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

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

reporting the first cotton bloom
to The Times some weeks ago.
There arrived in Fort Mill by

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

postoffice, etc. The names of
only two Fort Mill men, James
David Gibson and David Ayers
I^ee, appeared in The Record's
list.

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.

plans in prospect will represent
an investment of near $500,000,
and the business and professional
men of Fort Mill, who are
greatly elated over the promised
developments, have assured Colonel
Springs of their hearty cooperation
and support."
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- |

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

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.

these claims apply to
