The priucipal business before tbe meeting was the election of a township organiser, aud when nominations were offered, Hon. S. H.

Commercial Club of Fort Mill. j The Commercial Club of Fort Mill waa formally organized Thursday night at a meeting of the oi*. izens held in the town ball. The meeting whs called to order by J. L. Spratt, who was elected temporary chairman at a meeting held two weekB ago for the purpose of discussing the club. The by-laws of the proposed club drawn up by a committee appointed for the purpose were then read, and a number of amendments were offered by those present. There was considerable discussion as to the fixing of the entrance tee and duos and as to the hour of closing. The amouut of the fee was finally fixed at $5.00, with a monthly due of uot exceeding $1.00, aud the hour of closing to be mid-night. The becks for membership were then opened with the result that every citizen present attached his name. There were twenty-four present, therefore, the commercial club was launched with a charter membership of this number. The nomination of officers was put before the house- and. wliil#> j there were several names offered for each office, the result was as follows: President, J. W. Ardrey, I vice-president, J. L. Spratt; sec| retary, C. S. Link; treasurer, 8. L. Meackatn; executive committee, W. B. Meacham, C. S. Link. L. J. Maasey, J.M. Sprutt. W. B. Ardrey. The matter of securing quarters was then taken up and it was learned that two, and perhnp three, rooms were available for the purpose, Indications were that the club would take quarters on the second floor of the new Ardrey building on Main street. There being no further business of importance to transact the club adjourned, to meet agaiu uext Monday night in the hall. For the benefit of those who are not familiar with the purposes and workings of a commercial club, we will say that it is the aim of the club to develop the town's resources, induce out-side capital to locate among us, and, in fact, to push forward any scheme tending to the town's prosperity. At the same time, the club will entertain all visitors and strangers of worth who may from time to time visit the town. The by-laws of the club, wmcti were made up from the bylaws of the Rock Hill and Chester olubs, strictly prohibit rowdyism, drunkenness, or gambling in the club rooms and it is prescribed thai any member who may be deemed guilty of any of these offences shall be suspended or expelled from the organization. Another importaut rule is that the club room shall on Sundays be closed 15 minutes before and remain oloeed during services at the various churches of the towu. It it. understood that quite a number of applications for membership have been received and it is expected that a majority of the progressive citizens of the town will in a abort time unite themselves with this organization which promises much iu the future development of Fort Mill. Much Improved. We are pleased to note very material improvement in the Fort Mill Times. The last issue consists of eight pages, with a great deal more local matter than usual. The Timea seems to measure up to all that can be reasonably expected of it, and it is one of the best local papers we know of, printed in equally circumscribed territory.? Yorkville Enquirer.
