The organ is expected to reach Fort Mill within the next month and will be installed immediately after it arrives. Capt.George L. Potts expects to leave Fort Mill within a few weeks for Blythewood.

The Christmas season has been productive of much social pleasure in the i?onu mipunnq iihunnt IIUIIIC UI IIIUIIJ |/x ?wxea.w ... from their homes here during the greater part of the year that Father Time put behind him yesterday and there have been a number of parties, family gatherings and Christmas dinners. Christmas exercises for the children of the Methodist church were held Sunday morning, December 21, at which i package of candy and fruits was presented to each child. The Sunday school also presented the superintendent, A. O. Jones, with a gold watch and the secretary, M. J. Adcock, with a fountain pen. Work was resumed at the local cot ton mills Monday morning following tb?- suspension of operations for three y41ays last week to afford the operatives to eojoy the Christmas holidays. Many of the operatives visited friends in nearby community s while the milk were closed down and others had th< pleasure of entertaining friends in theii homes. Christmas dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Jones last Thursdaywas interrupted by the discovery ol fire burning briskly on the roof of the dining room, thought to have caught from a defective flue. Mr. and Mrs. i untiii-tiiininir 11 niimhor of I r. -- gentlemen relatives at dinner and all joined in extinguishing the blaze. A considerable hole was burned in the roof. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Rogers were greatly relieved recently to receive a letter from their son, Angus, from whom they had not heard for five years and for whose safety they felt great apprehension. Young Mr. Rogers enlisted in the American navy about eight years ago. In the letter to his parents, written from Norfolk, Va., he said that he had gone through the World war safely aboard a submarim and that he hoped to come home soon. The citizenship of Fort Mill recently has been enriched by the removal to the town of Mr. C. C. Mcllwain from his farm in the Marvin section of Union county, North Carolina. Mr. Mcllwain is a Confederat veteran, having run away from his home in 1861 at the age of 16 and enlisted in the 17th South Carolina regiment. H? known many interesting stories of the war and much of the activities of the Ku Klux in this section and later on The Times hopes to induce him to tell some of his stories through these columns. Mr. Mcllwain and his family are living on Tom Hall street. Fort Mill passed through the Christmas season with a minimum of disorder?a condition attributed by many to the absence of liquor. Some years ago when liquor was cheap and easily obtained, hundreds of gullons were shipped to Fort Mill for consumption here during the Christmas holidays and as a consequence there was much quarreling, some fighting and considerable loud swearing and other forms of boisterous conduct on the streets and in other public places in the town. Onn.lUlnno or.. nntnhlu imnriiVi't) since V/UllUltlUHO ai V iiwmv.j -.J l.qunr has been outlawed by both the State and National governments and Y the people gem-rally seem to get more I real pleasure out of tin- Christmas holif days. One of the seemingly good effects of the prohibition laws is that nearly all the children are now well clothed and provided with the confections and innocent amusements so dear to the childish heart during the Christinas season. Christines Tree Success. Much credit is due S. A. Lee, superintendent of the Baptist Sunday school, an! his corps of teachers for the success of the Christmas tree displayed in the chirch at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of Christmas day. The beauty of the | tret? was increased by a background of K home scenes at Christmas, extending alrdoat entirely across the church. The f hoifee was packed with an audience v/hikh enjoyed the recitations by the B children, the songs by the selected ^ choit and the pranks of Santa Claus. Bag! of fruit, nuts, candy and raisins wera distributed to the entire school and m the visitors who remained for that lart of the service. In connection with the Christmas tree ^xerciaes, Dr. Dychea was prea check for *76, the gift g 'I ?????? Little klection Interest. Very little interest has thus far been manifested n the town election to be held on January 13 and it is doubtful whether more than a hundred votes will be cast if the flection, many citizens who otherwise are qualified to vote and who doubtless would have taken part in the election having failed to secure the State registration\ certificates necessary to enable them to obtain town registration certificates. The town registration books close Saturday and up to this time less than 50 certificates have been issued by the clerk. Besides a mayor and six aldermen to be elected on January 13 to serve the town for two years, three school trustees and a member of the Public Works Commission also are to be chosen on that date. L. A. Harris, a former mayor of the town, is the only candidate thus far announced for mayor. Mayor B. E. Patterson is quoted as having stated Tuesday that! he would not be a candidate for reelection. Visits Old Home. Col. William Mack of New York City spent the holidays in Fort Mill at the home of his mother, Mrs. Hattie B. Mack. Colonel Mack is a distinguished lawyer, ranking among the leaders of the American bar. He was reared in Fort Mill and the friends of his youth and young manhood have observed with gratification his success as a lawyer. Although he is used to doing things in a big way and has spent many years in the larger cities of the country. Colonel Muck says his visits to Fort Mill and the opportunity these visits afford him to mingle with his old friends here are among the real pleasures he gets out of life. George A. Givens Dead. George A. Givens. a well known Confederate veteran, who lived in Fort Miil for a long time, hut who had made his home in Rock Hill in recent years, died in that city last Thursday night and the interment was at Laurelwood cemetery Friday morning. Mr. Givens was 75 years old and is survived by two sons, James and Thomas Givens. He was a kind hearted man who had many friends in this section, all of whom will regret to hear of his death.

An interesting holiday event for the little boys and girls of the Presbyteriar Sunday school was the Christmas tree given at the church last Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock by the officers and teachers of the Sunday school. The tree was erected immediately in front of the pulpit and was prettily decorated with Christmas colors and lighted by numerous candles. The exercises consisted of Christmas carols, recitations by a number of the younger Sunday school pupils, the reading of an original Christmas story by Mrs. Elizabeth Belk and the presentation of a bag of fruits, nuts and candies to each of the little folk by Santa Claus, personated for the occasion by Capt. James D. Fulp, a former superintendent of the Sunday school. An incident of the exercises was the presentation of a substantial gift in gold to Mrs. C. S. Link, for years the faithful organist of the church. The pastor of the church, the Rev. J. B. Black, who was expected to make a talk on the life of Christ of peculiar interest to children, was unable to be present on account of illness. For Mayor. Friends of L. A.
