M. M. Coltharp, a former resident
of this city, was a business
visitor to Fort Mill Monday. Mr.
Coltharp is now traveling representative
of the Atlanta Journal.
I
^ Mr. T. A. Kiser left Fort Mill
Monday evening for his home in
Palestine, Texas, after a visit of
ten days in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. C. Bayne and other relatives
in this community.
r
Announcement is made that
beginning with Monday, May 2,
Saturdays excepted, the dry
goods stores of the town, together
with a number of the
grocery stores will close evenings
at 7 o'clock. This rule it is
understood will obtain until
September 1st.
The handsome new storeroom
of Mr. L. J. Massey, on Main
street, is now near the point of
completion, the carpenters being
engaged in finishing ud the interior
of the room. This building
when completed will be one
of the handsomest business
houses in the town.
The local school baseball club
went over to Yorkville Friday
afternoon and were defeated in
a one-sided game of ball with
the high school team of that
town. One of the players on
the local team stated that the
defeat was due to the fact that
his team was simply outclassed
by the Yorkville boys.
Many of the farmers of this
vicinity have this week com- ^
pleted the planting of cotton
and are now wishing for a good
season to bring the plants up. 1
The ground hereabouts is reported
to have become very dry
and hard since the heavy downpour
of rain some two weeks |
ago. . The
Fort Mill Livestock as
sociation sustained a heavy loss
one day the last week in the
death of "Irisage," the thorough-!
bred Percheron stallion, purchased
by the association about
two years ago. The horse was j
valued at $1,500 and died on the
P* plantation of W. B. White in
Lower Fort Mill.
No, dearest, business in Fort
Mill is not at a standstill because
an individual wished to know if
the merchants were "tired of
doing nothing." As a matter
fact, business is today better in
the town than it has been at any
time since last fall. Not only in
the mercantile line, but in all
lines our people are busy, and,
what's better, conditions are
steadily improving.
Patrons of the local postoffice I
will be interested to know that
mail matter intended for stations :
along the Charleston division of
the Southern will reach its;
destination the day of posting ii
placed on train No. 36, passing
Fort Mill at 8:50 a. m. If the |
mail is posted on train No. 27, ,
going south at 5:40 p. m. it will
not reach points on the Charleston
division until the following
day.

night shot and killed another
negro, Hamp Witherspoon. At
the coroner's inquest it was
brought out that Witherspoon
had lived for some time in the
home of Cureton and that they
were good friends until Friday
night, when an argument arose
between the two with the result
stated. Cureton was committed
to York jail to await trial on the
charge of murder.
The closing exercises of the
Gold Hill school, in Upper Fort
Mill, will take place this, Thursday,
evening, beginning at
8 o'clock. The exercises will
consist of songs, drills, plays
and so on, and judging from the
progam, the exercises will be
fully as elaborate and interesting
as in former years. On tomor-;
row, a large crowd is expected i
I
to again gather at the Gold Hill {
school to enjoy a picnic dinner, 1
following which the Hon. John
L. McLaurin is to make an address.
At night Mr. McLaurin
will address the people of Fort
Mill from the stand in Confederate
Park and it is expected
that a large number of people of
the town and township will be
out to hear him.

It now seems that a wholesale
election of teachers will be
necessary to make up the faculty
of the Fort Mill graded school
for the term of 1915-16. At a
meeting of the board of trustees
of the institution Monday afternoon
J. Pierce Coats, who has
had charge of the school for the
last two terms, and was recently
elected for the next term, tendered
his resignation. It is
stated that Prof. Coats will teach
next session in the public schools
of Beaufort. It is also said that
at least six of the teachers of
the advanced grades have declined,
or will not apply for,
their respective positions for the
term of 1915-16.
