After deliberating for several weeks, the board of trustees of the Fort Mill Graded school on Friday evening selected a site for the new $10,000 school building, bonds for which are to be issued within a few days. The school will be located on the lot at the corner of Monroe White and Confederate streets, which was bought from Mr. W. B. Meacham at a cost of $1,200. The lot contuins approximately two acres and is well suited for school purposes. The school building, it is understood, will face the Baptist church property. .Just when work will begin on the | new building is not known at this time, ! but. with the sal?> of th.? tuirwlu ?r> ! Juno 15th, it may be expected that the ' building will be under way not later ; than the 1st of the following month, 1 and is is hoped to have it completed by ' the opening date of the 1909-'10 school ; term.

Captured a Would-be Burglar. frank Moore, colored, was committed to York jail the past week by Magistrate McElhaney upou the charge of attempted burglary. Mr. Tom Earle lives in the Millfort village ar.d it was his home which Moore is charged with having attempted to burglarize. At about 9:1>0 o'clock Tuesday night Mr. Knrle, who had retired for the night, heard a noise as if someone was trying to open a window. He got up to make an investigation. Next the noise came from .under the house and sounded as if someone had bumped against the floor. Mr. Earle got a lamp and went into the yard, where he found tracks that were made ~ . I?*-- .^* .' ? by bare feat. Ho continued the search , and a short distance from the house found a pair of shoes which he aup' posed the would-be burglar bad taken ; off before attempting tQ enter the 1 house. Mr. Earle knew in reason that ' the owner of the shoes would return 1 for them and he went to the house and 1 procured a gun and lay in wait a short distance from the spot where the shoes were found. It was about 12:30o'clock when a figure approached low to the ground and when within a few feet of the ahoes Mr. Earle commanded it to | halt, at the same time firing his gun into the air. Up went the hands of the party and Mr, Earle called for assistance, several neighbors responding promptly. It was found that the owner of the shoes was none other than Frank Moore and Mr, Earle and his assistants lost no time in- getting the negro to the lock-up. On the follow- | ing day Magistrate McElhaney gave j ! Moore u preliminary trial und the i negro was committed to York jail to ! j await trial at the next term of court, i I Mr. Earle was highly praised for his clever piece of detective work which ; resulted in the capture of the would-be burglar. Tlie Fort Mil! Savings Bank. ?-? Notwithstanding the fact that there are a half dozen or m.ore banks in York connty which are patronized more ; or less by citizens of the territory from j which the Savings Bank of Fort Mill | must depend largely for its business, it j is a fact that the local bank is today j doing more business than at any time since it was organized 20 years ago. This is due to the conservative management of the bank and the absolute confidence of the depositors in the judgment with which all matters entrusted to its care will be handled. Neither the burglary of several thousand dollars of the bank's funds which occurred in tjie fall of 1902, panics or business depression has embarrassed the bank or given its officers one moment's fear of inability to meet all its obligations. The continued success of the hank is due in large measure to the abjlity and discretion of the cashier, Mr. W. B. Meacbam, assisted by an able board of directors, at present composed of the following gentleman: Leroy Springs, W. B. Meacham, J. L. Spratt, T. S. Kirkpatrick, J. B. Mack, A. O. Jones. Capu S. E. White is presi- i dent and Dr. T. S. Kirkpatrick vice- i president. Pleasant Valleyites Saw Taft. The Pleasant Valley correspondent of the Lancaster News gives his impressions of Mr. Taft in these words: "Quite a large number of our people j went to Charlotte last week to help I celebrate the Mecklenburg myth, but ' more especially to see Taft. Most of them were greatly pleased with Mr. Taft, and some go so far as to predict that he will carry Charlotte in the next general election. I am sorry to report that one of our citizens even bought a j Taft button. Mr. Taft is unquestion- j ably a genial, affable gentleman or i I else he would never have been Preai! dent, but see no occasion for Southern ' | Democrats to 'slop' over to him in any { such fashion. No intelligent citizen who knows auyUuug nhuuc the princa, pies of the Democratic and Republican I Earties, is likelv to be changed from a lemocrat to a Republican by a pleasant ! smile and a 'possum appetite. While j Mr. Taft was smiling so benignantly j upon Charlotte and the 'myth' the ' Congress which he promised would ' ; give the American people downward : I tariff revision, was raising the coat of j ! living among the common people. So j far as the consumers are concerned, , his pleasant smile is the smile of a . 1 Judas Iscariot, and of course his 'nos- I i sum appetite is only an affected role." 1 Proper Discrimination. Medicine manufacturer* throughout thecountry I ! are about to t>egin an expensive advertising 1 ! campaign with the note purpose of influencing the ' public to buy their goods from reputable drug ' ; uteres. Many people thoughtlessly suppose that 1 if they get a bottle of Smith's Colic Cure with the ! name spelled correctly anil the regular wrapper : and the right color of medicine that they are get ting lull value Tor their money when in reality they arc getting an article that eo far aa effects are concerned the manufacturer would not recognize an the same modicine manufactured yearn before. The manufacturer* are feelinit the diaustroua effects of this careleaa buying in hats to the reputation of their goods and will use every effort to remedy conditions. Medicines are more or less subject to deterioration the same aa many other classes of merchandise. The only difference ia that in the former case 99 men out of 100 can't detect it- while in the 1 i latter 999 out of 1,000 can detect it. 1 Ten years experience and study has put us in ' position to care for you and reduce your chances , tb a minimum through judicious buying and h nowing how to keep goods under proper conili. tions. And it is far from wisdom and economy in modicine to let a cut of five or ten cents in price influence yon when the value of the whole purchase may be jeopardized. Get the beet. You have to buy it on faith. The question ia where to I put your faith. Ardrey's. TAKE OXIDINE. I ' The great Chill Cure? the kind that is used in the malarial districts of the great Southwest.
