SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST
to TIMES READERS.
Good morning! Have you paid
your street tax?
Chas. W. McN"?ily is able to be
out after an illness of pneumonia.
Mrs. Janie Young and children
are now occupying the Barber
residence on East Booth street.
Mrs. Fannie Culp, mother of
Mrs. W. R. Bradford, of this city,
is reported as being seriously sick
at her home in Pineville.
Mrs. J. M. Oldham, of Charlotte,
spent several days of the
past week with her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. W. Ardrey, in this
city.
The rain of Saturday put the
quietus on the game of baseball
that was to have been played
between the Gold Hill and Fort
Mill nines.
n P Xlnssair T> crm nf Ml* I
D. C. Hioootj, wi., uvii v?
and Mrs. B. F. Massey of lower
Fort Mill, has accepted a position
with Bowen's drug store in
Charlotte.
Catawba lodge No. 5C\ A. F. M.,
will meet in regular monthly
session this (Thursday) evening
promptly at 7:30 o'clock. Work
will be done in the second degree.
At a meeting recently of the
trustees of the Yorkville graded
schools Prof. J. Harvey Witherspoon
was reelected superintendent
of the schools for the 1912-13
term.
There was a light touch of
frost Friday morning in low
* places, but not enough to hurt
truck gardens or fruit of any
kind. The thermometers registered
as low as 42 at 6 a. m.
The Times acknowledges receipt
of an invitation to attend
the exercises of the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the founding of
Winthrop college to be held at
Rock Hill Friday, May 3.
The small grain crops in this
A J 1
section are reported to nave umeu
on new life during the last ten
days and the indications now are
that a good crop of both wheat
and oats will be harvested. <
Chas. W. McNealy, whose illness
of pneumonia was reported
in The Times of last week, continues
to improve and it is now
believed that he will be abb to
leave his room within a short
time.
Notice is given in another
column of the regular spring exami
nation of applicants for certificates
to teach in the public
schools of the county. The
examination will be held at the
court house the morning of Friday,
May 3.
Great preparations have been
made in Rock Hill for the entertainment
of the visitors who will
attend the State oratorical contest
in that city Friday, April 26.
Many Fort Mill people have expressed
an intention of hearing
these contests in oratory.
The many friends in this section
of Mrs. Laura A. Parks will
regret to learn that she suffered
a slight stroke of paralysis on
Wednesday of last week. It is
pleasing to note, however, that
Mrs. Parks has partially recovered
from the affliction.
In the circuit court at Yorkville
last week Robert McCoy a
Fort Mill colored man was tried
and acquitted upon the charge
of murder. McCoy was charged
with the murder of another
negro at his home in the suburbs
of Fort Mill one night several
months ago.
Great improvement has been
made the past few days to that
portion of Confederate street
fronting the graded school by the
dumping of hundreds of loads of
loose dirt in the low places. The
dirt is that being removed from
Main street to make way for the
navincr and it is believed that the
amount to be removed will be
sufficient almost to level the low
place in Confederate street at the
point mentioned.
It is to be hoped that the farmers
of this section will not allow
Wall street to pull the wool over
their eyes by raising the price of
cotton to eleven cents and better
at this, the planting, time. If
the farmer will look backward
he will find that this has been
done for years in order to induce
him to plant a large crop and
when the harvest season comes
the Wall street men sit back and
laugh in their sleeves at the
hard-worked cotton farmer who
is compelled to let the fruits of
his labor get away at a price way
below the actual value of the
product Plant less.
Most Repair Roads and Bridges.
Postmaster B. H. Massey has
received a request from the postoffice
department at Washington
for information concerning what
action has been taken toward
rebuilding Boby's bridge over
Sugar creek and the repairing of
the public roads in the vicinity
of the bridge. It will be remembered
that Dobv's bridge was
washed away during the freshet
some weeks ago and the roads
in that vicinity have since been
but little used and are said to be
badly washed. The Dobv's bridge
road is the highway of travel for
the rural mail carrier on route 3
rom Fort Mill and for the reason
that the mail service is being
greatly hindered by the present
condition of the road and bridge
the department insists that some
accion be at once taken to remedy
the trouble. In a letter to Postnaster
Massey the postal authoriiessay
that ac tion in this matter
must not be further delayed or
the department probably wiil
find it advisable to change the
route or discontinue the service
altogether.
The postal authorities have also
addressed letters to Supervisor
Gardner of Lancaster county and
Ciinni'iricnf Rftl'H f?f York POlllltV
UUj^Ll t ir*iM uvj v? Vi * w .. u
in regard to the road and bridge.
Supervisor Boyd has replied that
the work ol removing the old
bridge has been awarded and as
soon as the material is removed
from the stream, and some idea
gained as to what parts of the
old structure can be used in the
building of the new bridge, bids
will be asked for and a contract
awarded for the bridge. In the
meantime it behooves the supervisors
and people residing along
the Doby's bridge road to get
busy and put the road in passable
condition if they wish to retain {
the dailv mail service.
The Origin of Tobacco.
Here is the Indian legend of
the origin of tobacco: "Ages
ago, at the time when spirits
considered the world yet good
enough for their occasional resi-!
dence, a very great and powerful
spirit lay down by the side
of his fire to sleep in the forest.
While so lying his arch-enemy
came that way and thought it
would be a good chance for misrtViiof
cr, front 1 v nnnroafhinc the
V liivi I ^ v * 1 V J v v. 0
sleeker he rolled him over towards
the fire till his head rested
among the glowing embers and
his hair was set ablaze. The
fire roasted the good spirit,
and, leaping to his feet, he
rushed in a fright through the
forest. As he did the wind
caught his singed hair as it flew
off, and, carrying it away, sowed
it broadcast over the earth, into
which it sank and took root and
grew up tobacco."
Wofford Glee Club Coming.
A decided treat is in store for
all the music lovers of this section
in the visit to Fort Mill next
Saturday evening of the Wofford
College Glee Club. The club will
give a concert in the auditorium
of the Fort Mill school Saturday
evening at 8 o'clock, under the 1
auspices of the local chapter of
the Daughters of the Confederacy.
The Wofford club is com- j
posed of the best talent of the |
college and is well known to the
people of South Carolina, having
in past seasons appeared oefore
large and appreciative audiences
in many of the cities and towns
of the State. This excellent
musical organization visited Fort
Mill about one year ago and,
while the crowd attending the
concert was not as large as had
been hoped, so highly complimented
was the entertaiment it
is believed that when the curtain
rises next Saturday evening the
school auditorium will be well
filled. The Daughters of the
Confederacy were indeed fortunate
in making a date with the
glee club.
For a Clean-up Day.
The Times would be pleased to
see the citizens of the town inaugurate
a general cleaning up
campaign, such as was so successfully
carried through last spring,
and we feel confident that every
citizen residing within the corporate
limits would readily join
in the movement by (leaning
their places of business and resi
dence, including all surrounding
grounds. The local Civic club
doubtless would cooperate in such
a campaign and it is not to be
doubted that both the appearance
arid sanitary conditions of our
town would be greatly improved
if the work was carried through.
Promise of Good Fruit Crop.
Or.e of the largest fruit growers
in this section stated to The
Times a day or two ago that he
had never known a brighter
prospect for all kinds of fruit
than there is at present. The
peach trees, he stated, are having
an especially heavy fruitage
that is already well developed
and the apple trees are following
suit with promises of equally as
full a crop. If there is no killing
frost for the remainder of the
spring a record crop it is believed
is assured of all kinds of fruit in
this section of the State. The
indications are. he says, that
the danger of killing frosts is
about past and if this is the case
iL '- ?? ?^ V\n<fA o in'olrl
mis StXllUU is sui c iv lia ic aj iviu
as large as was ever known.
Then, too, the interest in spraying
and other means of improving
the quality of the fruit is so increased
that the record for quality
also bids fair to surpass that
of former years.
Beginning Wednesday, May 1.
the stores of Fort Mill, drug
stores excepted, will close each
afternoon during the summer
months at 7 o'clock. The stores
will remain open Saturday evenings
as usual.
A Strange Phenomenon.
On March the 26th at 10:30
1 o'clock rocks began falling at the
home of J. M. Craft's near the
Savannah river, in Elbert county,
Georgia, and continued for three
days, falling at intervals through
the day. They began falling in
a field some distance from the
house where Mr. Craft and a
colored boy were at work. At
first he thought it was some mischievous
person hid in a patch
of woods trying to scare them.
He spoke and told them to stop
it, but the rocks kept falling
around them. At last he decided
to go to another fi-Id removed
from the woods, bur the
rocks continued to fall, and one
^fell on his hoe and knocked it
from his hand. By this time he
began to think they were coming
from some other source so he
hurried to his house. After he
got there the rocks began falling
again. They did not fall in a
shower but one here arid there.
IIis wife gathered a great'many
of them as they did not fall with
any force. The rocks looked
? !-- .? l,?
line our commuu urn., imnn >oijing
in size from the small one to
some as large as your fist. > The
first morning they fell it was a
little cloudy, but the rest of the
time it was clear.
Some think it was a fulfillment
of the Bible, "there shall be
signs and wonders before the
the last days" and again in
John 4-48 Christ said "except
ye see signs and wonders, ye
shall not believe." And we are
commanded to watch and he
reaJy. There is no exaggeration
in this article for it was
written just as it was told by my
grandfather who is now 87 years
and others who were present and
saw them falling.?N. McG. in
Abbeville Press and Banner.
Except in York.
Are there to be no candidates
for office in Cherokee this year?
What's the matter? Are those
who would serve the dear people
afraid to let it be known? In
every other county there are already
a number of candidates announced,
but so far no one in
Cherokee has had the temerity
to come out for a single office. ?
