Banks are Warned.

Internal Revenue Collector
D. G. Hayward has issued the
following statement from his
Office in Columbia.
1t has come to the attention
of the collector of internal
revenue for the district of South
Carolina, that some of the banks
in this State have failed to COM
ply with the Emergency Revenue
act, in that revenue stamps have
not been placed upon notes and
other papers handled by banks.
The law requires that a docu-
mentary stamp of two cents for
each one hundred dollars or
fraction thereof, be placed upon
all notes, and if banks fail to do
this it will be necessary for the
colleter to institute proceedings
against them"

of the most prominent citizens
of his section of the State, was
shot and instantly killed at $50
O'Clock Saturday morning by his
nephew by marriage, Mr.. Feaster
|. Jones, another prominent cit

LanCaSter'S Big Mill.

The Lancaster Cotton Mill was
incorporated in 1895 and is now
the largest, most up-to- date mill
in the United States, or perhaps
we should say the world, although
the largest in the United States
is enough said" to the average
American. At the present time
there are one thousand three
hundred and twelve names on
the pay roll. and that pay roll
for a year amounts to three hun
dred and sixty-five thousand
dollars. The floor space alone
covers fifteen acres and through
out this enormous mill, only the
latest textile machinery is used,
so to come right down to plain
language it is one of the wonders
of the South and to see this mill
is well worth a trip to Lancas-
ter. Mill Life.

Frost and the Cotton Crop.

Several days will probably
elapse before it will be possible
to determine the extent the
heavy frost that visited this
section of the cotton belt Sunday
and Monday. That it did con-
siderable damage to all growing
crops is manifest but as to
whether it actually killed the
top crop of cotton remains to be
seen. This same cold spell re-
suited from an area of high
pressure that passed over the
middle Mississippi valley last
week and which centered over
the Middle Atlantic States, pass
ing out to sea Monday. 1t
brought heavy and in various
places killing frosts in Arkansas,
the Memphis, Tenn. district, por-
tions of Tennessee, the upper
parts of Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, all of Oklahoma and
the northern part of Texas. 1t
occasioned heavy frosts in the
piedmont section of the Caro-
linas and Virginia embracing
about one-third of the total
cotton belt. This was one of the
earliest heavy fros:s recorded in
years and doubtless did much
damage throughout the South,
particularly to the late cotton.
In view of the fact that the crop
is already very small and at the
same time late, the resultant
injury to the yield is evident. -

Strongest Wind Yet Recorded.

The tropical storm which Sc
verely damaged the Louisiana
and Mississippi coasts recently,
was attended by the greatest
sustained wind velocity ever re-
corded in the United States, ac-
cording to the forecaster of the
New Orleans district, who has
issued reports from the weather
bureau station at Burwood, near
the mouth of the Mississippi riv-
.er. The maximum velocity at
Burwood was 122 miles per hour
for a period of five minutes, and
during another five-minute peri
~od velocity of 120 miles was
recorded.

wreck near Arlington, Va,
early in the day, of his brother,
Mr.. Philip o. Hughes, baggage
master on the Southern's pas
senger train No. 39, Charlotte to
Washington. Mr.. Hughes, Of
this city, left at once for Lynch

but the latter was dead when he
reached that city.
Mr.. Hughes was killed while
he was in the act of uncoupling
a coach on the fast train. which
is, known as No. SO or the New

While he was under the coach a
local train struck the engine of
the northbound train and a
wheel cut off his leg. He died
a short time later of shock. The
body was taken to Lynchburg
shortly before noon Friday and
prepared for burial.
Mr.. Hughes was 81 years of
age and made his nome with
Mr.. and Mrs. Owen Rush, of

Mill; j. H. Hughes of Whining
ton, N. c., and j. M. Hughes of
Marion, Ind.
Mr.. Hughes had been detailed
on Southern trains Nos. Al and
az up to several days ago. He
was recently changed to trains
Nos. 20 and 38 and this was the
first run between Charlotte and
Washington under the new ar
rangement.
His death is unusually sad
as he was engaged to be married
to a young lady of Lynchburg
within short time.

MORE LOCAL HISTORY
BY OUR OLDEST CITIZEN

10 tell llCCle more about the
origin of Fort Mill. its first resi-
dents, etc.
In the year 1853 J. H. FauIk-
ner and w. D. Russell bought
the stock of goods of Jno. d.
White, which was in the old
two-story building, and en-
ployed William Faulkner, a
brother of mine who had been
living in Lancaster, to clerk for
them. Faulkner rented the
Matthews hotel and moved his
family there. Well, J. l.. Moore,
who had a farm on the east side
of Catawba river, told Faulkner
q Russell if they would buy his
cotton crop he would get his
supply of groceries from the
firm that year. At marketing
time they allowed him the top
price for his cotton and took it,
his grocery bill during the year
having been so cents worth of
coffee and 25 cents worth of
brown sugar. The firm of
Faulkner q Russell made its
fortune in one year and quit
business. The next occupants
of this old building was a class
of fiddlers who came along in
1857 and gave an exhibition in
old Unity church. They claimed
to learn one to play tune in one
day, and of course got class
after the people had heard their
music. About eight or ten,
from Is to 45 years of age,
joined, some left-handed, some
right-handed, and some ladies'
joined to learn the organ. The
notes were figures. l, 2, 8, a, 5,
6. and z, instead of letters. Our
teacher was young lady, and
we learned the figures in one
day. The next day she gave US
piece of music out of an old
note book, and then came the
show. Some spread their music
on the floor and got down beside
it on their knees, and of all the
flats and sharps you ever heard,
we had them. | don't think any
natural notes were made except
those by the teacher. Well,
next day all came in on time
and Colonel White, Martin Kee,
Tom Withers, Harris Saville,
John Faulkner and others paid
up and left as they had gradu-
ated. Mike Culp, myself and
two or three others, continued
to the end and none of the
others ever played a tune. This
class, you will understand, was
In the same old store building.
Then came a couple of Jews,
who placed a stock of goods in
it, and after one year, having
made a fortune, left. Then a
man by the name of Sylvester
Cation got the appointment of
postmaster and opened up in the
same. old building and kept
there until March, 1862. / had
been running as conductor on
the A. T. & o. railroad and acci-
dentally lost one foot. The war
was going on and Col. Springs
and others got me appointed
postmaster, and B. F. Powell,
who was then railroad agent,
resigned in my favor and | put
the postoffice in the depot. This
made the old store house vacant
again, until rented by Dinker as
place in which to store cotton.
S. P. Sutton was given the job
of buying cotton and during the
war filled the old house full,
paying for it in Confederate
money. When the war was over
he sold his cotton for gold,
thereby turning his otherwise
worthless Confederate money

GOT THE TRAIN STOPPED.
Two Attempts Were Dismal FaiIuress
but the Third Won.

but the Third Won.
When the late Robert Bonner purs
chased Maud S. he sent her to Charter
Oak park to be trained. One day a
friend of Mr.. Bonner left New York
to visit him at the park, but found
that the train did not stop at that sta4
tion. The conductor was polite, but
said that he could not go against orr
ders.
At New Haven halt was made and
Mr.. Bonner's friend tried TO bride the
engineer with ten dollar bill, but
In vain. He was then told that Charles
Z. Clark, the president of the road
was on the train, and he went to him
and politely requested that the stop
be made
why don't you see the conductorl"
asked Mr.. Clark.
II have, but he will not disobey orr
ders."
why not then go forward and bribe
the engineer
Il tried bribery at New Haven, but
1t would not work"
The absence of evasion was the best
policy. Mr. Clark not only gave orders
to have the train stopped at Charter
Oak, but promised some day to see
Maud s. He had witnessed the attempt
ar bribery, and the frank confession
of tue offense seemed to please him.
