F*rt Mill Times, Nov. 17: After months of more or less vexatious delay, there is now the prospect that the congregation*of St. John's Methodist church will be able to worship for the flret time in their new and commodious church edifice on Sunday, November 27. For some time the building has been practically completed except for the installation of the heatihg plant and the window lights.

"J**10 car was built about 17 years ago and was the second automobile to be brought to Fort Mill for use locally. Fifteen years ago it was a familiar sight in Fort Mill chuggitig along over the streets of the town afld nearby country roads as best it could with its single cylinder and other mechanism now considered anteqUated. The car was owned by W. F. Harris, who operated it in connection with a livery stable he was then running here. Mr. Harris got the car from a Lancaster man, to whom he traded six horses for it. A peculiarity of the car was that sometimes it refused to climb a hill in the ordinary way, but having greater motive power going backward than forward could always be depended upon to back up the steepest hill in this section ine conaiuon 01 n. >n. viwr, sun C.

A number of the ducks were sold to Fort Mill householders at 50 cents each.

Jt was brought out that there are a number of men in Lancaster county who are unable to work as a result of sickness or fcijury received in the service and who the government Cleart-Up Squad has failed to get in touch with.

F. Moore to get these cases before the proper authorities, and any former soldier who Rives either of these men the facts will have their full cooperation, by telegram, if necessary. This is not a matter of charity, but only what is due any disabled soldier by the government Milton C.

That painless extraction of teeth is not only possible, but Is being prac'i ticed every day, is the opinion of the supreme court in a decision handcl down Yesterday in which the cpurt reverses Judge Townscnd in the cose of J. E. Harris, dentist, vs. the state board of dental examinees, says the (Columbia State of Friday. The state hoard of dental examiners revoked the licenso of Harris and refused to, allow him to practice dentistry, alleging that he had violated the state law.s in advertising that he could extract teeth without pain and further claiming (hat he wag unethical. An appeal was made to Judge Townsond and he upheld the action of the state board of .deptal examiners. Harris then appealed to the supreme court and this court yesterday reversed the action of Judge Towrsend and the dental board. Judge Cothran, who wrote the opirlon, says that practically tAc only lssuo* in the appeal was whether or not a dentist could extract teeth wfthout pain or whether or not an advertise-4' ment th'at he could so extract teeth without pain was a violation of the statutes. 'To profess to conduct a certain branch of dentistry or a certain operation in a branch of dentistry without pain is not onl>* within the inhibition of the statute, but Is susceptible to absolute demonstration as ?n fact," says Judge Cothran, who continuing says: "It may not be a matter In .which the court may take judicial cognizance, but It is a fact which a j judicial utterance can not make other- i wise that In the ndvnnce of the science j the process of extracting teeth is dally j 1 " J rvH I accompusneu muiuui i?im v> w?sciousness of the fact. The fact that the pain may follow the operation docs not at all negative the fact that the extraction wns painless." ? Charleston.
