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

$100,000 war work fund.
Two pieces of real estate belonging

court Satnrday at public aution,
a house and lot on Booth street
being bought by S. L. Meacham
for $1800, and the livery stable

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

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.

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

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

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
