A novel aucti| ,le is adver-
tlsed on the bull board at the
local pOStOfficc to take place in
Fort Mill Saturday afternoon at
! o'clock in front of the store of
l.. A. Harris & Co.. when a hound
belonging to a citizen of the upper
section Of the town is knocked
down to the highest bidder to
satisfy damages and mainte-
nance amounting to $3.50. The
sale is to be conducted under the
direction of Magistrate j. R.
Halle. whose constable. j. H. Pat
terson. will be the auctioneer.
Robert Burrage was the owner
OF two Belgian harcs which he
kept in a warren at his home in
the village of MILL No. of the
Fort Mill Manufacturing compa-
ny. One night about three weeks
ago a dog broke into the warren
and killed the rabbits. Conclud-

also. the steel trap did the job
planned for it, rs the yelping of
the dog disclosed.
Burragc located the owner of
the dog and demanded 81 DANA
geS for the death of the rabbits.
The owner of the dog refused to
pay the dollar. saying he did not
think the rabbits worth so much.
Rurrage held out for the dollar.
however. and in addition said
he would not only hold the dog
and nroceed legally to try to col
lect the amount. but would put i'm
another bill for maintenance of
the dog until il could be sold by
the local magistrate. Neither the
claim for damages nor the threat
of Il bill for maintenance moved
the owner of the dog. He was OBJ
durate. Hence the prospect of
the first auction sale of dog
ever witnessed in Fort Mill.

server of Tuesday said:

the life of the exposition and re-
ports III the local columns iudi-
cate that he measured up to the

glad OF the opportunity to do

BIG LIQUOR SEIZURE.
Large Quantity Found on Place
Of Willard o. Bales.

The home of Willard 0. Bales,
Fort Mill township farmer, vino
a few years ago gained notoriety
extending over both the Carroll
mas as the marrying squire (he
was notary public), entertained
for short time Monday after
noon a party whose aspect was
quite different to that of the
Hretna Green parties of former
days when officers from Mecklen-
burg county and Fort Mill visit
ed his place and captured a large
quantity of bottled in bond whis-
key hidden in IA corn crib, just
across the line in North Carolina
According to the South Carolina
officers the seizure amounted to
14O quarts, but the Charlotte pa
pers of Tuesday afternoon and
Wednesday morning had heard of
only So quarts being captured by
the raiding party.
For the rather unique reason
that Bales home is in South Car
olina and the barn and other out
buildings OH the place are i'll
North Carolina, the raid was par
ticipated in by officers from both
States. After searching the resi-
dence and barn, the officers dis
covered the .whlskey carefully
hidden under pile of oats i'll the
corn crib. The crib being OH the
North Carolina side of the line.
the whiskey therefore fell to the
officers from that State.
Bales was not at home when
the officers visited his place and
up to this morning no word had
been received in Fort Mill of his
arrest. He is said to have been
in Fort Mill Monday. Magistrate
Halle of Fort Mill is of the opin-
ion that since the whiskey was
captured in North Carolina and
Bales lives in South Carolina and
is said to have been in this State
when the raid was made. compll-
cations might be avoided by leav-
ing his apprehension to the fed
eral authorities. No warrant for
Bales arrest has been issued in
South Carolina, SO far as The
. Times is able to learn.
The officers participating in the
raid were: Rural Officers Brown
and Johnston of Mecklenburg
county and V. ID. Potts. police
man, and j. r. Lee. special con
stable, of Fort Mill.
Sheriff Fred Quinn of York
county state to The Times Tues
day afternoon that his Office had
had its eye on Bales place for
some time and that he was not
surprised to hear of the seizure
of liquor there.

Cause Of Controversy.
The controversy hinges on whether
this change was accomplished by ac-

States' position Is that the change,
though relatively rapid, came about
through gradual alterations Of the

LACK MIDINETTES IN PARIS

Paris.-There Is. alas. a shortage In
the ranks of the little midlnettes In
Paris and there Is gloomy fore
boding among the leaders of the
wealthy and important syndicate Of
milliners. Despite the many improve
ments since the war In the working
conditions Of these girls, their num-
ber is decreasing, or the petite Pari-
sian Is turning to typewriting and kim
dred occupations.
The midinette's life was not always
rosy, for she had to pay to be appren-
ticed, earned little when the appren-
ticeship was ended and faced enforced
idleness when business was bad. SO,
Notwithstanding the gay pictures of
her painted by Partisan artists, 1t is
not surprising that the Paris working
