Merritt, of this city, , > has been discharged from the army and has accepted a position v with the Southern Power com- r pany. * While The Times has no record x of the purchases, it is believed a that few less than one dozen ^ new automobiles have been r bought by Fort Mill people s during the last two weeks. a Officers of the town Sunday r morning placed the proprietors 1 of several of the soda fountains 8 under bond for dispensing cold ^ drinks, ice cream, etc. It is understood, however, that the cases against the fountain men have not yet been called for trial. } Mr. John B. Erwin, Con- j| federate veteran and one of the 0 town's oldest and most highly j. esteemed citizens, is critically ill at his home on White street. a Mr. Erwin has been in poor 0 health for some time and little a hope is entertained at present \ for his recovery. The Times is informed that the building committee of the board of trustees of the Foit t Mill school on Tuesday awarded f to Jesse L. Howie the contract i for the erection of the new 1 $15,000 addition to the school p building. Work on the new s building is to begin as soon as v the necessary material can be v gotten on the ground. n Postmaster B. H. Massey re- v quests The Times to state for the v benefit of the public that there s is no change in the postage rate for letters going out on the rural ^ routes, the rate beincr 2 cents as .. heretofore. "Drop" letters for ' delivery from the office require Q only one cent postage. The Yorkville Enquirer says: "0. H. Faris, who on July 1 resigned the position of superintendent of the Yorkville Water, Light and Power company to go into the electrical business for himself, has rented the Bratton building on South Main street and has already established himself. He expects to supply the trade of Yorkville and Clover." Mr. Faris is a son of Mr. I. L. Faris of Fort Mill township. Sale of "Dope" Cut Down. Drug addicts can no longer obtain narcotics on physicians' prescriptions merely to relieve the suffering caused by the lack of the drug, under stringent regulations issued Sunday by the bureau of internal revenue gOVorn in or tho minntitv which mnv v,,w " ------ ?j be ordered by physicians. It wai> possible, under the old regulations, for a physician to prescribe '"more than is apparently needed to meet the needs of a patient in the ordinary case," if he stated on the prescription the purpose for which the unusual quantity was to be used. This privilege is now revoked. Pension Noney.

Independence Day was gensrally observed as a holiday in ?ort Mill, the two cotton mills ilosing down until Monday and learly all the business houses akin? at least a half holiday. )ne of the most pleasant feaures of the day was the big >icnic given by the cotton mills vhich took place at Spratt Springs, / just beyond the town imils. Many games and conests were provided and a >ountiful dinner was served. mere were two games of >aseball between the Fort Mill earn and that of North Charotte, N. C.. one in the forenoon ind the other in the afternoon, n both of which the local team vas victor. This team is makng a record for itself in the ram<?s with other teams of the Catawba league, having up to Friday lost only two games luring the season. Winthrop Needs Money. High cost of building material tnd laber has brought about a :ondition at Winthrop college vhich may exclude from atendance on the institution some 60 pupils next year. At the 917 session of the legislature, in appropriation of $100,000 was nade to provide a new dormitory milding which would accommolate about 200 pupils. Work vas started in 1917, but on iccount of the outbreak of the var and the mustering of the nation's resources it was halted ind was resumed a short time igo. It was found that by eason of the increased cost of naterial and labor the monpv tvailable was not sufficient to onstruct a building such as had >een planned originally. The rustees estimate that with the unds on hand they will be able o complete a smaller building vhich will accommodate about 40students and that by borrowng some $(>0,000 they can carry ut the original plans for the arger structure. Every year bout 300 students are turned way from Winthrop by reason f the lack of accommodations, o that the need of the larger luilding is evident. Twenty-Eight Lynchings.

The lust liquor permit issued to any citizen of the county of the county of York entitling the holder to order a quart of whiskey for medical use has been written, and the county probate j judge has thrown his hook of I blank permits into the discard, having no further use for it. The county wont d?y on July 1, along with the rest of the country, and the probate judge wound up officially the liquor end of his business. It is interesting to note that during the time the quart a month law was effective in South I j Carolina, a period of a little over two years, a total of 6,612 liquor permits were issued to York j county people, perhaps the small- \ est issued in any county as large as York. There never was a time as long as the law was effective. when these nermits were issued promiscuously, as was the ~ case in some counties of the State. The person who applied here had to make a pretty Rood d showing that the stuff was really ir needed for medical purposes, ? else there was nothing doing.? w Yorkville Enquirer. ^ n More Soldier Money. \\ If a bill which has just been ?i introduced in congress by Sen- "J ator Park Trammell of Florida, a is passed there will be a big S increase in bonus money going p to soldiers in the recent war. m Senator Trammell is the author ,T1 of the measure which allows p soldiers a bonus of $60. How- tl ever, he does not believe this is tr} enough and will endeavor to have both houses ot Congress <,J increase this amount so that the A following will hereafter be paid: $30 for three and not exceeding ~ four months' service, $60 for four and not exceeding five months' service, $00 lor live and not exceeding six months' service, $120 for six and not exceeding seven months' service, $150 for each serving over seven months. _ MAJESTIC TODAY Mary Pickfurd ft in "Behind the Scenes, a Paramount drama in live acts.
