' "m I IN THE LOCAL FIELD ?The general assembly of | South Carolina adjourned early Sunday morning. I ? The farmers of this vicinity are very anxious for fair weather, that they may prepare their cotton and corn land for the next crop.. i ?Southbound passenger train No. 35 on Monday dumped off at this place six 20-gallons of cider, j The stulf is said to be non-intoxicating, however. ?The Times has just received an order for the printing of the programme for the annual meeting of the Bethel Presbytery, to be held with Clover church on | April 13. ?The manv friends of Mr ' Sam'l N. Merritt \will regret to know that his health is such that he is unable to get about but lit- i tie. Mr. Merritt is one of the : town's oldest and most highly esteemed citizens, and it is the hope of all that his health will soon be? restored. ?The Times is pleased to see so many of our people talking ( Vand manifesting interest in the matter of a new school building. All agree that improved school facilities is one of the town's greatest needs and there are few who would not lend aid in the matter if given an opportunity. ?Very few bales of cotton have been sold on this market for the past few weeks. There are several Fort Mill farmers who still have a large part of ( tln.ir last year's crop, but are not inclined to let it go at a price they say is below the cost of production. ? During the past week workr men have razed the old Potts house on Booth street and nothing remains as an .evidence of this old landmark but two chimneys. The property is owned by Mr. Osmond Barber and it is said that he will at no distant date erect a nice two-story dwelling on the lot. ?Although it was reported some weeks ago that preparations had been made to repair Barber's bridge, over Sugar ! Creek, the structure has not so far beeh given attention. This 1 bridge is of great convenience to the people ot tne JBaroersvnie and Harrison sections and should be put in shape at once. PERSONAL MENTION ?Mr. S. A. Epps left Monday j" evening1 for the northern markets to buy spring and summer goods for his firm. ?Mrs. Lois P. Sistare, of Lancaster, is a guest at the home of Mr. J. R. Haile, on Booth street." ?Miss Lillie Massey is visiting relatives in Rock Hill. ? Rev. Edward S. Reaves returned Monday morning from Chester, where on Sunday he delivered two sermons from the Baptist church. At the morning service Mr. Reaves assisted in Ko r\rrtinal inn nf fleacnna. ?Editor Otis Hull, of the Rock Hill Herald, spent Monday here on business. ? Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Mills, ! Mrs. E. W. Kimbrell and Miss Virginia Hamilton spent Tuesday in Charlotte. ?Mr. Jno. M. Patterson, who at present is employed as a salesman for Belk Bros., of Charlotte, was a visitor to Fort Mill Sunday. ? Mrs. A. B. Culp, of Columbia, was a visitor Sunday at the home of Mrs. D. G. Thompson on Confederate street. ?Dr. and Mrs. W. S. McMurray left^ here Tuesday morning for a visit to Washington City.

T* h y ? r>,\rw^*- xvx^x^x^x^xfV^x^ x Graded School Work For February. The attendance and the general work of the school are very good. I hope to see all pupils attend until the last day of school, so that they may be readily, admitted to the next grade. We expect to maintain a standard, and to do this we must have some requirements. One of the strongest is that a pupil do the required work and stand a satisfactory examination for admission to the next grade. Those winning the first places in the several grades are as follows: 10th?Rob Grier 1st. Carey Epps 2nd. Honor roll?Rob Grier. 9th?Carrie Merritte 1st, Elizabeth Nims 2nd. Honor roll ?

Frank Kimbrell. Honor roll?2nd grade, Ruth McLaughlin. \ Average attendance for February, 198. At the regular monthly meeting of the Literary Society of the school, the following officers being duly elected were installed and assumed their respective duties: Pres. Sammie Lee; Vicepres, Carrie Merritt; secretary, Julia Boyd; treasurer, Annie Russell; literary critic. Clarence McMurray; Seargt-at-arms, Austin Kimbrell; page. Parks Boyd. It is gratifying to note how well the members of the Societv can carry on a business session. They are orderly and they seem to delight in carrying out the parliamentary rules to the letter. L. M. Buuknight. The HerJd's Popularity Contest. The Times would invite especial attention to the large advertisement elsewhere in this issue telling of the popularity contest opened by the Rock Hill Herald on March 1. The Herald offers some very valuable prizes to the young ladies of the county and already a number of our young ladies have gone into the contest with the avowed intention of capturing one or more of the premiums. A list of those who have entered the contest, together with the number of votes which each has received, will probably appear in The Times from week to week. As to the manner in which the contest will be conducted, The Times assures each young lady entering the contest a fair and square deal. We. know The Herald and its owners and have the utmost confidence in then integrity and honestv in pvm ? u ' V ? ?? ' respectx The following Fort Mill younp ladies have entered the contest Misses Carrie Gulp, Mary Boyd Frances Harris, Clara Smythe, Lillie Massey, Louise McMurray We say withont hesitation that Do Wilt's Kidney and Bladder 1 ills ar< niMM^naled for weak kidneys, backache intiainmution of the bladder and a) urinary disorders.
