?Mrs. T. W. Finley and children
and Mrs. R. S. Wilson, pf
.Charlotte, spent Thursday with
relatives in Fort Mill.
?Mr. and Mrs. Gary S. Thompson
and little daughter came
down from Greensboro, N. C.,
the past week to visit Mrs.
Thompson's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. M. Culp.
--Mr. T. Ed. 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.
Spratt were named as representatives
to the meeting of the grand
lodge at Charleston, May 25th. !
The alternates are Messrs. S. A. ,

Blankenship.
?Fifteen of the best shots in ;
each of the three State regiments
are to assemble at the Charleston
range May 10 to 15 for a contest
for the 15 places on the team to
represent South Carolina at the
national rifle contest. The First!
regiment has for some reason I
heretofore been scarcely repre-'
sented in the team chosen tro
compete in the national contest.
? 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. Aside from the
postal law upon the subject, the
publisher of this paper is unable,
and cannot, wait longer than
12 months on the payment of >
subscriptions.
?Mr. James Wilson, one of
the oldest and most widely
known farmers of the Belaire
section of Lancaster county and
an uncle of Mrs. W. 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 town treasurer's books
for the payment of street tax
for 1909 will be opened May 1.

?The board of trustees of
Winthrop College has authorized
its building committee to go
ahead with the plans and ar- ,
rangements for the new kitchen ,
and dining room and auditorium :.
elargement so as to have them j (
ready for the opening of the fall j
session next September, under ; (
the appropriation provided by j
the recent Legislature. t
?Invitations were issued the y
past week to the marriage next 1
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock of \
Miss Mabel White Ardrey, and 1
Mr. George B. Stewart, the A

of the State. Mr. Stewart is a
popular traveling salesman, *
whose present headquarters is 1
Charlotte, N. C. c
<
?The Savings Bank of Fort i
Mill, which ranks among the
most prosperous of the smaller
banking institutions of the State, .
a short time ago increased its j
capital stock to $20,000, and at a (
meeting of the board of directors t
the past week Dr. T. S. Kirk- .
Patrick and Dr. J. L. Spratt were
elected as new members of the t
board. Dr. Kirkpatrick was also (
elected vice-president to fill the .
vacancy caused recently by the \
death of Mr. J. M. Spratt. <
?A record business was done
at the Charlotte Brick company's r
plant at Grattan Thursday. Four- xr
teen cars, containing 152,000 j
brick, were shipped. 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

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
