Grier. tyiss Mary Carothers. of Rock mil. was a truest tne past week of Misses Juanita and Nannie Erwin. William Erwin returned to! Clemson college last after a! visit of several weeks at his home here. > Misses Ella May Kirkpatrick and Willie Jones, of Fort Lawn, are quests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Patterson, on Booth street. The Rev. Arthur P. Toomer, of Charleston, a student at the Columbia Seminary, filled the pulpit ol' the Presbyterian church at the morning and evening services in the absence of the pustor, the Rev. R. K. Timmons, who is undertaking campaign . work throughout Bethel presbytery to raise its quota of the $100,000 war work fund. Two pieces of real estate belonging to the estate of the late W. T. Hoagland were sold under the direction of the clerk of court Satnrday at public aution, a house and lot on Booth street being bought by S. L. Meacham for $1800, and the livery stable property on Academy street to J. H. Sutton for $1000. The generosity of Col. Leroy Springs for the helpers in his several cotton mills was again demonstrated the past week when announcement was made that all the help would receive half pay for the time lost during the present and last weeks. This act of Col. Springs is greatly appreciated by his employees just at this time. People of this city and community who have been watching the weekly episodes of "The Fighting Trail," the serial story now heing shown at the Majestic Theatre, will be interested to know that a double episode (4 reels) of the story will be shown at regular prices on next Saturday, on account of last Saturday's episode having been lost in transit. County Demonstration Agent A. A. McKeown was in Fort Mill Friday in response to a call from a number of farmers in this commuuity who were seeking information as to the distribution of soda nitrates under the recent government provisions. While here Mr. McKeown stated to The Times that arrangements had been made with the tw< local banks to receive applications for the purchase of the soda and suggested that th< farmers file their applications ai the banks at once. The disposition of the business interests of Fort Mill to obey the order of Fuel Administratoi Garfield cheerfully and willingly is shown in the fact that the manufacturing enterprises have been closed since last Friday for the five-day period and all of the banks and business houses closed their doors on Monday, no one taking advantage of the hall day exemption allowed for retail stores selling provision. Even the drug stores opened, their doors only when it was necessary for filling prescriptions. The work room of the Rod Cross society has been the scene of much activity during the past week. The gift of 100 yards of material for bed shirts and purchases of material provided occupation for a number of the members who are working up the material into a number of needful articles which will be forwarded to the hospitals in a short while. A large quantity of preserves, jams and jellies have been collected for shipment to the sick and convalescent soldiers. * The Times is requested to state that Sam'l Johnson, a representative of the Internal Revenue department will visit n - . lx'll a. i t 1 f 11 rori mill next munuay lor tne purpose of imparting information in regard to the newly drafted income tax law. Mr. Johnson can be seen at the First ' National bank and he will be pleased to give any information to those liable to the tax. Parties who are doubtful as to - ? L * i__ >1 _ whether tney are suDject to i.ne income tax should not fail to see Mr. Johnson while he is here, as the penalty for failure to make a return is very severe. He will be hare only one day?Monday. jigr . Zn ... ? . ?< v ; * ;./ ??? ' Mr. Frank Hunter, of Lancaster, was a visitor in Fort Mill during the past week. Mrs. L. H. Tuttle of Charlotte, and Mrs. P. A. Stough of Cornelius, N. C., were recent guests of Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Spratt. The eighth snow of the season in four weeks met the gaze of the people Sunday morning. It was an "evaporated" snow, very light and soft, and disappeared almost as fast as it felK Dr. A. L. Ott, who has located in this city for the practice of dentistry, is spending a few days in Ridgeway, arranging to move his family to Fort Mill. Dr. Ott will occupy the Mills brick dwelling on Main street. We again call the attention of York county automobile owners to the fact that they must secure their 1918 license plates before February 1st. Automobiles will not be permitted to run after that date unless they have the 1918 license tag. A fairly good sized crowd was present at the Majestic Theatre ir^of AW/ln/t If---- * - jfbotciuaj iu net; vivian iviarun in the Paramount picture, "A Kiss for Susie." A portion of the receipts were given the local chapter D. A. R., for war work and the ladies realized quite a little sum from the performance. The regular monthly meeting of the local Parent-Teacher association was held in the auditorium of the graded school Friday afternoon. The program was abridged as much as possible for the sake of the conservation of fuel. Plans were completed, however, and committees appointed for the entertainment of the Eastern Division of the York Teachers' association, at its meeting here next Saturday. The next annual meeting of the State Teachers' association will be held in Columbia March 14-18 inclusive. The general sessions will be held in the Columbia Theatre and the department meetings will be held in the high school building and other adjacent rooms. The dues for the association are $1.00 for men and 50 cents for ladies. A draft of a bill giving the President broad powers to fix prices of food and other products essential to the conduct of the war or for domestic consumption has been laid before members of the house agriculture committee, in Washington, by President Wilson with the request that it be pressed for passage. It is understood that ! cotton is to come under the list. I The two cotton n ills of the Fort Mill Manufacturing company closed down Friday morning in compliance with the order of Fuel Administrator Garfield for a period of five days. The power used by these mills is from the hydro-electric plant of the Southern Power Company, out the process of dyeing and finishing requires a certain amount of steam and the management seems willing to cooperate in the spirit of the order to conserve fuel. The heatless Mondays will be generally observed without complaint by merchants and office men, all ? - vfx miuiii occin wining 10 muKe sacrifices, if necessary to aid in the prosecution of the war. Teachers Meet Here Saturday. The regular meeting of the Eastern Division of the York Teachers' Association will be held in the school auditorium in this city Saturday afternoon. W. D.
