Quite a number of Fort Mill people have attended the 20th of May celebration in Charlotte this week. Miss Sadie Bailes, of Flint Hill, has been the guest for several davs of Miss Nettie Bradford on East Booth street, this city. The Legare Construction company hope, with favorable weather, to finish the paving of Fort Mill's Main street the present week. If you owe a subscription to The Times, the amount is needed to run the paper, and the publisher will appreciate a prompt settlement. I Mrs. J. T. McGregor and little son, James T. Jr., were visitors the past week at the homeof Mrs. McGregor's mother, Mrs. Augusta Culp. in this city. An infant of Mr. and Mrs. Hicks Montgomery, residents of the Millfort mill village, died Sunday evening and was buried Monday in the city cemetery. Misses Sallie Vest, Julia Anderson and Maude Capp, of Rural Hall, N. C., are guests of Miss Vest's sister, Mrs. E. W. Russell, on Forest street, this city. The Parks Drug Co. has recently made a decided improvement to its refreshment parlor by the installation of an electric ice cream freezer. Work on the new Belk storehouse on Main street was begun Monday morning and will be pushed to completion with all haste. Contractor A. A. Bradford is doing the construction work. Strawberries are more plentiful hereabouts this season than for several years. Almost any ; time one may look upon the j streets and see numbers of negroes offering the berries for sale. The market price is 10 cents the quart. Ed Strong, colored, was fined $25 Saturday evening by Mayor McElhaney for retailing. Strong was caught by Officer Potts in the vicinity of the Southern station, while the former was in the act of delivering a pint of whiskey to a white man. The Times is requested to say that the entertainment which was to have been given Friday evening in the auditorium by the young ladies' missionary society of the Presbyterian church has been postponed until a later date. At the school exercises of Monday night all those in the rear of the auditorium keenly felt the need of an elevated floor in the room. This is another and much needed improvement that could be made to the school building by the expenditure of a few hundred dollars. Her many friftyds in this section and elsewhere will be pleased to know that there has been a slight change for the better in the condition of MiS. Roberta Elliott, who has been dangerously ill for several days at her home on Confederate street, this city. It is the hope of all that Mrs. Elliott will soon be restored to health. Since me Closing r aiua; vi nit graded school, one misses the throng of children going to and from the school each day. During the long summer days the boys and girls should not forget their books entirely, but look them up occasionally and keep afresh in their minds what they have learned the session just closed. By doing this it will be much easier for the chili ren to keep up when the next session begins. The commissioners of York and Lancaster counties are to meet today (Wednesday) at the Doby's bridge site on Sugar creek for the purpose of awarding a contract for the rebuilding of the br'dge which was washed away by the freshet of several weeks ago. A great deal of the material from the old bridge has been taken from the creek and will be used in the new structure. It is the hope of the people oi upper Lancaster county and Fort Mill as well that the work ol building the bridge will go forward without interruption and that the road will be open tr travel in a short time. t i 1 Fort Mill School Closes. The 1912 commencement exercises of the Fort Mill graded and high school began Sunday morning at 11 o'clock with the baccalaureate sermon by the Rev. Joel S. Snyder, pastor of the First Baptist church of Chester. (The spacious auditorium of the new school building was filled to its capacity. Rev. Mr. Snyder chose for his text the scriptural question, "What shall my life do for me?" I The speaker handled his subject in a masterful manner and was given close attention throughout his discourse by the large crowd present. Monday evening at 8:30 o'clock the second exercise of the commencement program was carried through and again the auditorium 1 was crowded. The exercises of j the evening consisted of an 1 educational address by Dr. Geo. A. Wauchope, of the University of South Carolina, which was j both interesting and eloquent, > instrumental and vocal music, j drills, etc. The prize of $5 in . gold, offered by the local chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy to the scholar making the highest average in the study of American history, was divided 'equally between Masters Heath I Belk and John A. Boyd, Capt. J. W. Ardrey presenting the ! prizes. Then followed the award| ing of two medals, of gold and j silver, to the two music pupils who had made the greatest progress during the term. Master ! Jas. T. Young, as the most progressive advanced pupil, was given the gold medal, while little Miss Alice Bradford was considered the most proficient of the first-year scholars and was awarded the silver medal, Capt. Ardrey also presenting these prizes. The evening's exercises closed with a goqd night drill by the primary girls. Tuesday morning's exercises, from the point of originality, surpassed any of the commencement. These exercises consisted principally of the reading of papers prepared by the members of the graduating class, no /il.ico Wiefnru nrnnhppv 2>UV*I1 CIO tiaoo uicwi j | |/kV|/i>vvj, essay, poem and will, and so well were the several subjects i handled that it would indeed be difficult to determine which excelled. The "Class Song" composed by Misses Lana Parks and Mamie Jack Massey completed the morning's program. The most pleasing and beautiful spectacle of the commencement was the May pole and daisy chain on the school grounds late Tuesday afternoon, the same being witnessed by a vast throng of both old and young people. At 8:30 o'clock the people again assembled in the auditorium for the exercise which concluded the program. Following the opening song, was the salutatory address by Miss Mary Potts, after which came vocal and instrumental music and the awarding of diplomas to the graduates, Misses Lana Parks, Mamie Jack Massey, Lula Haile, j Ruth Meacham, Robbie Howie, Mary Potts and Mr. Parks Boyd. The evening's program was concluded with a valedictory by Parks Boyd. The closed session of the Fort Mill school has been one of the most successful in the history of the institution, and at the conclusion of the exercise Tuesday morning Supt. Moore heartily thanked the trustees, parents and assistant teachers for their cooperation in making the term so successful. For a County Fair. A great deal of interest is being taken in the proposed York County Poultry and Fair association, says the Rock Hill Herald, and since it was announced several days ago that a meeting of those interested would be held in the near future a number of prominent farmers from various sections of the county, as well as ; business men in Yorkville and Fort Mill, have stated that they were heartily in favor of such an organization and would give it their hearty support. The date for the meeting, at which the matter will be threshed out and decided upon, has not been fixed, but it is probable that it will be held within a ; couple of weeks. Those who are sounding the business people of the county feel so encouraged over the manner in which the proposition is being received that they will try to get the men interestsd together at an early date and organize in time to hold the nitial poultry show and fair this a 11. W31 Remove Ugly "Hump." That the "hump" in the sidewalk of Main street, at the site of the old public well, will soon be removed, is causing rejoicing among the business men of that particular portion of the street as well as with all Fort Millians who desire to see every possible improvement made to the town's principal street. The removal of that "hump" will complete the improvement of in street, the paving ot ; which is now well under way. i The work of removing and re' placing the cement pavement will, we are told, be caniedoul ! by day laborers hired by the city, and the street committee has i given its assurance that the worl< will be taken up in a very short i time. 1 If there is any typographical deformity in the city that has : been a greater eyesore or thai ; has disfigured the business sec : tion more than that "hump," th< - people of the town have failed t< I locate it But soon the "hump" i is going to disappear and a bif improvement will be nuide. The Flint Hill Baraca Class. The Baraca class of Flint Hill < Baptist church met Sunday afternoon and reorganized by the election of the following members j as officers for the year: G. D. Smith, president; W. T. ' Boyd, vice-president; S. Q. Gar- j rison, teacher; J. S. Blankenship, assistant teacher; J. M. Smith, 11 secretary and treasurer; G. C. 1 Osborne, assistant secretary. It is the purpose of the mem-j j bers of the Flint Hill Baraca toi, make it the banner class of this ? section of the country. ... ! i Checks Not Good for Taxes. That the county treasurers of the State have no authority to < accept anything other than j i money tor payment 01 taxes was the ruling given lately by Comptroller General A W. Jones in a 1 letter to the sheriff of Union county. The comptroller general holds that a check for payment ( of taxes is not legal. I The following is the letter to ' the Union county official: "Your letter of the 4th inst., i| in reference to action under an !, execution issued by the county treasurer to enforce the payment of taxes therein mentioned, " for which a check had been , given the county treasurer and accepted by him, but which check was refused payment by i the bank, has been received. t "I beg to .advise that you < should proceed to execute the executions issued to you by the county treasurer. The county . treasurer had no authority in 1 law to accept anything other 1 than money for payment of taxes, ! and although the party delivering the check obtained the possession 1 of the tax receipts from the jj treasurer, these receipts are 5 s :bjeci: to explanation by his r testimony in court, and will be ? held void, and no defense against the execution inasmuch as the State never received the money on the check." I W. R. Thompson Goes to Lancaster. ] Waddy R. Thompson, lor sev- j 1 nAAMAfni?tr M?ul f?*DOClirOr erai years scei cku j auu n vaoui vi of the Fort Mill Mfg. company of this city has returned to . Lancaster, where he will assume ' the duties of auditor in the ? general offices of Col. Leroy c Springs. Mr. Thompson's re- ( moval to Lancaster comes in the ( way of promotion as a reward . for the excellent manner in 1 which he has conducted the ? business affairs of the two mills i since coming to Fort Mill. He < has many friends in this city , who will wish for him continued success in his work. Mr. Thomp- 1 son will be succeeded as secre- i tury and treasurer of the Fort t Mill Mfg. company by Mr. Frank Lewis, who has been a clerk in the company's office for some time. W. H. Stewart, who is building a residence on his farm near Raeford, N. C., had the misfortune to have the sawmill, < with which the lumber used in 1 the building was being sawed, t burned several days ago. Mr. ] Stewart, who has served York 1 County in tin? capacity of State Senator for several years, was ( arranging to move his family to ( North Carolina as soon as the l residence was completed. j T. M. Hughes, of Lancaster, 1 was a business visitor to Fort Mill yesterday. !
