> ____________________ ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST. _____________ York county will get $1,236,47 of the fees from insurance companies which is to be distributed shortly by the State treasurer. Misses Mary Lewis, Kathleen Armstrong, Mary Spratt and Lana Parks left Tuesday evening for Rock Hill to reenter Winthrop college, which began its fall and winter term yesterday. Mr. J. Cal Steele of Rock Hill, j % who was defeated for sheriff in ! the recent primary by a small J vote, has announced in one of the county papers that he will be a candidate for the office four years hence. On account of the cool evenings there will be no more open air services in the lot at the head of Main street this summer, all monf inrrc fnv n?inf nr fn Kn iiiivi tiiv. ? unci tv held in the local Methodist and Presbyterian churches on their respective meeting nights. A record price for cotton seed on the local market was established Friday when several loads were sold for 85 cents per bushel. This, however, was about 15 cents per bushel over the market prices and was due to competition between the buyers. D. A. Harris, better known as "Toad," chief of the Catawba Indians, has been awarded the contract by the county to run the ferry near the dam, and took charge of it yesterday morning, says the Rock Hill Record. The beautiful Woodmen monument erected recently in New Unity cemetery at the grave of the late Thos. 0. Moser, is to be unveiled with appropriate ceremonies by the local W. 0. W. Lodge next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The public is invited to witness the ceremonial. Fort Mill friends of Prof. A. R. Banks will be interested to know that during the fall and winter he is to superintend the public schools at Blythewood, in Fairfield county. Prof. Banks is one of the State's best known and most able educators, and during the last few years has met with much success in his work. A Monday's press despatch from El Paso, Tex., says that y First Lieut. Jesse T. Crawford has been detached from the Fort Mill company and assigned to duty with the machine gun company of the First regiment during the absence of Lieut. Duckett, who has gone to the Thirtyfifth regiment of the regular army. A small keg of dyestufF, which was brought over from Germany a short time ago. reached Fort Mill a few days ago and was an object of much curiosity. The dye was consigned to the Fort Mill Mfg. company, and some; idea of the high cost of dyes at present may be had from the fact that this shipment weighed 200 pounds and its value was $500. Supt. James D. Fulp, of the Fort Mill graded school, has, j through the influence of Con-1 gressman Finley, received assurance of a shipment of 35 rifles j from the war department and the shipment is expected to arrive within a few days. The rifles are to be used in training the male pupils in the military A x! - 1 _ 1 1 I mimes, a new ieacure wnicn nas been added to the school. One of the party of Fort Mill men who attended the joint; meeting Monday at York of the j county commissioners and the legislative delegation to discuss ) bridge matters, said that to his j mind there is little doubt that the new bridge over Catawba river between Fort Mill and Rock Hill will be located either in the vicinity of Jones' ferry or just below the old Dinkins ferry. On account of a delayed shipment of material there has been a hold-up in construction work on the Fort Mill Mfg. company's new mill building at plant No. 2 in this city. With the arrival of this material which is expectJ_M__ A 1 1 Ml 1 l l i . . ea aany, me woric win oe pusnea | forward with all haste and it is believed that three more weeks' work will see the new mill com-1 I pleted. A marriage of interest to their \ many friends in this section was that Thursday evening of Miss Vena Patterson and Mr. Ben O. Patterson of the township. The marriage took place at the home j of the bride's father, Mr. June Patterson in the Pleasant Valley section and was witnessed by a number of relatives and friends of the couple. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson have returned to this city and are housekeeping in the i Homeland cottage on Booth street. A V' ' Prof. Frank Potts and wife, who have been visiting in the home of the former's father, Hon. O. W. Potts, in Pleasant Valley, returned to Columbia Monday. Prof. Potts is a member of the faculty of the State University. Attention of the parents of the town is called to a notice posted in the lobby of the local postoffice in which it is stated that in the future no mail will be delivered to children. This action on the part of Postmaster Massey is made necessary by the fact that recently a number of valuable pieces of mail delivered to children have been lost or misplaced and did not reach the parties to whom it was addressed. Aside from this fact, the postoffice people are very much annoyed by having hordes of school children stop at the - j? :? ?* ucuvci,y wiiiuuw going ana coming from school and inquire for mail. Parents should instruct the children to desist from this practice. Supervisor T. W. Boyd, accompanied by Mr. Miller, a Rock Hill surveyor, visited Fort Mill Tuesday, and with a delegation of local business men visited Catawba river at Jones' and Dinkins' ferries for the purpose of getting measurements of the sites for the proposed new county bridge across the river. These measurements are necessary in order to estimate the cost of a bridge at either of the places, and an estimate must be made before the county board can petition the legislative delegation for the amount necessary to build a bridge. It is expected that the estimates will be made made known at a joint meeting of the commissioners and legislative delegation to be held at York three weeks hence. Unique Railroad Tickets. James D. Fulp has discovered in an old desk at his home here a curiosity in a sheet of railroad script, or what might be termed an old-time mileage sheet. The sheet has much the appearance of an ordinary five-dollar bill in size and print and was issued in 1873 at Columbia by the Charlotte Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company and is "good for the fare of one passenger one hundred miles." The script shows the figure "5" much as it is shown on a five dollar bill and in the center contains an engraving of a wood-burning engine with a train of cars. Three of these were found, two of which were for 100 -miles and one for 20 miles. Improved Feature Service. The management of the Majestic Theatre, the local playhouse. announces that a contract has just been made for a number of high-class features, the first of which will be shown here in a few days. These features are to be furnished by the VVm. Fox company, which is conceded to rank among the country's foremost film producing concerns. To be seen in the Fox features are such noted players as Wm. Earnum, Kobert Edeson, Stuart Holmes, Wilton Lackaye, Theda Bara, Betty Nansen, Nance O'Neil and other stars of national prominence. The first of the Fox features will be seen at The Majessic on next Tuesday when Anna Nilson appears in the six-part drama, "The Regeneration." For Queen of the Fair. The following Fort Mill young ladies have been nominated as contestants in the contest for queen of the York county fair to be held October 17-20: Misses Mary Boyd, Margaret Spratt, Alice Harris, Kathleen Blankenship, Cornelia Harris,Lu cile Barber, Nora Hamilton, Lana Parks, Lessie Epps, Esther McMurray, Ruth Meacham. Agnes Link, Hattie Belk, Louise Ardrey, Bernice Mills, Mary Lewis and Isabel Grier.

M. * I THE FORT M New County Bridge. 1 Tuesday morning at the court house in York a joint meeting of the board of county commissioners and legislative delegation was held to consider the matter of restoring the county bridges across the Catawba and Broad rivers which were swept away by the July freshet. Representative delegations of Fort Mill and Rock Hill citizens were present at the meeting to urge particularly the rebuilding at the earliest practicable date of the bridge connecting Fort Mill and the balance of the county. As a result of the meeting the legislative delegation agreed to provide a reasonable amount to restore the bridge. The restoration of the bridges connecting, York and Lancaster counties and York and Cherokee counties j j a. * i is uapenueni upon tne CO- ; i| operation of those counties with F York county by each furnishing I E half the money necessary to ft replace them. The county engi- ft neer is to make a survey of the ft various sites proposed for the ! ft new Fort Mill bridge and at a meeting of the county com- " missioners and legislative delegation to be held three weeks hence submit estimates of the cost of a bridge at each of the sites. It is thought that at this meeting the site for the bridge will be selected and upon the assurance of the legislative delegation that the money for it will be provided by the necessary legislation at the 1917 session of the General Assembly the contract will be let at once and work begun on the structure shortly thereafter. School Term Began Monday. The graded school opened the fall session Monday morning at. 9 o'clock under most auspicious circumstances, there being present to greet the teachers several score of the patrons of the school, representatives of the board of trustees and three ministers of the town. The devotions^ exercises were conducted by Revs. : E. Z. James and R. K. Timmons after which a splendid address was delivered by Prof. C. B. Elliott, principal of the Taylor i street school, Columbia. The' school was also honored in having present to address them, Prof. J. A. Boyd who for so many years was the superintendent here. Prof. Boyd's few words were feelingly spoken and attentively received. Supt. J. D. Fulp then outlined the nlans for year and stated the new departure which is to be taken in having military training for the larger boys of the school which j will be under the supervision of i Principal J. R. Harris, a recent _ graduate of the Citadel. After the conclusion of the chapel exercises the children marched p, to their respective rooms where i they were given lists of the books needed for the year and lessons were assigned for the j week. The large number en-; rolling the first week was signally noticeable as several contagious de diseases are prevalent in town. co The number enrolled up to Wed- th nesday was in excess of 260. So j uf far 8 have enrolled in the eleventh grade which has been I fh added this year. i ini One of the most gratifying J features of the school system tic this year is that there is to be of * - r ' 10 iivy lumuii uiiarj^cs in any 01 me m"( grades save the eleventh.
