WHAT HE SEES
AND HEAB->S
?Born Friday to Mr. aAd Mrs. V. B.
Blankenahip, a son.
? ine selection ol a site for the new
school building is still "hanging fire."
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. Meacham, J. H.
McMurray, J. L. Spratt and L. J. 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. Parks are in Charleston this
week attending the annual competitive
rifle shoot from which a team will be
selected to represent the State . in the
national rifle contest to be held at
* Camp Perry, Ohio, next month. Messrs.
SDratt and Parks will rntAirn homo
. v Saturday ?r Sunday.
?The Southern Railway has gotten
out a very attractive guide book for
the Confederate reunion to be held in
Memphis, Tenn., next month. 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. White,
also a foreman for the power company,
was a visitor Sunday at the home of
his parer's in the township.
?The Times is informed that not
one of tho foreigners who reached
Grattan some weeks ago from New
York are now at that place. 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. K'tibrell, 2
milea south of town. The funeral was

After which the bur ial was made in the*
city cemetery.
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. >

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. .

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. Meacham, cashier of the \
; Savings bank, may attend the con- j
, vention at Wrightavilie Beach as a
representative of his bank.
