Taleohone. local and lontr distance. No. 112. Entered at the ooatoifice at Fort Mill. S. C.. as mall matter of the second class. THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1916. The general assembly convenes at noon on next Tuesday. The two issues which are expected to take up a large portion of the session is prohibition and compulsory school attendance. It is to be hoped that in considering new phases of the former question our law makers will inject into the law a clause which will put a stop to the whiskey dealers of Virginia and Florida making a dumping ground of Fort Mill and other border towns for whiskey ordered by North Carolinians. It begins to look as if the position on the local public works commission is to go lacking of a candidate. But then, there is W. B. Ardrey, who has most acceptably filled the place since the commission was created and we believe his election for another term would be perfectly acceptable to the voters of the town. it wouia not oe surprising should the price of a very popular automobile take a sudden v rise. It takes a lot of money, you know, to conduct a peace party to Europe. The Christmas spirit sticks well ,in Rock Hill. The big Christmas tree is still in position apd the colored globes have not been removed from the "white way." Next Tuesday is town election day. Vote early, once and wisely. Pastoral Relations Dissolved. At a meeting of Bethel Presbytery held here last week at the mar.se of the First Presbyterian church, pastoral relations were dissolved as follows: Rev. J. T. Dendy to King's Mountain Presbytery, to take charge of the church at Belmont, N. C.; Rev. W. A. Hafner, from Fort Mill to Enoree Presbytery, to take charge of Limestone church at Gaffney. Mr. Hafner has been Stated Clerk of the Presbytery since the death of Dr. Neville, and has spent all of his ministerial life in Bethel Presbytery. Rev. J. A. McMurray, pastor of Bethesda, was elected to fill out the unexpired term of Mr. Hafner.?Rock Hill Record. Important Meeting of Methodists.
