P. Crowder, of i^ower Fort ? M^ljitownship. * J. t MeElhaney has associated v him'eif in the clothes-cleaning bus:e s with H. D. Harkey of the P . I ice Barber shop. J: A. Withers came down from 8 Wo^thville, N. C., Sunday morning and spent the day at the hor ? of his mother Mrs. Elizabeth Withers, in this city. The average yield of corn in South Carolina last year was a little over 17 bushels per acre. These figures must sound very sroall to Jerry Moore and a few others. A recital by the pupils composing the music class of Miss Apnie Russell will be held at the auditorium next Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock. The public is invited to be present. \s the hot weather approaches tlv- police officers of the town b! >uld see that there are no v lations of the ordinance proIji iting the placing of hog pens ijv thin less than 90 feet of residences. ; I The infant daughter of Mr. .find Mrs. A. R. Johnston died Mflpunday at the home of its parents. . I In the village of the Fort Milt \ pifg. company, of membranous j croup and was buried Monday in t (the city cemetery. ( The many Fort Mill friends of 1 Mrs. Frank Kimbrell, of Char- * lotte, will be glad to learn that * she is improving slowly after a successful operation performed ( Friday at a Charlotte hospital. 1 Mrs. Kimbrell became seriously ill about one week ago. The time for the payment of j street tax for 1913, without \ .penalty expires today, the 15th. | There are a number of persons , liable for this tax whcT+mve not j paid up and to escape the penalty, ' delinquents should see the treas-11 urer at once. * , E.' R. Patterson, manager of the dry goods department of the ; Mills & Young company, a few P clays ago bought from the: Methodist church a lot in the rear of the parsonage lot on Booth street, and probably will erect a residence therton in the ' nnot* ftifnt?n A. U WUi V* The board of trustees of the i Yorkville Graded school has reelected Superintendent Wither- ; spoon and the entire present corps of teachers with the exception of Miss Bertha Anderson, who is to take a position elsewhere.?Yorkville Enquirer. Postmaster General Burleson has announced that an executive order would be issued soon requiring all fourth class postmasters now in office or candidates for nomination will be subjected to a competitive examination to determine their fitness for office. It seems doubtful at present whether the Fort Mill camp of Confederate veterans will be represented in the reunion to be held soon at Chattanooga, Tenn. Our old soldiers are getting well up in years and a majority of those who are financially able to go to Chattanooga are unable physically to make the trip. The Times is pleased to learn that Monroe White, who went from this citv to a Philadelohia hospital about ten days ago for treatment, has improved considerably during the last few days. It is thought now that Mr. W hite will be able to return I to his home here within a short time. In accordance with the notice given by the York county court house commission, bids for the i $7?,000 of court house bonds will be opened today at noon in the office of J. S. Brice, chairman of the commission, at Yorkville. It is not believed that the bidding will be spirited, and it is doubted by some whether the commission will be able to afTect an advantageous sale of the bonds. Just why someone should wish to inj ure him by killing his milch cow is a qaesfrisn that is k vcrrying Robt. Porter, a colored armer of the township. Porter nissed his cow on Sunday and opposed that she had been itolen or had strayed from the >asture into which she had been urned early in the day. The legro searched the community >ut learned nothing of his missng cow until Tuesday afternoon, vhen, on seeing a swarm of uitures near the pasture, went o the 8pot and found his cow lead, with her throat cut. 'orter hasn't an enemy, that he mows of and is greatly per lexed to know why anyone hould have committed the deed, le is a hard-working colored man nd the loss of the cow falls ery heavily on him. Will Straighten Public Road. Of interest to the public in :eneral and particularly to the >eople of Upper Fort Mill is the tatement that the Steel Creek oad will in the near future be traightened and shortened at a soint just north of the incorporite limits of the town. This vas the decision reached Tueslay after a several hours' conerence between the Commisiioners of York County and Col. ..eroy Springs, through whose and the new road will be built, t is understood that the county s to pay Col. Springs $300 for he right of way through his and. Starting at a point just berond the incorporate limit, the lew road will bear to the left, 'ollowing a fidge, and will join he old road at a point about a lalf mile above, near where the >ld Philadelphia church formerly stood. The new road will be 3ractically level, having, it is said, just about the right slope irain it well. The old road in ;hat vicinity has for years been 1 source of worry and expense :o the county. There are several Tills on it and during the winter season the road required almost constant attention. The new road will entirely do away with :hese hills and, besides being several hundred yards shorter, will require less work and consequently will be of less expense to the county. An OlTBible. Mr. W. H. Hood has what is perhaps one of the oldest Bibles in this country, one that very probably crossed the Atlantic acean many years before the first steamship breasted the waves. This historic old book has come through at least four generations and no one knows just how many more. Mr. Hood's mother has passed her i ightieth year. Iler grandfather moved his family from Ireland Lo this country when her father was only two years old. The Bible was handed down by this old Irishman to his children, by them to their children, and now his great-grandson, Mr. Hood, has it. It will doubtless be handed on down to other generations. The volume is bound in heavy leather, and is all intact with the exception that the first fifteen chapters of Genesis are gone. During the Civil war it was buried with other valuables to protect it from the raids of the Yankees. While underground it got wet and was somewhat damaged, but it is all very legible yet.?Waxhaw Enterprise. Best Medicine for Colds. When a druggist recommends a remedy for colds, throat and lung troubles, you can feel sure that he knows what he is talking about. C. Lower, Druggist, of Marion, Ohio, writes of Dr. lung s New Discovery: "I know Dr. King's New Discovery is the best throat and lung meoicine I sell. It cured my wife of a severe bronchial cold after all other remedies failed." It will do the same for you if you are suffering with a cold or any bronchial throat or lung cough. Keep a bottle on hand all the time for everyone in the family to use. It is a home doctor Price 50 and $1.00. Guaranteed by Fort Mill Drug Co., Massey's Drug Store and Ardrey's Drug Store.
