Williamsou who for several years past has had charge of the two cotton mills of the Fort Mill Manufacturing company has severed his connection with them and on Saturday left for Fayetteville, N.

Spratt Friday evening where he was the recipient of a number of articles given as an expression of the esteem in which he is held. The two banking institutions of Fort Mill are sending out to their stockholders checks in payment of the usual semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent. These institutions have passed through a very successful year and have earned a surplus to be added to their undivided profits. As a result of frozen pipes in the range of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Young in which the usual fire was started Sunday morning, there was a "serious explosion which wrecked the range and damaged the interior of the kitchen. Fortunately no person was in the kitchen at the time and the only damage is to property. With Jno. S. Potts as manager, the Potts Supply Company is preparing to open for business in the Belk building on Main street, next to the Cash market. A general line of merchandise is to be carried. Mr. Potts has been with the J. B. Mills com. pany for a year and is a well known young business man. Present indications are that little interest will be taken in the municipal election which is f to be held in Fort Mill on January 8th, at which time a mayor, six aldermen and a waterworks commissioner are to be elected for the years 1918-19. At the closing of the books of fegistra tion Thursday night less than one-sixth of the voters of the town had qualified for the election.

It will be sold at actual cost to needy families, no one family to be allowed more than one ton, and those desiring to share in the distribution should give their order at once to either of the police officers. The recent cold snap probably set a new mark in the matter of low temperatures for this vicinity, one thermometer with a northern exposure registering 4 degrees below zero, the reports of other observers being from 9 rJtinrro/io oKaiia f a 1 u ul(^i vto auuvc i.vj x uv'|<I cc below. In consequence of the very cold weather business has been very dull for the past few days which gives the merchants ample opportunity for their annual inventories. Now for Rabbit Sausage. "The rabbit is receiving consideration in many quarters," says the State food administration. "Australia has converted this farm pest into food and today frozen rabbits take third place in her exports. Housekeepers have discovered, too, the value of the rabbit which can be roasted, fried, stewed, potted or turned into a pie?in fact, used just like chicken. Here is a recipe for rabbit: sausage which came from Oklahoma: Rabbit Sausage?Take healthy rabbits, young or old, dress and soak over night in salt water. Wash thoroughly. Cut the meat off the bone and grind very fine in food chopper. To one pound of meat use one-quarter of a ; medium onion, two tablespoons ' cracker crumbs, three quarters teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon biack pepper, pinch of cayenne pepper and one-eighth of a cup of milk. Chop onion fine with a knife. Mix all ingredients thoroughly, let stand for several hours, make into cakes and fry, or pan broil. I ?L Dentistry. Dr. J. R.

NE OF I S DEFENDANTS provement Committee, Atlanta, Ga. t>?ie of your most pressing probU -s and one to be,acted upon without lelav, is the matter of obtaining your fertilizer. In spite of the best efforts of the manufacturers and the Government, materials for making fertilizers are ^scarce nnd high in price. Therefore, it is all the .more necessary that what fertilizers are to be distributed, should be used upon soil that has received the very best preparations the farmer Is capable of giving. The mobilization of our army, requiring a maximum movement of troop tra'ns and supply trains, has over-taxed the capacity of our railroads as never before, nnd in order for fertilizers to be distributed this season, the movement must of necessity, begin early and the unloading of cars at destination be done with utmost despatch. Kvery car must be loaded to canaclty. Today fertilizers are cheaper than farm crops or farm labor. A bale of cotton, a bushel of corn, oats or wheat, will buy more pounds of fertil ers now than ever before, hence to assure the performance of a patriotic lutv. with great profit to yourself, or 'i' i i' ii iii/." i !% )ll u1i1|m iy mj i mil v mi may ho sure to got then).
