Harris is making some notable improvements to his residence on White street. Mr. Robt. Williamson, of the township, has taken a position with the Parks Drug company. Lest you forget, the time for 1 the payment of city taxes, without penalty expres November 15. Mr. S. L. Capps. cf Gurdon, Ark., is spending several weeks with relatives in Fort Mill and the township. Mr. J. C. Boatwright, of Pineville, was a visitor to Fort Mill Friday and paid The Times a pleasant call. Mr. Eli Parks, of Summerfielri, N. C., a former resident of Fort Mill, spent Sunday and Mt>nday with relatives in this city. Mr. Jas. H. Patterson has opened a restaurant in the Watson building, next door to the1 local postoifice, on Confederate street. | Mr. John Carothers, of Wake Forest college, was a recent visitor at the home of his father, Mr. W. M. Carothers, in this city. Rev. C. Kingsley, of Pineville, is conducting a ten-days' meeting at Dade City, Fla. Before returning home Rev. Mr. Kingsley \v ill visit his former home at Lees burg, Fla. Messrs. Bailes and Link, the locai real estate and insurance l men, on Monday moved their of-1 fice from the Sav ings Bank building to the up-.-tairs front room of V the Ardrey drug store building on Main street. Miss Mary Denton and Mr. Ebb Meritt, two young people of the Millfort mill village, were married Sunday afternoon by Magistrate John W. McElhaney. The marriage took place at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. J. D. Wilson, in the mill vilhge. Z. V. Bradford, of Rock Hill, was the last week awarded the contract for the erection 01 a large warehouse to be erected by the Fort Mill Mfg. company. The building will be two stories high, 50x100 feet, and will be built in the rear of the mill. Mr. J. J. Coltharp. of the township, on November 1 b< ;.'an duty as a member of the city's police force. For a number of years Mr. Coltharp has been constable to Magistrate J. W. McElhaney and the experience gained in that position doubtless will serve him well in dealing with the town's lawbreakers. The Sandy River Baptist Association (colored) nut the last week with Bethlehem church in this city. There are 53 churches in the association and these were represented by about 100 delepates. During the meeting of the association $1,200 was subscribed for educational and mission work. The local chapter of the U. D. \ C. has presented to the Foit Mill gruikd school a handsome portrait of Gen. Stonewall Jackson. Exercises appropriate to the occasion, in which the pupils of the school will take part, will be held in the auditorium Friday evening, when the picture will be presented. The Times is requested to announce that there will be a conference meeting, with divine service, at Fiat Hill Baptist church next Saturday morning at 11 o'clock. Also, there will be ail-day service at the church * Sunday, dinner to be served on the church grounds. Miss Minnie Lee Garrison, supervisor of the York Girls' Tomato clubs, has requested the i- - ?... 4.^ newspapers 01 me i-uumj iu that all who expect to attend the meeting in York\ille on November 23, at which time the prizes will be awarded, send their names to Prof. J. H. Witherspoon, Yorkville, at an early date so that free entertainment may be provided for them. New Court House for York. The question of an issue of $75,000 in bonds for a new court house was the main point of interest in the election in York county Tuesday. The result of the election is that York county will have a new court house, the majority in favor of the bonds being more than 150. Scuth Carolina's Baptists. The Baptist State convention, which will hold its annual session in Abbeville early in December, is the largest religious body in the State, says a dispatch to the News and Courier. The last United States census figures of religious denominations, puts down the leading denominations in South Carolina as folows: 51.3 per cent of the total church membership, Baptist; Methodist, 37.4 percent; Presbyterians, 5.3 per cent; Lutherans, 1.9 per cent;! Human Catholic. 1.5 per cent; Protestant Episcopal. 1.3 per cent; all others, 1.3 percent. It will thus be seen that the Baptists constitute more than half the total membership of all the! churches. The Convention will be attended by about 400 delegates. about 65 per cent of whom will be laymen. In this denomination, preachers have no extra rignts uy vmuc wj men wuvi, but are elected as delegates by churches just as laymen ae. Probably the chief source of strength of the Baptists is their home mission work. In every State there is a mission board, whose only duty is to develop the denomination within the bounds of its own State. There is also a mission board for the South, and one for the North. These two general home mission boards co-operate with these State boards, strengthening the weak by the help of the strong. For forty-two years there has been a mission hoard among the Baptists in South Carolina. .More than half of the white Baptist churches now in the State have been helped by this board, and innumerable colored bodies. There are today no less than 553 white Baptist churches in South Carolina which were organized or fostered by this board. It is the policy of this hoard to help churches for a limited number of years, and it is a rare case where aid is extended for more than four or five years* save in a most limited degree. The purpose of the board is to develop weak churches, not to support them. important lo Teachers. The first meeting cf the York county T( achers' association for this year will be held in Yorkvilleon Saturday, November 9. Prof. Rerr.bert, of Wofford College, will make the main address. The following subjects will be discussed: "The Gradation of a Rural School," "The Importance of School Records and Reports," and the "Proper Use of the Elementary School Manual." There will be some other additions of a pleasurable nature. The county board will renew the certificates of all teachers at the end of this session for successful experience in their present schools, provided they attend three of the four meetings to be held this session. Please notify Mr. J. H. VYitherspoon, of Yorkvllle, at once as to whether or not you will attend. F. W. Moore, Sec'y York Teachers' Assn. Intemperance on the Increase. The American people are drinking more whiskey and beer and smoking more cigars and cigarettes than ever before in history, u?/.nr/ii>Kr tr? t.sY rptiims received avvvi viiuj, w w..? - by Royal E. Cabell, commissioner of internal revenue. From July 1 ro October 4,1912. more than 3,300,000,000 cigarettes were smoked, an increase of one billion over the corresponding period of the previous year, which broke all records. The nation con: timed 33,159,000 gallons of whiskey during July, August and Sept -mber, an increase of 410,000 ga as c ? nI pared with that quarter of 1911. j while neuriv l,95o,'K;0 cigars were smoked during mat time. The cigar consumption promises to establish a new iccord. A total of 19,800,0 <0 Parrels of beer were consumed duii> g the three mo ltiis which was 329,000 barrels more than in the same period of 1911. This somewhat surprised revenue officials abeer drinking fell off considerably during the fiscal year ending June 30 last. The d crease was 1 partly accounted for by Comi missioner Cabell by t ie increased popularity of buttermilk as a summer d.ink. The growing consumption o! these articles has greatiy augmented the Geveniment's revenue. Honor Roll of Missicu School. Foliowi ;< ' is t! o honor roil of the Mission scn? Mrs. J.

Some people are like some streams more muddy than deep. The muddiness may deceive for a time but its true character is ultimately discovered. Don't make quantity more important than quality. The best work is that which takes time, and now-a-days it is the best work that is wanted. It is never a disgrace to earn our own bread provided the work itself is right; the disgrace comes in having someone else earn it I for us. Roosevelt a Lucky Man. Whether Dame Fortune will next week again land Theodore Roosevelt in the White House c.nnot of course he stated at this time, but the Colonel has Keen a very lucky man in the past. Aside from several narrow es- 1 capes in the African jungles arid ] his close call at the hands of a h would-be assassin in Milwaukee ' a few weeks ago, Roosevelt has ' without serious injury tigured in J a number of other accidents dur- . ing the last few years. i Probably the most serious ac- ' cident in which he figured was in 1905 when his carriage was ] struck by a trolley car near Pitts- < field, Mass., and a secret service ; man was killed. On that oc- j casion Mr. Roosevelt was thrown j heavily to the ground, hut escaped with a few contusions. j1 Three years later, in uctoner, 1908, the Colonel was journeying ] down the Mississippi river on the light-house tinder Magnolia, 1 when the vessel was run down , by a steamer. The Magnolia ( was beached befo:e it could sink ( and Mr. Roosevelt was taken off. 1 Only Iclst summer the train on f which Mr. Roosevelt was going , to Chicago ran into a boulder t that had rolled onto the track. The engine and cars, running at 1 high speed, swayed and jolted, but surmounted the obstruction and did not leave the tracks.?Ex Saves Leg of Boy.

HARRY E. NEIL, Treasurer of York County. "PAT." I was born in Ireland and served my apprenticeship in the Dyeing of all grades of goods in Alexandria, Scotland. I have been in the United States 11 years, between the North and South, an I 1 have been doing nothing but Dyeing and Cleaning since Cleveland's administration, 28 years ago. I have been in Fort Mill for seven years. And, think of it, not even a single complaint has been heard or said about my work. [ don't make my living like a mosquito : bite. I believe I can take a pinetop, a bucket of molasses, a bucket of tar, one gallon of varnish and one bushel of day, mixed well together, and working by moonlight can do better dyeing than i unything that has hit Fort Mill in the j last seven years.
