you pay up.
? Mr. S. J. Kimbrell, one of !
the oldest and best known i
farmers of the township, has
l>een seriously ill for several
days.
-A large majority of the
farmers of this section have begun
planting their cotton crop
for 1909. That they make a
good crop and receive a big
price for it is the wish of The
Times.
- The price of cotton reached
10 cents the past week for the
first time in months and as a re-"
suit a large majority of those
holding the staple for a better
price have sold their holdings.
The best prico on the local market
yesterday was 10 cts.
?The old Culp warehouse near i
the railroad, south of the freight
depot, is being torn away to
make room for a much larger
building to be used by Mr. V. B.
Blankenship as a wareroom for
lumber, lime, cement, etc.

several years has held a position

?The election to decide upon
the issuance of $10,000 in school
bonds will be held on next Tuesday

of the district it is not expected
that a large vote will be
polled, but those in touch with
the situation predict a decisive
victory for the bond issue.
?Pensioners of this township
will be interested to know that
the State pension board held its
final meeting in Columbia Tuesday

I building will be of brick, more
I than 100 feet jn length, and will

another column, the ladies of the
Order of the Eastern Star will
give an entertainment in the
town hall Friday night, the 23rd.
A small admission fe^ will be
charged and light refreshments
will be served after the entertainment.
?There being little opposition
to the movement for a school
bond issue, little is heard on the
streets of the matter. It is to be
hoped that the proper parties
will lose no time in issuing the
bonds, selecting the site and
making other arrangements for
the new building. Let's com?
plete the school and have it
ready for occupancy at the be- |
ginning 01 tne fiext scnooi term,
Strong Endorsement for the School.
In response to an inquiry as tp
his attitude towardvthe proposed
school bond issue, Mr. S. S.
McNinch, ex-mayQr of Charlotte
and one of the largest individual
property owners in the
Fort Mill school district, has
written a citizen of this place as
follows:
"Dear Sir: I certainly am in
favor of anything in the way of
school effort in your commnnity,
and will very gladly Day any ad:
ditional taxes which may be
j called for because of the proposed
new school building.
"Education of the people, is, I
[ believe, the first essential to good
citizenship, and in the wake of
! good citizenship follows religion,
| temperence, energy, and everything
else that makes life worth
while.
"I am sure our Fort Mill
friends cannot do a wiser thing
than enlarging, increasing, and
improving all their school efforts.
They cannot overdo this
proposition."
Mr. Koonce Dies Suddenly.
Mr. J. W. Koonce, a well
| known farmer of upper Fort
i Mill township died very suddenly
! last Wednesday of heart failure.
Up to a few minutes before his
death, Mr. Koonce had shown no
signs of illness and the announce
; ment 01 nisueatn proved asnock
to his many friends and ' acquaintances.
Accompanied by a
colored man Mr. Koonce had left
his home to spend the afternoon
fishing on Catawba river, a short
distance away. The two had
| gone several hundred yards in
| the direction of the river when
I the colored man, who was walkj
ing in front, addressed some
! remark to Mr. Koonce. The lat!
ter did not reply and the negro
! turned just in time to see him
! fall. Death resulted almost ini
stantly.
! Deceased was about 45 years
of age and has resided in this
township for a number of years.
He is survived by a wife.
The remains were interred in
Flint Hill cemetery Thursday.
Killing Near Pinerille.

i body of a negro woman by the
narae of Falls, who was shot and
instantly killed at 9:30 o'clock
Sunday night in a Jiouse about
11-2 miles from Pineville on the
farm of Mr. Sam Bailes. The
Falls woman's assailant, after
shooting her three times, escaped
and up to Tuesday morning had
not been apprehended.

it is said to have been the result
of a quarrel of some kind.
