I . I - 1 ' SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. Alva Y. Williamson, of Atlanta, is spending a few days with relatives in town. The hunting season of 19091910 closed Monday and quite a . number^of gunners were early afield to take advantage of the "last day of grace," as one cx_ pressed it. The Rock Hill Herald is authority for.the statement that W. B. Wilson, Jr., will not be a candidate for reelection to the house of representatives in the primary next Angus*. Mr?. A. B. Williams, of Charlotto, daughter o>" R. Y. Williamson, of Fort Mill, underwent r surgical operation in a Charlotte hospital Monday afternoon. Mrs. Williams' condition is satisfactory. Reduced rates have been granted by the Southern railway to those who attend the exercises incident to the presentation of the silver service to the battleship South Carolina. The tickets will be sold on April 11 and 12 and the final limit is April 16. * Capt. J. W. Ardrey recently sold in Boston, Mass., a bale of long staple cotton for which he received $102.24. The cotton was grown on the plantation in the'rear of Capt. Ardrev's home and from seed furnished by the agricultural department in Washington. The 12-year-old son of Henry Gordon, an employe of the Fort Mill Mfg. Co., died Monday morning. . The little boy had been afflicted with epilepsy several years and his death was nnovnonhw 1 TVw, 1-; VV J I1VJ UVMIV N1. interred in the town cemetery Tuesday afternoon. M. J. Porter, of Charlotte, and Miss Callie Sears, of Concord. N. C.. came to Fort Mill Sunday afternoon and were married at the Palmetto hotel at 7 o'clocl by the Rev. Mr. Hair, pastor of the Baptist church. They were accompanied l y Miss Mannie Sears, sister of the bridej The board of tax assessors Fort Mill township as recently appointed by Governor Ansel, upon the recommendation of the York delegation in the General Assetnblv, is composed of S. H. .Eyps, Sr., W. L. Hall and D. G. Kimbrell. The work of the board will be begun early this month. Clark Robinson, a well known citizen of the Providence neighborhood, has announced himself a candidate for sheriff of Meck* lenburg county, N. C., and his friends are hopeful of his success. Providence township enjoys the distinction of being the banner Democrat ic township of Mecklenburg county. It is said that there has never been a white Republican vote cast in the township. Mr. Jos. Parks is the oldest citizen of thjs community. On last Friday Mr. Parks celebrated Pic QTt 1-1 llil*tllil<?\* 1 I It ic i?/im n i.L VM Ull "H ?.?!?

He is a veteran of the Confederacy and enjoys the distinction of being1 the only citizen of this.section who not only fought, for the Southern cause himself but also had a son in the army. Fort Mill township is to be divided into three census districts instead of two districts and the number of enumerators will be increased accordingly. This information was sent out one day last week from the office of the census supervisor for this congressional district. At the examination for enumerators held by Postmaster Massey some weeks ago, five citizens of the township stood the test and it is expected that the names of the successful applicants will be announced within two weeks. Evidently the farmers of this section are impressed with the sapient saying that fertilizers cost less than labor. During the last fortnight scores* of farm 1 ~ i.A 1 waguns nave uume iu tuwn ana returned to the plantations of their owners loaded with commercial fertilizers for the coming season. This, too, notwithstanding the fact that the public roads are in bad condition from the recent rains. Ail which indicates that the use of fertilizers hereabouts this year will be in excess of the amount used in any year in the past. It seems that the farmers have decided to increase the amount of fertilizer used per acre on a smaller acreage, with the hope of a better yield per acre. Q * ? ffHiii f Honor Roll for February.
