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.

Church Calls Pastor.
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.

Be Warned.
Mr. A. B. 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?
