Death of Lee S. Nivens.

Mr.. Lee S. Nivens, the well
known farmer and horse dealer
whose serious illness was noted
in The Times last week, died at
his home in upper Fort Mill town
ship Friday night at II o'clock.
Mr.. Nivens' health had been
failing for more than year, but
not until a few weeks ago was
the seriousness of his condition
apparent. About ten days ago
hope of his recovery was aban-
doned by his family and he con-
tinued to grow worse until the
end came.
Mr.. Nivens was born in Fort
Mill township in November, 1860.
He would have been so years old
had he lived a month longer. I'm
til few years ago he was a
familiar figure on the streets of
Fort Mill, but during the last six
or eight years his visits to
this place were infrequent. He
enjoyed a wide acquaintance
throughout York county, having
had business relations with per-
haps as many different men as
anyone in this section. MIR.
Nivens was a man of a great
deal of energy and by careful
trading had accumulated an es-
tate worth perhaps $35, 900. 1t
consists principally of lands in
Fort Mill township. He owned
the livery stable property occu-
pied by Harris & Sons at the
head of Main street in Fort Mill,
besides a considerable amount
of personal property, including
sums of money in various banks.
Mr.. Nivens is survived by his
wife, mother and seven children,
four sons and three daughters,
all of whom live at the home
place three miles from Fort Mill.
The interment was in the ceme-
terry at Flint Hill church Saturday
afternoon at a O'Clock.

Baby Finds Good Home.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Owens.
who reside in a nice, new home
on the corner of Marion and Sa-
luda streets in Rock Hill, were
presented Thursday night, by
some unknown party, with fine
baby boy, apparently about two
weeks old. About II O'Clock
there was heard a rapping at the
front door, and when Mr.. Owens
went to see what was wanted he
found a nicely wrapped bundle
lying on the porch. Awakening.
Mrs. Owens, they opened the
bundle with the above startling
result. There seemed to be no
clue to the child's identity and
whence it came is all surmise.

BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Philadelphia VS.. Chicago.

There is wellnigh universal in
terest throughout the country in
the games to be played this
month between the Chicago Cubs
and the Philadelphia Athletics
for the worlds baseball cham
plonship. The two first games
of the series will be played
in Philadelphia, beginning Mon
day, October IL. Then the clubs
will move to Chicago for two
games and back to Philadelphia.
If the seventh game is neces-
sary to decide the champion
ship, it will be played on neutral
grounds, perhaps in Pittsburg
or New York. Most of the
sports writers on the big North
ern dailies seem to think that
the Chicago club will get away
with the big end OF the games,
but not one of them has been so
rash as to express the opinion
that the Athletics will have no
more show than a ham sandwich
in the hands of a hungry hobo.
The Philadelphia team is grand
piece of baseball mechanism and.
except in the catching depar-
ment, is, man for man, the equal.
If not the superior, of the Cubs.
A summary of the record of the
two clubs shows that the Phila-
delphia team outclasses Chicago
IN the pitching department, and
eXcels in hitting, run-getting and
sacrifice hitting. Their infeld
is fast, probably Is to 20 per cent.
faster than that of the Cubs,
their outfield is a strong hitting
trio and their pitching staff is
second to none and is in good
condition to stand world s
championship battle.

Ideal Harvesting Weather.

The rainfall for this section
during the month of September
was considerably below the nor
NAL, but aside from the dusty
condition OF the public roads and
streets the drought is said to
have helped rather than harmed
the farming interests. Septem-
ber was an ideal month for har-
vesting fodder, hay, ETC., and not
one farmer in this section reports
the loss of any farm products
from freshets. Indeed there
have been no freshets.
In Fort Mill township the last
rain of any consequence fell
the first of September. Since
then there have been one or two
showers, hardly heavy enough.
however, to lay the dust. Z"
Cotton picking became general
about two weeks ago and the
conditions for gathering the crop
have been as favorable as could
be asked.

Negro Killed at Fish Fry.

One negro was killed and two
others were more or less seriously
wounded at a fish fry on the
Ardrey plantation, in the Har-
rison neighborhood, eight miles
east of Fort Mill, Friday night.
Erskine Kirkpatrick is the name
of the dead negro and his two
brothers are the wounded ones.
Twenty or more negroes of the
neighborhood had gathered at a
tenant house on the Ardrey place
for the fish fry. The Kirkpat-
rick brothers became involved in
row with three other negroes,
Will Boyd, Sam Byers and Char
lie Houston. The disputants
agreed to leave the house and go
into the yard to settle their diff
ferences. Pistols were drawn
and dozen shots were fired, one
of which struck Erskine Kirk
patrick in the heart, killing him
instantly. Another shot pene-
trated the back of Henry Kirk
pau I'm anu IllS IHlTu Oh the
Kirkpatrick brothers was struck
over the head with rock. The
difficulty is said to Lave arisen
over the wife of one of the
Kirkpatrick negroes.
At the coroner's inquest Sat-
urday afternoon the killing of
Erskine Kirkpatrick was charged
to the Houston negro, with a YER
dict against Boyd and Byers as
accessories before the fact. Two
of the negroes charged with the
killing of Kirkpatrick have been
arrested and are in the Mecklen-
burg county Jail. Will Boyd was
located in Union county, N. c.,
by Constable Wagstaff, of Pine
vile, and captured. Charlie
Houston surrendered to an officer
in Lancaster county and was
taken to Charlotte to await trial.

BRYAN SCORED BY TILLMAN
FOR BOLTING PARTY TICKET

Senator B. R. Tillman. at his
farm near Trenton Saturday.
when asked for an expression of
his opinion in regard to Mr.
Bryan's bolt of the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate in Ne
braska, said:
l am astonished and must saw
somewhat disgusted and grieved
at Mr.. Bryan's action. He was
the victim of the boilers among
Democrats in 1896, and very
justly he has held them UP to
scorn and has not hesitated to
express his feelings at their
treachery. His action in boiling
the Democratic nominee in Ne
braska forever silences him on
the subject of his own betrayal:
and this is too bad, just when
things seem to be coming our
way politically.
A Democratic house of repre-
sentatlves is almost certainty.
and a Democratic president next
time a very promising proba-
blllty. 1t is too bad, and. in
my opinion, ends Mr.. Bryan's
political career.

Billion Dollar Cotton Crop.

The cotton crop in the United
States for 1910 is figured out by
statisticians who have just made
a report to the department of
commerce and labor to be worth
almost as much as it takes to run
the government of the United
States for year. Billion dollar
congresses are becoming the rule,
but this years is the first billion
dollar cotton crop according to
these figures.

Making Good Roads.

The York county chaingang
has been working the Chester
road, beginning at the corporate
limits of Yorkville and working
south for several months. 1t is
now at Guthriesville, seven miles
south of Yorkville, and has made
a fine piece of sand-clay road.
Previous to going on the Ches-
ter road, Superintendent Lindsay
with his convicts did some fine
road work on the Blacksburg road
for several miles west of York
vile.

The Cost of Roosevelt.

That the single term to which
Theodore Roosevelt was elected
as president cost the American
people more than twice the cost
OF the running of the government
during its first 72 years of exist
ence, is the startling fact that is
revealed by the actual figures.
This is shown in recent maga-
zine article, and the New York
World makes the following COM
ment:
The total expenditures of the
United States government from
the inauguration of Washington
in 1879 to the beginning of the
Civil war in 1861 were 81. 795.-
273, 344.14.
The appropriation bills signed
by Theodore Roosevelt during his
second term in the White House
from March 4, 1905, to March. d
1909, authorized expenditures
amounting to So, 522, 982, ,816.87.
-Four years of Rooseveltism
cost twice as much as the first 72
years of the republic.
One term of Theodore Roose-
welt took twice as much money
out of the pockets of the Ameri-
can people as the combined terms
of Washington, Adams, Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe, John
Quincy Adams, jackson, Van
Buren,, Harrison, Tyler, Polk.
Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan.
During the 72 years covered
by the administration of these
10 presidents, the United States
government paid the Revolution
airy war debt incurred by the
States. 1t paid the cost of the
War of 1912. 1t paid the cost of
the Mexican war. 1t bought Lou
isiana. 1t bought Florida. 1t paid
for the Gadsden purchase. 1t
acquired all that vast extent of
territory from the Mississippi
river to the Pacific ocean.
What have the American
people got to show for the four
years of Rooseveltism which cost
double the money? And what
would be the cost of four years
more of Roosevelt under the
new nationalism. -

VOTING STRENGTH OF RACES
WHEN THE NEGRO HELD S'-. AY

An lnte~'- /, newspaper clip
ping relative to the voting
strength of the white and colored
races in York county in 1868 and
during the Reconstruction era
has just been sent to The Times
office by Mr.. S. P. Sutton. AL
most invariably the whites were
Democrats and the negroes Re-
publicans. From the clipping it
is learned that under the revised
registration ordered by the mill
tary authorities for March 8,
1868, there were 2,007 white men
against 2,057 negroes eligible to
participate in the election for
a constitutional convention that
year, though the vote for and
against the convention showed
l, ,757 for and only Z against, the
white voters having abstained
almost entirely from voting. In
June, 1868, an election was held
for county officers. The negroes
offered no organized opposition
to the Democratic ticket, which
was elected by vote of 2,O81
against a vote of 452 for the
negro nominees. In the con-
gresSional election held on No
vember 3, 1868, the county gave
w. d. Simpson, Conservative,
2,039 votes to 1887 for A. S.
Wallace, Republican. But in the
elections of 1870, 1872 and 1874
the negroes, aided by few
native whites and number of
Yankee carpetbaggers, outvoted
the white Democrats by the fol-
lowing majorities: 1870, 112;
1872, 314; 1874, 397. In 1876,
however, the Democrats carried
the county, and thereby helped
materially to elect Wade Hamp-
ton governor. 1t is interesting
to note that Fort Mill never failed
to return Democratic majority.

Barn Burned.

Tuesday morning between 8 and
4 o'clock the barn on the old
Spencer place of Col. Leroy
Springs, two miles east of Fort
Mill, was destroyed by fire, en-
failing loss of about $3.50. There
was no insurance on the barn or
the contents, which consisted of
a quantity of cotton, fodder, hay,
etc. Fortunately the fire was
discovered by R. L. Ferrell, who
lives on the place, in time to get
the mules out of the burning
building. It's not known whether
the fire was of incendiary origin
or due to another cause.

JONES PROBABLY WILL ESCAPE
PROSECUTION OF YORK BANKS

1t now seems certain that j.
Y. Jones, the young white man
who on June 80 passed a fraudu-
lent check on the Savings Bank
of Fort Mill for $240, will escape
trial for the offense. Neither
does it seem likely that he will
be prosecuted by the Bank of
Clover for uttering a similar
check on that institution, for $17O.
Jones parents, who live in Eli,
Tex, will reimburse the banks
for the amounts the young man
secured by sharp practice and he
will be liberated from Jail, prob
ably before the 18th inst.
1t will be recalled that Jones
came to Fort Mill June % with
the Yorkville baseball team. He
was introduced to the cashier,
Mr.. w. B. Meacham, by a
well known Yorkville man, who
vouched for his reliability. Jones
presented a check at the bank,
drawn on an Asheville bank and
indorsed by ''T. C. McCauley, "
for S240. The full amount of
the check was paid to Jones. A
few days afterwards the fact
developed that the check was
fraudulent. Jones was arrested
in Charleston July 10, on a war
rant of the Clover bank, and
taken to the York county Jail,
where he has since been held a
prisoner, awaiting trial at the
fall term of court, which opens
November q.
But the officials of the Savings
Bank of Fort Mill and the Bank
of Clover have agreed to with
draw the prosecution of Jones
upon the return of the money he
fraudulently secured from them
and it is said the case will be
settled within the next ten days.

GRADED SCHOOL NOTES
BY Supt. F. M. Crum.

1t will not be long now before
the new school building will be
occupied by the school children
of Fort Mill. On the opening
day there will be appropriate
exercises held in the auditorium
of the school. The State high
school Inspector, Prof. w. H.
Hand, of Columbia, has kindly
consented to be present.
1t is hoped that as many as
possible of the patrons of the
school and the people of Fort
Mill will be present that day.
Come to the school and see where
your child is being trained, and
make yourself more thoroughly
acquainted with the workings of
the school. Why should not the
school be very close to the hearts
of the people? 1t is the place
where boys and girls are made
into men and women. Show
your interest by your presence,
and be assured that any father
or mother will always have a
warm welcome in the schoolroom.
The new building stands as a
monument to the educational ad-
vancement of the community,
and should be a source of pride
to every citizen. Let it be the
hub of the town; the place where
social gatherings are held, and
where people come together and
know and understand each other
better. Whatever function is of
worth and has an uplifting char
acter, let it be held at the school
building, and make it the pride
of the town.
But of all things don't kick. !"
Of course it will not please every
one, but what could? It is a
bad sign when a man stands on
the side line and says bad things
about the players on the home
team. One hearty cheer from
the grandstand is worth a thous-
and harsh criticisms. The work
on the building will soon be COM
pleted, and besides being an ad-
dition to Fort Mills educational
facilities, it will be an added
beauty to the town.

chapter, wishes to ask that these
send in at once the money for

TILLMAN THROWS WET BLANKET
OVER POLITICIANS ASPIRATIONS

Ambitious South Carolina poll
ticians who had let it be known
that they were not averse to
succeeding B. R. Tillman in the
United States senate on March a,
1918, heard a noise Monday
morning that sounded like the
explosion of a dynamite bomb
when they read in the morning
newspapers the statement of
Senator Tillman that he would
be a candidate to succeed HIM
self in the primary two years
hence if his health permits.
Recently the impression has been
growing throughout the State
that at the expiration of his
present term in the senate,
Senator Tillman would retire
from politics, but the senator's
statement does not indicate such
a purpose. He makes it plain
that the only thing which will
prompt him to voluntarily retire
from the senate is failing health.
Some months ago Senator Till
mans life was despaired of as a
result of a stroke of paralysis
he sustained, but since returning
to his farm at Trenton the first
of the year there has been a
great improvement in his con-
dition and he has apparently
almost entirely recovered his
former physical vigor, though he
still walks with the aid of a
stick and is attended by a negro
boy when he is away from home.
The impression that Senator
Tillman would not again ask for
reelection to the senate had
gained such currency that no
later than Saturday of last week
one of the States leading dailies
published an article to the effect
that Governor Ansel, Asbury F.
Lever and Lewis A. Parker were
receptive candidates for the
senator's seat. Governor-elect
Cole l.. Blease is also said to have
aspirations to succeed Senator
Tillman, but now that Senator
Tillman has stated that the only
thing which will stand in the
way of his candidacy two years
hence is i'll health it is expected
that there will be less activity
among these or any other pros
pective candidates for his seat,
as it is generally recognized that
if Senator Tillman asks for re-
election he will be returned to
the senate.
The statement given to the
press Monday morning by Sena-
tor Tillman is as follows: IF my
health continues to improve
expect to be a candidate for the
United States senate in 1912,
otherwise not. All will depend
on how | stand the work in
Washington when l go there in
December" j."

pesha Breckinridge, Of the Lexing.

Desha Breckenridge, of the Lexing'
ton Herald, who is much more OF
Inugwump than a Democrat, declines
to support Campbell Cantrill for Con-
eress in the Seventh as the Demo
cratic nominee We may agree with
:ots the distinguished editor says
ON some of the questions involved,
but the essense of democracy is rule
OF the majority. When the majority
has spoken, we are always willing to
abide by the result. We believe in
the losers taking their medicine like
little men, and come up shouting for
more. II that spirit would always
hold in the ranks Of the democracy
as it always does with the republicans
for whoever heard OF republican
boiling. Why we would win lots more
victories than we do.
