IN MEMORY OF CHARLES
NEWTON MELTON.

On the morning of November /,
at Is minutes of z o'clock, the Lord
called my dear brother, Charlie
and L believe he has gone to that
sweet home of the soul where they
will be no more trials, sorrows and
separations. He had been good
from early childhood; faithful and
obedient to his widowed mother !;
kind and watchful over his sister
and teaching her those principles
of womanhood which lead to a
higher and nobler conception of
life; devoted to his wife and little
children, and true to his friends.
He professed religion at the age
of twenty at Wesley Chapel, and
held membership in that church
until the Methodist Church was
established at Eva in 1912 when
he transferred his membership
to the latter place, where it re-
NAMED until his death. He would
have been forty years old the 9Th
day of January, next.
do not weep as those who have
no hope; l expect to live again
when done with this old world; [
expect to see the eternal city OF our
Heavenly Father and see father
and mother and little sister and
Brother Charlie, and press my
darling little Gus to my breast
while praise His holy name for
the gift of his dear son, the Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
Dear friends, when you read this
kindly think of me as a broken
hearted sister.

COWELL'S CHAPEL.

Miss Trophena Allen was born
June 5, 1876, and died November
%, 1913. She professed faith in
Christ and joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South in 1890,
and lived faithful member until
her death. Before her death she
expressed a desire to live awhile
longer, but said she was not afraid
to die; she was was always ready to
do what she could for her Savior,
and she loved her church and the
Sunday school. BLESSED are the
dead which die in the Lord, from
henceforth yea, saith the spirit,
that they may rest from their Ia
bors and their works do follow
them"
The committee on resolutions of
Cowelrs Chapel Sunday school,
E. H. Smothers, Miss Ida Cowell
and Mrs. G. A. Cowell, submitted
the following report, which was
unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, it has pleased God, in
his great love and wisdom, to send
the angel of death and take from
us one of our members, Sister Tro-
phena Allen, and carry her to her
home-a building not made with
hands; and
"Whereas, we, her Sunday school
associates and loved ones, bow in
humble submission to the will of
an all-wise God; therefore, be it
"Resolved, that Cowells Chapel
Sunday school feels most sensibly
the loss of our beloved member,
who soon would have received a
reward for her faithful attendance,
but she has gone to far better re-
ward than any earthly gift; that we
extend our heartfelt sympathy to
her dear mother and loved ones.
"Be it further resolved, that a
copy of these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of our Sunday
school, a copy sent her bereaved
mother, a copy to her church pa
per, the Midland Methodist, and to
each of the county papers"

the handling and safe delivery
of the packages if they will OBJ
serve the following simple rules

To STOP PISTOL "TOTING"
BY FEDERAL AMENDMENT

An amendment to the Federal
constitution to permit Congress
and the States to regulate the
practice of pistol toting." has
been offered by Representative
Frank Park, of Georgia.
Judge Park predicted that the
amendment would receive the
overwhelming approval of con-
gress and the States. He said
his experience on the bench had
convinced him that the evil of
pistol toting was directly re-
sponslble for large percentage
OF the grisly homicidal records
or the United States. He has
taken advantage of the first
opportunity to remedy the evil.
The number of negroes walk
ing the streets and country roads
OF Georgia armed with Colts
automatic revolvars would sur
prise YOU" said Judge Park.
Imagine even a peaceful negro
with revolver pressing against
his person in one pocket and a
flask of liquor in another, and

EVERYONE SHOULD HELP.

Every property owner and
business man of Fort Mill and
vicinity should contribute, if
only a small amount, to the
amount necessary to secure a
new cotton mill in or near the
town. Cotton mills are being
built in all sections of the South.
and a large majority of the towns
In which they are being located
have nothing on Fort Mill in the
way of healthfulness, good
schools, churches, low taxes.
cheap power, and good help.
We feel almost confident that if
the proper efforts are put forth
by the business element of the
town and community a good, big
cotton mill will be in course of
construction in Fort Mill before
the year 1914 is half gone. Our
people have done handsomely. in
the way of contributions for the
proposed mill; it might be worth
while to see if a good bunch of
stock cannot be disposed of
locally and, this done, the mil
will follow in short order.

COTTON CROP ESTIMATE
IS 13,667,OOO BALES

A crop of 13, 667, 900 bales, or
6,542, $50, 900 pounds of cotton,
not including linters, was pro-
duced in the United States during
the season 1914, the depart
ment of agriculture announced
Friday. This is the third in
size, that of 1911, which amount
ed to z, 549, $40, 600 pounds, being
the record, and that of last year,
when 6, ,729, ,060, 600 pounds were
grown, being second.
This years crop probably will
be the most valuable ever grown
in the United States. At the
average farm value of cotton
in November, which was 13 cents
a pound, it is worth $3.50, $40. 500
for the lint alone. To this about
SIPS, 000,0 900 probably will be
added by the value of the seed
and linters. The previous most
valuable crop was that of 1910,
which was valued at $500, 800, 600.
All the States, with the ex-
ception of Mississippi, Louisiana,
Missouri and Oklahoma, pro-
duced crops better than the
average of the past five years,
while Georgia, Alabama and
South Carolina produced their
second largest crops and Texas
its third largest.

CITIZENS TO OFFER $4,000
FOR NEW COTTON MILL

Acting on the suggestion made
in The Times some weeks ago
that a new cotton mill probably
could be secured for Fort Mill if
proper effort was made and in
ducements offered, subscrip-
ton list was circulated Saturday
among the business men of the
town and approximately So, 500
was subscribed. This list is
still being circulated and it is be-
lieved that within a week the
5000 mark will have been
reached. The amounts sub.
scribed are not to be taken as
stock should the mill be built,
but are given merely as an in
ducement to. some manufacturer
to locate a mill here. 1t is
generally understood that the
money is contributed to buy a
site and offer this free, but
among those who gave the
money it is immaterial as to
what the fund is used for.
Following the circulation of
the subscription list Saturday a
meeting of a majority of the
contributors was held at the
office of the Savings bank Mon
day afternoon for the purpose of
forming a temporary organiza-
ton to push the proposition.
w. B. Meacham was made chair
man and DR.. j. l.. Spratt secre-
tary and treasurer. The matter
was given thorough discussion
and a committee of three. con-
sisting of 7. S. Kirkpatrick,
j. j. Bales andJ. l.. Spratt, was
appointed to solicit further sub
scriptions, and to arrange for
securing options on the several
sites in the town and vicinity.
w. B. Meacham and T. S. Kirk
patrick were appointed a COM
mittee of two to present the
towns offer to a number of the
leading manufacturers of this
section. An assessment of one
per cent was made on the
amounts subscribed for the pur-
pose of defraying the expense
OF placing the proposition before
the public.
The members of the committees
appointed pledged themselves to
spare no efforts i'm furtherino
the proposition, and to report at
a meeting of the organization to
be held next Monday afternoon
at 2 o'clock.
The following parties have con-
trl6uted to the mill proposition:

COMPLIMENT TO
GREAT BRITAIN.

London is we'll pleased with the APP
pointmcnt of Walter Hines Page, as
Ambassador to the Court Of St.

President Wilson has paid silent,
but none the less striking, compliment
to the good sense of the British people
in selecting for this great post of
honor man whose qualifications as
scholar make him a desirable repre-
sentative.
The great fortunes spent by Hay
and Reid, at London; by Tower at
Berlin, and by Morton and Herrick at
Paris, have caused US to believe that
cnly man Of great wealth, VINO can
bear the expense of lavish entertain
ment:, is qualified for the position of
ambassador. It is probable that the
appointments OF multi-millionaire
who have been rewarded for their
large contributions TO Republican
campaign funds by being give nchoice
diplomatic places has made the i'm
preston stick.
That the salaries of our diplomats
are Inadequate must be admitted, but
it is not true that costly social enter
tainments which rival the Eplendor Of
royal functions are necessary to give
