W. L. Robbins, fori) e ly connected with the Fort Mill Alfg. Co., will be interested to know that he is now with the Rellevue Mill, of Rock Hill, iu the capacity of boss carder and spinner. The streets of the town are in better condition than they were .several days ago. The connty roads arc also in proved nud farmers who have wood to sell are now bringing the fuel to the city. While thefoads were iti bad condition the farmers found it a difficult matter to haul wood. Farmers complain of scarcity of labor and many tenants have changed places for the year. The high price of coit<>n makes the laborers more independent and many of the farm hands refuse to hire out preferring to rent land. This accounts argely for the scarcity of labor. The Southern Express Company las adopted certain features of he dispensary law with reference o the delivery of whiskey packges. Whiskey will not be deliv. red before sum ise or after dark. Parties who hnve whiskey shinned to them are expected to call and get their goods before the sun goes down.

Those interested in the invoeuient are confident that the meeting will be well attended and that the formation of the club is a certainty.

The Confederate Veterans will hold their next reunion iu New Orleans the latter part of April. That will de a delightful season to vie.it the old city, aitd a large number of Veterans from this section will doubtless attend the reunion. A momentous season is at hand and some of our farmers will pi <nt corn during the dark nights in JPVbruarv, because their daddies did, while some will wait until after the cold snap that usually comes with the full moon in March. The announcement has just been made that Dr. J. B. Mack has accepted a call to the College Park Presbyterian church, near Atlanta, CJa., and that he nud family will move to that place within a few days. Dr. Mack has been a resident of Fort Mill for about 25 years, several of which were spent as pastor of the local Presbyterian church. At present he is pastor of Providence and Banks churches in Mecklenburg county. Dr. Mack is one of the most able and pop n!ar preachers in this section and bis congregation in Provioence md his many frieuds here regrt to 3ce him depart. The {Southern Railway's proposed $200,000,000 bond issue should be a matter of interest to people along the ' ues of that company, as it will mean betterments in roadbed and rolling stock long iemauded by the volume of bus- j in ess passing over the road. The' greatest and most pressing need lias for a long time been a complete double track system, coveting at least the main line. Such an iinnrovement a-miM mil ?*.?? !? increase tbe ability to promptly tinudle freight and passenger traffic, but would tend to decrease the number of accidents which have :oat so many human lives to say nothing of the loss in dollars and ;ents. A HEALING GOSPEL. The Rev. J. C. Warren, pastor of Sha 011 Baptist church, Belair, Ga., says of Electric Bitters: "It's a Godsend to muntind. It cured me of lame back, still joints, and complete physical collapse. L w as so weak it took me half an h<mr to ivalk a mile.

The Bailee bridge, 2 miles east of Fort Mill, b e been temporarily repaired, and as a result a large crowd of people from "over ttie creek1' were in town Saturday shopping. With regard to the erection of a Steele bridge at that point, the indications are bright at present. Supervisor Boyd, with a delegation from thin nlai-M vimturl *!>.. i .VJJJC the past Weduesday and were met by one of the Lancaster corn mi a aioners together with several gentlemon of Pleasant Valley. It was impossible for the Lam-aster supervisor to be present, owing to illness. The matter of repairing the old bridge was first considered, and it was decided to have this done immediately. The discussion then turned to the proposition to erect a steel bridge at the point and all agreed that a structure of iron or steel only could be built with any hope of its standing permanently. A change of location for the bridge was also considered, but this matter was deferred until later. The plan is to ereot an iron or steel bridge, the estimated cost of which will be $d,000, and tLrt the citizens of this section furnish $500 and the counties of York and Lancaster furnish equally the remaining amount. Of amount assessed our people, we are pleased to say that about $400 has been subscribed. The matt r is to be brought before the commissioners of the two counties Ht their next regular meetings and it is expected that taction HVorable to the proposition will result.

This change will, of course, ne-, ccssitute a lot of extra labor and expense. The publisher believes, however, that his efforts to innprove The Times and iucres* its usefulness will be appreciated by his patrons and the public, and that a larger subscription list and increased advertising patronage will compensate him for the additional coat and work. Having more space now to devote to local matters, we will be pleased to have our friends send us the news from every section, and thus help us to make The Times a newspaper iu every souse that the word implies.
