According to one of the older citizens the trees in this section i are always in full leaf by May 10. regardless of weather condition:before that date. W. C. Perry, an old soldier o: the township who has been living at the soldier's heme near Columbia for several months, is here for a visit to relatives. The State board of education has apportioned high school funds in York county as follows: Bethany, $300; Clover, $600; Fort Mill, $500; Hickory Grove, $300; Sharon, $300; YorkviJle, $000. The many friends of Postmaster B. Henry Massey will regret to learn that he has been confined to his room the greater part of the past week by illness. Misses Annie Wilson, Mary Kirven, Helen Wood and Bessie Kibler caine over from Winthrop Saturday afternoon to attend the ' ' tuiiva rrnoctc ?166 C1UO CUIlCfl i rtuu \> \;i t ^ uv?v? at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Belk until Monday afternoon. During the month of March, according to a report of the State insurance commissioner, there were five fires in York county, the total loss aggregating $11,420.G6. The total fire loss in the State during the month was $153,482.90. The Times this issue carries the announcement of Hon. J. E. Beamguard, of Clover, who seeks the position of State senator from York county. Mr. Beamguard's announcement is the first to appear in the York county papers for the 1912 campaign. One citizen of the town suggests that the next thing in order after the paving is a town Hock. but. suggests another, there are so many correct watches in Fort Mill that no one would ever consult the clock when seeking the tjme. Prepai atory to the regular May communion service at the Fort Mill Presbyterian church, services will begin Friday morning. May 10, and continue through the following Sunday, the pastor, Rev. W. A. Hal'ner being assisted in the meeting by Rev. H. R. Murchison. of Lancaster. The Times is requested to state that a joint meeting of the local Memorial Association and the Daughteis of the Confederacy will be held Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of Mrs. A. 0. Jones for the purpose of making arrangements for the memorial exercises on Friday, May 10. While several weeks will probably be required yet to finish the paving in Main street, some idea can now be had of the great improvement to the street when the work is completed. The street has been graded and a quantity of stone placed and the contractors are pushing the work as speedily as possible. The work of sinking a new public well in Booth street, near the intersection of Main was begun several days ago and the contractors are much pleased with the progress made. The well will probably be something more than 100 feet deep and should furnish an anunaance 01 pure water for our people and the visitors to the tow n. Tomorrow, May 3, is to be a red letter day in Rock Hill It is the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Winthrop Training School for Teachers and the day will be fittingly celebrated by the trustees and faculty of the college. A large number of invitations have been sent out and the occasion gives promise of being one of the most interesting and largely attended in the history of this great institution. If you have been in the habit of waiting until 7 o'clock or later in the evening to make daily purchases from the dry goods and grocery stores of Fort Mill, it will be necessary now to get a move on if you are to get the goods desired. Beginning this (Wednesday) evening, May 1, and continuing until September 1, the stores will close each evening, Saturday excepted, promptly at 7 o'clock. The drug stores will as heretofore remain open until a later hour in the night. Annie Limeberger, a colored woman, called at the lumber jrard of J. J. Bailes Friday morn ing for the purpose of obtaining a basket of coal, and as Mr. j Bailes' office hours do not include 1 < that of 3:30 a. m., Annie pro- ] ceeded to "wait on" herself. j< She was given the shock of her . life, however, when she en- ( countered Chief of Police Potts j ] when only a short distance from . the coal yard.

Haffner, of this county, who was convicted of housebreaking and larceny in the spring of 1911 before Judge Aldrich and sentenced to two years' imprisonment in the State penitentiary. The parole was conditioned on good behavior. Haffner comes of a prominent York county family and is a young white farmer. He pleaded o-niltv to taking a case of whis key out of the depot at Sharon by raising an unfastened window and on this plea of guilty was sentenced to two years' imprisonment. The solicitor, J. K. Henry, writes this comment on the back of the petition for clemency: "The defendant; John W. Ilaffner, upon arraignment pleaded guilty and was sentenced to imprisonment for two years. He belongs to one of the best families in the State. His people have mostly maintained high characters for honesty and sobriety. I believe with the petition, that bad company and drink brought him to this ugly pass. He had no attorney to speak a word upon his plea of guilty. His people and connections comprise a large circle. My sympathies go out to them. This is the sum of the facts known to me." The father of this boy, Mr. H. W. Hatfner, a farmer of York county, is 60 years of age and a few days ago he fell from a loft in his barn, broke his collarbone, dislocated his shoulder, and hurt himself internally and will not be able to work on his farm this year, according to a letter to the Governor from a neighbor of the man's. ANNOUNCEMENTS. STATE SENATOR. The Times is authorized to announce J. E. BEAMGUARD, of Clover, as a candidate for the State Senate, subject to the result of the Democratic primary election in York county. Loca! Democrats Reorganize. Pursuant to the call issued last week by the president, the Fort Mill Democratic Club met Saturday afternoon in the town hail and reorganized by the election J B. M. Faris as president, J. R. Haile as secretary and treasurer, j and J. H. Sutton and D V. Eops as vice presidents. There were present at the meeting about seventy voters, this number representing about one-fifth the voting strength of the township, md perhaps tl e largest number attending any club meeting held j in the last decade. Prior to the | meeting it was believed by some :hat the delegation to the comity :onvention would be instructed :o lend its support to some paricular candidate for the Deri:o-| :ratic presidential nomination, >ut no such acti"ii was taken. Members of tin-executive committee of the local club elected were VV. H. Jop.es. D. A. Lee. J. L. Spratt. \Y. F. Boyd and 1. M. Gamble. The following were named as ielegates from the Fort Mill :!ub to the county convention! vhich meets in Yorkville May 0: C II Otvml/ To/itcr.n IT:imilfnn I tl 11. vi vv;r\, uovnoi/ii huhum v.., . V.

Ardrey was elected i member of the county executive .'ommittee and endorsed as a lelegate to the State convention, ,vith W. S. McClelland as alter- J late. Chester Will Vote on Dispensary. It appears that the supporters )f the movement for an election n Chester county, under the pro/isions of the Lide bill, for the e-establishment of a local dispensary, have succeeded in se:uring the required signatures >f one-fcurth of the registered /oters of the county, and that ;he holding of the election is an issured fact. The petition for the calling of the election will be landed to County Supervisor Shannon on or before April 30th, and the examination of the signa tur^s to such petitions will be taken up May 6th. ?The Lantern. Mr. Finley is Busy. There are some people in this Congressional district who do not realize what an important position the Hon. D. E. Finley occupies in Washington. He is the ranking Democrat on the big postoffice committee of the House of Representatives, and just now he is very busy with the postoffice appropriation bill, which carries one hundred and fifty millions of dollars. The Record feels that this district ought to be very proud of Mr. Finley. He is doing most important work and is now one of the most influential members of the House. ?Rock Hill Record.
