Items of Local Interest
?The Times is requested to
say to the Veterans of the township
that a meeting of the local
camp will be held Saturday afternoon,
April 25th, at 4.30
o'clock. All members are urged
^ to be present.
?Mr. Zeb Gordon and Miss
Mamie Mauney, two young people
of the town, were married
Sunday evening by 'Squire John
W. McElhaney. The marriage
took place at the home of Mr.
J. T. Wright
?The sale of the old Flint
Hill church building did not take
place Saturday as had been advertised,
the reason being that
the bids received were not considered
high enough to warrant
il- 1 _
me saie.
?Mr. A. R. McElhaney has
begun the erection of a nice residence
on his recently purchased
property on East Spratt street.
It will be a two-story structure
of eight rooms and is being built
by Contractor A. A. Bradford.
?During the past week Mr.
Osmond Barber and Mr. TJ. H.
Ray have each bought lots on
East Booth street and will in the
near future begin the erection of
dwellings thereon.
?Protracted services at the
^ Baptist church, notice of which
was given in last week's Times,
began Monday evening with a
strong sermon by Rev. R. L.
Pruitt, of Charlotte, who is assisting
the pastor, Rev. Mr.
Reaves.
?Dr. James F. Atkinson, one
of Chester county's best-known
and most esteemed citizens, died
suddenly at his home near Richburg,
at an early hour Tuesday
morning.
?Invitations have been received
by a number of people
here to the marriage of Miss
Janie Massey, of Rock Hill, and
Mr. Einrpnp H Dpwstnp nf TViaf.
lotte, which event is to take
place at the home of the bride's
parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. Massey,
in Rock Hill the evening of the
28th of April.
School Bond Election Tomorrow.
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.

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.
And now the inevitable, detestable,
abominable, unscrupulous
and unprincipled house fly
has madelits debut into society.

Don't Like New Schedule.
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.

Fertilizer Season About Over.
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.
