ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST. Mrs. Gary S. Thompson and children, of Greensboro, N. C., are visiting relatives in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Downs and Mr. and Mrs. McClain Cat-others, of Pineville, were guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Eason in this city. Mrs. Fannie Newsom, of Gloria, Cuba, and Mesdames Hugh I Harris and R. L. Erwin, of Char J lotte, were guests the last week of Mrs. Robt. F. Grier. ^ Sam A. Lee, whose ilness of fever was noted in last week's Times, is steadily improving at his home on Forest street, much to the gratification of his many friends. Trouble for the newspaperman will never cease, it seems. The Times Tuesday received notice of a further advance in the price of the paper on which it is printed, and at present cost of the paper is a fraction more than 1-2 cent a sheet. The annuai mpptimr nf Ilia VV M. U. Auxiliary to the York Baptist association is to be held with the Fort Mill church on September 5th and 6th. A highly intereresting program has been arranged for the occasion and a most. pleasant and profitable meeting is anticipated. One of the pleasant affairs of the season in the township was the annual reunion of the Kimbrell family held on Thursday at the home of D.,G. Kimbrell, one mile south of to\yn. A majority of the members of the familv were present and the day was most pleasantly spent by all. The first open cotton boll of the season to reach The Times office came in late last Wednesday afternoon from the plantation of Mr. Henry Hammond, two miles west of town. Mr. Hammond also had the honor of reporting the first cotton bloom to The Times some weeks ago. There arrived in Fort Mill by Southern freight Monday a dozen or more cars of machinery i consisting of "dinky" engines, ; hoisters. dump cars, etc., and it is understood that the machin- ; ery is to be taken out to the Ca- . tawba power dam to be used in rebuilding the portion of the * dam that was washed away in the freshet of last Month. The Rev. VV. A. Hafner, of Gaffney, former pastor of the Fort Mill presbyterian church, filled the pulpit of this church last Sunday morning, delivering therefrom a most eloquent and instructive discourse. Again on Sunday evening Mr. Hafner was heard by a large and appreciative audience from the stand at the head of Main street. Wilson E. Crowder, of Reidsville, N. C. was a guest Sunday in the home of his father, J. P. Crowder, in Lower Fort Mill. Mr. Crowder has for the last two years been connected with a street paving concern and located in Charleston, W. Va., but was recently transferred to Reidsville. where his company has a i-no/l r>i\r\ t no of nf nft moan nrn portions. Sam L. Meacham on Monday began the erection of a brick garage on Confederate street, adjoining the building of the Fort Mill Telephone exchange. Mr. Meacham some time ago acquired the auto business of the .iones-Young Motor company, located in Whiteville Park, and will move the business to the new Confederate street building upon its completion. The Rock Hill Record of Monday carried a complete list of the voters of the county who were stricken from the club rolls at the meeting in York last Friday of the Democratic county committee. These parties were cut off for various reasons-some failing to state age, occupation, postoffice, etc. The names of only two Fort Mill men, James David Gibson and David Ayers I^ee, appeared in The Record's list. Members of the Fort Mill Light infantry, together with the other 2,000 or more State guardsmen engaged in the frontier patrol, will on next Tuesday have the unique experience of voting more than 2,000 miles from home, the necessary ballots, etc., for this purpose having been forwarded several days ago from State headquarters in Columbia. The results of the soldier vote will be certified by organization commanders via telegraph and mail to the several county chairmen. COL. LEROY SPRINGS MAY MAKE FORT MILL HIS FUTURE HOME. The following news item which i appeared as a Fort Mill special 1 in Sunday's Charlotte Observer will be read with interest by the ' people of this city and vicinity: "In view of the enlargements now under way at Mill No. 2 of the Fort Mill Manufacturing company and the rumors *of contemplated additinns to the plant at mill No. 1, both of which are ( under the control of Col. Leroy ] Springs of Lancaster, The Observer's correspondent sought an interview with Colonel Springs ( with the view of securing defi- ' nite information with regard to his plans, since the future pros- \ perity and growth of Fort Mill may depend in a large measure ' upon the development of his de- ' signs. His interest in Fort Mill 1 does not arise solely from the I fact of his investments here, but ' there is also a sentimental reas on wnicn is justified by the fact 1 that he was born here where his progenitors were landholders for generations and where many of the family now lie buried in the * cemetery of Unity Presbyterian < church. ' "He has lately purchased the * home property of the late Col. 1 John M. White, acquired from 1 Mrs. Addie M. Odell of Concord, N. C.. which includes an elegant red brick residence surrounded by grounds among the most beautiful in Fort Mill and located only a short distance from the center of town. Another valuable piece of property is the old White homestead located just on the edge of the town's limits, built in 1831 and the property of his son, Elliott Springs, a student in his senior year at Princeton University. With all these facts in view, it can be easily understood why Colonel Surinirs contem plates very favorably moving to \ Fort Mill and making his future j home here. From Fort Mill his c interests in Chester and Lancas- f ter are easily accessible either by train or motor and there are a through trains to all points from c here which would enable him to make the numerous trips re- j quired of him comfortably. He has developed Whiteville Park, a new residence section opening just beyona the head of Trade t street, probably the most desira- \ble in town on account of accessi- i bility and the beauty of the pros- i: pect. Streets will be required to S open this property and this will f doubtless be undertaken in n verv t short while. c C! "Other streets will be required V to the north to develop the prop- t erty near mill No. 1 and this c will probably consist of an ex- i tension of Clebourn street to the t town limits, a distance of about t three-eights of a mile which will i be intersected by two or more ( cross streets. The town council J is disposed to favor Col. Springs . in all of these developments and 1 some time ago passed a resolu- tion favorably to the exemption from taxes of new industries or increases to old ones for a period ' of five years. "The proposition requires the vote of the people and the issue will probably be submitted to them within the next 30 days. The present plans for the extension of mill No. 1 includes a weave room approximately 250 by 100 feet in size which will be equipped with looms for the manufacture of domestic ginghams and kindred fabrics, the i building to be located just in l front of the present mill build- \ ing. On account of the present 1 excessive prices of machinery j and the delay in securing deliveries, the final completion of the j plant may be deferred until after the close of the war, when it is < expected normal conditions will ] prevail. ] "In the meantime the yarn re- I quired in the manufacturing pro- i cess will be obtained by night shifts in the spinning rooms, i The large addition to mill No. 2, ! which has been under way for some time, being delayed by the I recent severe storms, is being rapidly pushed to completion and I the machinery will probably be in operation before the first of November. "The final conclusion of the ] Coming "EAST I A Surpassing Presentation ol mance that has made all the n half a century.

The Bridge Meeting. No definite conclusions were reached Friday night in the citizens' meeting to consider the location of the proposed new county bridge across Catawba river. Discussion of the matter in the meeting disclosed the fact that there was considerable difference of opinion as to where the bridge should be located. The meeting was presided over; by S. L. Meacham and A. C. jj Lytle acted as secretary. Final- ' ly, after much discussion, a resolution was adopted which favors the location of the bridge at a;l point which would give the short- j' est and most direct road between J Fort Mill and Rock Hill. A com-1 mittee consisting of J. B. Mills. Dr. J. L. Spratt, Dr. A. Theo. Neely, J. J. Bailes and Mayor B. E. Patterson, was then appointed to confer with the Rock Hill Chamber of Commerce with a view ui juimc aeuun in uie mat- | :er. The meeting then adjourned :o await the action of this committee. Would Stop Immigrants. In the United States Senate Monday Senator Smith of this State, while replying to Senator j Stone of Missouri on the immigration question, declared he is n favor of an immigration law ;hat will keep immigrants away 'or at least a generation in order hat American people may be1 horoughly American and loyal o the Stars and Stripes, says a special to the Charlotte Observ?r. Senator Smith said it is dan- t ferous when a member of Congress has a constituency whose illegiance is divided and he jointed with alarm to the inTeased number of "half-baked" oreign-Americans. ) "I am in favor of preventing my more from coming in, with ertain conditions, until those iow here may be educated and s horoughly absorbed into our ' s, ife." I p An Unfortunate Spirit. We feel that the politicians in i n he western half of York county 111 lave made a serious mistake bv ~ njecting the "Catawba county" ssuc into the present campaign. Ve might remind our good (1 riend, J. Steele IJrice, Esq., [j hat it is best to "let sleeping logs lie.*' we believe we can I ~ iay that the peoole in the eastern lalf of York county are willing "t. o wait for the Supreme Court s >f South Carolina to act on the L lew county proposition, and hat we are not getting unduly ixcited over the question. There s certainly little wisdom in Iragging this question into the iresent political campaign. Our "riends in Western York ought ~ .0 keep their shirts on. ?Rock dill Record. : B f Substantial Savings. Three factors determine the :ost of a life insurance policy, 1 \ he Mortality Experience, the In- 0 :erest Earnings, and the Ex- p lense of Management. The mortality experience by he Union Central during 1914 r -vas but 55.2 per cent of the ex- f jected, a little more than half. r pi ^1. i - 1 e. 1 ? . I i iie interest earned ai cer deduct- ^ ng all investment expenses was j _ more than 186 per cent of the amount required to maintain a { policy reserve. Furthermore, ^ :rue economy securing the max- j" mum of results foe. the amount expended?has always been a Union Central tenet. The substantial savings real- d zed from these three sources 1 and paid to the Company's poli- ^ lyholders as dividends during _ 1915 exceeded three and one-half millions of dollars, a sum equal c to more than 27 per cent; of the preuiums received. r; Prudent buyers of life insurance demand SAFETY first, then < SERVICE, lastly SAVINGS. With a Union Central policy all \ three are abundantly realized. For a concrete example of these claims apply to Bailes & Link, ; District Agents, Fort Mill, S. C.
