SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST
to TIMES READERS.
Mrs. Fannie Culp, of Pineville,
is the guest of her daughter,
Mrs. W. R. Bradford, of this
city.
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.

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.

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."

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

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. ]
