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

a deadly weapon several months
ago on the streets of Fort Mill.

Notice appears elsewhere in
The Times informing the male
residents of the town that the

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

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.

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,

Company K. Inspected.
Adjutant general W. W.
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.

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.

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
