on the Fort Mil! market

tfaptist church, colored is anticipating

The first snowfall of the winter
of 1910-'ll in this section came
Saturday afternoon and lasted
for an hour. The snow melted
as fast as it fell, however, greatly
to the disappointment of all
the little boys and girls who were
anxious for the pleasure of a little
snow-balling and sleighing.
Mrs. Margaret Lynn, mother
of J. \V. Lynn, died at the home
of her son "Tuesday evening after
a long illness. Mrs. Lynn was
reared in the Crowder's Mountain
section of the county and
was 72 years of age. She was a
member of the A. R. P. church.
The interment was in the Fort
Mill cemetery yesterday afternoon.
Miss Daisy Young, niece of Mr.
A. A. Young, of Fort Mill, died
at the home of her sister, Mrs.
J. C. Williams, in Charlotte last
Wednesday night of apoplexy
after an illness of 24 hours. Miss
Young was* a daughter of the
late Richard Young, who moved
from Fort Mill to Lancaster
20-odd years ago. She was about
38years of age. The interment
was in Lancaster.
The Times has received a copy
of "Under the Lamp With 'Ben
Hope,'" a little book containing
many interesting stories of rural
life. The author is James Stanhope
Love, a "shut-in," whose
home is at Filbert, in York coun
ty. It sells for 50 cents the copy.
The book is not only worth tho
subscription price, but those who
buy it will have the pleasure of
aiding a young man who is struggling
against great odds to support
himself.
Mr. John D. McClellan, a former
Fort Mill young man, left
Tuesday morning for Houston,
Tex., to accept a tentative position
as assistant secretary of the
Y. M. C. A. in that city. If he
is pleased with the work and life
in the Lone Star State, he will
accept the position permanently;
otherwise he will return to Charlotte
in a few weeks and resume
the Y. M. C. A. work he has
been engaged in there for several
years.
The proposition to open a new
road from a i>oint near Fort Mill
to the home of Mr. Osmond Barber,
four miles from town in
Lancaster county, is again being
agitated after a lapse of several
months. The opening of the
road, which would prove of great
convenience to many people in
Mr. Barber's section and shorten
the distance between Fort Mill
and Charlotte by about 2 miles,
would necessitate the bridging
of Sugar creek. The Lancaster
county authorities seem willing
to bear half the expense of building
the bridge, but the York
authorities do not seem inclined
to help in the undertaking.
School Trustees to Petition Council.
At the March meeting of the
Fort Mill town council application
will be made by the trustees of
the local graded school for the
privilege of renting the auditorium
of the school building for
entertainment purposes without j
the usual license fee heing collected
by the town. The trus- j
tees desire to raise money with
which to purchase a new piano
for the use of the school and think
that if the license is remitted they
may he able to induce a class of
entertainments to come to Fort
Mill which have heretofore passed
the town by rather than pay the
privilege tax and thereby pay for
the piano.
One of the trustees of the
school says that a majority of the
members of council have signified
their intention of agreeing to the
oetition: but Tuo.vuhiv mumimr n
member of council remarked that
he did not care to commit himself
to the proposition in advance
of hearing in detail what the
trustees wish. According to the
councilman, the town hall brings
in very little revenue with a
monopoly on the entertainment
business of Fort Mill. "If the
school is allowed to compete with
the town and offer.the advantage
of no privilege tax, the town will
derive no revenue whatever from I
the hall," said the councilman.
