Fort Mill Times: The Presbyterian church at Fort Mill was organized the 18th day of March, 1788, by the Whites, McKees, Webbs, Barnetts, Spratts, Springses and Harrisses and other, all from waxnaw cnurcn excepi me Spratts and Springses. The dedication sermon was preached by the Rev. James McRea. The present church is the fourth building. The first building was erected prior to 1788 and was located between the waters of Sugar and Steel creeks on the York side, but only a short distance from the line. The name given the first church was Unity, so called from the fact that while York and Lancaster, in England, were rivals, tne people of York and Lancaster counties, by their united efforts, had just completed this building. The name was changed from Unity to Fort Mill in ! 1876. The second building was erected in 1S04, one mile west of the first location on land given by Thomas Spratt. It was a log house with twelve corners. The third building was erected in 1839 | on the lot now owned by W. F. Harris, ' while the fourth, erected in 1881, is the one now worshipped in. Of the twenty-two names upon the roll of the church in 1860, only two are now living ?Mrs. L. N. Culp and Mr. T. G. Culp. Twenty-five preachers have filled the ] pulpit, ranging from a few months ser- i vice to the many years pastorate of Rev. James H. Thorn well. WORTH "REMEMBERING. ( Natural Proneneas of People to Talk I With Their Mouth*. < Do not forget that nine men out of ten cannot tell you who President ( Roosevelt's cabinet officers are. Ask the next ten men youi meet the question and note the result. We are a civilized and educated people who make a big noise about pontics and politicians and like "Champagne Charlie" we are al- ? ways ready for a row. When the 16 to 1 craze had possession of the south, an intelligent physician was arguing very strenuously and vehemently in favor of that heresy. The i doctor was asked, what was the ratio t then. He looked puzzled and finally an- c swered In this significant manner, " "D if I know." He then dried up. We are always talking politics and discussing all kinds of matters connected with the government, but we are not as wise * as our talk would make it appear and ' if pressed hard like the doctor, we cm might have to make the same answer. Everybody knows that McSweeney is governor of South Carolina, but who > among the voters of South Carolina can | name our state officers? That is right 2 at home. If you ask nine out of ten c peopie, they would answer, like our ? worthv doctor. We are a queer people ! w " i about some things. Let us try to name f the members of the lower house of con- t gress from South Carolina and see how j many can do so. We are Ignorant about such things as two congressmen ? were about the Lord's prayer. The story runs this way: Two congressmen * while conversing, got into a dispute as ] to which one was best acquainted with j the Bible. They could not agree, of J course. Finally one of them said to the other, "I'll bet you five dollars tnat you cannot repeat the Lord's prayer." "Good," said the other, "I will take that bet." He then started off as follows: "Now I lay me down to sleep." and ] when he got that far the first said, ] "Stop. That will do; here is your money."?Greenville News. j Good Roads Construction.?Repre- i sentative Otey, of Virginia, has given out the following in explanation of his movement to secure better roads through a national appropriation: "My bill provides for the direct ap- ] propriation of $100,000,000, to be expended in the 45 states and four ter- ] ritorles of the United States, in propor- < tion to population," said Mr. Otey, "the ! census of 1900 to be the basis, and in no state shall there be expended more than $1 per capita of population. Con struction is to be under the department of agriculture; work to be done contemporaneously in all sections, as nearly as practicable. The secretary of agriculture may let by contract or con- . struct otherwise, as he may determine, under specifications and plans to be i uniform, except as to variations to suit 1 climatic and local conditions, but in an j cases good and substantial highways . must be built. The legislatures of the : states and territories must approve and ! accept the provisions of this act before , work shall begin. Appropriation would ] be available July 1, 1902. Among the < purposes of the act are the better dis- j semination of knowledge by means of j mail delivery to every man's door; to i foster education by facilitating school 1 attendance, and to promote more intimate social relations. "We've spent 5400,000,000 on the Pnilippines; hundreds of millions for Irrigation, railroads, and foreign commerce. Now let us spend something for our own people directly and something that will make our whole country, and the south in particular, blossom like a rose." Admire* the Bell. Spartanburg Journal: The local telephone company in Rock Hill, wants an exclusive franchise for a term of years. It is said that the Bell company contemplates establishing an exchange in that town and this proposed action is to keep them out. We do not suppose Rock Hill will do such a foolish thing. No company ought to be granted an exclusive telephone franchise and es pecialiy ougnt tne iieu company to De welcomed if they want to come on account of their long distance connections. Spartanburg would feel like she was out in the woods without the Hell long distance connections. A Notk of Warning.?The Russian Official Messenger, of last Thursday, prints the text of a Russo-French conjoint declaration, sent March 16 to the Austrian, Belgian, British, American, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Chinese and Japanese governments. The declaration is as follows: "The allied Russo-Franch governments are wholly pleased to discern that the Anglo-Japanese convention supports the essential principles, which, according to the reiterated statements of France and Russia, constituted and stiu constitutes the foundation of their policy. Both governments believe that the support of these principles is also a guarantee of their interests in the Far East. They are compelled, however, not to lose from view the possibly inimical action of other powers, or a repetition of disorders in China, possibly impairing China's integrity and free development to the detriment of their reciprocal interests. They therefore reserve to themselves the right to take measures to defend these interests." The preparatory remarks that Russia desires the maintenance of the status quo and the attainment of complete tranquility in the Far East. AT THE CHURCHES. # BAPTIST.
