A Call to The Farmers. ?
The 'Farmers of Fort Mill S
township, in common with those u
of other sections of the State and j 1
South, are alive to the fact that 9
steps must be taken whereby, g
farm conditions in general will ?
be benefitted in 1912. While g
discussing the subject a few days j 1
ago several of the township's 3
leading farmers decided that a 1
public meeting of farmers was I
the proper beginning of the move- G
%nent and one of the number re- |
quests The Times to call such a |
meeting to be held in the local g
town hall on Wednesday, De- 9
cember 13, at 1 o'clock irf the ^
afternoon. Should the day be
cold or. disagreeable it is promised
that the hall will be heated
and made comfortable. The
purpose of the meeting, as indi- ;
cated above, will be to discuss ,
farming in general and especially
to consider a reduction of acreage
and a curtailment of commercial
fertilizers for the next crop. As
is generally known, a petition's
for curtailment has been eircu
lated in certain sections of the &
county, and it is likely that the B
terms of that agreement will be S
given consideration in the meet- I
ing, and if found undesirable, a
another agreement will be drawn I
that will be acceptable to the far- I
mers of Fort Mill. This meeting |8
is held solely to discuss matters j ?
of importance to the farmer and 1 jj
it is the hope of thoae who have I
issued the call that everyone en- I
gaged in agricultural pursuits in T
the township will be present.

A Thanksgiving Reunion.
Not since the Pilgrims at Ply-, $
mouih Rock assembled in the 5
fall of 1621 and gave thar.ks for 1
their first fruits from American 2
soil, has a happier Thanksgiving 5
occurred than the one celebrated f
at the home of Mr. Bowman k
Merritt, Sr.. in upper Fort Mill ifl
last Thursday. The occasion w
was a reunion of the descendents *
of Mrs. Sallle Billue, and gather- j {?
ed around her were 100 of the! jg
children, grand-children and p
great grand-children. ?
Mrs. Billue was born in 1824 ;fij
near Fort Mill. At the age of 18 ! 5
she married Samuel Billue.
those days rubber-tired carriages ^
and gasoline wagons were un-: =
known so the happy couple made
their flight to the minister's home 1
on the back of a mule. To this Oi
union were born eight children,
two sons and six daughters.
Boih sons died early in life,
leaving no children, hence the'
name Billue was lost. The daugh- _
ters are Mrs. Bowman Merritt.
Sr., 12 children anu 20 grand- J.,,
children; Mrs. Mary Bailss, de- 00
ceased, 11 children and 10 grand-;
children; Mrs. R. Y. Wjilianr.son, ; fo
10 children and nine grand-chil- nii
dren; Mrs. J. B. Clavvson, 10 [
children and two grand-children; ,v
Mrs. J. I. Spinks, 12children and !>e
nine grand-children; Mrs. Edgar
