The Times ia reliably informed [ that Prof. Jennings Owens, of, >ck Tlil!, is nn applicant, for priu- , pal of tho Fort Mill public school. Prof-ssor Owens wan uuunitncu.sly 'ecled assistant principal of the X orkviile public school n few clays s-'o, but declined tho position. At tho regular monthly meeting tho directors of tho Havings' Punk of Fort Mill, which was lu Id 1 ^J'o! ?iay afternoon, a dividend of .*?' per cent was declared. Only 4 n r cent of the dividend is payable t > the stock hollers, however, as 1 ner . nL of it is to bo placed with the undivided-profit funds. Mr. 1j. 11. Wilson died at his 1 ' >n;f 3 miles north of Kurt Mill I '.ist Friday evening. Mr. AViison had been in ill health for eovora! I months, unci his dentil therefor.- | was not unexpected.

V., in which it is suggested {hat a reunion of the York regiment, of Confederate veterans and the song and daughters of veterans bo , held daring this month. But Cap- > tain White does not think it advisable to undertake the reunion, as ( the Stale reunion is to be held at , Greenwood during the first week ! in August, and also foi tlie reason , tiiat the veterans in certain sec- , lions of the county are ho badly behind with their farm work, as a i result of iko recent heavy rains, that they could not well nlfoi I to i attend. ? ? A Di^race to Cftadotta.

The white prisoner's name was i found to be Charles Crowdcr. pen- ' tenced to the chain gang f< r being drunk, llii fine was quickly made up by the whites and ho was released. Sunt. \V. S. Stancil, of i the convict camp, lias boon suspondod, and his removal is demanded because of the incident. Contention Over tos I'rice cf Water. . The people in Yorkvilie arc, wrestling with the water question, and the problem, as presented, is an interesting one. The water, plant belongs to tho muni< ipaiity. It wns erected originally for fire protection. For several year a the ( town council line been renting water privileges t.o consumers. The rental schedule contemplated a profit to the town over andabrvo cost of production. Diseatismotion has grown out of the impossibility of an absolutely equitnbl* adjustment of tho rental system. Some consumers paying the same price as others use much less water. This has led to the consideration of the installation of meters, and this question has further de\eloped ditference of opin..j o. ..a...4.i? * i ju.. niirmn nif municipality shall net' tlio water plant as a revenue producer or simply as a eorvcnionee to the taxpayers. In, other words, it is n question as whether water should be sold to ' the owners of the plant at cr?st or I at a profit. The people, or a majority of t!v?m,have net yet reached a conel ision as to what is the right thing to do, and tin? town council is still it - "a. rriiis body, however, I is -triving as beet it can to do the' right thing.?YorkviJio corrospon- j den re of the Nev.s a*-d Courier. i tit fort nill l Fort Mill now has a military cor As was anticipated in those colnn assistant adjutant-genera!, came up at 8.15 o'clock, and at 9.15 ni us teres three officers.
