McGregor have rented the Watson cottage on Clebourn street and will move there in a short time. Mr. Ernest Whitesell, who has for a year or more been assistant freight agent at the Southern freight depot, has "gone on the r^ad" and is at present engaged as flagman, with headquarters in ( olunibia. Invitations have been issued by Mr. and Mrs. John R. Porter to the marriage of their daughter, Ola Hart, to Mr. V. J. Brawley. The wedding is to take place at 7 o'clock on the, t:. ming of September 22 at the bride's home in Steele Creek, N. C. Certificates for the second series of stock in the Perpetual Building and Loan Association will be issued from the ofhee of the secretary, J. L. Spratt, on ni xt Salurday. There is every !, inuication that the second series will comprize almost as many shares as did the first. vviuicjr uupv^i viO\jl V^hjiu UUIdon has been appointed by < ioverr.or Ansel as one of the delegates from this State to the | Sjutnern Appalachian Good Roads Congress, which will be h eld in Asheville, N. C., October 5, 6 and 7. The governor and Commissioner Watson will attend the convention. Contractor W. A. McKinney !%v ^ informs The Times that the S ? ^handsome new home which he is erecting for Mr. S. E. Bailes in Pkasant Valley is nearing com-' pletion, and that within a few : days he will begin the erection of s nice residence for Mr. and M rs. R. M. Bryant, in that section. Mr. McKinney will also | remodel the home of Mr. J. J. 7-rules, in Pleasant Valley, in the ! near future. Tom McAteer, white, who is employed at the Millfort mill, was arrested by Officer Potts Sutuniay night on the charge of retailing. The officer is said to have suspected McAteer of dealing in the spirits and by a clever bit of scheming Saturday caught h"s man in the act of delivering the goods. Upon submitting to theVv.arge, a fine of $25 was imposed and McAteer raised the money after considerable trouble. r , In accordance with law, the books of registration for the anproaching municipal election will be opened at the Savings Bank on Friday, October 1, and remain open until ten days before the election. The books are in the care of Mr. W. B. Meachnm, who was appointed supervisor of registration at a recent meeting of the council. The municipal election will be held the second Tuesday in January, 1910. It seems now that the final chapter in the sale of the local .school bonds has been reached. Mr. Meacham, the secretary of the sjhool board, is in receipt of a letter from the Chicago brokers ; ; > whf m the bonds were awarded hi which it is stated that the bonds are now in preparation j aiid that they will be forwarded for the signatures of the memlid's of the board just as soon as the printers turn them over. . .... g ; From this it would seem that the money for the bonds should be in hand within the next ten days ! or two w^eks, at most. Through an advertisemnt placed I in The Times two weeks ago, a Fort Mill concern is in receipt of an inquiry from the far-off State of Missouri. The inquirer is not one of the "show me" kind, j either, and that Times advestising brings results is again demonstrated. ' Rpofi'nninff tr?Hav flVo/1nocf1'i\n i ^w0.w.....0 vx/UUJ X '? VV*HVUU?J / the York Sunday School Association will hold conventions in the several townships of the county. The convention for this township will be held in Fort Mill on next Tuesday, the 28th, at which two of the State workers, Miss Grace ; Vandiver and Mr. J. M. Way, will be present. Automobile dealers throughout I the State are calling attention to the fact that numerous owners of such machines are laying themselves liable tp fines by: neglect to attach to their ma-' chines plain,!properly designed; name boards. In many communities the motorists content themselves with the use of metal numericals screwed to the back of the machine, with, per-j haps, one initial for the county; of registration. This is not a ! compliance with the law. It is not improbable that the legis-1 lature will this winter, be asked , to provide for State registration. Fell and Broke Her Arm. Mrs. Nancy Patterson, an aged lady of Pleasant Valley, |1 was the victim Thursday of a very painful injury. She had i gone into the back yard of her ! home to carry in a churn and in someway stumbled and fell. Mrs. : Patterson is very stout and in the fall her entire weight was thrown j1 on her right arm, resulting in the breaking of this member at a point just above the wrist. Dr. ; R. M. Potts was hastily sum- ( moned and dressed the broken i limb and at last reports the con- j1 dition of the injured was favor- i able. It was only a few years ago that MrS: Patterson suffered a broken leg in an accidental fall. | Well Known Minister Dead. Rev. W. S. Rone, presiding elder of the Warrenton district of j: the North Carolina conference ' 1 of the M. E. church, South, died i Sunday afternoon in Richmond. < Va. He had been ill for about j! ten days. The remains were ; i brought to Pineville, the old home of the deceased, Monday | afternoon and taken to the home I of Mrs. R. C. Bell. From there, on Tuesday, the remains were i taken to Harrison church, 5 miles east of Fort Mill, for burial. 11 Rev. Mr. Rone was well known to a number of people in this vi- i < cinity. He had been a member of the North Carolina coference j for many years, and made his home at Littleton. Good Rains Help Cotton Crop. The drought that has pre- ' vailed in this section since about August 20 came to an end on last Wednesday when a refreshing shower fell and on Thursday there was a good, soaking rain. The drought has seriously damaged the late corn and pea crops ana it is estimated that , the cotton yield will be about 25 i percent, less than it would have J been had conditions continued as they were previous to the I drought, but it is believed by | some that as a result of the j rains that fell on Thursday and : the day previous there will bean average increase of one bale of cotton to every plow operated in ; the county as compared to the : yield had there been no rain, by reason of the checking of the premature opening of bolls and the development of what top i crop that still remains on the t stalks. Local Militia at King's Mountain. That the Fort Mill Light Infantry will be one of the companies of State militia to take1 part in the dedication of the King's Mountain monument on October 7 seems now almost a certainty. Capt. Spratt a few days ago received notice from General Boyd that the Fort Mill company was among those that had been selected to attend the .11! 1 * . I ueiucauon ana expressed the hope that a full company would be present. General Boyd also stated that the officers and enlisted men of all companies attending the exercises would be allowed three days pay and subsistence. The unveiling of the King's Mountain monument will be a big occasion. Thousands of people from all sections of North and South Carolina will be present and addresses will be made by prominent speakers. The presence of battalions of soldiers from this State. North Carolina and Tennesse will be a distinct feature of the ceremonies. The best price paid for cotton on the local market yesterday was 12 1-2 cents. Seed sold for '60 cents. I . i ' ' " I Wanted - A Steam Laundry. An enterprise which is urgently needed in Fort Mill and from which handsome returns (i could be secured by the invest- | < ment of a modest sum is a steam i laundry. There is already here 1 and now unused a building which, with some slight alterations, ! would answer every purpose of such an enterprise. This build- j i ing is for rent and is near a free- ' flowing spring that would furnish ( at all times a sufficient amount ii of clear, pure water to answer 1 the needs of the laundry. The , i building is not only well adapted j for such a purpose, but is situ- j ated near a branch which would 1 insure the free passage to the i river of all sewage from the laundry. This is an important. sanitary consideration in the es-! tablishment of such an enter-1 prise and one not often afforded . by places without waterworks , and sewerage. The building also . possesses the added advantage of being somewhat isolated from : A. U - -1 - 1 ? ' uie residential section 01 tnecity, hut is easily accessible to all upon j whom the business would depend for patYonage. And there isn't j the slightest doubt that a steam laundry would be well patronized , in Fort Mill from the inception | of the enterprise. The work is here to be done and the good housewives and others of the city ( are eagerly awaiting the oppor tunity to patronize a laundry that . could be depended upon to do good work at reasonable prices. Complaints are heard on every side of the carelessness and unreliability of the community's colored "wash ladies." Often 1 many of them seriously embar- c rass the families which are depending upon them to do the * weekly wash by either failing to c "come for the clothes" promptly iv if at all or returning the clothes on time. And the quality of the Jwork done by some of these esteemed "wash ladies" is so in- i ^ ferior as to cause serious incon- c venience. Here is an oppor- ^ tunity for a paying enterprise if ' conducted by one who under- v stands the laundry business. j, Graded School Matters. ! iBy Supt. Bauknijfht. The local school has opened up j with fair promises for a success- | ful year. The enrollment is by | a far the largest it has ever been \ for the first month. The high ' (_ school should be a special pride to the community. There are r several more that we know of to ( come and we already have near- t ly 50. This is very nearly twice j the number of high school pupils for a town of this size. , The course of studv jmnrnnr>hn? ! fairly well a real high school curriculum, and under ordinary cir-, cumstances. we cannot see why j the work should not be a great success. We have the children . in the school who can and will do the work, if the teachers and \\ parents will do their part. Parents want their children to s learn and to be promoted at the 1 close of the school year; but have | you noticed how indifferent some j" are in those things which they [, must do to help in the child's f progress? Do you know that I: there were children in the high \ school last year who did not have |' books, did nothing, and yet ex- ( pected to "go up?" Of course ^ some had their books and failed. That is all right; if they study 1 they will make it yet. If they 1 have no books, they will never : make it. We had to put out two or three * books that were not on the State .N list, and we added a few high ;1 school books; and of course those ,'s who were promoted had to get books for the next grade, but we j are not changing books. We are i just requiring children to get1 books. We cannot use a child unless he has supplies; so we shall have to ask all patrons to see to it that their children are SUUnlied with pvprvlinntat nrmo I know that it, costs something, ] but it is worth far more to the ! child. We cannot do the best j unless we do it right. Please look at your eighth grade j boy's book bag and see whether : there is a grammar, a latin, a j composition, a history, a reader, : an algebra and an arithmetic i there. Look about the ninth grade follow. Are his rhetoric, ! latin, algebra, geometry and j college requirements there? See j about the other children and let j us get everything right for good, : substantial work. IT you want { to consult us about some plan to get the children to study more at I home, why just call on us and ' we shall be glad to confer with ! you. There are boys and girls in 1 reach of the Fort Mill school who have certificates from some other school, but could spend one or two years very profitably in this school, and are doing nothing. Why do people neglect so great an opportunity? The News and Courier says that 30 owners of blind tigers in Charleston have paid the sum of $1,500 into the city treasury since the first day of September. They wore "technically arrested" by the police, but preferred to forfeit tin- usual bail of $50 rather than face the charges of having violated the dispensary . ordinance. j \ -? Mrs. J. T. Howard Dead. Mrs. J. T. Howard, mother of Mr. W. H. Howard, of Fort Mill, died Saturday at her home in Chester after an illness of many months ot' dropsy and complications. The burial was made in FiVergreen cemetery, Chester, Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Howard was well known in Fort Mill, having- resided here with her husband for a number )f years. She was about 00 /ears of age and besides Mr. W. II. Howard is survived by wo other sons, a husband and [our daughters. She had many friends in this place who will earn of her death with deep egret. Open to All Confederates. The board of commissioners of he State Confederate Infirmary lave made public a resolution idodted recently that on October L "the home will be thrown open o any Confederate veteran who :omcs from his county pension joard with blank application jroperly filled iu>. regardless of he minimum of two from each :ounty as heretofore. Blank "orins will be furnished pension >oards or old soldiers on applicaion to David Card well, chairman >f the board, Columbia." There are now about fifty men n the home. There is room for 14 more. Broom Must Face Rape Charge. Cecil Broom, the young busiicss man of Waxhaw. N. C., barged with having criminally issaulted a young lady of the fan Wyck section of Lancaster ounty some weeks ago, and who vas recently captured in Atnnta and taken back to Lanc&ser, had a preliminary hearing ust Wednesday afternoon before Magistrate Caskey in Lancaster ourt house. Several witnesses vere examined, among them teing the young lady herself, vho, in her testimony, stated hat the defendant with a pistol breed her to get out of the bugry in which they were riding and fo into some woods near Helair, ind there accomplished his pur>ose. Magistrate Caskey withleld his decision until Saturday ? i? ? ' .j. l*--i Kuuii wucii iic announceu hat Broom would be held for rial in the circuit court. When the case came up Wedlesday afternoon soire two or hree hundred people were in he court house, but before the nvestigation began all were exluded except relatives and witicsses. The Hurrah Girl. The "hurrahgirl" is the latest. )f course you may not know her, >ut you have seen her. She reates a furor wherever she roes, and she goes almost everyvhere. She leads in conversaion and talks loudly for effect, n the drug store she calls for hree or four kinds of syrup in lcr soda and in the dry goods fore s\ie gossips with the clerk ind begs, aye, demands, a score >f samples. In church she makes i show of declining the seat tenlered her hy some dude, but ;eats herself with alacrity, just he same. She can talk upon nost any subject, particularly on nasculine themes, and attends he baseball games regularly. On he street she rushes along pell noil, jj:reetin>? her acquaintances 'oeiferously, and is proud of the ittention she attracts.
