A meeting of the board of trustees for further consideration of the question was to have been held Monday, but was postponed on account of the absence of some of the members. ?Messrs. W. B.

MasBey left Monday evening for Cbarlesi ion, where as delegates from Electra Ledge No. 87, they will attend the annual meeting of the grand lodge Knights of Pythias of the State. They will remain in Charleston probably until Thursday night. ?The price of cotton has been on the I upward*'move for some days and those who have the fleecy staple on hand at this time could get near 11 cents for it on the local market. Unfortunately, however, most of our farmers have Bold their cotton, taking for it considerably lens than the present market price. ?Capt. T. B. Spratt and First Lieut. IS. W.

It irindeed a valuable guide to those wishin to visit Memphis on that occasion. Everything has been arranged for a grand affair and those who go from this section may expect a good time. t? Next Sunday, May 30, is "Memorial Day" and is a holiday with government employes throughout the country, However, since the holiday falls on Sunday, it will not be observed until Monday. Patrons of the local postoffice will, therefore, take notice that the office will remain open only as on Sunday and that no mail will go out on the several rural routes on Monday. ? It will be gratifi'ing news to his many friends here to know that Mr. Jas. T. McGregor is to again make Fort Mill his home. Mr. McGregsr was some days ago elected to the superintendency of the two mills here Aid is expected to arrive from Walterboro during tho week to assume his duties as such. i^^^--MessrB. B. H~ and John Massey, timekeeper, respectively, HB/iern Power company, spent their parents here. The roWBuction force of which Mr. Massey is inwharge is engaged in erecting a transmission tower line from Monroe to Albermarlc. Mr. Jno.

It is said that the men appeared to be well satisfied for the first week or so with the work at the brick plant, but as soon as the first payday came around almost the entire lot boarded the trains lor mc ivortn. i ne working or immigrants at Grattan has up to this time proved a failure. ?A large crowd from Fort Mill and the surrounding country were in Charlotte the 20th. The day was very disagreeable for the celebration, but as moat of our people went to the city for the express purpose of seeing Mr. Taft and succeeded, there were few regrets heard by those who were there. In spite of the rain the parade down South Tryon street was said to have eclipsed anything of the kind ever held in this Bection of the country. Few of our people were able to obsain entrance (o the auditorium from which the presdont spoke in the afternoon. ?The public in general will be deeply interested to learn that a movement, which seems to be growing in favor, is on foot to sell the church property of the local Presbyterian church to the school board and erect a handsome church building in the heart of the town. Quite a number of the members of the church have for years expressed themselves as desirous of a new location and moije commodious edi- | fice and these, together with others who now see the need of improvements, are cxertmg tnemseivea to tmng about the sale of the premises. As yet no offer of the property has been olfically made but in all probability a meeting of the church officers will be held and a proposition made to tho school hoard before the latter takes final action in he matter of selecting a site for the new school building. Mr. S. J. Kimbrell Dead. Mr. S. J. Kimbrell, one of the oldest 1 esidenta of the township, passed away Saturday afternoon at 6 o'clock at the home of bia aon Mr. D. G.

Mr. Kimbrell had been in feeble health for several months and his death was due to a general breakdown incident to old age. He was in his 84th year, and had been a 'farmer of the township for the greater part of th&e years. He was a man who stood high in the community, being highly esteemed by all who knew him. The following sons survive: W. J., D. G. and E. W. Kimbrell, of Fort Mill; A. R. i Kimbrell. of Rock Hill, and W. M. > j Kimbrell, of Columbia. A large crowd of sorrowing rdatives . and friends were present at the funeral ' < service. Graded School Promotions. The names given below are the pupils of the three high grades. We give , the list so that the pupib will know what grade they will be m and what I text books to provide. If an asterisk 1 (*) is beside a name it means that that ( pupil has one or more studies in a lower j grade, or has some work to make up. < Such pupils are urged to see their J teacher at once and see what is to be } done. 1 It is thoroughly understood that a pupil's name remains in the same grade * until he or she stands all examinations satisfactorily. To make a grade means \ to attend school nine months, make a satisfactory daily average, and stand J all required examinations. We are j anxious to promote pupils and have 1 large numbers in the high grades, but I we must place the pupil where he will 1 be benefited most. . Tenth grade?L.

First Regiment Goes to Greenville. j ] Tne First regiment will go into camp at Greenville for ten days, beginning July 25. This announcement was maae aaiuraay Dy Lol. w. W. Low is after he had decided that the inducements offered by Qrepnville for the encampment were more attractive and advantageous than those of Spartanburg, the other city desirous of securing the encampment. Col. Lewis went to Greenville a few days ago and inspected the camp site and he considers it ideal for the work he has outlined for the regiment during the encampment. The officers of the Fort Mill Light Infantry are delighted over the selection of Greenville as the encampment city. Not the least consideration in selecting the manoeuvre grounds, as one of the officers pointed out yesterday to?he Times reporter, is the necessity of an abundance of pure, fresh water. Greenville is fortunate in securing her water supply from Faris Mountain and it is as pure and potable | as any city in the State can boast. The camp of the First regiment is to be generously supplied with city water and there is no danger of the soldier boys being subjected to an inadequate and unwholesome water bupply as was experienced by the regiment w hen the annual encampment was held in another section of the State some years ago. The Fort Mill company is one of the best drilled units of the regiments and the company officers are confident that an unusually large percentage of the enlisted strength of the company will go on the encampment. Capt. T. B. Spratt ia a thorough military man a?d is ably assisted in promoting the efficiency of the company by Lieuts. S. W. Parks and G. C. Epps. State Bankers' Convention. Secretary Giles L. Wilson has announced the South Carolina Bankers' Association, of which the Fort Mill Savings bank is a member, will hold its ninth convention on June 16, 17 and 18, at Seashore hotel, Wrightsville Beach, N. C. Secretary Wilson says: "This is the first time our association has i ever gone outside the State for a convention place, but we are firmly convinced we have made no mistake and feel sure we will have the largest, 1 pleasantest and most successful con- | vention in our history. Plans are j already on foot to bring about and nc- ! complish much desired results." During the hey-day of the Fort Mill . academy, 20-odd years ago, when stu- | dents were in attendance upon the institution from all parts of the State, ! Secretary Wilson was one of the hun- | dreds of young men who came to Fort Mill to receive his preparatory educa- I tion. He is a successful buaine?Rmnn, , being State bank examiner as well as I secretary of the bankers' association, | and having considerable property in- i terests in Spartanhurg, his home town. I Mr. Wilson is remembered as a student j here by a number of the older cicizena. Mr. W. B.
