ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST.
Born Friday to Mr. and Mrs.
1? R. Garrison, a son.
V. B. Blankenship, a well
known business man of Rock
Hill, was a visitor to Fort Mill
Monday.
Rev. G. VV. Cheek, of Mint,
Hill, N. C.. will preach at the;
Fort Mill Preshvterian church
next Sunday morning and night.
A partial eclipse of the sun is
due. according to the almanacs,
this mornins at 10 o'clock and
will be visible here, the weather
permitting.
There was no preaching at the
local Presbyterian church on last
Sabbath, the minister who was
invited to fill the pulpit being
unable to attend.
The United States senate the
last week confirmed the appointment
of the Fort Mill postmaster,
Mr. B. Henry Massev, who has
filled the position for something
like 25 years.
Fort Mill men drawn as jurors
for the second week of the
February term of the civil court
for York county are: W. B.
Ardrey, B. C. Ferguson, Bert
Nivens. P. L. Sneed, S. P. Wilson.
The condition of Hon. J. R.
Haile, who has been ill for
several weeks at his home five
miles north of Fort Mill, has
improved to such an extent that
he is now able to be up and
about.
A meeting of the local Parent
Teachers' Club will be held in
the school auditorium Friday
afternoon at 4 o'clock and all
parties interested are urged to
attend.
^The Times was in error the
last week in saying that D. A.
Lee, of Foit Mill, was in attendance
upon the United States
court at Greenwood. It is this
week that Mr. Lee is in Greenwood,
having left for that city
Monday morning.
A public sale-which was at
tended by a large crowd on Main
street Saturday morning was
that of the accounts of Massey's
Drug store, bankrupt. The
accounts aggregated about $400
and were bought by 0. T. Culp,
the amount paid for the accounts
being $4.05.
The mock trial given Friday
evening by the pupils of the
Fort Mill graded school was a
most gratifying success to the
promoters. The receipts which
went to the Parent-Teachers'
club and the athletic association
of the school amounted to upwards
of $30. It is not unlikely
that the play will be repeated in
the near future.
M. Shultz, a young man who
hails from Baltimore, has rented
the room next the local postoffice
and will within a few days
install the necessary machinery
fnr 5i mndf>rn fivprv Mr
Shultz has had experience in his
business and promises the people
of Fort Mill and community
first class work on shoes and at
r. r.sonable prices.
John Cannup, a young man
employed at the plant of the
Charlotte Brick company, at
Grattan, Thursday suffered serious
injury in a fall at the company's
commissary. Mr. Cannup
had ascended the stairs on the
outside of the building and to
speak to a friend had leaned
against the rail surrounding the
landing. The railing gave away
and precipitated the man to the
ground below, a distance of
about 20 feet. He was taken to
a Charlotte hospital Friday for
treatment and at last reports he
was improving and is expected
to recover within a short time.
Fort. Mill people generally will
be interested to know that Rev.
Porter M. Bailes, a former Gold
i Hill man, has taken charge of a
1
church at La Grantee, Ky. Rev.
Mr. Bailes has been located in
Louisville, Ky., and has taken a
post-graduate course in the
Southern Baptist Theological
seminary. La Grange, the town i
to which Mr. Bailes has moved,
is about 25 miles out from Louisville,
has a population of 1,500
and his church has a membership
of 350.
The Times is informed that
one of the wateroak trees in the i
yard of the Millfort mill has up |
to the present retained its last1
year's foliage and today is as j
green as it was last summer.
There are a number of the trees
along the street and, with the
exception of this particular oak,
the trees shed their leaves last
fall as is nature's rule.
W. E. Griffin, who conducts a
mercantile business just beyond
the eastern incorporate limits of
the town, contemplates the
erection of a store house in the
near future at the intersection
of Booth and Rocky streets in
the eastern part of town. Mr.
Griffin will move his stock to the
new building when it is comj
pleted.

To The Public.
We, the physicians of Fort Mill, in
consultation believe that Fort Mill and
the vicinity demand the services of
] three medical men, since three have
practiced nere lor me past <25 years.
Now, owing to the high cost of
living, we have been unable to make a
1 living for the past two or three years
and conclude the only remedy is to
raise the price of our services to the
same fees as the physicians of surrounding
towns, viz:
For visits in town $1.50
Outside town limit up to 2 miles 2.00
For each additional mile above 2 .50
For night calls, extra 1.00
Obstretical cases $15 and upward.
Moreover, we agree to send statements
monthly for our services the
same as other business men. All delinquents
are urged to settle their
accounts at once. Those who cannot
pay will be placed on the charity list.
'I hose who will not will be placed on
another list. These changes in fees
to take eirect on the first of February,
1016.
