Merritt went down to Winnsboro Friday morning to represent the Fort Mill lodge of Odd Fellows in the district convention held in that city Friday night. ?Mr. Giles L. Wilson, State bank examiner, was here Tuesday looking into the affairs of the Savings Bank, which, as always, was found to be in firstclass shape. Mr. Wilson was once a student of the old Fort Mill academy under the tutorship of Prof. A. R. Banks. ?Work on the new cement residence of Mr. R. P. Harris, on White street was commenced several days ago and the walls have now reached a height of i several feet above the surface. The work is under the supervision of Mr. Edgar Jones, who has had considerable experience in the manufacture and laying of ; cement blocks. ?At the convention of Electra ! T ~ J XT_ on 1/ ~c n ** 1 juuuge i>u. 01, rv. ui r., iviuuuuy night, Messrs. W. B. Meacham, ! T. S. Kirkpatrick and J. L.

If your year's subscription to The Times falls due during the month of April, 1909, you will And on the upper left-hand corner of this paper a pink label giving the date on which the payment is due.

P. Crayton, ! of Fort Mill, died Saturday after, i noon at 4 o'clock after an illness of inore than a month. Mr. Wilson was about 65 years of age. He was a Confederate veteran and was prominent in Masonic circles. The burial took place, with Masonic honors, at Belaire church Sunday. ? A runaway scrape in which Misses Loma Howie, Minnie Bailes and Mamie McKain narrowly esoaped serious injury took place Saturday afternoon near < the Millfort mill. The young ladies were out for an afternoon j ride and upon reaching a point j near the mill the horse became j frightened and made a dash up Railroad street. The young | ladies were thrown from the buggy and Misses Howie and ! McKain were considerably bruis- : ed, while Miss Bailes sustained a sprained ankle. The buggy was demolished. ? Reports from G rattan say that the members of the squad of foreigners brought there the past week from New York seem perfectly contented with their tiow surroundings and are working in a way that is highly satisfactory to the management of the big brick plant. The fact that none of the foreigners have up to this time left the works is taken as evidence that they will remain indefinitely and that the management will not again experience the trouble that it has heretofore experienced in keeping them.' - Times readers, and especially those living along the several rural routes should not fail to road the very liberal clubbing offer which appears in another column. Our idea in making I this club offer to our rural readers was to place within the reach of all a combination of psp.rs that we believe to be very cheap at the price and which will fill a want in the way of increasing1 the receipts of their respective mail routes. If each patron of the several routes would take advantage of The Times' offer, | tfycre would be no more talk of discontinuing the daily service onl .cconnt of a lack of mail mattcrliandlcd.

The usual ( output is 100,00J to 110,000 brick per day. The recent installment < of a large steam shovel and other 1 labor-saving machinery perm ts a < larger and better product than . ever, and Mr. McNinch, the pro- prietor, is spending a great deal of his time at Grattan looking after the business. ?Fort Mill's great need of a water system for protection from fire was again emphasized Monday, when a cottage on White street, owned by Mr. L. Harris and occunied hv Mr flnv Ai?v_ ander, caught fire in the roof. Mr. Alexander's home is situated in one of the most thickly populated sections of the town, and j being near the big cotton ware- j house and plant of the Fort Mill i Mfg. Company, it was indeed I fortunate that the blaze was discovered in time to prevent its spreading to other buildings. The damage to the house probably amounted to $10. ? Each county in the State is expected to furnish a room in the home for veterans in Columbia and to have the privilege of sending two aged and infirm veterans there. The U. D. C. chapter of Fort Mill has under- | taken to get up a portion of j York's contribution and they in-! vite the aid and the contributions of the veterans and all who feel an interest in this great charity. All contributions will be received by Mrs. R. F. Grier or Mrs. J. M. Spratt and acknowledged. It is hoped that Fort Mill will not be long in raising her quota for this work. ?Fort Mill's first fire in q , number of years occurred Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock, when I the "Massey" house, on Ardrev 1 Hill, owned by Mr. J. W. Ardrey and occupied by Mr. J. W. McKain, was reduced to ashes. The fire was supposed to have been caused by a spark from a defective flue in the kitchen, the roof of which was first discovered to be on fire. A strong wind was blowing at the time and the flames spread so rapidly that it was impossible to save only a portion of the househo'd goods. The "Massey" house was among the oldest dwellings in the town. It was built about the year 1871 ; for Dr. J. E. Massey, Sr., who occupied it for many years. The loss by Saturday's fire was esti-; mated at $1,500, with insurance of $1,000. ? Mrs. A. O. Jones and Mrs. Lizzie Belk spent Tuesday in Charlotte shopping. " .? . p duS % 1 1 ^ 1 i 11 "I " Tht "Girhentns" Disappears. Can some one vouchsafe to an anxious public just a little bit of information concerning the whereabouts of the "Girheutus.'' For several days past no news has been received in JVaxhayr relatiye to the mysterious movements of that strange and ferocious "varmint" that for a number of weeks had kept all that section of the country between here and Pleasant Valley in a state of almost constant excitement and anxiety. For a short time at least the "varmint" seems to have disappeared quite as suddenly and mysteriously as it came, and it is said that as a i result many of the colored pep-; pie up that way are breathing , more easily. But it might he | best for them not to become too i overly confident all at once. Old i hunters tell us that the "Girheu-1 tus" is an animal of very peculiar , habits, and that it will frequently lie perfectly quiet for several j days and nights at a time in order to throw people off their' truard. and then suddonlv hreak I loose with greater fury and boldness than ever. ?Waxhaw Enterprise. Two More Deaths From Smallpox. The smallpox situation in the /icinity of Yorkville is still a natter of great concern to the neoble of that section of the jounty. During Saturday night the disease claimed two more victims at! -he York cotton mill, just outside -he town of Yorkville. These vere a Miss Pugh, daughter of Kirby Pugh, who died of the nalady two weeks ago, and a negro woman named Williams, vho had been washing for paries in the mill village and whope nusband helped bury Pugh. The number of deaths since the disease made its appearance a few ,veeks ago is six, and there are still four eases under treatment. The authorities at Yorkville ire doing all in their power to nrevent a further spread of the lisease, and up to this time no lases have developed inside the ncorporate limits. The new factory inspection law nrovides that a searching examination shall be made of the vari>us factories and corporations of ;he State to ascertain if the laws I ire being carried out.
