After several years' of effort,
the Fort Mill football eleven won
its first game Saturday afternoon
in a contest with Prof.
J. Harvey YVitherspoon's Yorkville
team on the local gridiron.
The score was 10 to 0 in favor of
the Fort Mill boys.
The public roads in this section
' have been heavy for the last few
days from the recent ru ns, hut
in better condition than they
have heretofore been at this
season', thanks to the splendid
work which has been done on
them under the new road law.
The Christmas holidays will be :
observed at both the upper and :
lower mills of the Fort Mill Mfg.
Co. by suspension of work this
afternoon. Work will be re
sumed at the mills Monday

will not be observed by this

morning of the 4th of January.
Interesting exercises are to be
held at i lie school this morning
and Superintendent Bauknight
cauiim:< a a>uum iiivuauun U)
the friends and patrons of the
school to be present.
Officers of Fort Mill lodge No.
60, 1. O. O. F., for the year 1910
were elected last Wednesday
night as follows: W. A. Roach,
noble grand; C. F. Rogers, Jr.,
vice grand; B. C. Ferguson,
secretary; R. P. Harris, treasurer:
J. II. Barnhill, outside
sentinel. The appointive officers
of the lodge will be announced
at the next regular

At a meeting Thursday afternoon
of the directors of the recently
organized Pineville Loan
and Savings bank officers of the
institution were elected follows:
W. M. Ross, president;
W'. M. Morrow, vice president;
W. H. Fuller, cashier. As was
announced in The Times last
week, the bank will begin 1
business .as soon as the building
which it is to erect as a home can 1
be.put Up.
The improvements made at the
Fort Mill Presbyterian church
during the last few weeks add
materially to both the beauty ,
and comfort of the building. At
a cost .of several hu#l red dollars |
a new roof has been put on the
building and considerable repair
work done on the interior, besides
the installation of the new stained
windows. The churchyard has
also been greatly improved by
trimming the trees.
The annual meeting of the j
Mate reacners' Association of
South Carolina will be held in
Columbia on December 30-31 and
January 1. An interesting pro-1
gram, which doubtless will prove
helpful to the many teachers who
are expected to be present at the
sessions of the association, has !
been prepared. The meeting J
will be attended by two of the !
teachers of the Fort Mill graded
school. Supt. L. M. Hank night
and Miss Minnie Yarborough.
The ladies of the congregation
of Pleasant Hill Methodist church
wish the public to know that a
Christmas dinner and supper will
be served in the church building
Monday afternoon, the 27th,
from 3 to 7:30 o'clock. The
money the ladies thus succeed
in raising will be used to make
some necessary repairs to the
interior of the church and it is
hoped that they will be liberally I
patronized. Pleasant Hill church
is four miles east of Fort IV*ill in
the Pleasant Valley neighborhood.
Magistrate's Constable John
Coltharp was put to considerable
inconvenience last Thursday by a
report reaching him that in a
fight between two negres on the
plantation of Hon. S. H. Epps in
Gold Hill one had killed the
other. It seems that the report
was started in a spirit of bravado
by the negro who claimed that
he did the killing. When the
constable arrived at the home of
the reputed murderer, the negro
was in the yard washing hisface?which
incident helped
some.
POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER MiLl

their various hydro-electric
plants in this section.
The Dukes command plenty ol
capital to back any undertaking
they set themselves to and arc
in a position to get the co-operation
of any amount of wealth
they wish.
There is reason* to believe that
one of the great cotton" flTTTS

Mill if the proper interest i.shown
in the matter by the
business men of the town. .Just
what inducements the town
would have to make to iivure the
location of one of the mi'ls here
is, of course, unknown,. 1 . it c m

The Dixie Hardware company
i name under which a branch
[? ol" the *fi?m of McElhaney & Co.
will do business in one of the
new -Belk store buildings now
' being erected on Main street. It
is the purpose of the Dixie Hard
ware com piiny to carry a com-|
plete stock of hardware and
crockery. * Much of the trade
in these lines has either gone
away from Fort Mill heretofore
or the public has gone without
such supplies because of the
inconvenience in securing them.
Tiioie is little doubt that such an
.enterprise will prove profitable
i its promoters and at the same
time be a source of convenience
to the public the lack of which
has been felt often in the past.
