j ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST. The ruling price paid for cotton on the Fort Mill market yes| terday was 20 cts. Cotton seed sold for 95c per bushel. _ Former Governor Cole L. Blease is in York this week, being one of the counsel for the defense in the Isenhower case. Fort Mill people will be interested to know that Rev. John I. Spinks, who has served the j Methodist churches of the North kock Hill circuit for several years, has been assigned by conference to the church at Phoenix, ! near Greenwood. There was ginned in York county prior to November 14th, j 15,429 bales of cotton, as against j 28,449 bales up to the correspond- j ing date in 1915, according to: the figures of Joe M. Taylor, census reporting agent. Mr. W. E. Whitesell and daughter, Miss Ethel, of the Mt. Holly section, are shopping in the city today. Mr. Whitesell and family expect to spend Thanksgiving with his daughter, Mrs. Alex Sutton, in Fort Mill, said the Rock Hill Herald of Monday. % The latest information from the First South Carolina regiment, now en route from the border, was to the effect that it would reach Columbia today at noon. It probably will be ten days hence before the boys are mustered out of the service and can return to their respective homes. The regular monthly meeting of the local Parent-Tcacher Club will be held in the auditorium of fhr? (rrarlurl onVinnl I V..W ^ . MV4VU OVIIUV1 IU1IIUIIUW (Friday) afternoon at 4 o'clock. It is the purpose of the club at this meeting to complete arrangements for the observance of "Community Day" December 8th, and all members and others interested in the project are requested to be present. The remains of Mrs. Fannie Hyatt, aged 70 years, who died in the Aragon mill village. Rock Hill, on last Sunday, were brought to Fort Mill on the morning train Monday and interred in New Unity cemetery. Mrs. Hyatt formerly resided in this city and the news of her i - i - aeam came as a shock to her many friends here. Postmaster B. H. Massey, of the local postoffice, in common with the postmasters throughout the country is to lend assistance to the United States marines in securing recruits, and he will be paid $5.00 for each accepted applicant, according to an official announcement made by the major general commandant of that organization. All of the evangelical denominations of Fort Mill united Sunday night at the local Methodist church in a farewell service to the Rev. E. Z. James, who has Konn Qooi /vno/1 ukK.ii oooi^iicu iu mi- cuurcn HV Richburg, Chester county. A splendid choir composed of all the choirs in the city rendered the music. Rev. James and family expect to leave during the week for Richburg. The 1916 season for killing partridges in York county begins tomorrow, December 1st, and continues until the first of February. However, there is a growing tendency on the part of the landowners to protect their birds and other game and it would be well for hunters to use a care upon whose lands they may enter for the sport. An article advertised in the issue of The Times of November 16th has brought an order from the city of Wilson, situated in the extreme easterh part of North Carolina. This is mentioned only to show that advertising in this newspaper brings results not only from this immediate section but from places at a considerable distance. There will be few if any failures or bankrupts among the merthants of York county this year, according to the statement a few days ago of a well known young attorney, who is well in touch with financial conditions throughout the county. Despite the short cotton crop the ad vaneea price for the staple will enable a large majority of the farmers to meet their obligations with the merchants. Then, too, the money panic of 1914 served to put most of the weak concerns out of business and those who are called upon to carry over accounts this year are amply able to extend such accommodation. ? 9 r* One of the pleasant social affairs of the week was the celebration Monday at the home of Capt. and Mrs. J. W. Ardrey of their golden wedding anniversary. Many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ardrey gathered at the home during the afternoon to offer congratulations and best wishes for the continued health and happiness of the couple. Among the guests present was Mrs. Laura H. Drakeford, who was a bride's maid at the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Ardrey nrty years ago. A joint meeting of the direct-1' ors of the Rock Hill Chamber of Commerce and several of the I directors of the Fort Mill Chamber of Commerce, for the purpose of considering plans for 1 putting the Rock Hill-Fort Mill road in first class shape by the time the new bridge over the 1 Catawba is completed, was held J! in Rock Hill Friday evening. ! Among the Fort Mill men attend- ( ing the meeting was C. S. Link, 1 A. C. Lytle, J. L. Spratt and ' W. B. Meacham. ^ Board Favors Cherry Site. ' A special meeting of the York . county board of commissioners , was held on Wednesday of last week to take up the matter of ' locating the new bridge over Catawba river to replace the one washed away in the flood of last July. It was finally de- , cided, if certain conditions in connection with the placing of the bridge at this point could be met, that the new structure would be placed at the end of the Cherry road. A committee was appointed to take up these details at once and they are now working on them and will report back to a call meeting of the board to be made | by the supervisor as soon as the committee is ready to report. May Come This Way. With the decision the last week of the commissioners of York county to locate the new bridge across Catawba river at the enu of the Cherry road, thus shortening the distance between Fort Mill and Rock Hill five or six miles, also eliminating the same number of miles between Charlotte and Columbia, it is expected that a determined effort will be made to put the road from Chester to the North Carolina line in fine shape and to urge Chester to have its part of the road put in fit condition. \A7 Vinn f V\Io ic* ? b - d ' it iiv.il lijio 10 uuiic a UIU Will UC made to have the route of the National highway changed so as to traverse Chester and York counties. The distance will be materially shortened and a little work will put the roads in excellent shape. The new bridge over the Catawba will be some higher than the high water-mark of last July, making it improbable that this structure will ever be damaged by high water. The National highway formerly passed by way of Lancaster and Camden, but the bridge below Camden is out of commission and the chances are that the York bridge will be completed first. With the road between Chester and North Carolina in good condition there is a probability that the route would be changed, and the traveler leaving Charlotte would pass through Fort Mill, Rock Hill and Chester and on to Columbia. Would Amend Bond Act. An amendment to the State constitution which will prevent the legislature from authorizing bond issues, except after ratification by the qualified electors of the unit concerned, will be introduced in the next session of the general assembly by W. R. Bradford, of the York delegation. Capt. Bradford would amend section 6 of article 10 by striking out the provision relating to the issuance of bonds by the general assembly and adding the following, in substance: 'TU 1 ' ' a nc general assemoiy, Dy a I majority vote of each house, may authorize any county or subdivision thereof to issue bonds for public purpones: Provided, That the prsposed bond issue be submitted to the qualified electors of the said county or subdivision thereof and be ratified by a majority of the qualified electors participating in such election.''

COLTHARP. Nov. 27, 1916. 2t j Iff r7 THE FOET Save Seed for Next Crop. Just because cotton seed arc bringing about twice as much a? they usually do farmers should not overlook the fact that next year's planting seed should be saved. The high prices now tend to cause a much larger proportion of the seed crop to be placed on the market this fall, and as a consequence there will be a shortage next year. It is aiso suggested tnat tarmers having exceptionally good seed may find it advantageous to save more than enough to fill their own needs, since there should be a ready sale for the surplus in the spring to other planters. The farmers saving just enough for his own needs should take into consideration the possible replanting requirements. Again, cotton growers should not be willing, because of the shortage, to takq the first supply available without regard to its quality, but should be willing to pay an increased price for the seeds of types of proven worth. Special care should be taken to keep all seed intended for planting from becoming contaminated with anthracnose and wiit. Ladies! On last Saturday we admitted you free to The Majestic Theatre.
