Christmas savings checks were
paid out by the two local banks
last week to the members of the
Savings Clubs, and the large
number who had lived up to the
saving system were happy over
the thrift they had exercised.
New clubs for 1918 are now
being formed and many people
are subscribing to the stock.
Mrs. M. E. Wolfe, an aged
lady who made h"?r home with

train has been stopping here to
discharge passengers from, be_
yond Charlotte or to take on passengers
for points south of Co|
lumbia. The train is due at Fort

Christmas shopping is on in
earnest in Fort Mill and the
merchants are doing big business.
The inclemency of the
weather during the last week
kept the shoppers indoors but
they are now on the streets in
large numbers. Fort Mill merchants
are carrying the largest
and most varied stock of supplies
they have ever handled, and
there is a big demand and ready
sale for everything in all commercial
lines.
The Federal Land bank of
Columbia has notified the secretary
of the Fort Mill National
Farm Loan association that the
rate of interest to be charged on
future loans will be 51-2 per
cent and that the conditions
which make this advance necessary
may require a later advance
td 6 per cent which is the limit
established under the Farm Loan
act. Those loans already made
will, of course, bear only 5 per
cent interest as will also such
applications which have been
approved and payments author

Mayor B. E. Patterson left
Saturday evening for a week's
visit to New York City.
According to the weather bureau
records, the weather of the
past ten days has been the most
severe that this section has exrienced
since 1904.
Men of the national army will
not be given Christmas furloughs
unless they live within trolley
distance of their camps, says a
Washington despatch.
An account of the extremely
cold weather and the threatened
shortage of coal, announcement
is made that the local graded
school will not be open again im- ^
til after the Christmas holidays,
probably on Monday, Dec. 31.
There were ginned in York [
county prior to December 1st, J
23,088 bales of cotton, as against
19,220 bales to the corresponging j
date of last year, according to *
Joe M. Taylor, reporting agent. <
According to Columbia Sunday <
papers, there have been 56 cases <
of meningitis at Camp Jackson, j
with 22 deaths from the disease. ;
The camp has been placed under
strict quarantine.
The present spell of bad weath- <
er is greatly retarding work on <
the new Catawba bridge between <
Fort Mill and Rock Hill. The <
contractors some weeks ago ex- ,
pressed the hope of having the ,
bridge open to travel by January <
1st, but the bad weather of the
last ten days has, it is said, made
this impossible.
The Majestic Theatre today ,
offers a warm room and an i
excellent show in the production,
"The Mediator," one of the best
western plays that the Wm. Fox
company has put out. George \
Walsh, the coming rival of J
Douglas Fairbanks, and Juanita \
Hansen, play the leading roles, ?
and The Majestic management .
guarantees the picture to please
all who see it.
Woodmen Elect Officers.
At its meeting the past week
White Oak Camp No. 41, W. O.
W., the following officers were
elected to serve during 1918:
B. E. Patterson, C. C.; Jno. M.
Hutchinson, A. L.; L. J. Massev,
banker; C. W. Eason. clerk;
W. S. Moss, escort; J. L. Blackwelder,
watchman: J. M. Thrower,
sentry; Lee Armstrong and
J. M. Epps, managers.
Coal and Sugar Scarce.
There is and has been a decided
shortage of coal in Fort
Mill for some time past and some
A P tlio kAnnnUrvlrl />? ? ??J! ? ? - *
ui ?ii? uuucciiuiucisaie milling it
necessary to tear out the grates
in their houses and restore the
fireplaces for burning wood.
The supply of wood is plentiful,
but owing to the condition of the
country roads not much is being
on the streets.
The two cotton mills have been
able to keep going though their
supplies of coal have been in- .
adequate. It has been decided
to supplement this with wood
and thev began Tuesday with a
force of hands to fell trees on
tracts of land secured for the
purpose to be used under their
boilers.
Another shortage, not so vital
but of much inconvenience to the
housekeepers, is sugar. The
present supply in the hands of f
dealers is 300 pounds and this
will be sold only to regular customers
in packages of two pounds
to each customer. It is believed
that this situation will be relieved
within the next ten days.
Will Help Grain Crop.
During the p^t ten days this
section has been visited by the
most prolonged cold wave it has
known since March, 1888. The
i snow has remained on the ground
more than a week, and. it is
believed it has kept the big grain
crop of the county from freezing.
Much apprehensisn was felt for
the grain crop on account of the
| severe cold weather prior to the
i advent of the snow, but ex-1
perienced farmers believe the
i snow has kept the grain warm
j and moreover fertilized it, and
I barring any unforeseen difficul- j
ities York County's winter grain
j crop will parallel the recent banI
ner corn crop. |
Big Picture Comiag.
The Majestic Theatre will on
Thursday. December 27, offer
Vitagraph's mammoth production,
"The Girl Phillippa," featuring
the widely known star,
Anita Stewart. This picture is
presented in eight massive parts
and is one of the largest and
most magnificent productions
now playing the American circuits.
