critical times by both teams. The
batteries were Smith and McCants
for Winnsboro and Price
and Ferguson for Fort Mill. The
scoond game was started off

third inning, however, ^Pitcher
Price's arm failed him and with
the several others who occupied
the box during the game Winnsboro
batted the sphere all over
the lot and won the game hands

School Goes to Meacham Lot.
I .
In response to a petition signed
by a majority of the voters of
the town, the board of trustees
of the graded school were in session
Friday evening to again consider
the matter of a location for
the new school building. The
petitioners were anxious that the
school be ,'ocated elsewhere than
on the Academy street lot, as
last cho3en by the board, and in
the petition asked the trustees
to purchase the Meacham lot on
Monroe White and Confederate
streets. This lot, it will be re
raembered, was the first site selected
by the board, but was
afterward rejected for minor
reasons. There was little discussion
on the subject Friday
evening, as it was apparent that
a large majority of the patrons
of the school cNected to the
Academy street lot, and without
opposition the Meacham lot was
chosen once again and for all.
A proposition from A. A.
Bradford to supervise the erection
of the new school for the
sum of $400 was accepted, and
Mr. Bradford was instructed to
begin the work of excavating
for the foundations as soon as
the necessary measurements
could be made.
The people seem well satisfied
with the location of the school
and doubly gratified that actual
worrc on tne Duuaing is to Degin
within a few days.
Presbyterian Congregational Meeting.
At a congregational meeting of
the Presbyterian church, held
last Sunday, the question of selling
the church property to the
trustees of the graded school wvs
not acted on, as the announcement
was made that the trustees
had bought another lot. It had
been reported that the property
could not be sold as the land was
a provisional gift from Gapt. S.
E. White, and when it ceased to
be used for church purposes
would revert to Gapt. White.
The fact was brought out that
the lot was purchased in fee
simple from Capt. White, and
that the church held an unencumbered
title to it
A resolution was introduced by
Dr. T. S. Kirkpatrick that the
church raise $750 with which to
re-roof and purchase new pews
for the building. About $225 of
this amount was raised before
the meeting adjourned, and Mrs.
A. O. Jones, Mrs. J. H. McMurray
and Mrs. T. S. Kirkpatrick
were appointed a Committee to
raise the amount These ladies
will make a canvass of the congregation
at once and little
trouble is anticipated in securing
the money necessary to assure
the contemplated improvements.
The Passing of a Good Citizen.
The brief announcement in
The Times last week of the death
of Mr. J. Q. Cousart at his home
in Walterboro last Wednesday,
from the effects of burns he recently
received in an accident at
the Walterboro cotton mill,
brought sonrow to many in this
community who had known Mr.
Cousart during the many years
he lived in Pleasant Valley and
later in Fort Mill. He was a
good citizen and spent the G2
years of his life in an upright,
God-fearing manner, and was a
man or more tnan ordinary intelligence
and information, having
secured a good education in
early life and constantly thereafter
being an observant man
and a reader of good literature.
Years ago Mr. Cousart was
treasurer of Lancaster county.
Mr. Cousart was twice married,
his first wife being a daughter of
the late Squire D. C. Wolfe, of
Pleasant Valley. Six children of
this marriage survive?Miss Viola
Cousart, of Jacksonville, who
is connected with The TimesUnion;
Earl, a soldier in the
Philippines; White, of Pleasant
Valley; Stokes, of Pittsburg, Pa;
Mrs. J. O. Hall, of Pleasant Valley,
and Mrs. Geo. Butler. Mr.
Cousart was married the second
time to Miss Rosa Rodgers, of
Fort Mill, who, with a number
of small children, survive him.
He was a member of the local
camp of the Woodmen of the
World, in which he carried a
$2,000 insnrance policy, besides
a small amount of industrial insurance.
The body arrived from Walterboro
on the northbound train
Thursday morning and the burial
was at Pleasant Hill cemetery,
in Pleasant Valley. The service*
at the grave were conducted by
Rev. Messrs. Hafnerand Bethea.
and the pallbearers were T. A.
Mills, Chas. Eason, Lestei
Wright, B. S. Broom, A. R.
McElhaney and W. A. Roach.
Mrs. Harris Entertains.
Mrs. Fred Harris delightfully
entertained quite a number ol
young people Monday evening
complimentary to ncr guests,
Misses Ixiuise Taylor, of Lancas
tcr; Edna Harris, of Pleasant
Valley, and Mr. J. E. Taylor, ol
, Green Bay, Va. Mrs EffteThomp

J sisted the hostess in receiving
the guests in the hall, where red
white and blue flags and bell:

June Rainfall 7.04 Irenes.
I !
The regular monthly meteoro- i
! logical report for June, issued by I
the weather bureau at Charlotte, j
i shows some interesting facts! |
about the weather for last month, j i
j Perhaps the most significant!
i feature was the large precipita- j
1; tion. The total rain was 7.04
! inches, more than twice the!
j amount of the same month last
j year. More rain fell last month
than has fallen during the same i
I month since 1889, with the single |
{ exception of 1900, when the preI
cipitation was about the same. j
! The temperature has been above |
1 the normal for .Tune, but the bu- |
: reau finds that the people have I
j experienced as high as 102 de- f
' grees in June. However, the |
average is 77 degrees. June 25th
was the hottest day, registering
94 degrees, and June 19th was
lowest, registering 63 degrees.
June saw an unusual number
of rainy days and an unusual I
uumber of clear days. Only 3
perfectly clear days in the whole
month of June and 22 partly
cloudy and 5 cloudy days. There iwere
14 rair.y days. Also there
were 13 days in which thunder- '
I storms occurred, which is nearly ;
j every other day in the month.
! The prevailing direction of the |
wind was southwest.
As a whole the month of June I
has been full of features on ac- f
! count of the peculiar weather \
! tJiat has existed. The most strik- ?
! ing has been the excessive rain
J fall, which is responsible for the .
grassy condition of the crops.
Important Meeting of Council.
A called meeting of city coun- '
cil was held in the offices of j
Alderman J. L. Spratt Friday j
evening at which considerable i
i business of importance was trans- j
! acted. The first matter brought
up for consideration was a
resolution that council purchase ;
a carload of cement to extend the
1 concrete paving put down on
i Main street some months ago, the
Eroposition being that the city |
ear two-thirds of the expense
of laying the paving, the property
owners to pay the remaining
third. The resolution, after
some discussion, was acted upon
favorably and the mayor was di- *
rected to place the order for the cement
at once. Council decided | ,
| to start the paving on Clebourn J
street near the residence of Mr. 1
R. F. Grier and continue the
work to the intersection of Main .
street, thence out Booth street as .
far as possible. So much of the ,
paving as is to be laid on Booth ,
street at present will be put,
down on the west sidewalk only. '
The work is to begin as sopn as ,
the cement arrives and the other ;
j material can be assembled. j
Three new electric streetlights ,
were ordered installed one on ^
Booth street near the residence
of B. W. Bradford, one on Monroe
White street near the resi- ]
dence of A. R. McElhaney and 1
one on White street near the resi- '
dence of C. S. Link. !
In view of the fact that thej
present contract with the Electric
Company for lighting the
i streets will expire within a short
j time, the question of renewing
I the contract at a lower rate was
1 J * l * i . i i . -
I aiscusseu at lengtn, out action on '
i the matter was deferred to the '
next regular monthly meeting of
i council.

Preparing For First's Encampment.
Unusual interest is manifest
in local military circles over the
forthcoming encampment of the
; First regiment, to be held in
Greenville from Tuesday, July ;
II 27, to Thursday, August-5, and
11 Capt. T. B Spratt and the other
officers of the Fort Mill Light
. Infantry are hopeful of taking;'
'; practically the entire membership
[ | of the company on the encamp- j
'! ment. It is thought that I
: the Greenville encampment will
* j prove one of the most profitable
r i held since the organization of the
local company, nine years ago,
and the work doubtless will he I
*1 entered with more enthusiasm
than would have marked the mo,
bilizing of the regiment had the*
decision been reached to hold the
I encampment in the lower part of
the State. Great preparations
I are being made in Greenville for
L the reception of the regiment and
' I everything points to a pleasant)
and profitable stay of ten days
" j in the Mountain City for the
P J soldier boys.
The First regiment, easily the
best drilled and most efficient of
"; the State's three regiments, is

Mr. S. S. Broom, an aged and
well known citizen of the town,

took place Wednesday morning
and the burial was made in the
Low n cemetery.
Mr. Broom was about 05 years
of age and a native of Union

Rock Hill Treasurer Short
A shortage is said to exist in
the ottice of City treasurer C. S.
May, of Rock Hill, who for s
number of years has been in the
employ of the city. This much
is known, not because anyone
"unearthed" it, hut because Mr.
May himself went to his bondsmen
and so stat d. He gives the
amount as $6,100, and the amount
was made good, not by Mr. May's
bondsmen, but by himself. After
Mr. May's statement to his bondsmen
there were many rumor?
afloat, hut they were merely
rumors, it is saio tnac an examination
of the treasurer's
books is beinpr made by th(
American Audit Company, anr
it is expected that this reporl
will be made public, in a few
days.
