COMPLETES WORK Of
TAKING CENSUS

Archie Bowler finished the census
taking last Tuesday evening for the
Shoshone. Richfield and Burns precincts.
He had been granted ten days ex-
tension of time for Richfield and Burns.
the Shoshone job taking him the thirty
days, the amount of his allotted time.
Mr. Bowler found the work quite a
strenuous job having two more pre-
cincts on his hands than is usually al
lotted TO one enumerator, but he closed
up in good shape aud the papers were
sent tom the Boise office on Wednesday.
AS matter of fact the census enumer-
ators all over the country are finding
fewer residents in the cities than the
town boomers have credited them with.
but Shoshone is holding up in the mat
ter of population In avery satisfactory
manner. The chances are that she is
holdinga good lead over the other towns
in thecounty.

THE PHILADELPHIA AMERICANS
STOP FAST CHICAGO NATIONALS

With few exceptions, the base
ball enthusiasts of Fort Mill were
overjoyed when the news came
Monday afternoon that the Phila-
delphia Americans had won the
first game in the series with the
Chicago Nationals for the worlds
championship, by the score of
4 to l. Nearly everybody in
this section is anxious to see the
Philadelphia club win the cham
pionship and the news that the
getaway game had come the
way of the Athletics was received
with great deal of satisfaction.
especially since the baseball
writer's on the metropolitan pa
pers had picked the Chicago club
to win and their choice had conse-
quently caused the supporters of
the Philadelphia team to feel
apprehensive of the result.
The Chippewa Indian pitcher,
Bender, of the Athletics was a
puzzle to the Chicago players all
the way through the game and
the best they could do with his
delivery was to get three hits.
Overall, for the Chicago club,
showed up poorly and was re-
lieved by Mcintyre in the third
inning.
In the second game of the
series Tuesday afternoon the
Philadelphia team administered
a crushing defeat To the National
league champions, running away
with the game by the score of
. to ). Coombs was i'm the box
for Philadelphia and Brown for
Chicago. Chicago got eight hits
and Philadelphia If. The star
of the game was Collins. second
baseman for Philadelphia. In
five times at bat he reached first
every time by making three hits.
two of them doubles, receiving a
base on balls and making force
play. He scored two runs and
sent two home; accepted ten
chances without an error; figured
in two sensational plays that
stopped Chicago from running
the bases and last, but not least,
the champion base runner stole
twice on the king of National
league backstops. King.
The third game of the series
will be played in Chicago today.

Jake Weathers Sent to Jail.

Jake Weathers, colored. was
committed to the county jail Fri
day afternoon by Magistrate
John w. McElhaney, the charge
against Weathers being assault
and battery with intent to kill.
Three weeks ago Weathers struck
a negro boy named Son Reid in
the head with a rock, because
Reid appeared to have bested
Weathers in a hot race they were
having for the attentions OF a
colored girl. After striking Reid
with the rock, Weathers ran
away, but returned to Fort Mill
Friday morning and was at once
arrested by Constable Colthalp.

Dreamed of Hidden Gold to Find Snake.

Some days ago a number of
Fort Mill citizens were sitting on
the bandstand in Confederate
park discussing the loss of an
article which one of the number
had reported. The conversation
turned to a general consideration
of the things each had lost and
found, but not one of the citizens
was able to say that he had
ever found anything worth more
than dollar. One man had
never lost anything worth con-
Slderlng, because, as he said. he
had never owned anything of
value to lose. Finally, one of the
number spoke up to say that
some time ago he had a novel
experience as the result of a
dream he had had of a bag of
gold hidden on his place. In the
dream the hiding place of the
treasure was under a familiar
rock some distance from his
home. The first thing he did
after breakfast the morning fol-
lowing the dream was to 90 to
the rock, more or less confident
that under it he would find the
little fortune that had been so
clearly revealed to him the night
before. But he did not find the
bag of gold. There was no cold
under the rock. Instead there
was a copperhead comfortably
coiled up under one side of the
rock which came near biting.
him ON the hand as he dis
lodged the obstruction to his
dreamed-of treasure.

MARRIAGE LICENSE FAVORED
BY YORK COUNTY'S SENATOR

York county's senator. Mr.. w.
H. Stewart, is in favor of a mar
riage license law for South Caro-
lima and in the General Assembly
next winter will urge the pas
sage of such a law. Last winter
Mr.. Stewart supported the bill
that was Introduced proposing
to remedy the many evils that
grow out Of easily contracted
South Carolina marriages and he
is confident that he did the right
thing. For some time Mr.. Stewart
has been gathering statistics
which he will use in a speech in
the senate advocating the passage
of license law. He is of the
opinion that such a law probably
will be enacted at the 1911 session
of the General Assembly. Much
depends on the position taken
with reference to the matter bv
Governor Blease, butitis general
ly thought that he will favor such
4 law, though he has not said
what his attitude will be.
Last winter only a few votes
were lacking to place a marriage
license law ON the statute books
and the impression became more
or less general throughout the
State that such a law had been
passed by the General Assembly
The clerk of court of Greenwood
county under a misapprehcnsion
went 50 far rs TO issue a marriage
license. The license was. of
course, supertluous, as there was
no law requiring it.

CANNON IN CENTRE OF TOWN
OBJECT OF MUCH INTEREST

A curiosity to many visitors to
Fort Mill is the old cannon which
is sunk in the ground at the cor
ner of Main and Confederate
streets to mark the geographical
centre of the town and not few
of those who see the cannon are
curious to know whence it came.
The cannon has an interesting
history. 1t saw service in the
armies of the Confederacy as a
part of the artillery of Gen. Hood
in the battle of Atlanta and per-
hapS in numerous previous en-
gagements. After the defeat of
the Southern arms at Atlanta.
President Davis transferred the
command of the army from Gen.
j. B. Hood to Gen. J. +. Johnston
and the cannon was brought to
this section by the latter i'm his
retreat before Gen. Sherman to
Greensboro, n. G.. The artillery
of Gen. Johnston'S $ army in cross
ing the Catawba river bridge of
the Charlotte, Columbia & Au-
gusta railroad, three miles south
of Fort Mill, i'm some way lost
control of the cannon and it fell
from the bridge to the river. No
effort seems to have been made
by the artillerymen to recover
possession of the cannon and it
remained i'm the bed OF the river
from the spring of 1865 to the
fall Of 1876. Is years, when it
was taken from the river and
brought to Fort Mill to be used
in celebrating the victory of the
Democratic ticket, headed by
Gen. Wade Hampton for COVER
nor. The cannon was placed ON
an lmproviSed carriage in the
grove near the residence of the
late T. b. Withers, now the
property of the Millfort mill, and
was repeatedly fired as an evil
dence of the great JOY of the
community over the success of
the white party in defeating the
Radicals. But some of the more
enthusiastic celebrants contended
that the discharge of the cannon
did not make as loud report as a
good Democratic cannon should
make and a double charge of pow
der was put in. Then the cannon
burst, much to the regret of all,
but fortunately without iniuring
anyone. For a long time the can
non lay in the Withers grove sell
dom seen by any of the towns
citizens. About 20 years ago
someone suggested that it would
make a good marker for the cen
tre of the town. The idea was
adopted and the cannon was
planted at the corner of Main and
Confederate streets.

Drinking Clubs Put Out of Business

Correspondence Fort Mill Times.
Columbia, Oct. Is. Columbia
is undergoing a wave of munici-
pal cleaning up. Within the
last week the police have raided
five of the so-called social clubs
here, Selling whiskey, beer. and
accessories to the amount of
several thousand dollars. Several
of the managers of these so-called
clubs have been fined from $50
to $40 each, while the trials of
others have not as yet been held.
The revival services which are
being held here under the aus
pices of the Columbia Ministerial

Destructive Storm in Florida.

What undoubtedly will prove
to be the most destructive storm
in the history of the southeastern
extremity of the United S tates
Monday night and Tuesday swept
the entire Florida peninsula,
doing damage estimated at sew
eral million dollars. Forty thous-
and square miles of territory
south of Jacksonville has been
without means of communication
with the outside world for more
than "a hours. The last reports
from this section, embracing
territory south of line from
Tampa to st. Augustine, told Of
hurricane winds, hourly increas-
ing in intensity, and rapidly
falling barometers. The orange
crop and vast trucking industry
in that territory were reported
probably ruined.
1t is believed that the South
Carolina rice crop was seriously
damaged by the high tides Tues
day, resulting from the storm.
About half the crop is stacked in
the fields. 1t is probable also
that the sea island cotton crop
has suffered.

Congress Ignores Poverty of People.

Is there no way to force the
Congress of the United States to
see and to feel that the great
mass of the people of this country
are poor? To feel it so poignant
ly that the fact will become the
controlling thought in every vote
1T casts? asks writer in The
American Magazine.
Congress year after year fixes
taxes on the food and clothing
and shelter of the people with no
apparent consciousness of their
condition. They are the ultimate
consumers - terms in a problem
not suffering. struggling men
and women. Is there no way to
humanize the ultimate con
sumner, to make him as real a
person in the mind of a congress-
man as the manufactures who
employs him or the campaign
manager who milks the manu-
facturer for the sake of the con
gressman? If the congressman
could but once see all the "ulti-
mate consumers" whose daily
lives are made easier or harder
by the taxes he plays so careless
ly with, might he not continue
forever to see them as he legis-
lates?
What a mighty procession they
would make From the factories
of New England and the middle
States, from the mines of Penn
sylvania and the Rockies. from
the cotton fields of the South and
the farms of the Mississippi val
ley, from the tenements of New
York and the stockyards of Chi
cago, from hundreds upon hun
dreds of towns, from rivers and
lakes and seaside ports. they
would swarm millions of souls.
Six millions of women, many of
them with babies in their arms:
thousands upon thousands of
children under II years of age,

tens of thousands of young girls.
their eyes on the future; twelve
million fathers, wives and chill
dren clinging to them, would be

Clemson College, Oct. 7. - None
of the Fort Mill boys at Clemson
are distinguishing themselves eX-
cept Kenneth Minis. He has all
but made the varsity football
team this year, and, what is GER
tain, he has established himself
a rep. as a man who hits the
line. The whole corps recog-
niZes him as a most valuable fac
tor in the future of Clemson S
football.
The executive affairs of the
college are being very wisely and
creditably carried on this year
by the new president, w. NJ.
Riggs. He is very highly es-
teemed by all the students; and
the result of this long needed CO.
operation and good feeling has
already become manifest. The
college is fuller than usual: the
students are doing more and bet
ter work than ever before; and
the spirit and moral tone are
being lifted up.
The student body was officially
informed last Friday morning at
chapel exercises that they would
be granted their annual encamp-
ment at Columbia again this
year, during fair week.

The Thornwell 0rphanage.

On Friday the Thornwell or
phanage celebrated its 35th ami

a holiday and various kinds of
pleasures were indulged i'm by
them, says the Anderson Mail.
The Thornwell orphanage was

of October in that year with
eight children and one building.
DR.. Jacobs has been indefatiga-
BILE in his efforts in building up
the orphanage and it has now
grown to be a big institution,
there being on the campus 275
pupils, 80 officers and % build
ings.
The orphanage is owned and
controlled by the Presbyterian
synods of South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida. 1t takes children
from any church and from any
State in the Union. There were
about 295 pupils enrolled last
yeaf and they came from the
Bap ptiSt I, M ethoo Ist, Presbyterian.
associate Reformed, Jewish and
Catholic churches; from States
between North Dakota and
Florida and between New York
and Texas.
Some improvements have been
made since last October. The
principal building erected dur
ingNhe year was the Hoilings-
worth Home for Boys. A cot
tage was erected for the presi-
dents assistant. There were
minor Improvements such as the
building and furnishings of silo
and an ensilage house, with
electric driven ensilage cutter.
The board of trustees is plan
ming to put in sewerage and water
mains for fire protection.
The ThornWell orphanage was
the first institution of its kind
to be established in the South
that is, the first to depend en-
tirely on voluntary contributions

New Presbyterian Church in Rock Hill.

The congregation of the First
Presbyterian church of Rock Hill
has undertaken and accomplished
feat in raising money to build
a new church in that city that is
possibly without a parallel i'm the
history of church work. Last
week was devoted to canvassing
for subscriptions for the new
church, which is to be i'm Oak
land, and the Ladies' Aid socie-
ty agreed to serve the members
of the canvassing committees
with supper every evening in the
Sunday school room so that they
could meet there at Z o'clock
each evening and make a report
of what they had done. This
program was carried out until
Friday night, when a general re-
port was made, which showed
that $40, 7S7. 10 had been pledged
and signed for and in addition to
this amount there were many
who agreed to donate, but would
not sign pledges for specified
amounts. The canvassing com
mittee did not solicit funds from
any one except members of the
Presbyterian church.
