Ardrey and lit-! tie daughter Elizabeth returned Tuesday night from a two weeks' visit to Mrs. Ardrey's mother, Mrs. J. B. Mack, in College Park, Ga. F. A. Witt, a celebrated automobile driver who participated in the recent prize races at Atlanta, Savannah and Columbia, was a visitor to Fort Mill Tuesday, South Carolina's population ac- | cording to the census, is 1,515,- 4 400, an increase of 175,084 in the I last decade. The population of j: York county is 47,718, giving it ' seventh place in the State's counties. Tor the first time this fall the country roads in this section are in bad condition and are too heavy for other than necessary travel. As a result of the recent rams, there have been few country people in town this week. 1 The armory of the Fort Mill ' Light Infantry has recently been considerably improved by the r installation of individual lockers for the members of the company. In the lockers are kept the uniforms, guns, accoutrements, etc., of the militiamen. Among the lay delegates to the Methodist Episcopal conference which is in session in Charleston [ is Mayor L. A. Harris, who left 1 Fort Mill Tuesday morning for the City by the Sea. Mayor Harris is a delegate to the conference from the Rock Hill district. He is expected to return home the latter part of the week. The first real snowfall of the season in this section began at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening and lasted for several hours. Unfortunately for the hopes of the little boys and girls who had visions of snowballing and sleighing, the snow melted as fast as it fell, owing to the condition of the ground from an all-day rain. Reading in The Times a few days ago of the 491-2-minute nntnmnhilf* r\f W 13 A,. drey from Fort Mill to Chariotte, ' a friend of Edgar Jones' calls | attention to the fact that Mr. Jones' record for the distance, 231-2 miles, is one and a half minutes less than Mr. Ardrey's. Some weeks ago Mr. Jones made , the trip in 48 minutes in his I, Maxwell car. The remains of Mrs. Amanda '< Lassiter., who died in Charlotte i Sunday from the effects of aj1 stroke of paralysis which she sustained about five months ago, : were brought to Fort Mill Monday morning and interred in the city cemetery. Until she married Henry Lassiter 11 years ago. Mrs. Lassiter had always lived 1 in Fort Mill township. She was a daughter of the late Maj. James D. Johnson and was first married to D. G. Bennett, who died about 20 years ago. Prof. Hand's Address.. An interesting address touch- ( ing various phases of the public , . school system of South Carolina ' was delivered in the auditorium of the Fort Mill graded school ! building Friday evening by Prof. I W. H. Hand, State hiirh school I L inspector. Prof. Hand began his address by complimenting the L community upon erecting the! new building since he was here some time ago. Nobody was proud of the old building and it was never pointed out to visitors as an evidence of the town's interest in educational affairs. The new building means progress J and will help the educational interests not only of Fort Mill 1 but other communities in this ; section. Henceforth the visitor will have faith in Fort Mill because Fort Mill people have faith 1 in themselves. One improve- j ment leads to another, hence a i ^ new vision of life will come to , \ many from the building. But the | ( A building alone is not the entire j school. No teacher can properly j: H instruct 59 pupils, as is expected I, of one teacher in the Fort Mill school. He urged the necessity of two more teachers in the ? school and suggested a meeting of the patrons to decide whether 1 more teachers are necessary. A good man should be employed to j superintend the school and he should be given a voice in the selection of the teachers. Prof. Hand closed his address with a criticism of the practice of sending boys and girls off to college to do high school work they .should have done at home. mmmmmmmmmmmmmn 11 VKarn IVI1 Vvl!
