This dry spell j has worked great injury to the ( grain crop and both cotton and I corn have been greatly retarded i through lack of moisture. z A local business change of J interest was effected Saturday c afternoon when Frank T. Phil- J lips, of Lancaster, purchased the interest of M. K. Moore in the 1 grocery and market business of Moore & Ferguson. The business is to be conducted in the future by Messrs. Phillips & Fer- * guson, and Mr. Moore announces 1 that he will at once open a new < market and crneprv in thp Arrir?v 1 i building just across Main street s from the Phillips and Ferguson ' stand. \ Announcement is made that . beginning at once there will be divine service in the local Bap- ( tist church each first and third Sunday morning, with evening ] services as heretofore. The , Fort Mill church has heretofore ] had but one morning service . each month, the other three ~ Sunday mornings being given over to the church at Flint Hill, and the new arrangement for preaching will give each of the churches an equal number of morning sermons each month. C losing exercises of the Belaire school will be held tomorrow, beginning in the morning and followed at the noon hour with a big picnic dinner on the grounds. In the evening will be given an entertainment by pupils and other young people of the community. The school has been taught the present term by Misses Vallena Pettus and Lucia Mcllwaine and the closing tomorrow will mark one of the most successful years in the history of the school.

There was considerable excitement in Fort Mill Wednesday morning when the public learned that a negro had accosted and threatened a white woman on one of the streets of the town ruesday evening and that a little later the same evening a negro, presumably the same man. had attempted to enter a room of a home in which were a mother and her baby. The woman accosted and threatened on the street is said to have been returning to her home about nine o'clock when the negro sprang from behind a tree in a secluded place and ordered her to make no outcry. Tne woman did make an outcry, however, and a gentieman who lives in the neighborhood hearing the scream hastened to her assistance; but che negro becoming frightened ran. Within a few minutes following this incident a negro attempted to enter a residence in which the woman of the house and her baby were alone, her husband not having returned home from his work. The police of the town have since been busy trying to apprehend the guilty negro, but thus far have met with no success. To Discuss New County. A committee of Fort Mill men, consisting of Mayor B. E. Pat;erson, Mr. W. B. Meacham and Mr. J. R. Haile, have requested rhe Times to call a mass meetng of the citizens of the town ind township to be held in the ;own hall at 3:30 o'clock the ifternoon of Saturday, May 27th, ;o discuss the matter of the 'ormation of Catawba county.
