The latest information from
the First South Carolina regiment,

can return to their respective
homes.

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

many friends here.
Postmaster B. H. Massey, of
the local postoffice, in common

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.

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.''

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.
