The program of the exercises is published in full in another column of The Times. Messrs. J. J. Bailes and C. S. Link have formed a co-partnership for the sale of real estate, tire and life insurance, and in another column of The Times ask the people of this vicinity for a share of their patronage. Messrs. Link and Bailes have taken an office in the Savings bank building. A meeting of those interested in the project will be held shortly to consider the feasibility of having a York County Poultry and Fair association and the outlook is that the move will receive the hearty endorsement of the business men of not only Rock Hill, but of other sections of the county as well.?Rock Hill Herald. The Times is in receipt of a clipping from an Americus, Ga., newspaper in which it is stated that W. M. Crook, formerly of Fort Mill, has been selected as one of the organizers of a company which proposes to build a railroad from St. Mary's, Fla., to Amercus. Mr. Crook is engaged in the real estate business and is always active in any movement for the development of Americus anq the outlying districts of the city. Sunday's papers carried the announcement of the sudden death at his home in Washington City of John J. Hemphill, a native of Chester.

"The York county approach to the Roddey bridge across the Catawba, near Ivy's Mill, has been completed and the Lancaster side is being gotten in condition for travel. As soon as the approach on the Lancaster side is completed the people living in that section will have easy access to Rock Hill.?Rock Hill Herald. Happy thought!

State Boosters to Organize. j A movement is on foot to or- = ganize the business associations of the State into a State organization, says The News and 1 Courier. This organization will 1 co-operate and work together J for the general improvement of the State along every line. They will endeaver to advertise the resources and advantages of South Carolina throughout the nation.

Messrs. Wood, of Spartanburg; Hambv, of Columbia, and McKeand, of Charleston, have been appointed a committee to organize this body. The cities that have approved this movement to date, and who will work together in this organization are: Charleston, Columbia, Spartanburg, Florence, j Orangeburg, Sumter, Rock Hill, Union and Greenwood. It is expected that a favorable reply will be received by the committee i from the other leading cities within the next few days. As will be seen by the notice appearing elsewhere in this issue, the Town Council has ordered an election to pass upon the question as to whether the town limits will be extended so as to include the territory within one mile limit uith the court house as the center. The present limits extend only one-half mile.- Lancaster News. Rev. G. C. Epps ret urned to Fort Mill Tuesday from Maiden, N.

Army posts all over the country have been ordered from Washington to hold their men In readiness to mdve on the Mexican border on a moment's notice. This was admitted by the war department a few days ago. following the receipt of a second report from Colonel Steever, commanding the American forces at El Paso, Texas, relative to the shooting of Private Baker, of the Twenty-second infantry. The state and war departments have made no secret of their fear that a new uprising, more anarchical than that which was begun three months ago, will sweep over interior Mexico, making necessary the most stringent measures by the United States to protect lives and property on this side of the line. Fewer Killed, More Injured. Two hundred and forty-two persons were killed and 4,706 were injured in train accidents in the United States during the quarter ending ' December 31, 1911, according to an accident bulletin issued a few days ago by the Inter-State commerce commission.

It already had passed the Seriate and now goes to the President. All that remains to be done is the formal signing of the instrument and the issuance of a aroclamation to the States to signify their wjshes o? the promised change. The vote was preceded by a bitter fight, in vhich the Southern members joined common cause against the esolution. Contract to Let.
