The office force works in a room which is crowded, is poorly lighted and the ventilation is none too good. The lobby at times is crowded to where standing room can scarcely be had. There are several rooms, one in particular, on Main street that would make ideal locations for the postoffice and the rental prices ot these buildings are, we are told, practically the same as the present office. The Times has no desire to attempt to run Uncle Sam's postal business in Fort Mill, but should Postmaster Massey decide to move his office to Main street, we are satisfied that he and his several helpers would find the new quarters better in every respect, and such a change would be welcomed by a large majority of the patrons of the office. Word comes from Columbia that Governor Manning the last week completed the task of signing the 4,800 new state refunding bonds, and it was expected that early this week he would take up the various acts of the legislature, approving or vetoing the measures as his judgment might dictate. It is hoped by his friends that the governor will in short take action on the statewide measures, the two-quart law and the weekly pay bill in particular, since it is being whispered a'oud by many of the political opponents of Mr. Manning that he is "gun shy," or afraid, to either approve or veto these two measures. But, wouldn't it be real, downright mean for Fort Mill and Catnwha tnwrishins to kirk nnt with 1 some four millions of taxable [ property, and straddle on the people of grand old York the $75,000 debt for a new court house which we, ourselves, are , honestly obligated to help pay for. However, it's some distance yet to Catawba county. ; If those Rock Hill men who j were here Monday in the inter- j est of forming a new county with i, Rock Hill as the county seat, can , show the people of this township where the new county would ef- 1 i feet a reduction in taxation, this '> box in the event of an election j1 would, we believe, go solid for ! the new county. How many people there are in ! this world who are willing to al- \ low us to work and sweat making ( a success out of a failure, then, < how this same class of people: | will come around to share all thejs glory, not to forget the emolu-j< ments. also! Well, well! But.;' then, there is so much human!5 nature about this, after all. Now that the winter apparent- { ly is over, let's begin talking , street improvement. There are i several stretches of sidewalks 1 yet to be paved and the citizens along the unpaved sections are, we are sure, ready to join with { the town in carrying the work I forward. , The latest news, unofficial, from one P. Vilia is that he is r headed for the mountainous dis- 1 trict of Guerrero and is a-gwine some. If you don't clean up your premises one of these pretty ^ spring days, we take it that you * are related to the hog. There is a lot more contentment in owning a chicken pen than there is in having the en- t, inity of your neighbor. " T York County News Natters. th. (Clipped from Our Exchanges.) l'u an The new postofrice building at wi Clover is progressing nicely and will be ready for occupancy in a short time. Plans for the new $12,000 Presbyterian church for A Clover have been submitted and ~ it is expected that the contract will be let and work on the building will commence at ar. early ^ date. vc The high winds of last Thurs- Pr day wrecked the new Methodist ~ church at Catawba Junction, the building being constructed of wood and built about one year Ss 1 ago. 51 Fire, of unknown origin, Saturday morning completely destroyed the plant of the Rock ai Hill Fertilizer company, on West tl White street, entailing a loss of 'V perhaps $40,000. Two tenant yu houses and the Catawba Lumber company's plant were damaged sby the fire. T< Charlie Mace, white, who niur- ql oereu nis wire in rsurKe county, at N. C., February 24th, was cap- *{j tured Friday morning at the home of his uncle, John Mull, or seven miles from Yorkville. He i S< was taken back to North Carolina for trial. James Draffiin, the Lesslie boy ai who last year won second place in the state corn club contest, has been given a gold watch by the Mixon Seed company, of Charleston, and $30 cash by I. W. Hill, of Washington, head of the corn club work in the South. T< A bottling plant to bottle mineral waters and soft drinks is ,,f now practically assured for York and this is to be followed later with a modern and up-to-date Ta summe' resort hotel, if the pat- c, ronage seems to warrant it. D, Winthrop summer school bulletins are being distributed over the state. The bulletin contains ? the names of about fifty instructors. many of whom have taught at the college during former ses- ? sior.s of the summer school. < Roseoe Starnes and Tom Long, two white men from Gastonia, were tried in the mayor's court ^ at York Friday on a charge of violating the liqnor laws and were acquitted by a jury. How-1 f ever, they lost their supply of liquor at the hands of Sheriff Hugh Brown. + Congressman Finlev has intrn- i ?- # V duced in congress a bill for the " payment of $157.35 to the heirs of Jas. H. Gardner, deceased. ? The government owed this sum to Mr. Gardner when the civil 4 war broke out for carrying the + maii between Yorkviile and Char- i lotte, but Mr. Gardner was never able to collect it. ? A Mock Marriage. For the benefit of the local Home Missionary society, a mock marriage is to be given by local + talent in the auditorium of the I graded school the evening of Friday, April 7th, and the public T is cordially invited to see the play. This play gives promise of being one of the most highly 4 amusing farce comedies yet given " at the auditorium and a packed 4 house doubtless will greet the I players. ? Want New County.

These gentlemen were met at the Savings Bank by about twenty ? business men of the town and the proposition was outlined in Jetail by the visitors. The Rock Hill gentlemen would form the new county from parts of the adjoining counties of York, Chester. Fairfield antl Lancaster. In the pioposeri new county would be located 13 cotton mills, the four big electric power plants of the Southern Power company and numerous other manufactories. Riving Catawba county taxable property estimated at ft 10,Odd,000 and making it one of the wealthiest counties in the state. Petitions calling for an ilection on the question were | eft w ith several Fort Mill men tnd up to yesterday noou many voters of the town and township lad altixed their names to the petitions. It was the hope of the aromoters to secure enough signatures by the latter part of the A'eek, when the petitions would >e submitted to the governor. FOR SALE.
