appeared in The Times from the i
office of probate judge since L.

of the office.
A case of considerable interest
L!-L L 1 i ? ? ?
^ which prooaoiy win oe tried at
the present session of the court
of general sessions is that of
W. O. Bailes, charged with
adultery.
J. P. McMurray has resigned
the clerkship which he has held
for several years with a Rock
Hill bank and will become cashier
of the Yorkville Loan and
Savings bank on May 1.
Monday afternoon Ira G.
Smythe was the recipient of a
beautiful walking stick, made of
orange wood. The stick was
sent Mr. Smythe by his friend,
A. Y. Williamson, from Jacksonvilie,
Fla.
E. E. Thornwell, a former,
Fort Mill citizen, has been appointed
magistrate for Hartsville
by Governor Ansel. Mr.
Thornwell has been practicing
law in Darlington county for
several years.
Up to this time there has not
been held the usual meeting of
the local camp of Confederate
veterans to elect delegates to the :
general reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans and it now I
seems that the soldiers of this
section will not have representn- j
tion at the Mobile reunion.
A meeting of the board of1
trustees of the Fort Mill graded
school was held Monday afternoon
at which was discussed the
sale of the bonds voted last
April for a new building. The
board is in correspondence with
a Chattanooga broker who says
he will buy the bonds.
Mrs. Mary Barber, mother of
ex-Attorney General W. A. Barber
and a kinswoman of the Barber
families of Fort Mill and the
Pleasant Valley section of Lan-1
caster county, died at a hospital
in Chester last Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Barber's home was at Richburg:.
She was a member of the
Presbyterian church and was 69
years old.
The spring session of the RiverIP^
side school, of which Miss Louise
Dye was teacher, closed Saturday
afternoon. The session was
marked by improvement in all ;
the grades and the work of Miss ,
Dye is duly appreciated by the
trustees as was evidenced by
her reelection to teach at the!
summer session of the school,
which begins July 15th. After
spending a few days with rela- j
tives in Fort Mill, Miss Dye will i
leave for her home in Kershaw
the latter part of the week.
A 12-hour ra:n fell in this i
section Saturday night, begin-j
ning at 8 o'clock p. m. and con- j
tinuing until about the same
hour Sunday morning. The
rain was greatly welcomed by
everyone. It was badlv needed i
as little rain had fallen in this
section since the latter part of
February and much of the farm
work which is ordinarily done
during the first half of April had
been deferred on account of the
lack of moisture in the earth.
Many farmers had suspended
work entirely, but there were
others who had begun to plant!
their cotton. All are again at
work, however, thankful for the
opportune showers.
Small Store Burned.
The store of E. P. H. Nivens,
two miles north of Fort Mill on
the Steele Creek road, was destroyed
by fire at 2 o'clock Monday
morning. Mr. Nivens' loss
is about $300, with no insurance.
The fire is supposed to have been
of incendiary origin, as there
was no one in the building for
several hours before it was
burned, Mr. Nivens being in
Yorkviile at the time. There has
been some feeling in the neigh-!
borhood against Mr. Nivens as1

when an attempt was made to
assassinate him. There is said
to be no clue to the person or
persons who set fire to the
building.
More than 1,000 acres of forest
. were burned over near Blaeks*
burg a few days ago. The
damage amounts to about $2,000,
it is said by those who have seen
the burned area. Several houses
were destroyed. The wind was
high and the combustible matter
was very dry. Immense
damage was done to young1
timber. Various persons had
cordwood cut and left in the
woods. It was all burned.
