Massey by an itinerant photog-
rapher, who explained that the
somewhat awkward appearance
of the building was due to the
chemicals on the negative run
ming" from the excessive heat of
the summers day when an at
tempt was made to print from it.

Death of Mrs. Julia Williamson.

The third death in the William
son family of Pineville during the
last two years occurred Sunday
morning when Mrs. Julia Will
hanson passed away. Two years
years ago Mrs. Williamson's hus-
band, Lundus Williamson, died.
He was survived only six months
by their oldest son, Grier William
son. Mrs. Williamson had been
i'll for several months and her
death was not unexpected. She
is survived by three children,
Walker Williamson, Miss Flora
Williamson and Mrs. E. H. Hand.
Mrs. Williamson was a member
of the Pineville Presbyterian
church and the interment was in
the cemetery of that town Mon
day morning, the services being
conducted by the Rev. DR.. Heigh-
ton.

Work for the S. P. C.. A.?

If there is any truth in the
report of an incident of cruelty
to which a mule belonging to
Stafford Withers, colored, was
subjected by it's owner some days
ago there is work in Fort Mill
township for the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
and Withers should be made to
suffer for his heartlessness. One
day recently Withers rode his
mule into town and there was
an abrasion of the skin on the
animals hip half as large as a
dollar bill. Inquiry as to the
cause of the abrasion brought
out the statement from a white
man who claimed to know the
facts that, because the mule was
old and slow, Withers had taken
knife or other edged instru-
ment and scraped the skin from
the mules hip, so that he could,
by striking the animal on the
sore with a whip, intiict punish
ment which would induce it to
quicken it's gait.

Barber Land Bid In by Heirs.

The four tracts of land in
Indianland township, Lancaster
county, comprising a part of the
estate of the late Mrs. T. E.
Barber, which were advertised
to be sold at the court house in
Lancaster Monday, did not pass
out of the hands of the Barber
heirs. Mr.. T. H. Barber, ad-
ministrator of the estate and one
of the heirs, did not consider the
bids offered for the land repre-
sentative of it's worth and he
therefore bid the four tracts in
at an aggregate price of So, 436.
The land is situated in the Belair
section and much of it is virgin
forest.

Drifting Away From One-crop Idea.

Gradually the farmers of this
section are drifting away from
the idea that for them there is
profit to be derived only in the
cultivation of cotton. This year
there has been more corn grown
in Fort Mill township and contig-
uous communities than ever be-
fore and the acreage devoted to
cotton in the future is expected
to show a decrease from year to
year. The prospect is that there
will be less Western corn shipped
to Fort Mill for consumption next
year than in any like period for
a long time, which will be part
ly due to the unusual amount of
home-raised corn which will be
sold on the local market by local
farmers during the next six
months.

The Condition of ]. L. Thomasson.

The Fort Mill relatives of J.
Lon Thomasson, who was taken
as patient to the North Caro-
lima Insane asylum from his home
In Gastonla some months ago,
were gratified to receive a letter
from Mr.. Thomasson a few days
ago in which he stated that his
general health was good. 1t is
learned from other sources, how
ever, that there seems little
hope for the early recovery of
Mr.. Thomasson. At times his
mind his clear enough, but for
the most part he is irrational and
does not appear to be on the road
to recovery. Mr.. Thomasson
formerly lived in Fort Mill.

Full Page Advertisements.

This week. for the first time
in the 19 and more years of the
life of The Times, the paper
carries two full pages of adver-
tising matter for local mer-
chants. In many South Carolina
towns such liberal use of printers s
ink is the rule rather than the
exception, and there are few is
sues of a number of weekly
papers in the State which do not
contain at least one full page
advertisement for home mer-
chant. That the value of The
Times as an advertising medium
is at last recognized is gratifying
to the paper as it should be to
the community.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
ISSUED BY PRESIDENT TAFT

The vigorous growth and prog.
ress of the country as reflected
by the records of population and
harvests and the general condi-
tlons of international peace are
things for which thanksgiving is
especially due for the year 1910.
according to the annual Thanks
giving day proclamation issued
by President Taft Sunday. The
proclamation is as follows:
This year of 1910 is drawing
to close. The records of popu-
lation and harvests, which are
the index of progress, show
vigorous national growth and the
health and prosperous wellbeing
OF our communities throughout
this land and in our possessions
beyond the seas. These bless
ilngs have not descended upon us
IN restricted measure, but over
flow and abound. They are the
blessings and bounty of God.
We continue to be at peace
with the rest of world. In all
essential matters our relations
with other peoples are harmoni-
Gus, with an ever growing reality
OF friendliness and depth Of
recognition of mutual depend
ence. 1t is especially to be noted
that during the past year great
progress has been achieved in
the cause of arbitration and the
peaceful settlement of inter
national disputes.
Now, therefore, l, William
Howard Taft, president of the
United States of America, in ac-
cordance with the wise custom
of the civil magistrate since the
first settlements in this land and
with the rule established from
the foundation of this govern
ment, do appoint Thursday, No
vember "a, 1910, as a day of
national thanksgiving and pray
er, enjoining the people upon that
day to meet in their churches for
the praise of Almighty God and
to return heartfelt thanks to Him
for all His goodness and loving
kindness"
