President Leroy Springs, of the two local cotton mills, was a business visitor to Fort Mill Monday. Quite a number of Fort Millpeople have been in Yorkville this week as jurors and witnesses upon the circuit court. Mr. Wesley Vest, of Tobaccoville, N. C., was a guest the past week of his niece, Mrs. E. W. Russell, of this city. W. L. Boyd, of Charlotte, has accepted a position with the Millfort mill of this city as overseer of spooling, spinning and warping. The first baseball game of the season for Fort Mill will be played on the local diamond Saturday afternoon between the Gold Hill school nine and a team made up of Fort Mill boys. There were 15 prisoners in York jail awaiting trial at the term of court which convened Monday, last. Besides these, several were under bond to appear for trial this week. Claude B. Faris, son of B. M. Faris, of Gold Hili, has been named as one of the speakers for the commencement exercises at Clemson college. This is quite an honor for Cadet Faris. Mesdames J. R. Haile, A. R. McElhaney and C. B. Magill, Misses Louise and Lana Parks, and Hon. 0. W. Potts, W. B. Meacham, Jr., and B. W. Bradford, of Fort Mill, were among - those who attended the unveiling exercises at Columbia Thursday. The friends of Chas. VV. McNealy, superintendent of the Fort Mill Mfg. company's plant, will regret to learn that he is seriously ill of pneumonia at his home on Clebourne street, this city. Mr. McNealy's condition yesterday was reported as somewhat improved. The Times is pleased note that there was slight improvement yesterday in the condition of Mrs. Catherine Massey, who has been very ill for several days at her home on East Booth street. Mrs. Massey is one of Fort Mill's oldest and most estimable ladies. The case of the State vs. Thos. Limeberger, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, which was to have been tried in York court Monday, was continued until the July term of the court. The specific charge against Limeberger was that of having assaulted L. Z. Humphries with a deadly weapon several months ago on the streets of Fort Mill. Clemson College is sending out Bulletin No. 156on "Home gardening in South Carolina," which contains valuable information as to how to prepare the garden and what to plant. A post card directed to the experiment station at Clemson College will bring ti;is valuable bulletin to any one who will take time to write for it. Notice appears elsewhere in The Times informing the male residents of the town that the street tax for 1912 is now due and payable to the city treasurer. The books for the collection of said tax were opened on last Monday, the 15th, and will remain open one month, until r May 15. after which date the penalties as provided by law will be imposed upon all delinquents. This section was visited Tuesday by a rain which has had a very helpful effect upon the n*>/] lonrlv! T hp gaz UCIIS anu iann iuuuu. A liv last rain which fell hereabouts was that of two weeks or more ago, which packed the ground and caused a hard crust to form on the surface when the weather cleared. The rain of Tuesday served to soften this crust and the farmers have since been able to till the soil in a much easier and more satisfactory manner. The money for the annual payment of the pensioners of Fort Mill township was received several days ago at the Savings bank and is being paid out to the veterans. On the Fort Mill list there are 31 names. Of these two receive $72. There are only two in the class which receive $48, the remaining 27 receive $21.75 each. Three of the Fort Miil pensioners have died since the list was made up for this year, these being W. F. Patterson, R. G. Pearson and R. T. Bailey. i <. . t School Day at Rock Hill. In spite of lowering clouds and j slight rain, a large crowd of pu- j piis, accompanied by the teach-1 ers and many parents and friends, j went over to Rock Hill Saturday for the annual York county school day. Practically every school in 1 the county was represented, there being something like 1500 school j childien present, and ail these took part ?n the various contests, some tahii.& part in more than one contest. Senator Tillman and other prominent men were in attendance. The mental contests were held at Winthrop college Saturday morning. At 1! o'clock in the afternoon dinner was served on the college campus "hnd later the crowd went to the grounds of the Rock Hill graded schools, where the athletic con-, wprp hpld. There were numerous prizes offered and the competition in each contest was quite spirited. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the day was the exhibit of the work done by the various schools of the county. These ; exhibits were placed in the hall on the second floor of Winthrop j and were viewed by thousands. Many expressed themselves as amazed at the work being taught, all being of a nature that will serve the pupils in good stead in the future. The girls are taught j sewing and fancy work and also j to cook, and specimens of this work were exhibited. The boys | are taught to draw and design, ! and make useful articles of art by the pupils who have an inclination to do such work. Taken all in all, the exhibit served to j make the patrons of the schools take a greater pride in the edu- ' cational advantages offered and 1 to arouse in them a desire to even excel the work already done and . to grasp more fully the opportu- ; nities afforded to thoroughly pre-: j pare their children for life. ;! The following are the prizes ] won by pupils of the Fort Mill J school: ; 100 Yard Dash?1st prize, $1, J Roy Patterson. 1-4 Mile Dash?1st prize, $1, Roy Patterson. Relay Race?2nd prize, $1, .

Moore and Capt. George H. McMaster inspected company K, First regiment, Friday night in the Fort Mill armory. There were 46 men present, this being the largest company in the State. 1 Capt. McMaster complimented [ the men on their appearance, j saying that a larger per cent, of l this company would pass the 1 physical requirements of the j army than any company he had : visited. He also complimented i them on the care they took of J their equipment. t Gen. Moore gave the men a f short talk, praising the work of I Sergeant George Potts, who took 1 first place on the South Carolina team at Camp Perry last summer as best shot among the enlisted ( men. ', Sergeant Potts came down from Davidson college, where he is a student, especially to stand inspection with his company. , Capt. Ltgare of the Second regiment was present and gave the ! company an interesting talk. The inspecting officers declared the work and appearance of the company to be highly satisfactory and a credit to the State. The Unveiling at Columbia. The Times man had the pleasure Thursday of witnessing the unveiling at Columbia of the Konntifn! mnnnmPTit prprtpd hv WWW V* * V* ? if the State to the South Carolina women of the Confederacy. The monument stands just back of the State house. There were present at the unveiling some-! thing like 7,000 people. The day and its events were most successful and saw one of the most sublime occasions in the history of the State. 11 The oration of the day was de- 1 livered by Hon. J. W. Barnwell, and at an appropriate moment in the speech the Confederate Hags draped around the monument were withdrawn, and, amid cheers from thousands of throats, the tribute to the heroism of Confederate womanhood was presented to the sons and daughters of this womanhood. The opening address was made by Gen. C. Irvine Walker, chairman of the commission, and the opening prayer was by Rev. J. G. Richards, chaplain of the Tenth South Carolina regiment, C. S. A. An artillery salute was fired over the shaft by the German artillery of Charleston, and the shaft was received on behalf of the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy by A. L. Gaston of Chester, commander of the Sons. The benediction was by Rev. F. 0. S. Curtis. Inscribed on the monument is the following: "In this monument generations unborn shall hear the voice of a great people testifying to the sublime devotion of the women of South Carolina in their country's need." Many people are of the opinion that the real beginning of the warm season has arrived, and although its advent has been somewhat delayed, the chances are that it has now really come to stay. FOR SALE?At a bargain, a good ! . second-hand Top Buggy. S. P. HAIR. , A Democratic Year. W. R. Bradford, former editor;1 of The Times, is in Fort Mill 1 for a few days from Washington. J Mr. Bradford has a position in < the United States Senate and is ] therefore in position to hear;J much of the discussion at the ] Capitol of the chances of the;; various candidates for the presi- dential nomination, ilis opinion is that PresiJent Taft vviii be the Republican nominee and that his Democratic opponent probably will be Speaker Champ Clark?certainly not Governor Woodrow Wilson. The Republicans are hopelessly divided and the only peg on which they have to hang any hope of success tnis c year is the possibility of the . Democrats nominating at Bait.'- 1 more an extreme radical for whom the people will not stand. t t , c - - Iff 9 If Baptist womens meeting. i The semi-annual meeting of ( the York County Baptist Womens' Missionary Union was t held in the Baptist church of Fort Mill on Wednesday of last 1 week. A large crowd was in attendance and much interest and enthusiasm were shown. Reports from the various societies showed fine progress in all. Many of the societies had reached their full apportionment and one had gone beyond, as a result of the "tithing plan" which it has adopted. The closing half-hour was given over to hearing words of greeting and Godspeed from Revs. S. P. Hair, of Fort Mill, Lowe of Clover, and Brock and Nelson, of Rock Hill. A bountiful and delicious picnic dinner was served 3n the grounds. The officers of the Union are: Miss Emma Dowell, President; Mrs.. S. S. Frew. Associational Superintendent of Societies; Miss Oorinne Faris, Associate Superintendent of Y. W. A. work; Miss Minnie Garrison, Associate Superintendent of Sunbeam and Royal Ambassadors Bands.
