r 7* ' i '.' :? bwwln WbiteVille pet > . - . * Se^prescri^tiS^epartment of Ar. Will McCUlland, of Char. Ictte, was a visitor in Fort Mill last Friday. .William H. Grier who is attending school in Charlotte spent , the week end at his home here. Mrs. B. H. Massey. of Bristol, Conn., is expected this week for a visit to Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Massey, in this City. Misses Ethel anA Elizabeth Pemblum of Charlotte, were guests in the home of Mr. E. L. Hughes Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. John Culp of Charlotte, and Mrs. Clyde Hamilton of Mt. Holly, were week end visitors of their mother,. Mrs. W. T. Hoagland, in this city. As The Times goes to press it is learned that Mrs. Frank Wilkerson died at her home in the mill village last night, after an illness of only a few days. She is survived by a husband and several children. Mr. J. Z- Allen, of Gurdon, Ark., a resident of Fort Mill township some twenty odd years ago, was here the past week on a visit to relatives and friends. If the city officials would have those holes in Booth street, in front of the residence of Mr. E. W. Kimbrell, filled in they would receive the thanks of numerous persons who travel the street daily by auto, buggy, etc. Constable Joe F: Lee, who has been seriously ill of pneumonia for Borne days at his home one mile east of Fort Mill, is steadily improving and his friends hope that he may soon be able to be ' out again. Patrons of The Majestic Theatre have a rare treat in store for them tomorrow when Marguerite Clark comes in 'The Goose Girl." This picture was the one which is accredited with having made Miss Clark famous as a screen artist. A large number of the admirers of this noted star doubtless will embrace the opportunity of again seeing her. Case & Chapman, auto mechanics, have leased the new garage building of the Fort Mill Lumber company and will occupy the new place upon its completion about ten days hence. These yonng men came to Fort Mill only a few weeks ago and with a thorough knowledge of the business and strict attention to their duties have already built up a nice business. Mrs. Win. Wright died sud-! denly at her home in the Millfort mill village Monday afternoon and the remains were interred in New Unity cemetery the following day. Mrs. Wright had returned home from a short stay in a neighbor's home when she fell in a feint and expired before medical aid could be summoned. She is survived by a husband and two small children. The Flint Hill Home Demonstration club met Friday afternoon with Mrs. Floyd McClellland. The subject discussed during the meeting was "Poultry Products." Miss Minnie Garrison and Mish Ashe, York county demonstration agents, were present at the meeting, which was a very interesting one. There was prepared anrl aarvorl o rtumKat* nf /lolnttf ? wv? m ?4UIIIVW* WA uaiuvj egg dishes. The April meeting of the club will be held with Mrs. W. W. Boyce. Lieut. Col. Thos, B. Spratt, of this city, has receiyed a communication from Col. P. K. McCully, commanding the 118th Infantry. Thirtieth Division, in which he expresses the desire that all officers and enlisted men of the regiment who have preceded it to the United States, whether by reason of wounds or from other cause, meet on a day to be set in Columbia during the first week in April for the purpose of reviewing their regiment There are a number of wounded men and others who were sent home on special duty who will doubtless be present at the review and participate in the exercises of , V the day. I i urn i CARD OF THANKS. 1 wish to thank the good people of Fort Mill for the kindness shown me daring the aheet illness and death of Of wife. May God bless each and evexyone.1 *'A precious oog frets uaisgone. V * Hon J./L. Ho&stooc probate judge of To* county has toned 9*11 to all Confederate vet**ti? and widows of Cohfttderate veterans to matt at the county courthouse on next Saturday. All of the Confederate veterans and widows of Confederate veterans are exoected to attend the meettajr. even whether or not they now he receiving pensions or are applicants therefor. It is quite possible that there are some Confederate veterans and widows ..a4, 1- *-Si I uj. vcienou wno, cnougn pnysicaUy able to attend, have no means of transportation. It is not thought probable, however, that there are any such who are without friends who will see that they are provided with the necessary means of transportation. The object of the meeting is to secure a general enrollment of all the veterans and to get information looking to a proper distribution of the pension fund. Tine files Ahead-An Hoar. The time for moving the clocks ahead is next Sunday night at 12 o'clock. Let's get that definitely located in our heads right now so that there will be a minimum of confusion about it. The time is next Sunday night, March 30, and the hands of the clocks move forward, not backward. For instance if your hour for getting up is six o'clock, which it probably isn't, you will still get up at six o'clock after next Sunday morning, although the time-piece in your pocket or on yuor mantel will say that it is seven o'clock. Time itself doesn't change; the timepieces only. The sun-dial will still register actually what the position of the sun indicates as to the actual time of day and the old rooster will continue to do his crowing by the habits which have in the past governed him, but the mechanical contrivances by which one tells when to get up and get to work and when to stop and go to bed will be an hour ahead of the hour that really is. This maneuver all comes about because the original daylight savings bill which was passed by the National solons did not get off the books during the dying moments of the late and unlamented Congress. There was an effort made in this direction, but the republicans were still so busy filibustering that no interruption could be allowed for such an important matter, not even for such insignificaat items as passing appropriation bills to run the government on for the next several months. York's Opportunity. York county's apportionment of Federal money for building roads amounts to $88,687.93. | under present conditions, this money will become available when York county covers it dollar for dollar. When this is done, the county will have for road building the sum of $177.375.86, which it can use on projects approved by the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture. With its apportionment of Federal funds plus the funds which it must provide before the Federal money is available, York county can build about 81 miles of concrete road or about 607 miles of top-soil or sand-clay road. These figures on mileage are based on the assumption that grading, culverts, etc., will cost $2,000 per mile; top-soil or sand-clay surfacing will cost $1,500 per mile; and concrete surfacing will cost $20,000 per mile. These estimates are based on averages and will not hold good for all cases. Therefore, the figures on mileage stated above are app/oximately only given for purposes of comparison. A Pleasant Affair An enjoyable masquerade party was Riven Thursday night by Miss Helen Hughes at the home of Rev. W. R. Bouknight. Those attending wore costumes and masks, and after enjoying them-1 selves for a time, the masks were removed and refreshments were served. The several contests were carried out in a most pleasing manner. Those receiving honors for the most unique costumes were. Miss Martha Dyches, as an old maid; Miss Virginia Barber, as a girl of the sixties; Miss Mary Bouknight, as a Red Cross nurse; Fravor Kimbrell, as a clown; Gilber Bouknight and William Crook, dumb men of the movies. Refreshments were again served, at 11, o'clock. NOTICE. Notice is hereby given thet applications for a principal and an assistant for the ensuing term of the Gold Hill achool will be received by the board of trustee* up to and including Thursday, April trd.

Cls*-as. | Claims for the $60 additional ; bonus authorized xi* su*,w?r?.! revenue act, the department , said, shoald be sent to the zone i finance office at Washington and the application should be ac- , companied by a certified copy of the discharge certificate to be made by the nearest recruiting officer, a statement of all mili- * tary service since the declaration j of war against Germany and the 1 address to which the check j should be sent.

It was reiterated that it was also unnecessary to employ attorneys or other claim agents in order to , have these claims adjusted. i > r The Anti-Extract Law. The people of South Carolina, . writes the Columbia correspond- ] ent of the News and Courier, ] are uncertain as to the pro- * visions of the "anti-extract" \ law passed at the last session of the general assembly, judging 1 by the number of letters daily | received by the office of the i attorney general for an opinion ( on the statute. This opinion is i expected to be delivered in a i few days. , The act makes it. unlawful to ] sell, offer tor sale, receive or ' have in possession any tonics, bitters,' drugs, medicines, toilet articles or compounds containing alcohol in greater quantity than " is necessary tor the purpose of ' extraction, solution or preservation of such preparation and I their sale, when they can be used as a beverage, can be pro hibited. The attorney general is asked what is the proper percent age of alcohol and who will decide this question. The bill is ; silent on these matters; but it is manifestly inexpedient to have a chemical analysis of every bottle of preparations containing alcohol sold in the State. The only logical way to solve the difficulty, it is thought, is to apply the standards of the Federal pure food and drug act, under which such concoctions must be sold anyway. Nay Make World Tour. Columbia State. A recent visitor to Columbia who spent a day looking around ! at the sights was Col. Leroy ; Springs of Lancaster, the owner ; of the largest cotton mill under ; one roof in the United States. There was a time when Colonel Springs was heard of quite a lot, among other things he was one of the little band from South ( Carolina that went to the national convention in Baltimore and stuck to Woodrow Wilson until the nomination for president came to the New Jersey man. But, since Colonel Springs has a son who is an ace in the American flying corps, the pater has about decided that it is time for him to retire from business and make a tour around the world, where he will not have to play second fiddle. Colonel Springs expressed great surprise at the continued and substantial growth of Columbia. He has always been somewhat partial to Charlotte, where he spent much of his youth, and for reasons of State it would be indelicate to quote any comparisons that he might or might not have made, but the fact re mams that he is enthusiastic about Columbia. What pleased him was that all of the business of the city is not confined to that part of Main street between the postoffice and the capital, as formerly. but is spreading out over many blocks. He thinks that Columbia is the coming town of this section. NOTICE OF SALE.
