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.

to fill out the unexpired term of
Mr. Hafner.?Rock Hill Record.

Among the most important
things agreed upon was a change
