t f ? I I I. ! ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST. B* - \v * I i v The best price offered for cotton on the local market today is 9 cents. A small hose house has been erected by the town on the vacant lot fronting the postoffice. i The Baraca class of the Fort , * Mill Baptist church will be given ; an ice cream supper in the class room this evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Boyd, of L,nariotte, were guests bunday in the home of Mrs. Augustr Culp, in this city. On account of the Confederate ! Veterans' Reunion, June 1, 2 and 3, the Southern Railway will operate special trains between Columbia and Richmond, Va., on May 31. The round trip rate from Fort Mill is $6.25. The Times is requested to state that the next meeting of the Pa-1 rent Teachers' club will be held i Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock in the school auditorium. All members requested to be present. A play entitled "The Count of No Account" was presented i.i j the school auditorium Tuesday i by the young people of Gold Hill section. The play was given under the auspices of the local Baraca class and was highly pleasing to all present. Fort Mill friends of Mr. V. B. Blankenship, of Rock Hill, will regret to learn tnat ne is a patient in a hospital in that city, j following a serious operation on Wednesday of last week. Last reports were to the effect that ^ he was getting along nicely. I The report of W. M. Carothers, ; registrar for Fort Mill township * to the bureau of vital statistics ' for the month of April shows i that there were five deaths and 11 births during the month. Of these two deaths and three j births were among negroes. The town of Fort Mill was "on its good behavior" Saturday night and Sunday, not a single arrest having been made by the police officers. This was in great contrast to the previous week end, when the fines and forfeitures amounted to $47.50. In spite of the very threatening weather of Friday a good crowd was present at the closing exercises of the Pleasant Valley school, which on that day wound up a very successful term. The - leading feature of interest was an address by E. J. Watson, ! commissioner of agriculture. ^ Friends of Mr. J. H. McMurray, who was stricken ill about ten days ago and taken to a Charlotte hospital for treatment, will be pleased to know that he was able on Monday to return to his home in this city. Mr. McMurray is slowly improving - and it is the hope of all that he will soon fully recover. At a special meeting in Columbia ljtst Thursday called by Gov. Manning, it was decided to hold the encampment of the First Regiment this year on one of the islands near Charleston, time and place to be selected later. Capt. T. B. Spratt and Lieut. S. W. Parks, of the local y- military organization, attended the meeting in Columbia Thursday. rThe Times has been requested by a lady resident to ask city council, or whoever such duty might properly fall upon, to have the cannon balls which belong in Confederate Park put back in their proper places. At presgnt the balls are half imbedded in a ditch outside the ^ park, and this lady very rightly thinks they should be given | attention. Twice-a-week rehearsals are k to being held for a play, "A m Daughter of the Desert," to be ; given by local talent at the audiW torium the evening of Friday, i ? May 28, the receipts from which | are to be divided equally with the local Parent Teachers' Club and the school library. The play Iis said to be exceptionally good, and a large crowd doubtles will go out to see it. School Board Elects Teachers.
