, FORT MILL COTTON MARKET. Cotton, per lb 111 Seed, per bu .60 ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST. ^ The open season for killing partridges in this state closed Tuesday. Miss Kittie Kirkpatrick, of the Statesville Female college, Statesville. N. C.. spent the week-end in the home of her parents in this city. ' The Rev. W. A. Hafner, who some time ago resigned the pastorate of the Fort Mill Presbyterian church, was formally installed as pastor of Limestone Presbyterian church, GafTney, on last Sunday. A veritable blizzard swept in from the northwest Saturday night and for a brief time was accompanied by snow. All night and throughout Sunday high winds prevailed and the weather was as bitter as any this winter. Robbins, those birds of the north, that begin to come south toward the end of winter, are beginning to make their appearance in this section, although not in large numbers as yet. Tuesday was the last day on which state and county taxes could be paid with a penalty of two per cent. Parties who have not paid will now have to add seven per cent, and if payment is not made before the l.^th executions will be issued against all delinquents. Snow, which attaining an estimated depth of two inches, began falling in this section Monday afternoon about 3:30 o'clock and continued well into the night. The temperature Tuesday morning had changed to warmer and with the sunshine of the afternoon there was little of the snow left when the day closed. Easter Sunday this year comes on April 23, which is much later than usual. Eleven years ago it fell on the same date and after the approaching event it will not come again so late until 1948 According to the calculation of experts, the date will not fall upon April 28 again until the year 2,000?a very considerable time in the future. The special election ordered by council to elect an alderman from ward 3, will be held today, the polls opening at 8 a, m. and closing at 4 p. m. Two candidates, Messrs. Jesse Harris and S. A. Lee, are announced for the place. None except voters resident in said ward are entitled to vote in thi3 election. As will be noticed by announcement elsewhere, the evangelistic meeting at the Fort Mill Baptist, church is to begin tomorrow (Friday) evening. It was formerly announced that the meeting would begin on next | Sunday, but at the request of Rev. D. P. Montgomery, who is to assist the pastor, the opening date has been changed to tomorrow. A matter which is of considerable moment to the men of the local militia company at present is what is known as the "army pay bill" now before congress, with every likelihood it is believed of becoming a law. If this bill passes, it is likely that the entire militia of the country will be greatly improved, for under the law it is provided that each private be paid $1 for each drill, and the commissioned officers will receive a salary that will make their work well worth while.

At a congregational meeting! of the Fort Mill Presbyterians held Sunday morning a call was extended to Rev. R. K. Timrnons j of Bethel church to the pastorate t of the Fort Mill church. There (were several nominations, but the Rev. Mr. Timrnons received ) 'almost a total of the vote? cast. Mr. Timmons visited Fort Mill a few Sundays ago and the Presbyterians were highly pleased ( with the two excellent sermons i which he delivered. It is the ' hope of all that he will look favorably upon the call extended ' him. The meeting Sunday was pre- > sided over by the Rev. Mr. Craig of Rock Hill, during j which two additional deacons. Messrs. J. E. Williamson and K. Shannon, were elected. They i will be installed at a later date. In the Race Again. W. I. Witherspoon of York, ' said Tuesday that while he has not made a definite announcement it is his intention to be a candidate for railroad commissioner in the Democratic primary next summer. Mr. Witherspoon was a candidate for railroad commissioner in the 1914 race, this having been the first time he ever offered for a public office.

Sheppard. a loom | fixer in the Millfort Mill says: "For 17 years I carried insur- i anec in one of the fraternal orders at a Jairly low rate and. I f Itttn u'hiirf T tone A I "' d . | iiiv.n, n iivil 1 WflO -? 1 V Ctl I UIU | my rate was more than doubled i without warning. I refused to pay the advanced premium and took a policy in the Union Con tral Life, but had to pay a high ; premium on account of my age. j I now find that if I had taken my i "present policy instead of the fraternal policy, I would never have to pay another cent and my life would be insured until I die without further payments by me. Besides each year I would now be getting a dividend check from the Union Central each year as long as I live. And I find that the cost of the same in the long run would have been less than my co. tract with the fraternal society." For nearly fifty years the Union Central has furnished life insurance at the lowest net cost. , Are you wise in delaying your j application? Bailes & Link, Dist. Agts., Fort Mill, S. C.
