Saturday morning. So regular had be-
come his visits that Police officer Potts
suspected that he was engaged in some
kind of get-rich-q quick scheme. Sat
urday morning the officer arrested
Mack and his suspicious were partly
confirmed when he found upon the ne
gro an eight bottle of cocaine.
The cocaine was confiscated and Mack
was locked up. But for want of wit .
nesses to testify that Mack had been
retailing the deadly drug, he was re-
leased from the station house Satur-
day afternoon and told to stay away
from Fort Mill for two years. 80. Mr..
w. H. Windle, one of Fort Mill town.
ships we'll known farmers, had the
misfortune Wednesday afternoon to
lose from his pocket a roll of currency
amounting to $500, 13 20-dollar bills.
All effort to locate the money has
proved futile. Wednesday afternoon
Mr.. Windle joined friend at his (Mr.
Windle's) home and the two drove in
a buggy to the home of a neighbor,
several hundred yards distant. Mr..
Windle thinks the money slipped from
his pocket and fell to the ground while
he was in the buggy. He is confident
that he had the money, wrapped in a
piece of paper, in his trousers pocket
when he left home. After alighting
from the buggy he missed the package
and although a search of the road the
buggy had traversed was made shortly
after the loss was discovered, the mon
ey could not be found. Several wa
gons passed over the road meanwhile,
however, and it is Mr.. Windle's opinion
that the money was found by an occu-
pant of one of the wagons. The $3.50

only a few hours, being a part of an
$500 payment which he received at the
Savings Bank of Fort Mill Wednesday
morning for a lot of cotton he had sold
on the local market. .... There seems
to be no such a thing as suppressing
Willard o. Bales, the eX-notary public
of Fort Mill township, as a "profes-
sional nuptialist." He is again seek
ing business as the greatest marrying
specialist the south ever knew" not
withstanding the fact that he has been
deprived of his commission of notary
public. So reprehenSible had the con-
duct of Bales marriage bureau" be-
come to the good people of this COM
munity and to the better element OF
the citizenship of Mecklenburg county,
n. c., that in 1906 Governor Hayward
was induced to revoke Bales COM
commission seems to have had the ef-
feet of putting Bales under restraint
only temporarily. He is again adver-
tising for business and as formerly
is issuing a schedule of his marriage
fees. Until few weeks ago, little had
been heard of Bales in Fort Mill since
Governor Hayward sought to close up
his bureau" in 1906. He had been out
of the state for some time, there being
an indictment against him in the York
county court for adultery. But a rath-
er unexpected turn in Bales domestic
affairs Influenced Solicitor Henry to
quash the indictment and he is again
residing at his home in upper Fort
Mill township, conducting the affairs of
his farm and trying to induce love sick
swains and lassies to come to him to
be made husband and wife. Bales
latest scheme of advertising his mar
riage bureau" is a neatly printed post
card which he is circulating generously
throughout the country. The face of
the postcard bears likeness of Bales,
printed in blue ink, with the following
underneath it: Squire Bales, the
greatest marrying specialist the south
ever knew. Residence, York county,
S. c. Nearest postoffice, PineVille, n.
C. Railroad station one mile" On the
reverse side of the postcard is the
schedule of marriage fees, concluding
with five lines of doggerel about his
ceremony and kind treatment.
