the Christmas holidays
and resume work on Monday, j
January 4. The pupils are look- ,
ing forward with the usual ex- ,
pcctations, while the teachers, j
are glad for an opportunity to ,
visit their relatives.
?The Fort Mill Manufacturing '
Co., and the Millfort Mill are
busy preparing to resume operations
on full time on January 4Many
of the old hands who had
been with the mills for a number
of years have returned and
others will be here within a few
days. It is expected that the
mills will start up with almost a
full force of hands.
?The Southern Power company
has secured options on
about 40,000 acres of land on the
Wateree river, extending from
Wateree creek to Gettys shoals,
and has agreed to pay an average
price of about $25 per acre. This
deal will doubtless mean the
development of tin* lower Wa-;
teree for the purposes of the
Southern Power company and
possibly the extention of the
railroad belonging to the company
from Catawba Falls to LugolF.
? Monday was the shortest
day of the year. The sun rose
here at 7:26 o'clock and set at
5:19 o'clock, thus leaving only
nine hours and 53 minutes of
daylight. The contrast of June
21, the longest day of the year, |
is remarkable, as the midsummer
day has 14 hours and 26 minutes
. of sunlight, the dilFerenee be- i
' tween the extremes being four
hours and 33 minutes.

?The play entitled "The j

by home talent in the
town hall Wednesday night and
was witnessed by a good crowd,
The play was said to have been
the* best yet presented by the
local dramatic club, and it will
probably be repeated about
January 1st. The proceeds,
about $50, from Wednesday
night's play will be used to del'ray
the cost of new scenery,
curtains, etc., recently placed in
the ball.

opened to the public a few days
ago.
? A total of 11,892,115 running
bales of cotton ginned from the j
growth of 1908 to Dec. 18. against
3,28-1.070 at the same date of
last year, and 27,269 active gin- j1
neries against 27,156 in 1907,
were announced by the census
bureau in its report Monday.
While partridges are reported
plentiful in some sections of the I
jounty, there is a general com- j
plaint of a scarcity of these birds
in this township. Some people
express the belief that the scarci- j,
:y of the partridge is due to
.he fact that the country is full ! 1
?f worthless and half fed dogs
that break up the nests during I,
.he summer time and kill the ;
poung birds befere they are old
?nough to fly.
?The fancy bazaar given in
lie town hall lust Wednesday by ;,
Lhe ladies of the Home Mission-'
ir.v Society was a success in <
every feature. Every piece of
fancy work and all other articles '.
itfered found ready sale, and a j
large number of people were!
served with dinner. Quite a neat (
little sum was realized for the:,
?harity fund, the purpose for (
which the bazaar was gotten up.

A recent visitor to Yorkville i
informs The Times that the pay
ment of taxes this fall have been '
so slow that barely enough cash !
lias been taken in to meet the
current expenses of the county. (
During the past few days, however,
there has been somewhat
of a rush of business at the
treasurer's office, and it "s likely
that by the lirst of the year
fully as many will have met this
obligation as in former years. ?
? In the case of Jas. II. Patterson
against the Fort Mill
Manufacturing Company, called
in the circuit court at Yorkville |
Wednesday, the jury returned a ,
verdict for the plaintiff in the |
sum of $2,000. This was an action
for $25,000 for personal in- i
juries alleged to have resulted j
from negligence on the part of
the defendant company. Thos.
F. McDow and Jno. R. Hart
represented the plaintiff and ,
W. B. Wilson, Sr., the defend?
ant.
?Information from Mr. Theodore
V. Boyd of Fort Mill township.
who has been in bad health
for some time past, is that he
has been confined to his bed
during the past few weeks and
that his condition does not show
much signs of improvement. Mr.
Boyd's trouble is dropsy of the
heart. His numerous friends are
very much concerned about him
and they sincerely hope for his
recovery. -Yorkville Enquirer.
Rev. S. J. Bethea, the newly
appointed pastor of the Fort
Mill Methodist church, arrived j
several days ago and on Sunday i
night filled his pulpit here for*
the first time. A large congre- i
gat ion assembled to hear Mr.
Bothea's initial sermon and all
were deeply impressed with his
remarks. Mr. Bethea is an
excellent preacher and his resi
dence in Fort Mill will doubtless
result in the up-building of bis
churches and the betterment of
all those with whom he is thrown
in contact.
? Although weather conditions
have been anything but
pleasing during the ?>ast several
days, the merchants report good
i sales and several have been compelled
to call in extra h ip to
a"Comodate the steady stream,
of Xmas shoppers. It cannot he
said, however, that trade this
year has been as heavy as is
usual just before the holidays,
but in consideration of the mills
being closed and the low,price of
, cotton, the merchants as a gonJ
era! rule are well pleased with
' the season's business.

Ardrey's
'
One of the most enjoyable
occasions of the year was the
annual supper of the local camp
of Woodmen of the World Friday
night. There were upwards
of 100 members of the order
present together with an equal j
number of invited guests. After ;
the supper short addresses were
made by Rev. Edw. S. Reaves,
Mr. J. W. Ardrey and Dr. T. S. |
Kirkpatrick, all of which were
much enjoye 1. The local camp
of Woodmen is in a" very prosperous
condition, there being at
present a number of applications
jn hand from parties who wish
o join the order.
Mrs. Florence Thoruwell Dead.
It was indeed a sad shock to
the town and community Friday
morning to learn that Mrs.
Florence E. Thoruwell, widow of
the late Dr. dames II. Thornwell,
bad died just after the hour of
midnight. Mrs. Thornwell had !
been ill for some days, but few,
if any, outside the family circle
knew that her illness wn? nF
such a serious nature. Iler death
was therefore u great shock to
the public.
The funeral service took place
Saturday morning at 11 o'clock
from the Presbyterian church
and was attended by a large
crowd of sorrowing relatives and
friends. The service was conducted
by Rev. YV. A. Hafner,
assisted by Rev. Dr. Bean, of
Clinton, and Rev. E. S. Reaves.
The interment was made in the I
family plot at the city cemetery.
Mrs. Thornwell was a native i
of Anderson county, having been
born there on August 2nd, 1849.
She was married to l >r. Thorn- j
well October 26th, 1869. She!
was the mother of ten children
of whom all survive except the
youngest, Bennett, who did in
infancy. The surviving children
are Earle E., James II. and Allison
Thornwell, Misses Florence, j
Mary and Frances Thornwell and '
Mesdames J. K. Roach, R. G.
McLe. s and J. R. Elliott. Mrs.
Thornwell was for quite a num
ber of years president of the
local chapter U. D. C., and her
death is a distinct loss to that
organization.
'lhe deceased was an every
day Christian. The beautifying
indue ices of a pure religion were
spread over a life and character
as si otless and charming as was
ever possessed by any of the
noble women who have lived and
died in the ages that are gone.
As such a life was a blessing and
benefaction to all within the
sphere of its influence, so is the
death of such a one a public misfsrtune,
as well as an irreparable
loss to the home circle made,
dc.-.olatc by her departure.

after he had secured a divorce
from his wife, R. W. Theobald, i
of Seattle, lias paid a line of
$1.00. lie was held in contempt
of court.
