Mill team let the Lancaster boys down
to the tune of 9 to 2. A large crowd
witnessed the game.

Graded School Site Selected.
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.
