Tomorrow (Friday) the question of submitting by vote the proposition to issue $10,000 in bonds for the purpose of erecting a new school building in the town of Fort Mill will be placed before the qualified voters of * this, the 28tn district. The place of voting will be the town town hall and the polls will be open from 8. a. m. to 4. p. m. All citizens of the district presenting themselves at the polls and showing a county registration certificate and tax receipt for 1907 will be allowed to vote. There are several hundred voters in the district, but, on account of the farming class being busy in the preparation of their crops, it is likely that a light vote will be cast. As to the probable victory or defeat of the proposition, it is the opinion of the writer that the election will be close and will likely result in its defeat. This belief is based upon conversations upon the subject with many of the voters or the town and district. The principle argument against the project is that the school could be made amply large and comfortable with less money, besides probably casting a damper on other town improvements. A number of voters who have reached the age where they are not called upon to further patronize the school, own considerable real estate outside of town but within the district, and are likewise opto posed to the project. It is im~ possible, however, to foreca&t the result of any election and just what the result in this case will be cannot be told until the counting of the ballots tomorrow afternoon. to t * W \V\\\\\A\\\V\\NVN\\*VN\\N\ >????? ??

ASSEY || The News of Gold Hill. Editor Times?The farmers are just moving up now planting corn, distributing guano, and so on, but we judge none of them will be so thoughtless as to work too long or do too much. Mrs. Lucindy Coltharp has been quite sick for some time, but is up at this time. The thanks of the Philadelphia congregation are due to Capt. S. E. White for a liberal cash contribution and also a lot on which to build a new church. The building is now well under way. We learn that Flint Hill church is completed. The Clawson Gold Mining Co. are putting up their machinery and will be reaay ior crusmng ore in a tew days. The schools have closed hereabouts and for the present the boys will turn their attention to fishing, washing, and so on, and later on will fight grass and gnats, and especially the gnats. This morning, April 13th, forty-three years ago Bratton's Brigade stacked their guns at Appommattox and started on a three hundred mile tramp home.

Although the present schedules of the Southern trains on this division of the road have been effective only since last Sunday, the people in general are anything but pleased with the new arrangement and are not backward in expressing themselves to that effect. Probably the greatest inconvenience to the people along the line from Chester to Charlotte under the new arrangement was the removal of the Chester "Swing." Running as it did, I in tut tui^iuwn, uic pcupie 01 i Chester, Rock Hill, Fort Mill and other stations along the route were enabled to take dinner at home, go up to Charlotte for a few hours, and return home by supper time. From observation the "Swing" has always been liberally patronized and it is difficult to see why the train should have been discontinued. It was by this train that the people of this and Chester county received the Charlotte afternoon papers, and under the present schedule it is feared that the papers cannot be gotten in the mails in time to catch No. 27, | I which leaves Charlotte at 4.45 p. m. It is stated, however, that persons interested are nov at work and will petition the Southern to re-establish this service. Another great inconvenience to the people of Eastern York and especially this immediate vicinity is the fact that one can- ! not under the new schedule leave Fort Mill in the morning and make the trip to Yorkville | by rail and reach that place sooner than late in the afternoon. Formerly it was possible to leave here at 6 a. m. and reach Yorkville at about 7.30. The new schedule is therefore especially inconvenient to those of our people who are called unnn tn court from time to time. Miss Carrie Kee, of Richburg, a sister of Mrs. Alex Barber of this place died Friday at noon in a hospital in Greenville. About six weeks ago Miss Kee was stricken with appendicitis and was isiken to Greenville where she underwent an operation. She improved and had arranged to return to her home when she was suddenly attacked with peritonitis and died in a few hours following a second operation. The burial was made at Richburg. Miss Kee was about 50 years of age, and besides a sister, Mrs. Barber, is survived by two i brothers Mr. Will Kee, of Rfchburg, and Mr. John Kee, of Texas. I .' L.L - . . . il IS IT WORTH 25 CENTS.

The shipping season of the fertilizer business is fast drawing to a close, but the retail . trade will continue for several . weeks longer. The season opened a little late this year on account of the wet season. The farmers did not commence their farm work at the usual time on account of the frequent rains during the winttr. The fertilizer season this year ' has been a good one, being about the same as last year and the year previous. The management of the various fertilizer plants in this State have no complaint to make of the business done during the present season. After the business opened orders came in steadily and the plants were ready to fill orders with dispatch. The big fertilizer plants around Charleston have had a good season, though not as much fertilizer from the low country plants was sold in this section this vpap as formerly, the reason being that there are three guano plants in Spartanburg and the farmers find it profitable and more convenient to buy fertilizers nearer home.

All of the Road Overseers of York County aro horeby called upon to call out the IHNDS ON THEIR RESPECTIVE SECTIONS and put the RoudR in First Clans Condition at once. All able-bodied male citizens between the ages of Eighteen and Fifty Years and not specifically exempted by law, are liable to road duty, and must work FIVE DAYS of 10 hours, or 50 hours. The roads should be woll ditched on the sides and the loose earth pulled to the center; all holes should be filled in as permanent a inauner as in practicable with the facilities at hand. The regular road hands can make a wonderful improvement, and I ask that they put in two days now and the rest in August. THOS. W. BOYD, Supervisor York County. REDUCED RATES To Washington, D.
