Born Thursday morning to Mayor and Mrs. A. R. McEIhaney, a son. On account of the wrecking i Sunday of northbound passenger train No. 36, due at Fort Mill at 8:50 a. m., the train did not reach this city until 3:30 in the afternoon. The Second primary for the nomination of a matfistrate for Fort Mill township will be held Saturday, next, the polls to open at 8 a. m. and close at 4 p. m. It is expected that a heavy vote will be polled. Fort Mill's streets present an improved appearance since the drags were put to work Monday. This is especially true of a section of East Booth street which had become almost impassable during J the bad weather of the last week, j Mr. C. W. F.ason, who moved from Fort Mill about two years ago to the Waxhaws and later to Pineville, returned to this place the last week and has taken the position of overseer of finishing with the Fort Mill Mfg. company. ?MA* The Fort Mill friends of Mr. S. E. Boney, a few years ago teacher of the Gold Hill school, will be interested to know that he has lately been promoted to the position of city editor of The News and Courier. Mr. Boney is one of the rising young newspaj er men of the State. a j:.??-i~ i .n. t tioii 1iwi uistmiAiii ?;iys that Representative D. E. Fin- | ley has endorsed Francis Bee for postmaster at Gaffney and Leiia J. Huntley for postmaster at Cheraw. It is believed that the appointments will follow soon. Miss Mary Hood* who has; been ill for some time at the j home of relatives in Charlotte, was on Sunday taken to the home of her father, Mr. A. K. Hood, in Pleasant Valley. Miss Hood's condition at last reports was such as to cause great anxiety with her family and friends. The York jury commissioners Tuesday drew twelve grand jurors to serve during the year, and thirty-six petit jurors for the first week of the approaching term of the circuit court. The grand juror drawn from Fort Mill township was S. C. Faris, while among the petit jurors drawn was W. H. Jones of this township. The 24 young men of the town composing the local troop of Boy Scouts were given a very much enjoyed outing Saturday, when, under the care of Mr. W. M. Carothers, the young fellows were taken on a "hike" to the Catawha dam. About 15 miles were covered by the scouts and they were much tired but . happy when they returned to town late in the afternoon The second largest cotton crop j ever grown, amounting to 14,295,500 equivalent 500-pound bales, including linters, was produced by the farmers of the United States during 1912, the census bureau announced Thursday in its preliminary report of the total production of cotton as returned by ginners and de>, linters. A citizen of Fort Mill ha3 asked The Times to suggest the holding of a "clean up" day, such as was held in the town two years ago, and The Times hastens to comply with the request and to indorse the suggestion. ''Clean up" up day is an annual event in many of the South Carolina towns, it being realized that in i no less expensive way can a town be cleaned, thus preventing sickness during the summer months, than by the '"clean up" day method. i Supervisor Boyd and the county commissioners were in Fort Mill ; Saturday and with several citizens looked over the ground for i a proposed change of the Steel Creek road at a point just beyond the incorporate limits. All were in favor of the change, it was said, believing such would i not only prove a great help to travel but that it was a necessity. However, there is oppoi sition, we are told, on the part joftheowners of the land through I wnieh the proposed new stretch j of road would run and it would not be surprising: should the matter be carried to the courts.
