Mr. Epps Elected township Organizer.
Pursuant to a call of President
J. W. Aidrey, the township cotton
growers* association held an interesting
meeting in the town hall
Saturday afternoon. A majority of
the members of the association
were present and all seemed thoroughly
inspired with tne idea of
acreage reduction and an increase
in the production of food stuff.
The priucipal business before
tbe meeting was the election of a
township organiser, aud when
nominations were offered, Hon.
S. H. Epps, Sr., of Gold Hill, was
'.matnimously elected to the office,
it is needless to add that the aelection
was a wise one.
Hon. W. H. Stewart, of Rock
Hill, was prosent and made an interesting

fluential man in each neighborhood
to talk with each of the farmera
with special reference to the
cutting of the cotton acreage by
planting of cane, ground peas,
corn, or anything. Mr. Stewart,
wno was elected oouuty organiser
at the receut meeting of the county
association, iufofnied the reporter
that, while be had not notified the
executive committee of his acceptance
of the office, he would do so
within a few days, and would take
up the duties of the office at once.
The duty of the county organizer
is to assist the township organizers
in working up interest in the organization
and securing pledges from
the farmers as to the reductiou in
acreage, etc. Mr. Stewart will
spend about forty days among the
farmers in the iuterest of the
I cause.
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.?
