^^^?^The Fort Mill acquaintances of (
pHUvr. 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

he dispensary law with reference

that the meeting will be well
attended and that the formation of
the club is a certainty.

OCAL INTEREST.
ached For Busy Times Readers.
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.

The tiles' Bridge
- ?
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.
Sam Carruthcrs Convicted.
The case against. Sain Carruthers,

of his counsel, however, the verdict
of guilty wa* set aside upon
the grouuds of insufficient evi

The cases of secret assault
against Will, Charles and .Tiin

Air AH Home Print- I
Beginning with thin issue, The
Times becomes an all-houie paper
?that is, the entire body of thei
paper will be printed in Fort Mill,
instead of only two pages as heretofore.
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.
