Meacham, of Fort Mill, had ( collapsed. Against the wall, which had just been built, had been erected a gangway up which heavily loaded wheel- ' harrows of brick were, being pushed.

Mr. McLees is a speaker of much magnetiopi apd power and his sermons here were always much enjoyed. A number of the members of the local Woodmen lodge have been in vitod to, and will probably attend, the annual banquet of Walnut Camp, No. 4. at Rook Hill, this (Wednesday) evening. An elaborate program has been prepared and a highly enjoyable time is anticipated. Among the speakers will be Hon. J. H. Marion, of Chester, and Hon. W. T. Slaughter, of Hickory Grove, who is State manager of the order. Mr. A. M. Hadden wi)l make the address of welcome and Mr. J. E.

In speaking of the cotton situation a day or two ago. a loeal dealer stated that not over fifty bales were at present in the hands of the farmers of Foi t Mill and vicinity. One Gold Hill farmer has 110-odd bales, he said, and a resident of Pleasant Valley has half a dozep bales. There is no other cotton being held by our farmers, so far as j$ known here. ?.Mr. Z. T. CuilcR, of Flint Hill section, narrowly escaped drowning a few days ago while fording Sugar creek on his way home from Charlotte. The creek was greatly swollen as the result yf recent rains anp before Mr. Baiks had reached the channel of the stream his horse and buggy went under. With him was a little boy, the son of aneighI Iwr. Grasping the child with one hand, he succeeded after a hard struirvlo in the swift current in reaching the limb ; of an overhanging tree and in extricating the lad and himself from their i perilous position. The horse swam to j safety, but the buggy was wrecked. j ?A petition was circulated here I Saturday to be presented to the board of commissions of York county praying for the erection of a stone abutment at j the York side of Barber's bridge over Sugar creek. A like petition will be presented to the Lancaster board. Barber's bridge has been impassible since the big rains of last month and those familiar with the structure and the creek say it is useless to rebuild the j bridge entirely of wood. The trip to | and from Fort Mill from Barbersville and Harrison communities is now made by way of Bailea* bridge which calls for about 3 miles of extra travel. The petition circulated here was numerously signed. Chicago Firm Gets Bonds. The opening of the bids for the j $10,000 school bond issue authorized 1 some weeks ago, took place Tuesday at noon, according to advertisement. The successful bidders were S. A. Kean & Company, of Chicago, whose bid of $10,230.00 was the highest submitted. There were a number of other bids from firms in different sections of the country. A New Site For the School. ' Contrary to a decision reached in a meeting of the school board held ten days ago in which by a majority vote the Meacham lot facing the Baptist church was selected as a site for the new school building, the matter was again brought up in a meeting of the j board held Friday night and in the dis- j cussion for reconsideration of the board's . ^action it is stated that harmony was I conspicuous by its absence. The grounds upon which the motion to reconsider were made were that it had been dis- j covered that the proposed building, to- I gether with the cost of the lot and necessary excavations and sewerage, could not be had with the amount of money available. A vote was taken upon a change of location from the I Meacham lot to the White lot on Academy street, resulting in a tie ? 4 for ! and 4 against the change. The proposition was discussed at length and finally a motion to postpone action until later was adopted. The hoard was again in session Mon- | day night and when the matter was | brought up Mr. Meacham notified the j board that, in view of its former action ; in selecting his lot and for reasons ! which ho considered unjust to himself, i he would withdraw the proposition to sell his property. The board then took a vote, deciding upon the White lot and adjourned. Ti v l- e c i i o i iie loraounuay ocnooi convention. The second annual convention of the York Cointy Interdenominational Sunday School Association was held in the Presbyterian church at Yorkville on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Sixty accredited delegates were pres- ! ent, representing thirty-four schools in ' the nine townships of the county. Hesides the delegates a goodly congrega- j tion of visitors was present at each of the live sessions. The delegates in attendance from Fort Mill township were i as follows:^ Fort Mill (Methodist), Miss ! Aileen Harris and Prof. L. M. Hauk- i night; Fort Mill (Baptist), Supt. S. A. EppR and Rev. Edw. S. Reaves; Flint Hill?Miss Corrine Faris and Miss Minnie Garrison. The convention is an organization of , Sunday school workers, meeting to discuss plans and methods of work, with a | view of increasing the efficiency of the i Sunday schools. There is in no sense any compromise of denomination! teaching in this work, since the organization confines itself strictly to methods. To . ! aid in the work three Sunday school specialists were present as follows: i J. M. Way, Gen'l Secty. of the South , Carolina Sunday School Association; Miss Grace Vandiver, Elementary Supt. of the S. C. Sunday School Association, n-ri ? I.' Uaui.1. /'.? M O?-e ; U...U ??V<. *%. *.*. V I * " I I I cccty. (M ! the Y. P. C. IJ. of the A. R. P. Synod of the South. All of these made most, interesting and helpful talks on the dif- ! ferent phases of Sunday school organization and work. Their contribution to the meeting alone, would have made the convention abundantly worth while and very profitable to those Sunday < school workers who desire to keep abreast of the times and so increase j the efficiency of their schools. Rut. in addition to their work there were a number of interesting and valuable papers and speeches presented by leading workers in the local schools. Among these the address by Rev. Edw. S. ' Reaves 011 "What can a pastor do to improve the teaching in his Sunday school?" is worthy of special mention. By common consent it was recognized as one of the very best numbers on the program. To anyone who will attend one of these meetings or come in contact with progressive workers, it must he apparent. that there is an earnest and effectHb , ^ * i ual movement on foot to improve the 1 efficiency of the Sunday sclmol and that those who do not catch step with the onward movement are going to be left far behind. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows! President, W. W. Boyce; V.-President, S. A. Epps; Secty. and Troas., Miss Mainie Steele; Executive Committe, one from each township. W. H. Crook representing Fort Mill; Supt. of Adult Dept., E. W. Hall; Supt. of Teacher Training, W. W. Lewis; Supt. of Home Dept., Miss I n#lsv nirti- Snnt nf f'r,i Minnie Garrison. THROUGHOUT YORK COUNTY. Capt. Withers Adickes, a prominent and highly esteemed citizen and merchant of Yopkville, died Saturday night at 11 o'clock, at his residence after a painful illness of six weeks, from cancer of the stomach. Funeral services ; were held at 6 o'clock Sunday afternoon j at the First Presbyterian church, of 1 which he was a deacon. ( The Southern railway is extending ! ^ the length of the freight depot in Rock j ) Hill, but according to the correspondent j < of the State, nothing has yet been done < in the matter of building a new pas- , senger station as ordered by the railroad commission.

I J A meeting of Catawba camp of Confederate veterans at Rock Hill has been called for the 16th to make arrangements for attending the reunion at Chester the 23rd to 25th. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Mary Walker, of Yorkville to Mr. John Porter Hollis, of Rock Hill, which will take place on the morn ing of the 22nd. Mr. Mollis is a member of the Legislature. Passengers on the east-bound train on the Charleston division Thursday night were considerably shaken up and excited over an accident at Fishing creek trestle, between Rock Hill and Yorkville. A car of meat consigned to a merchant at Rock Hill had been at- * tached to the train at some point up the road in order to get it, there quickly and this car jumped the track at the point named. After bumping along on the ties for some distance the " car turned over and rolled down the t embankment. Fortunately it broke f loose from the rest of the train. It j * was at this |>oint that a very serious i r wreck occurred three years or more ago ! 5 in which a number of people were in- j I jured. 11 _? ? |( ? Mrs. E. \V.
