of Miss Minnie Garrison in this
city.

There were ginned in York

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

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

Some eighteen years ago he be

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

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

men and women who at one
time or another have attended
the excellent schools of Fort

make a contribution of at least
one day's work to the support of

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

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.

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
