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.

fourg Farmer's Narrow Escape.
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.

J. Tate Spencer, a popular
young man of Pineville whose ill
ness was mentioned in The Times
of last week, died Saturday evening

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

Another Veteran Passes.
After an illness of about one
month, William F. 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.
