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

charge of it yesterday morning,

The beautiful Woodmen monument
erected recently in New

the late Thos. 0. Moser, is to
be unveiled with appropriate
ceremonies by the local W. 0.

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

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

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.
Persons getting votes from the
merchants, practically all of
whom are giving them away
with cash purchases, will find
boxes in most of the business
houses in which to cast ballots.

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. Those
students, however, who come as
from without the district are re- j tic
quired to pay $5.00 a session. as
