County Treasurer Nooly was in Fort Mill last Wednesday and Thursday for the collection of taxes. While here ho stated that 11 - M me couectiona up to date this year hp.d been very small. Many poowill not pay their taxes until December 31st, in the hope that the time will be extended by tho governor. During the past ton days religious services have been hold in the town hall each evening by tho Rev. J. F. Lur.dy, of Shocksford, N. C., with the view of making proselytes. Rev. Lundy belongs to a religious sect of which little is known in this pl.ve, and, judging from tho comments of those who have at tended the meetings, thore is a very limited number of people in Fort Mill who are apt to become favorably impressed with his interpretation of the Scriptures. It is said that the gentleman who a few weoks ago was all but ready to begin work on the roller mill which he proposed to build in this I>1 ace has abandoned the project entirely. V* bile our people talk other towns act, as is evidenced in the case of the contemplated Pinev lie roller mill, the machinery and site for whir-h !>?. ? been bought. Ere long outsiders will begin to think that Fort Mill in a town with a future behind it. That would bo an erroneous idea, of course; but there are a great many people in the world like the man from Missouri?you have to show them. - One week from today the annual conference of tho Methodist church in South Carolina will begin its annual session in Columbia.

The Yorkville Enquirer of today says that the smallpox situation in Bethesdn township, this county, is causing widespread concern The Yorkville town council, board of health and cotton mill presidents have taken cognizance of the situation and are urging the people of that town and community to immediately submit to vaccination as the only safeguard aga'nst general spread of the disease. That the situution is very serious is quite apparent, and in the opinion of members of the grand jury the governor should forthwith direct against the pest in this county all t lie power of the State board of health. HciVi a Bit of Food for Thought. Tho manager of an lip-town store tells The Times man of an incident which came within his observation h few days ago that we in turn consider worth telling our renders. A little tot, scarcely five years old, came into the store and said that he 1 ad a tobacco tag?one of the kind for which premiums are ott'ered by the manufacturer? and wished to exchange it for a stick of candy. The manager and clerks were busy at the time, and tho little fellow was told to gather up a few more tugs ami return later; that they did not have time to trade for one tag. At this the five-year-old became indignant and replied: "By Dod you had better be glad to dit one tag." And still we send thousands of dollars out of this country annually in attempt to convert to Christianity the heathen of other lands. Would it not be well to pay more attention to the heathen at home? ? No Bounty for Spanish-American Veterans. It soems that the veterans of the Spanish-American war will get no bounty from the Federal govern mom. During the past week, the following letter relative to the matter wan received by Col. John D. Frost, of Columbia, from the auditor of the war department: "A special dispatch was published in several of the leading daily papers on or about Sept. 29, 1901, in regard to an alleged discovery of some old laws by a Brooklyn lawyer, granting $81 State and $192 Federal bounties to soldiers for services in the recent Spanish-American war, and stating that it would cost the Stat^ about $2,000,000 and the Federal government about $5,000,000. It was also alleged that some thousands of cases were now before Attorney General lvnox at Washington, for his decision, and that the matter is expected to be settled within the next ten days. ' This dispatch is very vague, and so far as the United States is concerned is incorrect and misleading. No such eases are before the attorney general of the United Statos C . ? 1 : i 1 ior niB action or aociBion. "Furthermore, uo law linn ovor been passed by Congress, granting any bountieH whatever to any soldicrH for service in the late Spanish-American wurof 1SU8 ami 1 S'J'J. Certain laws were passed giving extra pay to such soldiers in certain cases, in lieu of a furlough or a leave of absence. But in nearly all such cases the soldiers who were entitled to such extra pay have already been paid it. ,4It is only necessary to eay in conclusion, that there is no foundation whatever for any such statements as set forth in said dispatch, bo far as the United States is concerned. and it is hoped that those who are interested in this matter will not bo induced to make useless inquiries or to tile worthless claims on account of such misrepresentations." Furthor Efforts to Sccuro Bounty. Notwithstanding the fact, the auditor of the war department holds that no bounty can be bocured for Spanish-American war veterans, it is stated that the legal representative-* of the soldiers think otherwise and will continuo the notation to get the men the bounty. It is stated that the supreme court has already rendered a decision in the matter and that it was favorable to the Span' ish-American soldiers, and that j tho United States senators from > this State aro to especially interest thoinselvos in the matter. The treaury department's decision throws a damper on the hopes of the soldiers, but it may be that things will turn out right for them after all. Cherokee county will make an effort to have specimens of its various mineral products on exhibition at the Charleston exposi| tion next month. Among these ' are found iron, lead, silver, gold, i lime, graphite, corundum and inonazite, together with many kinds j of clay and stones, from the finest | granite to sand and sonpstone. lliLl Thursday evening.
