ITERS OF LOCAL INTEREST. Miss Rebecca Nichols, of Pineville, was a guest the last week of Miss Minnie Garrison in this city. Miss Willie Hoke left this week for Summerton, S. C., where she will resume her work as superintendent of the Panola school. There were ginned in York county prior to Sept. 25th, 520 bales of cotton, as against 2.165 up to the corresponding date of last year, according to the report of Joe M. Taylor, special agent. Phillips & Ferguson, local merchants, have been busily engaged this week in moving their grocery stock and market business to the remodeled Stewart building, next to the Harris Furniture company. The first cases of "drunk and disorderly'-' in the city court in several months came up before Mayor B. E. Patterson Monday, when three young white men were charged with this offense and fined $5 each. The Farmers' Cotton warehouse is a thing of the past in Fort Mill, the building formerly used as such having been leased to the Fort Mill Lumber Co., as a warehouse. Charles H. V\ indie, a young farmer of Gold Hill, and Miss Louise Estella Epps, daughter of S. H. Epps, Jr., were happily married last Thursday afternoon at Flint Hill Baptist parsonage, the Rev. J. R. Smith, pastor, performing the ceremony. Robert L. Kipby, a native of York county, died at his home in Columbia Saturday afternoon, after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Kirby was reared in Ebenezer township, this county. Some eighteen years ago he be came <x iiieiimn un uie oouinern railroad and later an engineer, holding the latter position until his death. Surviving are a wife, mother and three brothers. A large number of the membership of the Fort Mill chapter of the Red Cross attended a meeting held Thursday afternoon in the Masonic lodge room at which committee reports were received showing much progress in the work of the chapter and lines ofwork assigned to the members. Great interest is shown in the movement and the chapter expects to occupy its own chapter room early next week. Miss Willie Hoke has just completed and revised a history of the schools of Fort Mill from the times of the earliest settlers down to the present. The work is one of more than local interest and when published will no doubt find a wide circulation throughout the country among men and women who at one time or another have attended the excellent schools of Fort Mill, many of the schools' former pupils being now prominent in public and professional life. Lieut. J. Marshall Boyce and bride passed through Fort Mill Sunday afternoon enroute to Columbia, where the former has been assigned to duty with the National army. The marriage of this couple took place Saturday in the home town of the ** vi A-. ? ui iuc, muiKaiiiun, IN. L. 1J16UC. Boyce is a son of W. W. Bovce, of Lower Mecklenburg, and has many friends in this section who will be interested to learn of his marriage. The bride was Miss Martjia Grier Ross, of Morganton. Orphanage Work Day. Next Saturday, October 13th, will be observed as Ophanage Work Day by all the churches and Sunday schools throughout South Carolina. It is the hope of the authorities at Thornwell orphanage, the Presbyterian institution, Epwcrth Orphanage, the Methodist, and Connie Max well, the Baptist, that every member of the churches will make a contribution of at least one day's work to the support of the orphans on this date, and bring the offering to their respective churches on the following Sunday. ] " 'VV''/ .*"* . f.t'' * Z \ ' '* *'.< * '\ FORT HILL'S COMMERCIAL BODY HOLDS FIRST ANNUAL MEETING. / The annual meeting of the Fort Mill Chamber of Commerce was held Friday evening, a majority of the members of the organization being present. The most interesting feature of the meeting was the address of the president, Mr. J. E. Williamson, who dealt largely with the accomplishments of the past year and a discussion of the work now in hand and for the future. Of the things accomplished since the organization of the chamber, about one year ago, Mr. Williamson mentioned the follow; ing: A new postoffice building has been erected, it being well equipped, well lighted, and adennat.p in si7.p fnr vparc fr? pr>mo ; Incidentally with this movement a very unsightly space at the corner of Trade and Confederate streets was filled with handsome buildings. Doby's bridge across Sugar creek has been constructed at last and members of our body initiated the movement to have this connecting link put in and have worked assiduously and continuously on the proposition until it was completed. Through the efforts of this body the new road to the Cherry 1 bridge has been completed and this body has been behind every movement and meeting connected with the locating of this bridge. At the quarterly menting of January 5th a resolution was adopted to urge upon the Mayor and towi\council the paving of a number of streets, and those of us who go much about town are able to vouch for the satisfactorv and extensive amount of this work which has been done during the past year. Surveys and estimates have been secured for the grading and improving all the streets in town. In connection with similar bodies along the route, we have been working on the plan of having a National highway pass through Fort Mill on the route from Charlotte to Columbia, and with the completion of the newbridge we expect to get results. The Chamber of Commerce has lent its aid in every possible way in the national crisis. It has been instrumental in helping and cheering our boys who have gone to the front; it has arranged and held meetings throughout the township in furthering the plans of the govern-J ment; its board of directors has used its influence in supporting the plan of President Wilson; it has been called upon to aid in ornanizing societies for food production and conservation; it is supporting every movement which will contribute to the success of our arms in the war- it has been in communication with civic preparedness headquarters, both National and State for promoting their work. We have also been interested in the movement inangurated by Senator E. D. Smith to furnish nitrate of soda to our farmers at a reasonable cost and this movement will no doubt be productive of good results. We have been in constant communication with other similar bodies with whom we have exchanged ideas, giving advice | from our experience, and receiving advice from which we have profited. We are taking up with the Southern railway company the matter of better freight handling facilities by an enlargement of their warehouse and platThe Firs Dcpoi Deposit Deposits C Total Resources i w forms, a matter which I am sure will be good news to those doing business at the station. We are also asking that adequate toilet conveniences .be provided, a matter fthich the general traveling public is interested in and will hail with delight a change in the present conditions. A matter which demands our immediate attention is that of Bailes' bridge and its approaches. Tf iq q fool- 1 Kat f-Ua formovo f?v\m Ab 10 U lUVt til UU tliv. I til 111 V1 O 11 VIII Pleasant Valley could not reach Fort Mill at times last winter, and under the best conditions, traveling the road was almost impossible. Unless immediate steps are taken to remedy these conditions, we will have this neighborhood cut off from our town again and we will all be losers, directly, in their trade and support. Following the address of President Williamson, a resolution was passed endorsing the bill of W. R. Bradford to prevent the issue of county bonds except after a reference to the voters which passed the House at its last session and required the secretary to write the members of the State senate urging their - i _ r i i l i i _ ? support, 01 me uui at trie next session. A resolution was also passed condemning the actions of Senator Robert M. LaFollette and his pro-German attitude, and the secretary was directed to send a copy of the resolution to each of the members of the senate from this State urging that every means be used to oust him from the senate. At the conclusion of the business session the members repaired to the Meacham building on Trade street where a delightful supper was served by the ladies of the missionary society ?e ?u 1...1 : _i i. f?i ui me r i csu^ itnan cnurcii, iuilowed by a smoker and after dinner speeches. - * Interesting and appropriate exercises in honor of eight young white selectmen comprising the third increment of the Western district of York county for the National Army were held in the courthouse Wednesday evening under the auspices of the Yorkville auxiliary of the American Red Cross.
