SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. V The Jewish Passover began i Tuesday morning and lasts for one week. The Carhartt cotton mill, in Rock Hill, last week resumed ? full operations, after a shut-down < M of several months. I Miss Mary Boyd has returned j V to her home in this city, after I spending the winter with her , I sister. Mrs. Dr. Stuart, in NewI ton, N. C. ! | The farmers of the township [ Monday morning started their , I , plows, it being the first plowing with manv that has been done , ' this season. \ Little J. B. Mills, second son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Barron Mills, suffered a broken arm a few mornings ago as the result of falling from his bed. There probably is not another town in the State the size of Fort Mill that has as many worthless dogs running at large as we have. The dogs should be muzzled during the summer months. Clarence McMurray, son of | Mr. and Mrs. J. H. McMurray ' ? of the township, has accepted a position with the Poag Real Estate agency of Rock Hill. Mr. * McMurray began work Tuesday ' morning in his new position. v The young men and women of \ the Fort Mill Methodist church j have for several weeks been rehearsing for a play which they ] intend to present in the school "*) auditorium in the near future. The proceeds from the play will be used for church purposes. Rock Hill will get the State * Oratorical contest this year, the c date for the contest being Friday, April 26th. The contest has been held for many years at , Greenwood, but the burning of the Oregon Hotel recently and j fear that accommodations could not be secpred for the big crowds that always attend led to the ^ change. Fred Hammonds, second son j nf Mr. and Mrs. Henrv Ham- a monds, of the township, under- v went an operation for appendi- ^ citis Friday at the Rock Hill hospital. The condition of th?' little fellow is reported favorable v and it is expected that he will be ^ able to return to his home within a few days. 1 The Times is pleased to note , that Mrs. Jane M. Young, whose j husband, the Rev. R. A. Yongue,1* died in Chester county a short J time ago, has decided to make i her home in Fort Mill in the future. Mrs. Yongue, it is J understood, has rented the Barber residence on East Booth j street, and with her children will move there in a few days. The Fort Mill Light Infantry, j( the local military organization, { has been busy drilling for sever- 1 al weeks, preparatory to the an- ( nual inspection which will be made on Friday, April 12. The ' inspecting officer this year for ( the State is Adjutant General j Moore and for the government ' Captain McMaster. The inspec- 1 tion of the local company will be { in the company's armory. 1 'J Speaking of late seasons, J. P. * Crowder, a well known farmer 1 of the township, was heard to < remark a few days ago that in 1 one year of his farming career t he did his first plowing the 13th day of April. Despite the late _^tart Mr. Crowder stated that he ] i " made as good, if not better, crop that year than any year before ; or since. j W. H. Windle has completed | the raising of the bridge over j Steel creek at White's old mill site which was dislodged by the March freshet. The bridge was ] raised considerably higher than . before and is thought to be high j enough now to stand freshets of | i the ordinary height. Up to this , r time we are told nothing has J been done toward rebuilding J Doby's bridge, across Sugar creek, six miles south of Fort ( Mill. About 30 pupils of the Fort | Mill public school left the insti- ; tution Monday morning and took a hike up the railroad to the Steel creek bridge. The weather Monday was threatening, but the children could not resist tne temptation, especially on April ; 1, and they risked the conse- 1 quences and skipped for the day. The faculty of the school turned the joke on the runaways by 1 Riving a half holiday to the pupils who remained in school. ??? ?????? A. A. Bradford, Jr., of Columbia, and J. A. Withers, of Worthville, N. C., were among the visitors to Fort Mill Sunday. Dr. L. 0. Johnson, an experienced pharmacist of Lake City, S.

Miss Sarah Bennett, an aged maiden lady of the township, was seriously injured Sunday night by falling from a buggy near the home of her nephew, B. F. Bennett, of upper Fort Mill.

Monday afternoon Harvey Os>orne, a young farmer of the Pinevilie community, narrowly ;scaped death as the result of a all from a mule which he was iding. Mr. Osborne had been it work in a field a short disance from his home and was eturning to the house, when his nule shied at some object and ;hrew the young man. In fallng Mr. Osborne's foot became jntangled in one of the trac? :hains and he was dragged by ;he frightened animal a distance )f more than 500 yards. The foung man was carried to his lome and a physician was at once called from Pineville. It was found upon examination that no Dones were broken but the young nan was severely bruised. The axact extent of Mr. Osborne's n juries, or whether he was injured internally, could not be stated at the time the accident vas reported to The Times. Mr. Osborne is a married man, with family, and lives on the planta:ion of J. C. Saville, of Fort Mill. The Inter-Collegiate Contest. Editor Fort Mill Times: If you will allow this space in I'our paper, I want to exhort the people of Fort Mill and community to attend the Inter-Colegiate contest which will beheld In Rock Hill on Friday night, A.pril 20. This contest has been held heretofore at Greenwood, but on account of the hotel being burned it was moved to Rock Hill for this year by a vote of 4 to 5. You see what this means to the people of Rock Hill and adjacent towns. It will be the best chance for the people to see what the colleges are doing that they ever had and perhaps will ever have again. Rock Hill has made the association a fair proposition and I, being from the "sticks" nearby, wanted the contest held there to let some of those low country fellows see our part of the State and to show them that our hearts are as big any found in the State. P. M. Bailes. Greenville, March 31. Death of Pineville Young Man. J. Tate Spencer, a popular young man of Pineville whose ill ness was mentioned in The Times of last week, died Saturday evening in Charlotte, whither he hac gone for treatment about twc months ago. The immediate cause of his death was the schock resulting from an operation foi appendicitis, which on aceount oi his weakened condition he could not withstand. Mr. Spencer was 24 years old, an excellent young man with fine traits of character. He is survived by his mother, two sisters and two brothers. The funeral was held at Pineville, Sunday afternoon by the Woodmen of the World, of which the deceased was a member, after which the body was laid to rest in the village cemetery. Schools Get Dispensarv Money. Every county in South Carolina will receive 28 cents for every /-.kilri anvnllorl in t Km nnKlip c/>lirtnlc ^IHIU VUl V/I1VU 141 V11V pUMIIV uvtiwiu from the distribution of the dispensary fund, as a result of a measure passed at the last session of the general assembly.

Patterson, one of Fort Mill's oldest residents and a veteran of the Civil war, passed away at 11 o'clock Monday night at his home on East Booth street, this city. Mr. Patterson had not been in good health for several years and in his last illness had been extremely ill for several days prior to his death. All the members of his family, with the exception of one daughter, Mrs. Carter, were present when the end came. Wm. F. Patterson was 66 years of age and had spent his entire life in this community, except .i . i .?,i tne two years or more nt servcu the Confederacy in the War Between the States. After the war Mr. Patterson returned to this community and engaged in farming, which he followed until his age hindered him from further engaging in this work. Mr. Patterson is survived by his wife, who was Miss Susan Merritt, and two sons, Messrs. J. H. and B. F. Patterson, of Fort Mill, and two daughters, Mrs. Minnie Carter, of Catawba, and Mrs. J. L. Lyles of Fort Mill. Besides these he had a wide family connection in this community. The funeral service was conducted from the home Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. S. P. Hair, after which the burial was made in the Fort Mill cemetery. ' Would Make Good Officers. Editor Fort Mill Times: I see from your last issue that there seems to be no one wanting office in York county. I have in mind two men who, I believe, would acceptably fill two of the offices. One is Capt. John W. Ardrey, of Fort Mill, who, being a man of fine judgment, would make us a good State senator, and I wish I could cast a thousand votes for the Captain. The other man is Chas. P. Blankenship, who is possessed of all that one could need to make a good county supervisor. Now, I hope no one will think I am a politician, for I only know these men to be well fitted for the two offices. Z. T. Bailes. Flint Hill, March 29. ONE CENT A WORD MINIMUM CHARGE, 25C.
