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. }

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

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.

quantity was to be used. This
privilege is now revoked.

The Glerlovs Fourth.
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.

lfo Wore Whiskey Permits.
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

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. _
